Silurian Lodge Glee club sang several
selections, David jenkins rendered a

Past Grand Master w. Gaylord
Thomas. Past Grand Master Pierce
and Past Grand Patriarch Edward c.

Mr.. Thomas address was an able
effort in behalf of the life of an able
man. He said that Mr.. Nicholson was
giant among men in every sense of
the word. He measured up to the
highest type of elevated manhood. De-
ceased entered into the work in Penn
sylvania in 1853 having been initiated
into the order in 1915. Thus he was
for over tifty-sN years an Odd Fell
low In 1869 he was elected secretary
of the grand lodge. which office he
held up to the time of his death.
There was no man in the order bet
ter qualified than he was in the teach
ings and principles of Odd Fellowship.
His reputation was not confined to
Pennsylvania alone. but as far as Odd
Fellowship extends his influence is
felt. No man was ever more loved,
esteemed and respected and no de-
rarture will be more regretted than
that of James b. Nicholson. He was
a splendid specimen of man, morally
and mentally.

worthy tribute to the deceased in
whose honor the meeting was held.

twenty-five years and he felt that he
shared with all Odd Fellows a sense
of personal bereavement in the loss of
Mr.. Nicholson. All had lost a true
friend and the order a wise counsellor.
He gave Il beautiful word picture of
the relationship Of man to man and
spoke with an earnestneSS that be-
tokened a deep regard for the princi-
pies of the order. He said that a
great procession of a million men are
marching to the silent tomb and we
should all so live that we shall enter
into immortality. and so live that we
leave an impress on other lives.
The closing address was made by
General Edward c. Deans, past grand
patriarch and representative to the
sovereign grand lodge. He dwelt more
particularly on the accomplishments Of
the order and its founders, naming
Mr.. Nicholson as one of the architects
and builders of the order in PennSyl-
