lie meetings, and urge upon them to
have at least one during the summer, as
suggested by the Grand Worthy Patri-
arch.
End. That the Grand Worthy Patri-
arch proceed, as soon as possible, to ap-
point some suitable person, in each coun-
ty of the State where we have no Divis-
ions, to carry out his suggestions in es-
tablishing our order in counties where
we have no Divisions.

uty Grand Worthy Patriarchs the i'm
portance of prompt and regular quarterly
reports To our Grand Worthy Patriarch.

after quarter, fail or neglect to make a
report. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
