The report Of the G.. w Treasurer, Sister

that the confidence had been well-bestowed.

ments promptly made.
A very pleasant event transpired on the
evening of the first day of the session, in
the meeting of the Grand Lodge with the
Gem of the Mountain Lodge. It was one of
those rare and enjoyable occasions which
come not to every person, and to the fortu-
nate participant is seldom repeated. The
large room was filled. The father, mother,
daughter and son, the bachelor and maiden
of every rank, were there as Brothers and
Sisters enjoying each others presence. The
soldier and citizen from a distance were in
PRODUCED and made to feel that they were
welcome. 1t was not such ameeting as is
held by the " Giant Club,' on the opposite
side'of the street. 1T was a better one. They
were truly an army Of co-workers in a cause
Of love and fellowship, who could enjoy the
feast Of reason and flow Of soul,'' without
the banefnl influence of the wine-cup. An
interesting feature of the evenings exer-
cises was the statements by the several rep
resentativcs of the condition of their respect
i've lodges. Each representative, when
called upon, had a good word to say for his
W lodge, and each apparently thought his
lodge the best. 1t was IL O'Clock, p. M,
when the meeting closed, having inflated
eight candidates.
In the morning session Of the second day,
the Grand Lodge did considerable business.
A resolution was adopted. recommending a
change in the subordinate elections and e.
tending the term of office to six months.

may hereafter be organized the Nos. which

resentative seemed to love the. present mum
Der of his lodge, and although all desired to
remedy the defect, none appeared willing to
have. a new lodge take a number below that
of their respectivd lodge.
A resolution was finally carried, renum
