hpegree of Honor.

The Advisory Committee to the
Degree of Honor reported at the Sd
session of the Superior Lodge, re-
Gently convened at Asbury Park,
N. j., that the said Superior Lodge
and said Degree, from numerical,
financial, and fraternal standpoint
are in a most satisfactory condition.
The official report shows that there
are q Grand Lodges, ,057 Subor
dinate Lodges, and AZ ,436 members;
an increase for the year of | Grand
Lodge, 100 Subordinate Lodges and
4 ,401 members. The mem bership
of the Degree of Honor is intensely
loyal to the A. O. e. W., and is
gaining for the Order many new
members, and it should have the
earnest support Of all members Of
the Order. In Nevada there are as
yet only two Degree of Honor
Lodges, but we hope to see many
more established during the coming
year. Carson, Reno and Virginia
City certainly ought to have each
a rousing good Lodge, and they
doubtless will before the new year

~ q. SESSIONS.
The Newly Elected supreme Master
Workman.

The subject of this sketch, Henry
Clay Sessions, who has been Just
elected Supreme Master Workman,
was born in Ionia, Mich, on the 9TH
day OF October, 1914. He is of New
England stock, both of his parents
having been born in the State of
New York After they had both re-
moved to Ionia, Mich, they met
and married. being the first couple
to be thus joined together after the
organization of the county of lonia.
The education of Brother Ses-
sions. like that OF so many other
men who are coming to the front in
every other department of life, was
acquired in the common schools of
the State, with the addition of few
finishing touches in the Agricultural
College at Lansing
In 1864. when he had attained
the age of l9 years, Mr.. Sessions en-
listed in the cavalry army OF his
country's service, and served under
Gen. Phil Sheridan until his dis
charge in 1865, six months after
peace had been declared. On return
ing home he entered the Office of
Wells IL Morse, and later practiced
law in his native county for eight
years, having in the meantime serv-
ed for four years as county clerk.
In July, 1870, Mr. Sessions was
married to Miss Fannie T. Bangs,
daughter of Rev Francis B. Bangs
OF IonIa. Mrs. Sessions died in Jan
uary, 1889, leaving three children
to be cared for. Ia December, 1892,
Mr. Sessions was again married, his
second wife being Miss Margaret NJ.
Lower of Usage, Iowa
In 1888 Mr. Sessions moved to
Brown county, South Dakota, where
he engaged in the double business
of farming and banking Having
had taste of the newspaper busi-
ness IN Michigan, he tiually began
the publication OF a paper in Aber-
deem. Later his paper was chosen
Ms the official organ of the A. O. Y.
W. Order in the South Dakota Ju-
risdiction. In 1897 Mr.. Sessions
moved his paper and his family to
Sioux Falls, where he is now loca-
ted
The history of Brother Sessions
with reference to the A O. L, W.
Order is long and brilliant one,
reaching from Charter Membership
in Ionia. Mich, in 1877, to the posi-
ton OF Supreme Master Workma
in 1898. In 1877, as has been said,
Mr.. Sessions became Charter
Member of Ionia Lodge, No. 33,
Ionia, Mich, from which he entered
the Grand Lodge and was elected
Grand Master Workman of Michi-
gan in 1880, serving two terms in
that 6ffice, elected Representative to
the Supreme Lodge from that State
in 1881 (Detroit), in 1882 (Cin-
cinnati), and in 1888 (Butfalo),
but resigned the latter position be-
cause of removal from the State.
While Grand Master of Michigan,
Brother Sessions completed collect
ion of the yellow fever fund by vol
untary contribution, portion of
which had been left uncollected by
his predecessor Besides this, he
more than doubled the membership
