Delightful task, to rear the tender
thought, and teach the young idea how
to shoot"
The response was, for the greater
part, tribute to the Jordan lodge. Mr..
Breeze spoke of it's accomplishments
since its establishment, and explained
what the grand lodge really is. I'VE
have accomplished much he cOnclud-
ed. "At one time our order was looked

outside of the church, we stand fore
most in peace on earth and good will

of utility. But we find the greatest
/ utility in the sentiment. Idea is above
/ all. For a hundred years past we have
! been sneered at, we have been called
q nation of money makers. Our one
! aim, they say, lies in the boarding of
wealth. Our country recently plunged

with the order of Odd Fellows. 1t has

that we stand foremost, outside of the
church. in a great principle. Aye, it is
( true And 1 will step over that-we
stands inside the church in principle.
! There is no greater sentiment than that
Of this order, Friendship, Love, Truth
and Charity" In concluding, Mr.
Brown said the subordinate lodge in
this nation has been a school from
which representatives Of all positions
/ have come.
The Sojourning Brother" was D. j.

called away from the city to one of his
/ mines. In the course of his remarks,

done more to accomplish the mission OF

John James responded to 1.-The
! Press The archimedean lever that
moves the world he said, 1.-The most
/ pronounced and remarkable source Of
! intelligence ever known, is the public

! been the means of civiliZing masses Of
men" The speaker lauded the press Of

Christensen's probably has never wit
last evening, when the ladies of the
Mutual Improvement association and
! their escorts assembled to pay respect
to Mrs A. Freeze and Mrs. Mary P.

on the stage. An excellent programme
was carried out, and lemonade was
served by a bevy of beautiful young
! ladies. The stage was a mass Of flow
ers, in fact, the hall never presented a
prettier appearance.
