ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS .
The Seventy-first Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , was celebrated on AYeduesday evenin" - last , at the Hall in Great Queen-street-, and with a success unparalleled in its history , and almost of any other which is supported b y the voluntary contributions of a comparatively small section of the general community . For some time past , as is well known , frequent and urgent appeals were made to the
Crafc to endeavour to rid tho institution of a heavy mortgage debt which was a very unpleasant incumbrance , and materially limited tho sphere of its usefulness , as the building is capable of receiving a much larger number of boys than the ordinary income would support , to say nothing of the dead weight that was hanging to , and which annually required a considerable amount to bo paid as interest accruing thereon . Accordingly
the subject was taken up heartily , we believe , although we speak under correction , by some energetic members of the Crafc in East Lancashire , who were determined to use every effort in their power to free the Institution from the debt which lnuag like a millstone round their necks , and the result of the combined operations brought to bear has been attended with
magnificent results , as this festival produced a sum more than sufficient to rid the school of it , and thus set it free for wider and more extended operations . This pleasing state of things is highly honourable and gratifying to the Craft , for it shows what can be done by perseverance , and it realises iu an extraordinary degree the truth of our professions that Masonry is something
more than a name , having truth for its guide , honour as its watchword , and chaYity for its foundation , and long may such principles ever distinguish the noble Order to which it is our privilege to belong .
