IS the baby lodge of this jurisdiction. For
the assistance which Brother Jackson rem
orTed to them they thought they could not
show their appreciation in better manner.
To say that Brother Jackson WAS surprised
would be drawing it very mild, and when he

pletely broke down, and Brother P. C. David
Thompson had to do the handsome for him.
Leader Lodge is starting out well, and the
