The following by e. L. Ihorp, was read
at the tenth anniversary Of Malwaukie
Lodge I. @. G. II. Oregon:
One day more and the old year will have
fled gone with it's sorrows and it's Joys.
nassed away with the same noisless tread
that other years before it have made sacred
by their silence. But one day more and it
will have glided into the irretrievable past,
following footsteps Of its predecessors.
1T is well, it is fitting, that our ~anniver-
sary of organization comes at this time, a
time when the hearts of all are open with
charity and beneyolence toward their fell
low creatures. a time when all petty griev-
ance: are laid aside and joy and thanksgiv-
ing peryade every heart, awakening within
usnew regrets for the deeds OF the year I'M
done, when false hope enWreathed with
blossoms and garlands shut out the golden
sun Of action and allure us to temptation
with its gilded arts. Let us rejoice over our
prosperity, rejoice for our hundred years of
independence, rejoice for the blessings that
we are free from the alurements and snares
of the tempter here in our temperance
home, and rejoice that we are here to cele-
brate this, the tenth anniversary Of our
freedom and independence Of intoxication
and intemperance, and rejoice for the priv
ilege Of being allowed to meet together to
make new resolves for the coming year, re-
solves, ifmade with o determination and a
firm reliance on a higher power than Il
own, will prove blessings, such as none may
Know but the earnest seeker and believer in
truth and temperance.
Sorrow comes to many homes an unbid-

loyful mIen into the happy home circle and
rays MS icy fingers upon the noblest and
iaiiest. They fall with the prayers of their
fMotners falling OH their unheeding ears,
ofe tears of their wives and sisters
moving silently, grieving for their fall with
al the heartful sorrow of loving ones who
siieVe Ger their untimeiy loss. But a star
y rising on the horizon, q star shining for
all Its lustre far surpasses the fairest rem

aau soon will its retulgent light spread DER
~ ahu we shall bask in IFS rays. Blessed
