MASONIC CHARITIES . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , I have read with a degree of interest the letters of "Zeta , " who appears to be self-appointed censor of defaulting' provinces , but who , to my mind , fails in comprehending- or gauging the actual position of a province

( be it Lincolnshire or any other ) which secures by i ' votes the election of its candidates to the Central Charities . As these elections are conducted on the princip le of recorded votes for which a sum has been paid , I would respectfully ask whether the defaulting province referred to by " Zeta " secured its votes in any other way than by payment ? If so , a grave reflection is cast upon the

management of the Central Charities . But , as I am of opinion all votes are paid for , will Brother " Zeta , " who has gone so nicely into the figures for Lincolnshire , for those years suited to his purpose , kindly take the like comparison lot preceding years ? If he does this he will perhaps be surprised to find that the province now selected for " Zeta ' s " strictures ranked amongst the foremost of those who contributed largely to the Central Charities , and lor the votes thus obtained secures the election of its candidates , proving that in the aggregation of donations and subscriptions the province has done well for those grand Central Charities in the past ) as it will , I hope , be found to do in the future .
