[ ERRATA . —For £ 11 , 090 in fourth line of leader on page 92 , read— £ 11 . 126 13 s . 6 d . ] The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe , Prov . G . M . for Cornwall , in proposing "The Chairman ' s Health , " said that it was as well in exciting times like the present , to turn one's thoughts from war and foreign politics to questions which concerned the meetings of honest

Englishmen , and a question which concerned them very much was that of benevolence and philanthropy . He , with the noble Chairman , congratulated the Institution on the success of this meeting . Masonry had bonds which connected men together in different ways . The great feature of Masonry was its character of being cosmopolitan , and holding out mutual claims and mutual duties .

( Cheers . ) He believed those cheers , were not the cheers of after-dinner philanthropy . He hoped the time might be distant when Masons would bc called upon to fight , but he might add

as those now present . They might not have thought when they were at that table that they would be recipients of the bounty of this Institution ; but it was a fortunate thing that there was an Institution , which opened its doors to deserting objects of charity . Year by year tributes to its worth were made frcm all parts of the country in the shape
