their due,
Such brothers as Bacon, McGinnis and
True.
And we always shall count it a streak OF
good luck,
Tuck.
There is one from abroad whom I would
not forget,
AS loyal mason as any you've met.
We patiently wait Lamoille County re-
turns,
That will give to US Hon. Senator Stearns.
Now lest I forget, though you've all found
it out.
(The denomination of Congressman
Grout).
We desire to join with you, in what you
enjoy,
The success of an Orleans County boy,
In the stirring times of '61 with our coun-
try's flag unfurled,
And freedoms motto, freemen heralded to
the world,
The rebel hordes defed the right of free
dom's righteous claim,
Some boys of our Green Mountain State
proved worthy Of their name.
Brave Sedgwick touched the key note with
orders to his men,
ssPIace Vermonter's in the front and close
the ranks ur then"
On History's page their valorous deeds
will never be effaced,
And acts of our Green Mountain Boys are
ever proudly traced.
The valor shown by fathers in the strife
of 81,
Is shown by sons of '9s in victorys they
have won.
While old Vermont as proudly boasts of
heroes of today,
And nations honor loyal sons for courage
they display.
AS a son of old Vermont. I can now with
pride relate,
The reason that we honor this portion of
our State.
For we gladly rehearse and remember with
pride,
The deeds of those men who have suffered
and died.
For the cause which we loved, and their
glory will shine,
Like the flag which they saved, with a
glory OIVlHe.
Their loyal hearts were then, as now, true
to every test,
For tried by fire in battles din, they were
among the rest.
Of our beloved Green Mountain boys with
faces to the foe,
To conquer or to perish, as their records
all viii show.
The Grand Lodge records certify that Or
leans Fifty-fve,
First saw the light in 81 and amazidgly it
thrived.
The cause it's charter championed was
worthy Of the strife,
Which prompted worthy brothers to bring
it into life.
Among the sturdy yeoman the benefits
We're known,
Which Orleans 30 declared, and claimed
them as its own.
The principles which governed them who
met upon the square,
The worthiest 'mong Green Mountain boys
are goverded everywhere.
A retrospective glance affords chance for
contemplation,
Since Barton men and Barton boys of
every generation,
Have proved by practice things we note,
the doctrines which they preach,
And principles e1emplifed, the principles
they teach.
A Mason's heart and Masons hand in har-
mony unite,
To advocate and cherish the precepts,
which are right.
That God who guides the nation in peace
fulness or strife,
pilot US in life.
Then may our hearts and hands resign in
humble conservation,
To Him we trust to guide and bless the
welfare Of our nation,
Today will mark an era in the record which
for time,
Will stimulate to better deeds and greater
love incline.
The hall which now we dedicate to Virtue
andGood Will,
Will prove benediction and fondest hopes
fulfill.
Mar Peace and Joy with Love long reign
within the peaceful walls,
While Truth and Justice rule supreme
within the tempted halls.
Let only tenets we profess direct in word
or deed,
Then shall the Wisdom we employ make
Orleans Lodge succeed.
Piles! Piles! Itching Piles.
