lodge. He spoke at some length upon the
workings OF the order and showed that II
was tablished for the broad and potent
principle of love for the brethren. The
order started, he said, with ten men, but has
grown to over 100, 900. The speaker also
showed the advantages of becoming a mem
Der Of the A. o. G. W. aud expressed the
wish that many would add their names to
the twenty-five already belonging to the

A uuartette, Sailing" was next sung ty
Messrs. H. z. Minor, /. S. Bocher, Oscar Day
and j. A. Ramp. Miss Beidi' Lucas gave
with clear enunciation a recitation, which

Where the Lilies Bloom so FAIR which was
highly appreciated by the audience.
Brother Nordin assistant secretary of state)
was the next speaker, and reused the whole
audience to merriment with his jokes and
funny anecdotes. He, like brother Lawton,
spoke of the advantages accruing to members
of the order, and in the course of a long ad-
dress he delivered a scathing philippe upon
the superstition passing for religion which
condemns benevolent institu ions which
open their proceedings and close them with
an invocation to the Great Gver of all
good. Mr.. Wigus sang my Dads Dinner
PAIL" which was immensely applauded.
Miss Minnie Lawton gave a recita-

audience applauded to the echo. Mr.. R.

sang very pleasingIy "Why did They dig Ny
ave so Deep" and Garry Me Back to Old
Virginia." and Mrs. Bauer gave two very
brilliant piano recitals, which closed the in
tcllectual part of the proceedings. And then

pleasing, the serving of r;freshments in the
usual hospitable and munifcent style of the
West side-cOffee and tea, sandwiches, cake

design, with the lodge name and number in
the center, were served to each guest, and
