The Grand Lodge And The Patriotic Fund.
THE GRAND LODGE AND THE PATRIOTIC FUND .
The Grand Lodge have adopted the proposition of the M . W . G . M ., of Avhich notice AVUS given in December , ancl voted £ 1000 to the Patriotic Fund—though not with that unanimity we could have desired . Though we sincerely honour the opinions of those who felt themselves constrained to vote against the motion , on the ground that the funds of Grand Lodge were only applicable to the promotion of purely Masonic purposes , we yet
agree with the G . M . that the Patriotic Fund is an exceptional case—and one which we think the Grand Lodge have done well , in not only taking into consideration , but most liberally supporting . It may be , that some of our Masonic brethren or their families will become partakers of the advantages offered through the Patriotic Fund , and should they do so , their gratification we are sure will be enhanced by the knowledge , that amongst
the Subscribers , the Freemasons form no inconsiderable body . True it is , that many private Lodges ( to say nothing of individual brethren ) have liberally subscribed to the Fund—but the support so extended , would in a great measure have lost its importance and character , had the Grand Lodgenot placed its seal of approbation upon what had been done , by most liberally heading the list with a subscription of sufficient amount to prove to the world the liberality and the power of Freemasons in their corporate capacity .

Sec , calling for a little additional aid towards payinggOff the debt upon this building , and putting it in such a state that it may be referred to with , pride and pleasure by the brethren—Avhich cannot be the case whilst it is known that there is a debt against it . . As we stated in our last , less than £ 1 per Lodge will be sufficient for the
purpose , and any surplus obtained beyond the amount required will be devoted to the general objects of the Institution . Our advertising pages to-day , 0
