One hundred and fifty three Divis-
ions have sent in returns up to this
time. Itswilt be seen from she above
table, that the number admitted for
this quarter approaches the number
reported by the G. Sin his lastreport.
For two terms, that number being
832. The number of expuIsions IS
proportionably much lower than in the
last report. These two facts taken to-
gethtsr, indicate prosperity, and from
what | can learn, this is but the COM
Inencement Of prosperity for our
Order. 3 silisl a7.Ta Ias.ga9eE9 9l.I

90 up to this date.
The call made for Donations by the
Grand Division at its last session,
has not been generally responded to,
only twenty one Divisions having thus
far responded to the call, contributing
In the aggregate $56.63. Had all the
Divisions IN the State contributed in
like proportion, the Grand Division
could this year, wipe out all its indebt-
edness. 1t is presumed that more
Donations will be received, and at
least large portion Of the debt be
paii this year. It is very desirable,
that this debt should be paid speedily
as possible, SO that a fund can be
raised for, and appropriated to, the
advancement Of the cause Of Temper

Several Divisions which had ceased
to meet, have made application to be
recognized, some of which are again
atwork. ! have no doubt that when
the new Ritual is published, many
other Divisions will be resuscitated.
From this informal report for the
last quarter, it will, | think, at once
be seen, thatourb beloved Order is pass
ing from under the cloud, and should
this quarter present a proportionable
increase with 1.-The last, we can again
take courage. Fraternally yours,
