members , making a grand total of eighty thousand brethren . Of course , this is very far below the mark , but we take the figures in order to simplify the calculation , and to leave a fair margin on the right side . In addition to the regular
Lodges , there are Lodges of Instruction , to many of which we are gratified to know are attached Benevolent Associations doing substantial suit and service to the cause of charity ; whilst in connection with the Royal Arch , the
Mark , and many other sections of tho Craft which may b _ classified under the heading of " the side degrees , " there are agencies at work all tending in the same direction , in the cause of humanity and benevolence . But taking the
very lowest estimate of eighty thousand , aud we find at once that the trifling sum of five shillings each will more than suffice to produce the amount needed to clear the list of the widows , at any rate , who are appealing to us for
sympathy and succour ; and we repeat that the fiftieth anniversary of Her Majesty ' s " happy and glorious " reign is a particularly opportune time for raising such a memento of our loyalty to the Throne , and so splendid a means of conferring a boon and a blessing to the old poor at our gates .
It is by no means imperative , nor is it desirable , as some of our correspondents point out , that a hard and fast line shonld be drawn to limit the subscriptions to so low a figure as five shillings per member . That sum was suggested as
being as near the average as possible to make up the needed fifteen thousand pounds ; taking into account that such a trifling call upon the pockets of the brethren for so special an object would not interfere one whit with their personal
comfort . We should rejoice , and the great body of the Fraternity would be made glad , were the result of an appeal to bring in such a flood of wealth as would enable the managers of all our three Institutions to rid themselves
of all their temporary embarrassments , to relieve all who deserve their help , and to start afresh some new scheme of beneficence and philanthropy . Such a hope , however , is outside and beyond the question now under consideration ;
and , on the principle of doing one thing at a time , we leave this matter of the Old People ' s Special Fund in the hands of our readers , as one great and significant means of celebrating the Royal Jubilee year . We are content to
run the risk of being considered over-sanguine when we predict that our brethren will be disposed to go very far with us in the direction indicated ; and , though the ti me is now very short , there is ample opportunity for every
brother to make up his mind and to decide whether his minimum subscription of five shillings would not be faithfully applied in connection with this scheme . Such a contribution would necessitate no abridgement of personal
enjoyment , no curtailment of those amenities which are amongst the distinguishing characteristics of our fraternal gatherings ; whereas on the other hand the collective result of such an effort would raise a standing memorial of
Masonic love for our Sovereign and of our attachment to the principles of the Craft as has never before been realised . Seldom has the old Scotch proverb " Many a mickle mak' a muckle " been more apposite than on the
present occasion . It is a moment which should be seized to show to the world a repeated proof that when the cry of distress is raised , there is no more eager ear to recognise or hand to relieve , the suppliant appeal—no heart more
swift to ameliorate the sum of human need , and to send a ray of new life and hope into the breasts of the afflicted ones who , having at one time seen " better days , " find it doubly hard to be , in their declining years , compelled to
throw themselves npon the bounty of the Craft . We have every confidence that the suggestion to raise this special Jubilee Fund will meet with a ready and general response at the hands of the brethren everywhere under the benign
influence of the banner of English Freemasonry , and trust that at the nearly approaching Festival , if Bro . Terry is not able to proclaim the complete realisation of our desire , he will at all events be in a position to state that very
decided progress has been made in that direction , and that before the Jubilee day arrives such a result will have been achieved as will redound to the credit of the Craft , and reflect a grand tribute of Masonic loyalty upon the celebration which is to be made in honour of our Queen .

we ] l , and it was gratifying to all assembled to observe that , notwithstanding tho unusual number of candidates , he was fully equal to the occasion . The addresses and working generally wero all admirably done . As a rule , onr Jewish brethren are hearty in whatever they undertake , and iu the Joppa Chapter
are some of tho best workers to be found , amongst l . oyal Arch Masons . Tho Chapter is sincerely to be congratulated upon its sound and prosperous position , and the fact of tho almost unprecedented number of ten candidates presenting themselves for exaltation , with several others coming up at tho next Convocation

widow , convoying to her tbe appreciation in which their late brother was held by the members generally , and their sincere regret at bis removal from amongst them . Bro . M . Silver was always a prominent figure at the banquets of the Jewish Lodges , where his geniality and uniform urbanity gained for him the affection and regard of all
who knew him . At the close of the Chapter the Companions adjourned to banquet , when the customary Loyal and Eoyal Arch toasts were duly honoured . Iu the course of the evening Companion Weigel , responding as an Exaltee , made some interesting allusions to
the differences which exist in tho working of the ritual in America and France ; and a hope was expressed that he would put tho results of his observations iuto some practical form , and deliver a lecture on the subject at no distant date . A very pleasant evening was diversified by some songs .
The weekly convocation of the North London Chapter of Improvement was held at the new quarters , Brother De Sella ' s , Northampton House , St . Pauls Road , Canonbury , on Thursday . Comps .
