hy the committee , ifc ivould soon take a very high place in the estimation of the brethren . Though the institution Avhich he represented Avas the youngest of the three , he looked upon it as no less important than the schools ; believing that nothing could more appeal to their feelings than an institution for the relief of Aged Masons and their WidoAvs . ( Cheers . ) He Avas happy to announce

that the D . Grand Master , the Right Hon . the Earl de Grey and Ripon , had consented to take the chair at the festival in January next , Avhen he trusted the majority of the brethren present Avould -attend to do honour to his lordship , and support so excellent a charity . ( Cheers . ) Bro . PATTEN , P . G . S . B ., Secretary of the Girls' School , felt , after the observations of Bro . Farnfield , thafc nothing remained for him to do but tender his thanks for the support Avhich had ever been

given to the Girls' School , the committee of which , as Bro . Farnfield had stated , Avas considering the best means of extending the accommodation so as to provide for 100 girls instead of 80 as at present . ( Applause ) . Bro . BINCKES , Secretary of theBoy's School , said , as the Secretaries of the other Charities hacl addressed them in response to the toasfc just given from the chair , it Avould be ungracious on his part if he

did not , lioivever hastily and imperfectly at that late hour of the evening , add a feAV Avords of thanks on behalf of the Charity ivith ivhich he AVUS officially connected ; that he desired to clo most cordially . Amongst brethren so well informed as to the merits , claims , and particulars of their various noble Charitable Institutions , ifc Avould be useless for him to seek to occupy their time by entering into details or statistics regarding them . He hoped , IIOAVever , they Avould bear ivith him a feiv moments whilst he attempted to place their Charities before them in a neiv lighfc—one , hoivever , as ifc appearred to him , peculiarly appropriate at a festival of this

nature . In . their lectures , and other sources of instruction , there ivere many beautiful illustrations which might often be made available on occasions of this kind . To-night , he would draw their attention to a very familiar one—nofc pausing to elaborate the idea ivhich ivould occupy too much time—that viz ., of the three columns of AVisdom , Strength , and Beauty . Ornamental supports as these were to the Masonic structure , they should take care that they ivere preserved from decay . Let AVisdom , the generally accredited

attribute of maturity , find its representative in the Institution for Aged Freemasons and their widows ; let Strength , tbe possession of Avhich Avas fitly associated with the youth of the sterner sex , be figured by fche Boy's School ; and surely ifc ivould . be allowed that Beauty hacl its apt embodiment in our School for Female Children . Be it the care of the brethren , therefore , thafc Wisdom should nofc " cry aloud in the streets , and raise its voice in vain ; " that Strength shall be fostered and nourished to enable ifc to ivage

successfully the " battle of life ; " ancl that Beauty should be protected and maintained in all its freshness and attractiveness , and jealously guarded from danger ; and by the continued support rendered to their noble Charitable Institutions , let the sincerity of their Masonic professions be manifested to the outer world . ( Cheers . ) The AV . M . then gave "The Officers of the Lodge , " thanking them for their services , and the able manner in which they had worked the sections that evening .

Bro . MARTIN , AV . M . No . 7 , replied , ancl stated that the brethren felthighlygratinedtbat their services hadbeenacknoAA'ledged , feeling that Freemasonry never coulcl be properly understood and appreciated without the zealous co-operation of the members of Lodges of Instruction .
