THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR .

ADDRESS TO OUR READERS .

A CALM and unruffled prosperity to Masonry in England marks the close of another year . The melancholy war now raging in Europe , has in a great measure suspended the usual work of Masonry , in Lodges , near the seat of war , but opportunities are daily offered for the exercise of higher duties than mere ceremonial work . We almost daily read of instances of the practical

advantages of Freemasonry , and the exercise of its nobler principles . Enemy meets enemy in deadly conflict—one or the other is overpoAvered and on the point of being slain , when by some happy circumstance , the fact becomes known that both are Masons . The point of the sword is withdrawn , a fraternal salute supplants the embrace of death—and the erst deadly enemies are now the sworn friends and defenders of each other .

Aid to the sick and wonnded in war has occupied the attention of the charitable , and vast are the funds that have flowed into the exchequers of the various organizations for affording relief , to the detriment , we fear we must own , of some of our own noble charitable Institutions . With pride we are enabled to state that British Masons , both at home and in our colonies , have come well to the front with their subscriptions .

The time is approaching Avhen appeals will be made on behalf of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , the Eoyal Masonic Institution for Boys , and the Eoyal Masonic Institution for Girls . We have every reason to hope that the circumstances that have militated against the interests of other Charitable Institutions will not operate to the disadvantage of our OAvn . Bro . H . R .
