THE TESTIMONIAL TO THE GRAND SECRETARY . SIR , —There is an impression prevalent among many members of the Craft in the Metropolis , that the testimonial to our respected Grand Secretary , now in course of subscription , will take the form of a range of almshouses , named after our estimable brother , and perpetually commemorative of his worth and services . To such a testimonial I know

that very many Masons would strain a point to contribute liberally : and I am sure , therefore , I shall be readily excused for enquiring , through the medium of the F . Q . R ., whether it really is intended to devote the proceeds of the subscription now raising to the mere presentation of a purse of money to Bro . White , or to the higher , holier , and more enduring object of founding and endowing some almshouses for the reception and support of such of our aged brethren as have " fallen in evil days . " There may be two opinions as to the expediency of the former course , but there can be only one as to the desirability of the

latter , I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , J . S . [ We are not in the secret as to the worth and services to be commemorated ; but this we do know , that , saving a half-crown , the Grand Secretary has not subscribed to the Asylum for his aged brethren who

have " fallen in evil days . " Whether he would himself prefer the purse or the almshouses as suggested , this deponent sayeth not . Is not our correspondent somewhat satirical ? Surely the Asylum cannot be unknown to the liberal Masons hinted at . —ED . J
