A CORRECTION . To the Editor of the" Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — Will you kindly allow me space to correct an error which appeared in the list of subscriptions you inserted in your last number .
It is there made to appear that part of the subscriptions brought in by General Brownrigg , C . B ., belonged to the Province of Suffolk ; it should have been from his Province of Surrey which worked so zealously to support his presidency .
I have received further subscriptions as under : — Bro . T . D . Birch ( No . 1365 ) , £ 52 ios . ; Bro . A . Clark ( No . 1227 ) , £ 10 ios . additional , making * his list £ iSg in all j Bro . C . Tudway ( 592 ) , £ 5 5 s . additional ; and sundry small sums , making the total to date £ 13 , 141 ios ., and eight lists yet to come in .
Thanking you for your courtesy , I am , yours fraternally and obliged , J . TERRY , Secretary . Office , No . 4 , Freemasons' Hall , London , W . C , 7 th March , 1 S 83 .
OUR CHARITIES . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — Out of your to-day ' s issue 1 call the following from certain remarks anent the Boys' School : " Many wealthy lodges give their subscription of one
guinea , some few two guineas , and the great majority , from want of thought let us hope , do not subscribe at all . " By refraining to comment on the latter part of this sentence I may probably do more good than writing a letter of eight pages ; my object now is to suggest that in these days of revision an edict should emanate from Grand Lodge
making it incumbent upon every lodge to subscribe £ 2 2 s . and every chapter £ 1 is . annually to each of our three noble Institutions . Surely , there is not a lodge or chapter that could not afford annually £ 6 6 s . and £$ 3 s . respectively in addition to their grand and provincial grand lodge dues ? Surely , there is not a brother to be found who
would raise his voice in any way against my suggestion ? This idea if carried out could not possibly interfere with the splendid contributions that are regularly coming in . Sec what a glorious permanent income our "Charities" would have to depend on . I trust some brother better qualified
than myself to approach the proper quarter may champion my theory , and cause to be put into practice that which would bring about a grand result from a very small source . —Yours truly and fraternally , , J . W . P . SALMON , P . M . 163 , March 3 rd . P . P . G . D . C . East Lane .
THE GRAND LODGE OF IRELAND . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — My esteemed and usually well-informed brother , James II . Neilson , of Dublin , is in error in saying that Mother Kilwinning is still a provincial grand lodge . It is not so . Mother Kilwinning stands at the head of the roll
of lodges holding of the Grand Lodge of Scotland . Its master is "ipso facto" Provincial Grand Master of Ayr- shire . The lodge itself is not in any respect a provincial grand lodge . Bro . Neilson should renew his acquaintance with my " History of Freemasonry , " published in 1873 . — Ever truly yours , D . MURRAY LYON , Grand Secretary .

OUR CHARITIES . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — Out of your to-day ' s issue 1 call the following from certain remarks anent the Boys' School : " Many wealthy lodges give their subscription of one
guinea , some few two guineas , and the great majority , from want of thought let us hope , do not subscribe at all . " By refraining to comment on the latter part of this sentence I may probably do more good than writing a letter of eight pages ; my object now is to suggest that in these days of revision an edict should emanate from Grand Lodge
making it incumbent upon every lodge to subscribe £ 2 2 s . and every chapter £ 1 is . annually to each of our three noble Institutions . Surely , there is not a lodge or chapter that could not afford annually £ 6 6 s . and £$ 3 s . respectively in addition to their grand and provincial grand lodge dues ? Surely , there is not a brother to be found who
would raise his voice in any way against my suggestion ? This idea if carried out could not possibly interfere with the splendid contributions that are regularly coming in . Sec what a glorious permanent income our "Charities" would have to depend on . I trust some brother better qualified
than myself to approach the proper quarter may champion my theory , and cause to be put into practice that which would bring about a grand result from a very small source . —Yours truly and fraternally , , J . W . P . SALMON , P . M . 163 , March 3 rd . P . P . G . D . C . East Lane .
THE GRAND LODGE OF IRELAND . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — My esteemed and usually well-informed brother , James II . Neilson , of Dublin , is in error in saying that Mother Kilwinning is still a provincial grand lodge . It is not so . Mother Kilwinning stands at the head of the roll
of lodges holding of the Grand Lodge of Scotland . Its master is "ipso facto" Provincial Grand Master of Ayr- shire . The lodge itself is not in any respect a provincial grand lodge . Bro . Neilson should renew his acquaintance with my " History of Freemasonry , " published in 1873 . — Ever truly yours , D . MURRAY LYON , Grand Secretary .
