CHESHIRE CHARITIES .
A MEETING of the Corncaittee of Benevolence of the Province l \ . of Cheshire was held at the Crewe Arms Hotel , Crewe , on the 29 th ult ,, Colonel C . S . Dean presiding . The Chairman said that since the last meeting they had been able to invest a sum'of £ 1 , 300 in connection with the various
Masonic Benevolent Institutions of the Province . They had also invested a sum of £ 1 , 000 in Mersey Dock Board bonds ou behalf of the Cheshire Educational Masonic Institution . With regard to the Boys Centenary Festival , he thanked all , in the name of the Committee of Benevolence , for the magnificent way in which they
had responded to their appeal for that great charity . The Province of Cheshire subscribed £ 3 , 000 recently to that Institution , and as a result their voting power would be largely increased . Cheshire now stood ninth on the list of Provinces , and he knew that the Provincial Grand Master the Earl of Egerton was very proud of their positiou .
The Chairman explained the voting power of the Province in relation to the candidates for the Masonic Charities , and emphasised the necessity of votes being sent in to the Prov . G . Secretary to strengthen the position of the Committee in prosecuting the cases they took in hand rather than they should be used for individual cases .
The next Provincial Grand Lodge was fixed for Altrincham on the 28 th September . The affairs of the Province were in a perfectly satisfactory condition , and their funds were in a better state than they had been . He thanked the Brethren for their loyalty to the Province and their generosity .
The case of Hannah Wadsworth was adopted for election to the Eoyal Masonic Benevolent Institution , and Hannah Green was accepted for the Cheshire Masonic Benevolent Institution . Bro . F . S . Stevenson Hon . Secretary of the Cheshire Educational Masonic Institution was appointed to attend meetings of the Committee of Benevolence .

A SPECIAL meeting of the Egerton Lodge , No . 1030 , was held at the George Hotel , Heaton Norris . on Monday , 20 th ult ., for the purpose of moving a vote of condolence to the widow and family of the late Brother Captain Edward George Lingard P . M . P . P . G . J . W . His death at the age of fifty-seven occurred on the 4 ch ult ., at his residence , the Police Station , Beeley Street ,
Hyde , and was due to the effects of a tumour in the throat . The interment took place on Wednesday , 8 th June , at Hyde Cemetery , his remains being followed to their last resting place by several Brother Freemasons . He bad had a fairly checkered career , for as a young \ nan he entered the army and was' engaged in active
service on several occasions . Eventually he was gazetted Captain of the 21 st Eoyal Scots Fusiliers , at which time Colonel Murray , who commanded tbe Seaforth Highlanders , and was wounded in the battle of Atbara , was junior in rank to him and one of his most intimate friends . In 1878 Captain Lingard was appointed
superintendent of the Macclesfield Constabulary Division , where he served for several years and then became superintendent of the' Nantwich Division . Here he remained until the spring of 1881 , and was then promoted superintendent of the Hyde Division , which is very extensive , including Hyde , Dukinfield , Mottram ,
Broadbottom , Compstall , HolJingworth , Tintwistle , and the villages up to Woodhead . This position he held up to the time of his death . Our late Brother was for many years a supporter of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE , and in recording our loss of an old acquaintance we desire to add our sympathy with his widow and family .

The identification of Freemasonry with religion is in this country pretty well understood . That English Freemasonry is still under the ban of the Pope , and no Eoman Catholic can become a Freemason is true ; and it is also noticeable that the religious acts of Freemasonry are almost entirely associated with the Church of
England , partly , no doubt , because while the Church of England is Protestant it also provides a ritual very much in accord with Masonic functions . As a body , Freemasons have been associated with the erection of Truro Cathedral and other superb and stately edifices ; and no doubt Masons have before now made individual
gifts to their parish churches . One such gift has just been made to St . Clement ' s , Truro , by Bro . Edward Forbes Whitley P . M . 1529 and 331 . It takes the form of a beautifully-carved oak faldstool , on the front and sides of which Masonic emblems are carved in regular sequence , representing the vaxioiis degrees through which the donor has passed—Craft , Mark , Holy Eoyal
Arch , and Eose Croix . The faldstool has also been beautifully carved by two Brother Masons at St . Germans , Bro . J . B . Hancock and his assistant . It bears a suitable inscription : — " To the glory of the Most High , " and a second brass bears the text : " Lord , I have loved the habitation of Thy house and the place where Thine honour dwells .
