 The presentation of the banner, which, by the way, was in accordance with a resolution passed at the session of the grand lodge last year to the effect "that banner. to cost not ex- ceeding S25. should be presented to the subordinate lodge which should initiate the largest number of relief fund mem- bers during the year." and which we are proud To state was won by Forrest City lodge No, 329. and, was responded to by Mir Otto Rollwage, on behalf of our home organization, was the occa- sion for feast of reason and flow of soul' to which it is not our privilege to often listen and one which fur nished much qualification and solid en- joyment.
 The following resolutions of thanks were unanimously carried, and on mo- llUu Ol A. T NdDcIlS, WdS luI the city press for publication:
 RESOLUTIONS.
 We, your committee, appointed to draft suitable resolutions of thanks beg leave to submit the following report:
 It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge the hearty welcome, gen erous hospitality and royal entertain ment it has been our privilege to re- ceive and enjoy, so cordially extended to us by Forrest City lodge No. 329 K. and l.. of II. and the citizens of For rest City.
 The hearty welcome, emblaZoned so conspicuDusly in that which first Ohtrudes upon our view upon entering the lodge room; the word so fraught with a meaning most sacred to our hearts, shall ever finger in our memo ries as endearing recOllectiOns more precious than costly pearls in silver shrineS, or richest treasures in caskets of gold. The evergreens ill which the letters of that word have been traced, and that have hung i'll festoons above our heads shall ever symbolize to us, not only the deathleSs immortality of being, but, also the unfailing fel- lowships of which therefore of necessity undylng natures are capable, and above all shall be held by us as em- blematical of that true and endearing friendship which we enjoy and hold here most sacred and sincere, and which we trust to renew forever in that world of fearless sorrow and everlasting union. The bright flowers which have diffused their sweet odors aud seemed to pour gladness in our sociaI intercourse here, we shall re member as a token of that fraternal regard and knightly courtesy, which has been shown us, and we shall cherish iE our hearts a grateful recog milton thereof as sweeter still than all the 1romaS of blooming meadows and fields, The presentation of beautiful boutonlere5 by sister Roll wage shall ever be appreciated by us as a generous expression 0t her personal regard for the grand lodge, for the principles and interests of our noble order, but above all our appreciation shall never be less than the honor she confers upon us. The music which awoke in our hearts delicious sense of it's immeasurable power over human spirits, shall be as a voice of melody to inspire in us that holy love which Is as d bright, glowing spark blown by the breath of angels from sacred fires that flame forever upon the altars of God above.
 We hereby extend to the mayor and the citizens of Forrest City and to the FORREST CITY TIMES. our thanks for their welcome and the offer of thelr bountiful hospitaIitins We have shared during our pleasant stay among them.
 Resolved, moreover, that our thanks are due and are hereby extended to the
