Graham. These officers then des-
cended from the platform to the
stone and placed themselves
around it according to the Masonic
ritual.
After the cement had been spread
on the lower stone, the Grand
Master directed the upper stone to
be lowered to its place which was
done at three separate intervals
and at each stoppage the brothers
gaF the grand honors.
When the stone was properly ad-
justed the Grand Master pointed
the cement upon the edges of the
stone and the usual ritual was pro-
ceeded with until the tools were
returned to the architect, after
which another ode was sung by the
choir.
Grand Master Allen then intro
duced Hon. Paul Neumann, the
orator of the day, who delivered
the following eloquent grafton:
The Grafton.
MosT WoRsHIPFUL GRAND MASTER,
YOUR MAJESTY, BRoTHERsAND La |
DIES AND GENTLEMEN
This is the era Of terseness. We de-
sire to waste no time and that which is !
10 be said on any occasion must be said |
briefly, provided that brevity does not |
detract from the solemnity of the occa- |
sion or mar the purport OF the speech.
The paragraphist on the newspaper |
epitomizes the information which he |
gives US, that We may CLEAN without
waste of time what is necessary or inter- |
Aesting to know of the happenings of the |
pay, and he is appreciated. The speaker
vi the day who says that which he is
called upon to say without waste of
words OR time deserves also appreciation
and praise.
Let me then, in accepting the honor of
addressing this goodly assemblage, make
up by the brevity Of the discourse for
other.defects.
Not only to the members of the Ha-
walian Lodge of Masons, but to our fel-
low citizens, this ceremony is of interest.
With this ceremony is inaugurated fur
ther advancement of our town as well as
9 manltestion OF the prosperity of our
order and our Lodge On the 18th
day OF January, in the year of
our Lord 1852, over forty wears AGO.
