his remarks he said
May our order become stronger and we all
wiser and better for the ordeal we have passed
through which has been full of unusual occur

clearly proved the evil effects of one-man
power from continuation i'll Office WINE lnls

opposed to a life-lease of any office. - 10 err Is
human, to forgive divine" This order can be
made second to none, with officers VINO VIII
take an interest and devote the time It absolute
ly requires. To be the Grand CounclIor OF th1s
and perform the duty talthfully re-
quires much time and attention. There Is much
for Grand Councillor to do who Is jealous
worker and will take an interest in the work.
Chosen Friends, this is a great and good work
we have enlisted in, and if we prove true TO the
trust confided, and discharge the duties taken
upon ourselves with confidence in our abilities,
as we should, the time is not far distant when we
will realize the many good things in store for u.s.
Still, grand as our cause, good as our WORK;
noble as our order may be, fidelity OF heart ana
brotherly kindness should prevail in our deIlb-

best means for its maintenance. prosperity ana
usefulness that its good deeds and blessings
may be performed and bestowed wherever Its
banner may be unfurled.
Let us remember the cause in which we are
interested, that it is the welfare of the widow
and the orphan then we can realize 1t is the
noblest work God has allotted TO man.
From the various reports, as well as from my
own observation, am pleased to record steady

nine Councils the past year, and a total mem
