mens as follows, and all will concur we are sure,
in his remarks:
~ would add that in addition to these remarks
of Miss Barton that my remark was similar. L
said, you remember. that there was peculiar fta-
teruity amongst the c. C. and Guards not existing
in any other similar organization. We seem to be
drawn more closely together. Rev. Lemon made
remarks in n similar strain to q group of the boys
that there was in peculiar fraternity, our close
and warm friendship a wide field for the extension
OF our purposes and objects beyond the scope oil
other Orders.
"McMurray observed the same things, md spoke
somewhat as did There must he something in
it, when wise heads such we'uns all see the same
spirit of organizaiions uniqueness. its peculiar
fraternity and splendid objects not noticeable In
other similar organizations. Furthermore, we are
not confined to sex or age. This Is worth note"
