faithful manner in which they have discharged
their duty.
In regard to the recommendation to the subor-
dinate Divisions to pay 5 cents per Quarter on
each member to aid in raising lecturers fund.
your committee find that no response has been
made, and would therefore recommend the nban-
donment of the measure for the present

think there is no action required by the Grand
Division, as the Subordinate Divisions are, by the

decided improvement, well calculated to inspire
new life into the Order.
