On Friday evening of last week Divi-
sion No. 4, this city, held it's last meeting
| in the present year. What a succession
of pleasure it has been to the brothers
who have attended those 'twenty~four
meetings of 1896. Let the roll of honor
be called and the names of the faithful
ones published to the world. They have
won the crown for regularity of attend
ance. They have been the beacon light
| of the division-holding out the star of
hope and example to the Indifferent
brother, as he passed down the street,
! unnlindful of the warm hearts that
yearned for his company in the division
room.
| The members of No 4 may be poor in
| pocket, but they are rich in the milk OF
human kindness Their love for each
other is as boundless as the ocean, and
when life's fitful fever ends, the grandest
eulogy that can be spoken at their bier,
will be these words of Pope: "They
were the noblest work of God"
The election of officers and committees
was completed. Brother John Blake was
chosen marshal for the ensuing year:
visiting committee, Philip Gleason, Fl. F
Breen, aJmes Murphy; literary commit
tee, c. E. Cockran; Fl. e. Hoy, Henry
Grogan; finance committee, w. D. Ellis,
w. ]. Connolly All are ready for the
work of the new year, and we trust that
nothing will be left undone to make the
division blossom Ike rose. Let each
member bend to the work before him
with the right will and energy and there
will be no doubt Of the result. Cultivate
true Christian charity, and let the demon
of vindictiveness remain outside the divi-
sion. Keep in mind this proverb:
'tWhatever brawls disturb the street, let
us have peace at home
Died.-On Saturday last, the infant son
of Brother Blake, at I'll Lyndale avenue
north. Interment at st. Mary's.

prospects for the future. We have two
new members for initiation at next meet
ing. 1t is more than probable that {
ladies' auxiliary will be established here
