Festival Of The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.
whose services were justly eulogised by Gen . Brownrigg , was gracefully acknowledged by Colonel Lloyd-Philipps . With the " Sister Grand Lodges" was associated the name
of Brother General Laurie , whose reply was well received . In proposing the toast of the evening , " Success to the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution for Aged
Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons , " the Chairman spoke briefly but to the point . He drew attention to the vast amount of good that is being done by the Institution , its
large expenditure , which amounts annually to over £ 13 , 000 , and the heavy list of applicants who present themselves year by year to be admitted on the roll of annuitants , and he quoted the well-known story told of
Dr . Swift , on the occasion ot his being asked to plead tor a poor person and preach a sermon on his behalf , the text being " He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord , " and the sermon—perhaps the briefest on record— " All of
you who are satisfied with the security , down with the dust . " The toast was enthusiastically received , and Bro . Terry shortly afterwards announced a list of the donations ,
and subscriptions , amounting to the very handsome total of £ 13 , 047 Is , with nine lists still to be received—a total which has been exceeded on only rare occasions , even
during the brilliant period of the Prince of Wales ' s Grand Mastership . London , as represented by 137 Stewards , contributed towards this result £ 7 , 646 lis 6 d , while the Provinces by their 135 Stewards raised amongst them
Festival Of The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.
£ 5 , 400 9 s 6 d , Surrey loyally taking the lead with the splendid sum of £ 905 , a grand achievement for a Province which is very far from being numerically strong . Bristol ,
Essex , Gloucestershire , Herts , Kent , East Lancashire , West Lancashire , Middlesex , Norths and Hunts , Notts , Sussex , Worcester , and West Yorkshire also sent up
liberal donations . The health ot the Uhairman was proposed by Col . Lloyd-Philipps and , it goes without saying , was received with the heartiest applause , while Brother
Hedges , Secretary of the Girls' School , whose Festival is the next in order of occurrence , returned thanks for the toast of " Success to the other Masonic Institutions . "
Colonel Gierke Grand Secretary returned thanks for " the Ladies , " very happily . The usual concert followed in the Temple . Brother W . Ganz P . G . O . had charge of this part of the programme , and ably fulfilled his task , in which he was well supported by the Misses Clara Samuell , Mary
Beare , Maria Delval , and Frances Hipwell , Herr Poznanski , and Bros . Lehmeyer , Faulkner Leigh , Franklin Clive , and Egbert Roberts .
Thus has passed for 1883 the principal event in connection with the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , and while repeating our congratulations to all who took part in
it , and all interested in the continued success of the Institution , we can only express a hope that the Festivals of the two Schools will prove at least as successful .
