The Committee ON the State Of the Order
beg leave to report, that the only document
strictly relating TO the subject committed to
them, is the Annual Report of the Grand
Scribe, which they take pleasure in saying,
is so full and clear, as to supersede any
thing in the shape of lengthy report at
their hands. In accordance with the usual
custom of this body that document will, f,
doubtless, be published along with the min
utes Of this Session, and will thus show at
once, to all concerned, our true condition

mittee deem at all necessary, is to point out
a fewof the way marks, that seem to them
to indicate the pathway Of future prosperity,
success, and usefulness, in our own chosen
field of good s0iLL to man - and these we
will Gmbody in the following resolutions,
which we recommend for adoption by this
Grand Di ision,

mainly the character, energy, and power of
accomplishment of the former.

accomplished, we also hereby record our
determination to maintain similar policy
in time TO come.
R'sOtDed, 8 That the grand result, at
which the highest well being of this and our
/ Subordinate Divisions requires them still
more Immediately to aim, is the total prohi.
bition Of the manufacture and sale OF intox-
icating beverages, by legal enactment
Il adapted to that end.
/ ResoIUed, A. That ne ther in the struggle
throug h which we have just passed, for this
most blessed cOnsummatiOn. nor in the 'e-
suit, can we find any thing to discourage the
friends of Temper anCe, but every thing to
embolden and nerve US all for mightier eff
forts-to attain a speedy and complete vic
tory over every foe.
Il ReSoLUed, 5. That as Sons of Temperance
Il we pledge ourselves anew, never to cease
our endeavors for the total prohibition of the

tory shall perch upon our banner, or death
shall call us hence
