ruled the point not well taken. Patri-

That the exact name is not material !,
the only important thing is TO have the
record speak SO as 10 indicate The real
person intended 20 be affected by what
ever is to be done. There seems TO be
no doubt but what it was in fact d. F.
Wyatt who made application and was
elected. although his name was present
ed as B +. Wyatt am of the opinion
that the action of the chair
and encampment upon the points
of order raised by Patriarch Vanderpool
was correct, and, therefore, Patriarch
Wyatt was properly admitted. and the
records should be corrected so as 10
show the name Of the admitted pat l.

FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY
Our brotherhood esteems and congrat-
ulates mankind in prosperity, but the
ties: of true friendship Is in adversely.
The late disastrous foundations by which
cities and villages have been submerged,
houses swept away, the savings of years
destroyed and thousands of families rem
dered destitute, call for the fundamental
principles of our order, and l am glad
to hear that much has been accomplish
cd by them throughoutthis jurisdiction
in forwarding aid to the sufferers, to be
dispensed by local authority. On such
occasions as this Odd Fellowship ele-
Yates the character of man and teach
es him the capabilities be
has for good. Another awful story OF
horror comes from southern homes
where tornado, like the floods in the
Ohio valley, has taken everything In its
scape to wilderness, leveling villages
and destroying very many human lives
No appeal, as yet, has been made TO this
grand Jurisdiction, but should such ne
cessity arise l trust il Will meet with the
open hand that characterizes the KanssS
patriarch.
CARNATIONS is making history, to collect
and preserve which should be the duty
of each encampment while the memo
ries of IFS members are accessible, with
the aid of such records as are attainable
/ would recommend that historians bC
appointed in each encampment. so thai
the patriarchs of the next century may
retrace our footprints on the sands o.
