with the transmission of young and Wig
orous blood which IL supplied. there came
such nm accession of strength and vigor
as Co assure the permanency of tho order
in this jurisdiction, for many years to
come, beyond the shadow even of per-
adventure or doubt. And here in pass
ing let me say that in view Of the sudden
and unprecedented birth of this lodge

accomplished and the magnificent method
of it's accomplishment, 1T Is no stretch of
fancy as ! think, that at this time OF
need, but with n most peaceful purpose
and most benehcent object, an ancient
Grocan fable seems TO have been revived,
and, upon simpler provocative than the
sowing of dragons teeth upon wasting
plain, there spontaneously sprung iorth
this crop OF resolutc and armed men. As
soon as duly organized and its staff OF
officers selected, this lodge with an en-
thusiasm that from tho standpoint OF
mature experience, might have appeared
