THE TRIUMPH OF HEART.
With the donation from Brooklin
! Lodge 2SS came a letter, which exhibited
! the true nobility of our Order, and the
/ triumph Of heart over the prejudices OF
mind.
/ In the first place, in responding to the
appeal OF our southern brethren, all the
/ charity fund on hand was unanimously
I donated-next the supper money was
| unanimously turned from its course and
put into the fund, and then the individual
donations began, and in the language
Of the Master, was glorious sight. He
says:
hOh, Bro. Gouley, it would have done
YOUR heart good to have been in our
Lodge on the night of the llth, when
more donations were made, and seen the
unity Of action. There met the soldiers
Of both armies of the past war, and
around our 9 EnmOn altar, both trying
to excel eaS al3ther in their acts Of char
ity towards the poor and distressed. All
difference OF the past buried and for
gotten, as though such things had never
.re5fn. The total contributions amounted

% ASCENSION DAY u-sT. LOUIS COM
MANDERY.
As we write it has been determined by
st. Louis COmmandery to celebrate, BY
its fourth annual parade, Ascension Day,
which occurs on the 30th of May.
1t has been its custom, heretofore, to
unite a sumptuOus banquet with the
othes ~tivities, but, on account of the
suffN Ing condition of our companions in
other states, it has been determined to
appropriate to their relief the funds
which such banquet would cost, and the
Sir Knights will go prepared to make
their contributions.
