MASONIC NOTES AND QUERIES .
HOAV THE CTBCnL . VTIOX OF THE " FEEEilASOXs ' MAGAZINE" MAY I 5 E INCEE . ISED . It is stated in my communication to the Freemasons' Magazine , No . 208 , March 18 th , 1805 , that "the _ usefulness of the Freemasons' Magazine is certainly considerable at present ; but this usefulness may well be looked upon as actually nought in
comparison with what it might become were the lodges not so indifferent regarding its success as they appear to be . " . . . "Tbat in my judgment the lodge that does not subscribe to the Freemasons' Magazine omits to do an important act which , for numerous reasons , would , most undoubtedly , be for the good
of Freemasonry in general , and of itself in particular . " . . . " That there is no institution which the Press , when under skilful aud discreet management , may not be brought to benefit , aud to an extent that few can imagine , except those whose attention has beeu directed to the subject . " . . . "That of all
the establishments , social and charitable , with which-I am acquainted , English Freemasonry is that whose influence ancl prosperity might , in my opinion , be most strengthened and increased by judicious recourse to the conveniences and powers furnished by the art of printing . " . . . After this expression
of sentiment , it cannot create surprise that , in compliance with the request of several zealous brothers , subscribers to the Freemasons ' Magazine , I now reproduce the suggestions which the Rev . John Kingston , Past Provincial Grand Chaplain for . Dorset ,. sent to that publication about the same time ( No ] 300 , April 1 st , 1865 ) , under the title "How
the-Circulation of the Freemasons' Magazine may be increased , " and urge all those desirous of promoting the welfare of our Craft to do all in their power that such suggestions may not continue a dead letter .. 1 . Let each subscriber embrace every suitable opportunity of mentioning the Magazine . I have followed
this course myself , and was greatly surprised to learn that the very existence of such a magazine wasunknown to a great many . 2 . Let brethren be urged to join in subscribing . If three or four were tocombiue in every locality , how insignificant would be the sum required from each . There aredoubtless
, , some who could not afford to take the Magazine except iu . this way . 3 . Let energetic agents be appointed in each important town throughout the United Kingdom and the Colonies who would canvass for subscribers . Surely there are many whose love of our Order is sufficiently strong to urge them
tovolunteer their services in so good a cause . I , for one , am ready to do so . 4 . Small leaflets , setting forth the object , claims , & c , of tlie Magazine , might be supplied to those willing to assist . These leafletsmight be slipped into our letters , and would thusserve to make known our periodical to both initiated and uninitiated . —C . P . COOIEE .
