President Wolf responded, feelingly alluding

and he received the medal as a memento of the
love OF one association for the other, and they

chain OF friendship which binds them than for

Though distance separated them when at their
homes, yet they were near and dear to each
other. He hoped that each association felt that
they had been benefited by these reunions and
as these mementoes of friendship served 10
strengthen the chain of friendship that other as
sociations would emulate them, being convinced
that such occasions as this had good effect on
the communities of which they were members
