The success of the Order during last
year was grand. That cannot be
disputed, though everything was
done that was possible TO impede its
| progress. Let us make this yearstill
granderS Why not? Let each loGee
begin to cut off all of the dead lifnlA
regardless of who they are--thes0oil-

stumbling stones in the way of pTzl-
gress. You need not think for a i1S-

harm, but to the contrary. Untohl
good will result from it. We need
not think for a moment that peopii

to take in a member on good ground
we must not take them in knowingly
- do not say we are guilty of thos
things, but we have been accused 0
them. If we will only be careful alon,
this line we will sail safely through e.

There may be some persons wh'
would like to visit the Nationa
Grand. We will let you know JUS
how much the cost will be to go an
return from Richmond to Mobil,
Ala. The meeting will be held i
