The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
This , at least , is our opinion on the matter : and , that our readers may judge for themselves , we will reprint the resolutions . That of the 6 th of December , 1837 , was— " That this Grand Lodge recommend the contemplated Asylum for the Aged and Decayed Freemason to the favourable
consideration of the Craft . " And that of the first instant , was— " That the Report now received be referred back to the Board of General Purposes , to carry out its principle in detail , and ( be ) submitted to the Grancl Lodge at its next meeting ; " the principle being ihe unanimously repeated
opinion of the Board of General Purposes , " That it is expedient to alter the present mode of distributing Masonic bounty , as it is now effected by the Lodge of Benevolence , by substituting instead thereof , as to a portion of tlie Fund of Benevolence , a system of annuities , allowing the annuitants
to reside where ( hey please , to be granted to reduced and aged Freemasons ; under such guards and control , however , as would ensure the application of the fund towards the support of those whose characters and misfortunes , as well as Masonic zeal and exertions , had given them fair claims upon the sympathy and aid of the Fraternity . "
For the details mentioned , we must refer to the Quarterly Communication , which will be found under the usual head . They will serve as an outline of the plan , but require considerable emendations ; some of them , and perhaps the most striking , were pointed out in the Grand
Lodge by a Worshipful Brother , whose address on the occasion was received with much attention , and appeared to carry with it the concurrent opinion of all . But as these are matters in which every good Mason should be interested , we trust that there will not be any lack of preparation to
perfect the goodly work with the utmost diligence and sincerity . At last , then , and in our own day , the united efforts of the many , having the same object in view , although hitherto proposing to attain it by different means , will be crowned
