OOYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR XV ' " GIRLS . The Votes of the Governors and Subscribers are earnestly solicited on behalf of META BELL BRASIER . The following- letter , which appeared in the Freemason of the 20 th July , will fully explain the merits of the case . To Ihe Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — I trust that you will give space for the following letter , in aid of a girl named " Meta Bell Brasier , " whose case is so unitjue and exceptional that no words from me would be neeeled to draw attention to it , as any body thoroughly reading the details cannot fail to understand anil appreciate ; but as a rule , the circulars are mly carelessly glanced at and then thrown into the fire or waste paper basket ; I wish to attract the notice of your reaelers to a case whose claims only require to be known to receive the support of those whose votes are disengaged . Indeed , so great is the claim , that in my opinion , other claims which have one or more chances , might fairly lay in abeyance to secure her election . I know , or rather feel , that as a rule , you might reasonably decline a letter for any particular CJSI * , but 1 do believe that you could afford to insert this on behalf of a candidate whose position stands almost if not ejuitc alone . I beg to state that I was , and am , unacquainttd with any of the family , but when the case was pointed out to me by one who hail known the father and family well and for many years , I at once saw the great neeel of every exertion , as there are only three vacancies at the ensuing election , so I temporarily gave up a case which could better afford to wait . The case is as follows : The girl's father was initiated into Freemasonry in 18 53 , died in May , 1878 , leaving six elaughtcrs unprovided for , the younge-st of whom is the subject of my letter , anel shoulel she not succeed in the enduing election , her age will preclude her from another attempt ; now , the great claim consists in these facts , that our brc . thcr was a subscribing member for over twenty-five years , that l , e was a constant su bscriber to , and took an active interest in all the Institutions , and , brethren , this is the only chance we have of showing in a small way our appreciation of one who so ably performed his work anel assisted the Crj . ft eluring his life , let it not be said that the Craft gene-rally failed to render so small a tribute to one so worthy of our remembrance . lam , dear Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , CHARLES JOHN PERCEVAL , V . P . of all the Institutions .
