To the L. O. G. r. Conrention:
We, your Committee on the State Of
the order, beg leave to make the follows
ing report
/ That we find from the reports made by delegates
from the various Lodges, that the order generally Is
In a healthy condition. Though few Lodges report Is
large a membership rs at some former Conventions,
all feel That the real live workers left in posses
sion Of all the ground before occupied, and that We
viii surely Triumph. Upon the whole, we find the
membership represented in this Convention TO
amount to 69l members IN good standing
2 That the Cold Water lemplars call fora large
share of our attention as temperance men and wo-
men We believe the future Of the temperance
cause depends very much upon the temperance edu-
cation of the youth Of oar country, and those who
neglect this important duty are drerct in their du.
IL t. themselves and to humanity, and would recon
mend that all questions regarding Cold Water Ten.
pas be referred Bro. Phillip Allen, jr., he has
been appointed General Superintendent of this
work tor the State a. LARGE.
g. We feel some disappointment in not meeting a
fun representation from the whole temperance force
Of iowa County, and would recommend that every
effort be made through correspondence and ysita-
ton; and we especially urge upon our STATE hepu-
tvs Bros. Lkens aud Alien, to yislt all the Lodges
in the county before our next County Convention,
ana urge upon the Lodges the necessity of united
ton aud sending their regular compliment Of dele
gates to the Conventions.
