Such Is Freemasonry.
It appears from the notices in the local papers that the Freemason volunteers of Liverpool have not taken kindly lo the refusal by the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of the permission they desired to found a Volunteer Masonic lodge . Rightly or wrongly , the petitioners believe that the disapproval came not from the throne itself , but from the
power behind the throne , and the opinion is strongly expressed that , had his lordship but seen his way to receive a deputation of the petitioners , his answer would have been of a different nature . The petitioners cannot see why—Volunteer lodges being already established in London , in
Manchester , and in ISirmingham—permission should be refused to found one in Liverpool , where the number of Masonic volunteers , already large , is being rapidly augmented .
« S > ® o The Freemasons of Northampton gave their annual treat lo the old people of the town recently , the gathering taking place at the Corn Exchange . Between 700 and 800 guests were entertained to a substantial meat tea , the wives and members of the families of the brethren pn siding at the tables ,
about 100 of the members of the various lodges acting as waiters . After tea a few short speeches were delivered , the speakers including the R . W . Bro . Lord Euston , Prov . Grand Master , the Mayor of Northampton ( Councillor A . E . Marlow ) , and the Rev . Lloyd T . Jones , the Vicar of All Saints .
Subsequently a capital entertainment was provided , the programme consisting of a cinematograph exhibition , which was divided into three sections , the intervals being filled with musical contributions by the Masons and their friends .
