THE DALY CASE . ( To the Editor of The Freemason ) . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —In your impression of February 19 th , you kindly gave me space for an earnest appeal to the Craft on behalf of the five orphan children of Bro . Bingham Daly ( late of the Dalhousie Lodge ) , who have been left wholly
unprovided for , with a mother hopelessly insane , now in Bethlehem Hospital . I had hoped that the more than ordinarily painful nature of the case would have elicited a warm response , and I undertook to acknowledge all
subscriptions in . your columns : permit me now to do so : — The solitary exponent of Masonic charity is Bro . James Green ( Prov . G . A . D . C . of Middlesex , W . M . 788 ) , 92 , Chancery-lane , who has kindly given halfa-guinea . Very fraternally yours , ANGELO J . LEWIS . Erskine Chambers , 3 6 , Lincoln ' s Inn Fields .
THE PERTWEE CASE . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —In your impression of March 19 th , there appeared an appeal on behalf ofthe girl Jane Pertwee Pattison , signed N . Gluckstcin , P . M ., & c , who stated that the late Bro . Pattison was P . M . and P . G . Treasurer . It is but fair to the memory of our late esteemed brother , as
well as to the interest of the child , that the brethren who exert themselves in the case should be informed that Bro . Pattison had also the honour of being P . Z . of 51 , and P . M ., E . C , Kt . Templars' Conclave ( I believe ) at Colchester . The early insertion of this will oblige , yours fraternally , E . GOTTHEIL , P . M . 141 .
ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR
BOYS . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —I have a large number of proxies for the Girls' School which I require to exchange for Boys ' , as I am representing at the coming election , on the iSth April , the case
of a son of the late lamented Bro . George Crabbe Sparkes , No . 54 on the list—need I add , a most deserving one . I shall also be thankful to accept proxies from brethren who have promised to support this case , or from those who may not have promised to
support other candidates . Knowing your goodness of heart in the cause of charity , I trust > ou will give insertion to this in your now universally-read paper , in hopes it may meet the eyes of many and induce them to assist me in a good cause . Yours-fraternally ,
EDWARD CLARK , P . G . S . Works , Micidlesex . 19 , Buckingham-street , Strand , W . C . [ We can strongly recommend this case . —ED , F . ] DEAR SIR . —Will you allow me , through the medium of your widely-circulated paper , to ask for any spare votes that your readers may possess , on behalf of Henry Charles Eade , an orphan , without
friends , and who is a candidate for the Boys' School . Brother Sncll , Albemarle Street , W ., P . M ., No . 5 , has 300 girls' votes which he is willing to exchange . Yours fraternally , G . R . PORTAL , P . M ., 10 . Albury Rectory , Guildford , 5 th April , 1870 .
ANTIQUITY OF FREEMASONRY . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —Numerous engagements prevented my reading , as usual , the weekly issue of THE FREEMASON . Having half-an-hour to spare , I have perused the last few numbers and although I cannot say I have studied them , I am
pleased to read the speech of a worthy brother , Chalmers Izett Paton , who certainly has thrown down the gauntlet . I refer to the s eech reported in No . 52 , page 3 , ofthe report of a London lodge , in which Bro . C . I . Paton openly declared that "Freemasonry was in a flourishing condition in the year
1136 in the northern part of Great Britain . " No answer in the negative has been given to this , nor do I think it possible for any one to do so . I certainly agree with him as to the declaration of this fact . But with all due deference to the brother I go a little beyond him , and say that it existed in Britain , although perhaps not in the northern part , of which
he seems to be a native . It did exist in the northern part in the year 926 , and surely the many learned men who belonged to it at that date , and also who have belonged to it since , cannot all be mistaken . I conclude by saying that so noble a declaration , not repudiated , must be held by the Craft as confirmatory and the truth . Youis truly and fraternally , MONTRA .
MASONIC WORKING . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER ,- —May I venture to add a few words to what I wrote last week on the accuracy and propriety of working our ceremonies ? Brother Gompertz complains , and very justly , of the occupation ofthe chair of K . S . by brothers who
are obliged to vacate it when any of its higher duties have to be discharged , than which there can be but one thing more decisive as to their unfitness for that exalted position , if they are unable to discharge the only part of its duties that demand knowledge and judgment , what business have they there ?
But if we must for a time ( I say for a time , because the attention that is now beinggiven to thestibject , and the praiseworthy efforts that are made by competent brcthrcn , v / hom I do not name , lest I should omit some who ought to be included , to discharge the duties of Preceptors in lodges of instruction ) , find
the chairs of K . S . sometimes occupied by incompetent brethren in no way worthy to represent him who symbolises knowledge and wisdom , it is better that they should vacate it when the higher work lias to be done , in favour of brothers who can do it properly , rather than that they should themselves
boggle through it after a fashion which , if it do not render it absolutely ridiculous , deprives it of all significance , and , therefore , of its impressive teachings . The more I reflect on our ritual , the more I am struck with its significance and beauty , with the pregnancy of its language , and the
appropriateness and agency of its symbolic terms of expression . But what does it become in the mouth of one who has no perception of all this—nf one who finds in it nothing more nor deeper than the mere words he has to utter ? Those who had the privilege of being present on the " public night" given by the
Chapter of " Prudent Brethren " on the last clay of March , could not fail to be struck and impressed by the sublime ceremonial of Royal Arch Masonry , as it was exemplified by Companions Brett , Boyd , Gottheil , West Smith , F . II . Gilbart , and Sharpe , nor to feel how much depends upon the competency
of those to whom it is entrusted to deliver it ( and what is true of Arch Masonry is equally true of Craft Masonry ) , to make it what it should be ; or , rather , I should say , lo show it as it is . The officiator must himself have a lively impression of its significance , for if his own feelings arc languid .
he can never inspire his hearers with any stiong emotion , seeing that they have to take their impressions from him at secondhand . It is only when he has himself caught a due elevation of soul in the presence ofthe sublime ceremonial in which he is engaged that the words he utters will convey to
others a feeling in accordance with ils sublimity . Now , thirl is what 1 conceive we should all aim at . But it is not to be attained to without a careful and patient study-of the meaning of every part of the doctrine and ritual of Masonry , so that its allegories and its symbols may be fully comprehended , and
their appropriateness mid beauty be perceived and felt , and the soul thus become animated through both the imagination and the judgment . As I have already intimated , I hope wc arc approaching the time when this will be the rule rather than the exception , so that Masonry may everywhere be found as a living spirit and not as a dead letter .
