Provincial Grand Lodges.
A LODGFi FOR N ^ TO THE EDITOR OF ^ ^ T ^ Sir and Brother , —Being anxious to get up a Lodge at Netting Hill , if possible , could yoti inform me of any way to find out the names and abodes
of Freemasons residing in that part of town . I think the nearest Lodge to me is beyond three miles ; if you could help me I should feel much obliged . Yours fraternally , A Brother .
[ Perhaps some of our correspondents residing in the neighbourhood will give the inforrhation .- ~ Ei > . ]
T ^ TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS * MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . thank the Brethren w ^
Bro , Lyall , Bro . Binckes a the Masonic schools ; to express our regret that , through pressure of other business , we h ^ e as yet been have beeh received ; and ^ ^ ^ ^ fo suggestions which have been made to us will receive every consideration .
We contemplated presenting our report in the present month , but having been apprized by finding also that several Provincial Grand Lodges will be held in September and October , and being unwilling to present an incomplete report—we have extended the date for receiving replies to our communication to Saturday , 13 th November .
In reply to questions why the annuity funds for aged Freemasons and for Freemasons' widows have not beeninchided in this inquiry , I feel bound to state , in justice to my colleagues and myself , that when the work of conducting it was imposed on us by the general committee ofthe Boys' School , we were very desirous that it should be extended , so as to embrace the other institutions . Accordingly , we sought permission from their respective
committees to make a joint communication on behalf of " the Masonic charities . " The committee of the Girls' School gave their consent ; but the committee of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution preferred independent action . To our great regret , therefore , wehad , as a sub-committee , no
alternative but to make our communication refer exclusively to the Masonic schools . " Being , however , quite as deeply interested in the fund fox aged Freemasons and in that for Freemasons' widows as we are in the schools , we shall be much pleased if a general plan for provincial organization once established in each province , it should include within its scope all the charities ofthe Order .
