When elected and installed as Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge, it became
my duty and pleasure to render him all
the assistance in my power. The Bap-
fists soon met in convention at Oxford
and witnessed the work. and as Mr.
Mills was Il Baptist, | presume it was
in part through his influence that Ok
ford was chosen, in order to enlist their
powerful church in his work. At all
events | went before this body and in
addition to making a personal appeal for
aid. which was promptly responded to-
i was granted one Sunday in each year
in every congregation, when collections
were to be taken up for this orphanage
Then | attended the Methodist Confer
ence at Wilson and met with like size
cess. and otner churches followed. When
the Legislature met | secured from that
body an annual contribution of like
amount to that given by the Grand Lodge
of Masons.
Suffice it this noble charity had its
inception in the warm heart and big
brain of orr deceased friend and brother
For years it was literally carried in his
arms. His work is done, the institution
is not only firmly established. but grows
in usefulness daily and popularity.
In Walter Scott's ballad of Bonnie
dundee, when Claverhouse is asked
where he is going, he replied, Il %
whittier leads the ghost of MontrOse." SO
in the days to come when there shall
be temptations and trials for those Who
may have this work in charge when they
shall need brave champions to aid, and
the call to duty may be imperfectly dis.
charged, let the memory of J. H. Mills
still lead on. May his voiceless lips
still speak and his example inspire to
greater courage and lofter ideals. And
may the grateful heart of those who
have enjoyed its benefits ever cheerfully
respond to its appeals for aid and susten-
tation.
