Following the installation the audience
were favored with a most beautiful ad.
dress by Grand Orator Rev. 5. E. Busser,
of Topeka, who spoke OH the subject of
'Masonic Manhood" going back to the
very beginning OF the order. giving first a
complete history and then dwelling upon
the grand results of Masonry and its effect
upon mankind. Referring to the remark
frequently made by outside parties that all
MasOns were not angels, MIR. Busser said
he admitted that once in whilea .'black
sheep" found his way into the Order. but,
said he. ''ther is one glorious truth, no
Mason ever goes to the bad ignOrantly."
The lessons taught in the journey from
the ''cradle to the grave'' must ever re-
main fresh in the memory of man. He
remembers his obligations and reaps the
joys and pleasures resulting, or he does
the opposite and suffers lasting remOrse.
The address was much enjoyed by all. and
the wish expressed by many that they
might again be favored by this eloquent
speaker.
At the conclusion of this address Messrs.
LAUDER, Garland, Clampett and Hard sang
"a Welcome Meeting," especially suited
to the occasion, and were followed by Miss
Lucy Baird, who recited the very beauti-
full and appropriate poem, ''We meet upon
the level, and part upon the square," in Il
noble and perfect manner, being greeted
with a hearty and prolonged applause.
Miss Baird has rare Evolutionary powers
and never fails to please an audience.
At the conclusion of the exercises Bro.
j. Il. Whitelaw, in neat and purely Or
iginal way, on behalf of st. Bernard Lodge
presented Worshipful Master Willett with
an elegant jewel emblematic of the Or
der. Mr.. Willett was taken completely
by surprise, and could only respond by
giving his heartfelt thanks FOR this most
handsome recognition.
The banquet at the DelmOnicO was one
of MIR. Heinz best efforts. The tables
were we'll supplied with both substantials
and delicacies, and each plate adorned
with lovely and costly embossed menu
folder. On the large mirrors on either

in keeping time to the delightful music
furnished by Beeson's orchestra, while
