A circular letter waa read from the members of the Worthing Lodge , asking the aid of this Lodge and the Craft generally in relieving some of the distress caused in the town by the dreadful visitation of typhoid fever .

they will doubtless receive a substantial amount if their appeal for assistance is persevered in ancl brought nnder fche notice of the authorities . The Upton Lodge will consider this , and another appeal made to the members at the same time , in Committee .
