Any member of Jersey City Lodge
would have thought that his lodge was
moving out in the country it he had
boarded a Pennsylvania Railroad train
leaving Jersey City ON Thursday after
noon There was the genial Bob McDon-
aid, with his wardrobe under his arm Ga
pair OF slippers), handsome Brother Lee
With fine bouquet THAT was TO be pre-
sented to him in the evening" in his
hand; Brother Lawson. with mis- patent
bib. engrossed in front with the words,
"Our Pet Boy; Coghill, the pet of the
ladies, music in the left hand corner of
his hat; Forty-niner Kent, who looked
ike professor of music, with his roll
strapped on his back and dressed in his
square top" and way down in the corner
little Cropsey. with a brand new hat
and trunk--aIi of them bound west to do
a turn for the boys.
The practice of P. G. Is accepting tine
position of G. G. In lodge aud then re-
slgnlng about mouth or six weeks be-
fore the end of the term for no other rea-
son than that of electing a brother who
has served as vice chancellor and for
some reason was not elected at the begin
ming OF the term to the C. c., is PRACTISE
that works greatly against the welfare
OF the lodge, and the slim attendance at
some OF our lodge meetings may be traced
directly to this reason. On the chancellor,
commander and his offices depend the
success of the lodge. With poor officers
in the chairs no brother cares to set the
Sc ssion through. The meeting is sure to
be tame and not satisfactory to the mem
bers. Nothing advances a lodge SO much
as the election of men to fill the official
chairs who are bright and intelligent and
who are conversant with the laws OF the
order asd have the power to properly con-
troll the meetings. It the brothers elect
men to the G. C. chair to give them the
honor of being styled p. G. simply be-
cause he is u jolly good fellow and not
for his ability, then they must expect
that there will be no well ATTENDED meet
ings of their lodge. Brothers, see to it
for the next term that no member is
placed in any chair who cannot be adj
vanced to the G. C.'s chair in creditable
manner
