THE BENEYOLENT INSTITUTION . TO THE EDITOR OF ( tHE FREEMASONS * MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR , PEAJt Sir and Brother , —When the Board of Stewards were appointed to conduct the proceedings of the last festival of our Benevolent Institution , each
member deposited a certain sum to defray the "necessary expenses . When the Board balanced their accounts it was found that the deposit exceeded the expeni ^ Jtu re hy fifteen shillings each .

My object in trespassing upon your columns on the present occasion is to invite the attention of Lodges and individual Brethren to two modes ( easy in themselves ) by which this important article , so necessary to the domestic
comfort of the annuitants , may be gratuitously and adequately provided . The first is that Lodges generally ( and those in London in particular ) should contribute a small sum from their Benevolent Fund , say ten shillings annually ; should this mode be objected to , the next I would suggest would be that the members of every Lodge should be solicited to subscribe one shilling annually , or even sixpence ; let the amount be forwarded to Bro . Farnfield and expended by the Committee of Management .
I deem this to be so simple a mode for promoting the comforts of our annuitants as to induce me to hope that one of these , or some such plan , will he adopted . The London Lodges will soon be opened for the season , and if Brethren will only jfive their attention to the matter , I am confident that a sufficient sum will be raised to provide our annuitants with coals for the coming winter .
