quested Mr.. Schramm to step forward.
Glenn mainly tried to push his father
S. S. Schramm, or George V. Schramm
forward but these substitutes were not
satisfactory. Mr.. Beardsley was armed
with large square package, Ma
sonic dictionary and a wooden mace.
His speech in substance was as fol-
lows.
number of your Masonic friends
have prepared a little souvenir of this
occasion and have requested me, as
master of Weber lodge, to present it.
l do not know of a more pleasing
duty than of speaking words of cheer
and good will to lifelong friend. but
l do know OF good many who could
perform that duty in more creditable
manner than myself.
Hence l feel that l can do no better
than to quote an old Masonic term,
which was applied to those who were
held in high esteem by the craft. Many
of these old Masonic terms have be-
come current upon the streets, but it
is not generally known that the ex-
preston You are a brick" was also
of Masonic origin; but 1 find in Nor
ris' Dictionary of Free Masonry the
following:
"Babylonian Brick-This term was
humorously applied to a thorough Ma
son, well tried, true and trusty, up
to his part in every degree, prompt in
lodge attendance, laIge-hearted and
strong-handed; obedient and submits
sive to rule: generous and courteous.
The analogy, as the same denotes, is
to the bricks Of which the great Baby
lon was built-very large and finely
proportioned, each one being stamped
with the signet of a king"
So you see 1 have abundant author
ity when 1 say to you in the name of
a brick" (applause); yes, Baby
lonian brick (applause), for we feel
that you are all that those words i'm
ply, and to emphasize them we present
to you a miniature copy of a Baby
lonian brick.
We trust that you may use this
brick in the construction of that COM
mercial edifice you are about to build
in another city, which we hope, as
the years go by, may prove haven
of rest and protection to you and
yours. This is our wish, and while we
shall miss you from our midst, we
feel that Salt Lake City will be better
off for having another ogden citizen.
At this point Mr.. Beardsly struck
the brick with the mace, shattering It
to bits, and causing a glittering some
thing to tumble from it's center. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Beardsly said
AS you see this brick is hollow and
contains a past masters jewel, upon
which is engraved, F. c. Schramm,'
and on the back, Presented by His
Masonic Friends of Ogden, Utah, Feb.
o, 1897, followed by the Latin inscrip-
ton, In hoe necessarium.' I don't
know just what this is, but 1 think it
ought to mean God speed and with
the very best wishes from us ALL
(Hearty applauSe.)
Mr.. Schramm said he had been as
sured that no speeches were to be
made on this occasion, and he was not
prepared to deviate from the pro-
gramme. However, he though his
friend Beardsly knew what he was do
ing. He ought to know what the
Latin words lin hoe" mean. and prob
ably did. Il find it very hard indeed
to leave Ogden. know a great many
people in Salt Lake already, and 1
expect to know great many more,
but it does not seem as though 1 can
ever feel toward Salt Lake as l do
toward Ogden. I shall continue to
think OF this city as my home
= AS Mr.. Schramm concluded with a
few feeling words of thanks, Felix
Rheinbold dispelled formality with the
solemn adjuration, Always remember
that this is the shortest route across
the continent
