Annual Festival Of The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.

you longer , brethren , but I will first say this , lhat thc Benevolent Institution is one that commends itself to ) -our generous support . 1 come from thc small province in thc vcr 3 ' westernmost of Wales , and I felt it 1113- duty on receiving an invitation to preside here lo come with a true Freemason ' s heart to " do what I could for you . ( Cheers ) . I assure you it has given mc great pleasure to preside here to-night , and 1 now ask 3-011 to drink right heartily "Success to thc Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons . " ( Cheers ) .

Bro . R AYNHAM STEWART : I am called upon most unexpectedly to return thanks for the toast proposed b y our wortliy Chairman . What are we all here for ? Wc are here lo help the aged , and to get others to help them . Brethren , I have been a Mason now live and thirty years , and the first stewardship 1 look m hand in my life was for this Institution . and 1 have been steward 111 , 1113 ' times since , but I am perfectly prepared , in case of need , lo serve another . Brethren , wc must have success . 1 111 , 13 ' tell 3-011 that , on that first occasion , wc thought it was a grand success when \ v _ got

/ . 5 00 ; but such has been the growth of our Institution and our organization lhat last 3 'car wc gat £ 14 , 0110 . Brethren , 1 ask you to come down to the Institution and sec it . 'l'he more you sec it , the better 3 'oa will know it ; and the more 3-011 know of it , the better 3011 will appreciate it . I am veiy proud to hear our Chairman ' s statement , and it pave mc great pleasure lo conduct him over that Institution , and bring him face lo face wilh ihe inmates . What would they have clone without that noble Institution' ' Gone to the l . t . dge of Benevolence . This Institution is belter than the

Lodge of Benevolence , because , in place of temporary aid , it affords permanent relief ; so long ns they live and behave themselves 1 ) 103 ' are provided for . And I know that when I ask you to do what you can 1 am not begging success , but 3-011 mean to respond heartily and make it a thorough success . When you hear thc results of the efforts that have been made , 1 think 3-011 will be proud of ihcm ; and I will , in conclusion , only echo the wcrds of our chairman , " Success lo ihe Institution ! " an Institution which helps those who cannot help themselves .
