Ancient Order of United worIsmcn
On the evening of September 29 Omaha
lodge No. Is formally took possession of its
| new lodge rooms, and upon that occasion
]. ]. II. Reedy, o. G., delivered the address
| of congratulation. His remarks were ap-
| propriate and interesting. In the course
| OF his address he said:
Our lodge is to be heartily congratulated
| on its growth and success; the standing and
ability OF its large membership; the un-
swerving loyalty of its founders and the
continuance of its faithful adherents; its
timely and its many tokens of mission
wisely wrought out The history of its acts
and priceless deeds remains unwritten in
any ono volume, but the record of its VIC
teries is engraved on living memories. Those
who planned and those who enjoy the re-
suits of that methodical system rejoice over
the outcome OF fruitful self-denial.
The special subject of rejoicing tonight
is in the fact that our surroundings will
bring us all into closer touch with each
other In pleasant hall, removed from many
things distasteful or even deleterous in
their influences, The environments here will
be more healthy, because more in harmony
with the laudable ambition to use the best
facilities for concourse, with freedom in
the exercise OF functions.
THE impulse to cater to the higher stand
ard which education brings in it's train must
be followed; hence our lodge has done wisely
In making the change from quarters in
which the underlying current OF force for
good work and attendance was hampered by
forbidding elements of unrest. There was
unanimity in the selection OF the new hall
in which to meet. May the same oneness
characterize our converse together under
The good OF the order, and in every depart
ment Of our lodge doings."

politics only when secret society orders are
threatened, Its avowod object during the

posed to fraternal institutions and insurance
