Original Correspondence.
The increased number of subscribers would consequently create an additional amount of labour on the staff now employed , for which I think the committees would be in a position to increase the salary of each officer in accordance therewith .
It is a well-known fact that our charities are supported by a very small minority of the members of the Craft . That should not be , we ought to have at least one-half of the body subscribers . I remain , dear Mr . Editor , Yours fraternatly , A COUNTRY BUMPKIN .
THE " RECTANGULAR REVIEW" ON "FREEMASONRY : ITS USE AND ABUSE . "
( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) SIR AND BROTHER , —The letter of Brother Binckes in your last number does not give the information we asked for ; and it practically admits the correctness of our statement that of upwards of ; £ 12 , 000 collected in 1 S 69 for the Royal Masonic
Institution for Boys , the boys themselves received little more than a third . If Bro . Binckes would give the amount by which the debt on the Institution was actually reduced by the collection of 1869 , we could then pretty accurately get at the cost of administering the Fund .
Bro . Binckes ' s refusal to publish an account of the Stewards' Fund is significant , and for the present it must be left to the imagination of the Craft how much money is squandered in that way . It would be useless continuing this
correspondence , which only elicits vague replies , accompanied by what are intended to be caustic remarks . But we may elsewhere take up the whole question of waste of public charity ( including the Masonic ) , dealing with the subject in detail and at length . Yours truly and fraternally , THE EDITOR " RECTANGULAR REVIEW . "
( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER ,- I had occasion a shoit time ago to repply to a letter which appeared in your columns adverting pretty freely on the nonexistence of charity and benevolence in Scotland . Since that date another gem has been added to the
MASONIC MONUMENT .
diadem of the Lodge Clyde , No . 408 , in the form of a handsome monument erected by that young and flourishing lodge over their lairs , in the Eastern Division , Southern Necropolis . The monument having been finished in the sculptor ' s yard , Masonstreet , Glasgow ( Bro . Alex . Gilmour ' s ) , it was on
Friday , 9 th inst ., removed and erected on its present site ; it is composed of Aberdeen granite , from the celebrated Rubislaw Quarry , which is the compound known as eurite . It is an obelisk fifteen and a half feet high , three feet six inches at the base , the dies are polished on three sides ; above the dies and
below the column is a square block with the words cut out , " The property of the Lodge Clyde , No 408 , " at bottom of the column , and cut out in the granite is the equilateral triangle with the words Faith on the left side , Hope on the right , and Charity on the base ; above all , and forming the
point of the triangle is the all-seeing eye , with radiating rays within , and under the eye is the letter G . and the H . B . lying open at Ecclesiastics xii . chap ., and the compass and square third degree . The letters on the left are beautifully coloured blue , with the cross on a shield within the F . : those on
the right , gold with crimson shading , and an anchor within the H . ; and those with the bare crimson with the cup in gold within the G , at top of the obelisk , are two 1 '; - . -. ; - . across with Greek border indented . There are two members of the lodge interred here , one of them having been one
of the founders . While writing the above , your number for this week is to hand ; in looking over your leader , I observe that under the jurisdiction of our new M . W . G . M ., you expect better things may be looked for , and a new era dawn on the Craft in Scotland ;
it may not be known to our brethren in the South , that some of the lodges here arc far in advance of others in following their footsteps in a charitable point of view . The Lodge Clyde , we believe , was the first to keep up by yearly subscription , two beds in the Royal Infirmary , which have been the . means
of alleviating the sufferings of many a poor brother . And they were the first to institute a Benevolent Fund in connection with their own lodge , kept up by a small annual test fee , which has been the means of relieving the widow and orphan . This fund was strenuously opposed , and had it not been for Bro . T . M . Campbell ' s ( the then
R . W . M ., ) assiduity and pcrsevcrence , it would have been long ago a dead letter ; but we are happy to state that it and other institutions of this lodge , are in advance of the age in Scotland . One of the bylaws of the lodge agrees with your leader , viz .: —for the purpose of preventing the pool from becoming stagnant , fresh rivulets are kept flowing on ; as the Master and Wardens cannot hold their office for
Ar00601
more than two consecutive years , thereby making the lodge a school of instruction in our noble Craft . A pity the Grand Lodge does not embody this law , and make it paramount ; we know of R . W . M . ' s holding the chair for eight or ten years , and , during the whole term , not working one degree . Now ,
such an institution as you mention only once started in Scotland , I have no hesitation in saying they would be supported . We hope the Earl of Rosslyn and members of Grand Lodge will immediately act on your suggestions , and we heartily wish them good speed . Yours truly and fraternally , MONTRA .
THE 1717 THEORY . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —As a reader of THE FREEMASON , I have been both amused and instructed by the discussion carried on about the 1717 Theory by your well-informed correspondents .
Whether Masonry as now practised had an existence prior to 1717 , is a question for your correspondents to settle ; but I would ask Bro . Buchan how he explains such a sign as that found on what is called the Apamccan Medal , said to be struck in the reign of Philip the Elder . This medal
represents a man and a woman in a floating box or ark , as well as represented leaving it . It is on leaving it that the artist has made the man give the sign guard and ^ step of a . . . Mason . Any three-step Mason who has seen or sees the medal , can easily fill up the blank . The woman is giving it , but not
correctly . I believe the original is in the British Museum , but a print of it is given in Hugh Miller ' s lecture on the " Noachain Deluge , " published in his " Testimony of the Rocks . " It may be imagination on my part , but in it I recognise the sign , guard and step of a degree of Masonry now practised . If it
is so , was the artist a brother of this degree ? I would like to hear Bro . Buchan or any of your learned correspondents give their opinion on the subject . I am , Sir and Bro ., yours , ROBERT CRAIG , P . M . St . John ' s , Beith .
