GRAND MASTER lsHAM's ADDRESS.
Another year has passed since we were
last assembled together in Grand Lodge.
and VIC have reason to be thankful to the
great and Supreme Grand Master of the
universe that we have been spared to meet
again under so favorable circumstances for
the purpose of mutual counsel in the great
work which we have most solemnly pledged
ourselves to perform and to ask for the
continuance of His care and protection in
future, and that we may all be able to give
new light and energy to the service of car
rying forward the principles of our order.
The progress of the order in the state has
been very encouraging during the past year.
IT our increase of numbers has not been
as large as we could wish, yet many of our
lodges have been successful in establishing
themselves on permanent and sure foun-
dation which will insure them success and
influence in the future.
DIsPENsATIoN.
A dispcnsation has been granted for
new Lodge and an Ancient Lodge restored,
and one has surrendered its charter. The
new lodge at Factory Point is prospecting,
having "a members. The old Vermont
Lodge, at Montpelier, has been revived,
and they are progressing well. Queen
City Lodge, at Burlington, surrendered its
charter in May.
HE SONDlIlON.
The subordinate lodges are generally in
healthy condition. The reports of the
District Deputies give good report of the
several lodges under their care.
Caledonia Lodge, at st. Johnsbury, has
1853 members and is one of the best work.
ing lodges in the state, and in the enjoy
ment of peace and prosperity.
The lodge at Vergennes is in feeble con-
dition, having done no work the last year,
but with little energy and determination
they could sustain a good lodge.
Stark Lodge, at Bennington, during the
past year have fitted up a new hall at an
expense of some four hundred dollars and
are working tremendously.
Lake Dunmore Lodge at Mddlebury
seems to take great interest in the Order
and careful in the material which they add
to their numbers.
Mortified Lodge, No. 10, has more than
doubled its numbers. They are in pros
porous condition and are fitting up new
hall.
Netis Lodge, No. 25, at Poultncy, is in
flourishing condition and a spirited interest
is manifested in the work of the order and
the work is well done.
Phoenix Lodge, No. 20, East Dorset, is
reported as in prosperous condition.
Killington Lodge, No. 90, of Rutland, is
comparatively new Lodge, but the enter
prise of its members has made it the most
successful one in the state. The beautiful
hall in which you are now convened will
convince you better than | can tell you of
the zeal and interest of the brethren in
Rutland in Oddfellowship.
Centre Lodge, No. 3, at Chester is live
institution and steadily improving their
work in the order.
CA. Miles Lodge, No. 81, at st. Adams,
is steadily pushing on in the work of odd
fellowship, their work is well done, and
their funds arc in good condition.
Pico Lodge, No. "a. They struggle
along and hope that by the spread of the
principles of the institution prosperity may
yet attend their labOrs in the cause Of
friendship, love and truth,
