the length of which precludes its present pub
ltcation in the APPEAL he grand master,
r. Fauset, has done himself credit by the eX-
cellent character of this address, which Is
quite prehenSiVe in scope and interesting
throughout. Among other things, Grand

OF our alterations will prove that we have
been mindful of our duties toward God, each
other and our telOw-creatures. he year just
clos d. like those preceding, since our order
was organized, has been Q .entiul in our his
tory and pregnant In Its influences and
teachings upon our welfare. We COM
merced the year, a. never before, with 4. G.
NJ composed of brethren from various parts
of our common country, the north, the south
the east the west, each had its representative,
and the interest and well-hting of each was
looked after, not, ii is true, in q sectional
manner, but as the parts of great whole,
whose interests were bound and firmly held
together for common purposes and results,
and we feel glad that we can say that never
since we have been identified with the 8 G. NJ.
in any relationship, have the duties deVolv-
ing upon that body been so critically attended
to. In word, the experiment, judging by the
present year, has proved decided success,

result is so satisfs ctOry that it would partake
OF retrOgreSston to return 10 the old PLAN"
