Tho Division Commander. Albert C. Blais-
dell, Boston, in Order makes some remarks
which are particularly fitting at this time.
when so many of the brothers are ont of work,
and the tendency is for them to drop their mein-
bershlp In Camps on account of the expense.
HE Commander says: Captains of Camps for
the current year are now entering upon the dis
charge of new duties, and are reminded to ever
keep before them the obligation assumed at
their installation and to act in accordance
Herewith. A personal examination of the
books of the Camp should be made, and every
effort tried to regain the members lost by sus-
pension. See to it that no brother loses his in
terest. and that suspensions are made only when
1t becomes absolutely necessary and all other
means, fail Wedo not mean by this that men,
beers should be carried who are in arrears, but
that personal effort, personal solicitation, and
knowledge Of the circumstances should be
known before suspension takes place.

Horace N. Lowry, Division Commander,
Reading, in Division Order /, says: Union
Defenders Day, Feb. IL, shoud not pass un-
Division. The S0th birthday anniversary of
Abraham Lincoln should be to us "our day"
ss one OF celebration. Union Defenders
Day" should be made particularly appropriate
by Us, for when the great war President called
for volunteers. Pennsylvania was the first State
to have its soldiers in Washington in defense of
the Capital. AS our fathers were first in the
front, so let rs be equally jealous and sincere in
Observance of Union Defenders Dsv, in per.
petnating the memory not only Of the martyTed
head of this Nation. but the deeds and history
of the brave defenders of the Union. All Camps
are urged to fifty celebrate the occasion with
exercises appropriate to their circumstances
and conditions. An open Campfire, patriotic
services aud ceremonies Of like nature are
recommended. Camps should at once appoint
committees to arrange appropriate exercises
and program.
The brothers OF Speer Orr Camp, II, Johns.
Town, are at work preparing for the coming
Division Encampmeni, and the arrangements
are on an extensive scale. Nothing will be left
undone to make his one of the most successful
as well as enthusiastic Encampments in the
history OF the Division. A feature of much
qualification will be the unvailne of the mon
ument TO Past Commander in Chief Arnold, on
June 8, and ii is expected that 1900 uniformed
members will be in line on that occasion.
The Monument Commission expects TO have
Commander-in-Chief MacCabe and many other
distinguished COmmandery- n- Chief officers aud
staff members in attendance on that OCCASION
as well as all the Past Division Commanders
and many other prominent members of Penn
syivania Division and other Divisions The
arrangements thus far completed by the Monu.
