/ -. ~ess~~s~ W toPPc0 rt AhStSe We re-
commend that the &. w. Il. charge his do
putics to visit every Subordinate Division
which has failed to make returns fol-, two
quarters aud If such Divisions cannot be re.
yived and put in working order, TO receive
their charters, books money and property,
and report the same to the G. w. p, who
shall thereupon order the G. S. to strike such
Divisions from the roll Of Divisions compos-
ing the G. ID. as.,a AZ
They rejoice to hear Of the success of breth-
rcn McCully, Elliott and Towers in organizing
new Divisions, they hope their success will
stimulate others to similar efforts.
1t is gratifying to know that SO MANY Of
ID. 6. w. Ps. have made reports it is the
beginning Of greater usefulness by them.
The committee agree with the g. w. p. that
a ID. q. w. Z. may constitute new Division
out of the particular locality for which he is
appointed. This locality is only an as
signed field of labor, and if he chooses to la
Dor beyond it, it is all right and proper; his
authority extends throughout the State.
The committee concur with the G.. w. p.
in hoping that brother d. G. w. P. Austin
will carry out his purpose Of frequently visi-
ting all the Divisions in Greenville District.
They hope all others will initiate his highly
iaudable example. ,-.- .-.. :,
The distribution Of tracts is great and de-
sirable means of difusing temperance. The
committee recommend to Subordinate Divis-
ions to raise monthly sum by contributions
for this purpose. 5..,...''...r.... ....,... ..
1t is to be regretted that our self-sacirfc-
ing lecturer has been so little called for
He has been and still is ready to meet the
calls of his brethren in every part of the
State. Those who desire his services must

pay the postage and furnish him with the
means of reaching them free Of expense
either by Railroad or other means of trans
portation., S.. ..-......
Every Division ought to supply them
selves with the new Ritual. Failing to do
so is q great evidence Of ;nattention to their
true interests for their is no doubt it i'm
parts beauty and interest to the ecremo-
nies of the Order far beyond that of the old
Ritual.
The Committee regret that the war-worn
sheet, the Temperance Advocate, has ceased
forever; this regret is much diminished by
the establishment of the South Carolina Tenn
perance Standard. ... So. ....-.-... ~.
The Committee concur with the G.. w. p.
in the propriety Of calling upon the ministers
of the Gospel to aid us in the great work of
Temperance and Prohibition.
The COmmittec are pleased with the ac-
ton of the National Division in all respects.
They believe that the admission OF and
above 10, of ladies as visitors, the institution
OF Degrees, and the next meeting of the Ma
ton Division at Charleston on the first
Wednesday in June, 1855, will contribute
greatly to the benefit of the Order in this
State. F~~ '@.

call for action from us, the committee re-
