Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.

Committee have not hitherto felt themselves justified in taking- any stops towards obtaining a building for tho purpose , feeling that the funds of tho Institution were not in a position that would enable them properly to cany out such a design . It is now , however , felt that the time has arrived when thoy may fairly make an effort to ^ obtain tho necessary funds . And I am now most anxious to draw your attention , and through you that ofthe Brethren absent on the present occasion , to the great importance of endeavouring to extend tho influence and operations ofthe Institution ( hear , hear ) . In doing so , I maybe allowed to how to of

say glad I am see so many you present this evening , as it . evidences to me the interest you take in the subject , and makes me hope that the time is not far distant when the Institution will be conducting its operations in a properly-appointed and convenient school-house ( cheers ) . Whenever that day arrives , I am certain that I am not wrong in expressing my conviction that the Institution will not only bo increased in usefulness , but that it will be increased in popularity with the Craft ( cheers ) . I was happy to observe that amongst the children introduced to me there was only one who looked at all delicate or in ill-health ; butgratifing as that circumstance isI cannot

, y , but feel that the advantages offered by a school-house would be of inestimable value to the children , not only as regards their education , but as respects their health , comfort , and general welfare ( cheers ) . When we consider the extent and importance of our body , and the various casualties to which we , in common with ah mankind , are subjected , I am sure I need not ask you whether we are not justified in increasing the usefulness of the institutions connected with the Craft , and in giving our best support to the erection of a school-house for the boys ( cheers ) . I am sure that I need not longer detain you on this subject , and thereforehoping that you will this evening show how deepl value

, y you , the proposed alterations and improvements in the constitution of the Institution , I will now ask you cordially to join with me in drinking " Prosperity to the Boyal Masonic Institution for Boys " ( loud and long-continued cheers ) . The M . W . CHAIRMAN had now to propose a toast , which he was sure would be most cordially responded to . They woulcl all acknowledge that they were

under deep obligations to the Auditors for the anxious care and attention thoy bestowed on the investigation of the accounts , and to the Committee for the general management of the affairs of the Institution , and -more especially for the manner in which they had devoted themselves to the task of considering and maturing the proposed alterations in its constitution . In bringing this toast before them , he must be allowed to say , that there was one Brother to whom they were the more particularly indebted , not only for the attention he gave to the affairs of this Institution , but the deep interest which he always took . in every matter appertaining to Freemasonry ; and it was but due to that

Brother to state , that whatever advantages might be derived from the Boys ' Institution in future , would he mainly owing to the intelligence , exertions , and ability of their esteemed Brother , Rowland Gardner Alston , whose health he had the pleasure of proposing in connection with the Auditors and the members of the Committee of the Institution ( cheers ) . Br . E . GAKDINEB ALSTON coulcl scai-cely have expected that his name should have been so kindly mentioned in connection with the toast just drunk ; and in acknowledging it , he had great pleasure at having the opportunity of expressing his gratification at the proceedings of the evening . He hacl always felt the

deepest interest in the prosperity ofthe Boys' School , and hacl devoted a great deal of attention to it , with a view of promoting and increasing its efficiency . He trusted that he might be ere long repaid for all his exertions by the gratification of seeing the boys assembled together in a suitable building , where the whole could be brought under efficient and proper control ; and when that time arrived , he was sure that there was no member of the Committee who would look back with regret at the trouble he had taken to insure so desirable an object ( cheers ) . He had no doubt that the School would be built , and that then all that had been anticipated from it would be realizedand mark a new ancl

, bright epoch in the history of the Institution ( cheers ) . Shoidd it please God to prolong his life , and endue him with health , until the completion of the Institution , he should feel that he had not lived in vain ; and he was sure that it _ would be always most gratifying to him that he would be enabled to reflect with pride on the support he had given it ( cheers ) .
