THE "RECTANGULAR REVIEW" "FREEMASONRY ; ITS USE AND ABUSE . " ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —It is just as I expected . The balance-sheet published in your issue of the 24 th ult ., though giving in detail every item of expenditure , has failed to satisfy the querulous Editor of " R . R . " And why ? Because having started with erroneous assumptions , he is
determined to maintain them at all hazards ; to harden himself stubbornly against conviction , and , looking down calmly and complacently from his purist elevation , to smile condemnation on those he has so shamefully abused . I will now , in brief , "give the amount by which the debt was actually reduced by the collection of 1869 " * . —
On the ist January of that year we had a balance at our bankers of ... ... , £ 1 , 286 Our receipts for the year from all sources were ... ... .,. ... 12 , 847 On the 1 st January , 1869 , we owed—Mortgage ... ... ... £ 10 , Builder and Architect ... ... 8 , 710
£ i 3 , 7 io Of this we paid to Builder and Architect 8 , 710 Leaving a liability of ... ... £ 10 , 000 and therefore our debt was reduced exactly by the £ 8 , 710 . Add to this the cost of the establishment at Wood Green , £ 4 , 671 , and £ 1 , 334 , " special
expenditure , " including interest , and you have a total of £ 14 , 715—the difference between £ 14 , 133 and £ 14 , 715 , showing balance due to the bankers on current account 31 st December , 1869 , £ 582 . I again ask , can any statement be plainer than this ? We are threatened , I see , with another taking up
of " the whole question of the waste of public charity ( including the Masonic ) . " I sincerely trust that the experience of the past will be evidenced in the future , and that equity , truthfulness , and candour will take the place of those qualities which to the regret of all have characterised the singularly angular periodical which claming for itself the
definitionright—has shown itself to be utterly inappreciative of what is thereby generally understood . I am , dear Sir and Brother , Yours faithfully and fraternally , FREDERICK BINCKES , Secretary Rl . Mas . Inst , for Boys . 6 , Freemasons' Hall , 2 nd Jan . 1871 .
( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER ,- ! am certainly at a loss to know what more a reasonable man can require than has already been furnished by Bro . Binckes in regard to the disposal of subscriptions for the support of the Boys' School . But as thc Editor of the
" R . R . " is so very anxious to know what is clone with the fees of the Stewards to the various charities , I would suggest that at some or all of the forthcoming festivals he should signify his intention of serving thc honourable office of Steward ; lie will
then be able to support thc chanties effectually , and likewise have his mind set at rest as to what is done with his and the other Stewards' fees . Sincerely hoping he will stand for the Boys , and gladden the heart of Brother Binckes by a long list and a good round sum ,
I am , dear Sir and Brother , Yours fraternally , J . O ., P . M . 861 .
SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —The inmates of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution wish to
convey their grateful thanks to a worthy brother who has generously presented each of us with a bottle of wine lo cheer us at this festive season . God bless him for his kindness 1 1 am , dear Sir and Brother ,
Yours respectfully and fraternally , L . BRl ' VEAU . Dec . 22 nd , 1 S 70 .
BALD STATEMENTS . ( To thc Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR , —Is not a statement like that made over the signature " C . G . Forsyth , '' 011 p . 60 S , No . 00 of your paper , a " bald statement'' ? otherwise
a statement totally unsupported by evidence , and . as such , may wc not set it down as the fancy ol C . G . Forsyth ? He says , " from the Encyclopedia Britaiiuica we learn . " How docs he learn it from that work ? No such paragraph as he gives , as if

Anthony O'Neale Haye has given us the best history of K . T . ' s that has ever been produced , and nowhere in it can be found that any other
connection than that . of employer und employed ever existed between the Knights Templar and the Freemasons—the free smiths , or any other handicraft . And yet such paragraphs as this , I notice , are repeatedy appearing in your paper and the Freemasons' Magazine andil / . yl-., and , beiug read , are believed , and disputes subsequently predicated
upon them . In No . 595 of the latter publication , on p . 428 , is a paragraph copied from the Charter of Cologne It appears as editorial , or among the " Masonic Sayings , " and the object apparently of it is to show that in the sixteenth century none were made Masons butprofessors of the Christian religion . Now ,
it would seem but reasonable that at this day the editor of such a respectable paperas the Freemasons ' Magazine , & c , would have learned- that the Charter of Cologne within years immediately following its publication by Frederick of Nassau , in 1 S 19 , was pronounced a forgery and a "Masonic fraud ; " and that it and the accompanying " Records
of the Lodge Valley of Peace , " said to have existed at the Hague in 1637 , were evidently gotten , up for the purpose of creating the belief that Masonry existed in the form of five degrees in Holland as early as the beginning of the sixteenth century . In his " History of Freemasonry , " Bro . Clavel enters into an exposition of this Charter of Cologne fraud
more fully than any other historian I have read after . He says of the " charter " : — " La charte est dcrite sur une feuille de parchemin , en caracteres maconnique ; elle est rddigde en langue latine du moyen-age ; l ' ecriture en est si altdree que sonvent il a fallu ajonter des lettres a des mots devenus in complets . "
Of the register or lodge record , he says : — " Le registre parait avoir etc" assez volmuineux . Les seuls feuillets qui restent indiquent qu'ils ont fait partie d ' un livre relic " , et Pont voit qu'ils ont etc endom mage ' s par le feu . " Of both these documents he then says : — " De savants antiquaires de 1 'univei . ite de Lcyde
ont constate" que le papier de ces feuillets est celin dont on se servait en Hollande an commencement du xvii . siecle , et que les caracteres qui y sont trace ' s appartiennent il la mime epoque . " . . . . He then gives a statement of the effect the discovery and publication of these documents had upon the brethren—some favouring their
authenticity , others denying the same ; and closes a paragraph upon this subject with the following : — " Sans parler des anachronismes dont abonde la chartre pretendue de 1535 , du dementi qu ' cllc donne aux fails incontestables et prouve . dont nous avons utd 1 ' echo dans le premier chapitre de
ce livre , il y a une consideration qui ruine de fond en comble l ' e ' conomie de la piece fabriqdc , ct qui n ' aurait pas du cchapper a la sagacit . des critiques . Cctle consideration la voici .

frauds upon the Fraternity as authentic and well supported . While he admits that Masonry existed in Holland as elsewhere in thc middle ages , it was the masonry of the stonecutter and church-builderan organisation differing essentially from the imaginary society mentioned in the Charter of Cologne of 1535 ; and there , as elsewhere on the Continent , such operative Masonry was dissolved within that century , not to be again revived .

This literary festival was held on Monday , the 26 th ult ., in St . George ' s Hall , Liverpool , where the winning competitors in prose , poetry , and music were adorned with the prize and blue ribbon by the President , Sir WatkinAVilliams Wynn , Bart .,
M . P ., P . G . M . North Wales and Shropshire , who presided on the occasion . After a most complimentary address had been read to the president , and his reply thereto , Miss Edith Wynn sang the solo , and the Birkenhead Cambrian Choral Society sang the chorus of the following song , written
specially for the occasion by Bro . Evan Jones , of Chester ( Hibernia Lodge , 597 ) . The sentiments of the song were so effectively given by Miss Wynn , that an encore was immediately demanded , and the large audience joined in the chorus . The song was also given , by special request , at the evening concert , when the spacious hall was crowded .
