for by a committee composed of Mr.. c.
E. Stanton ard Mr.. j. S. Silva and can
best be described in the words of DR..
Schaeffer who said that it was "a luxu-
rious repast, tastefully and daintily sery-
ed"
Towards the conclusion of the banquet
there were a number of addresses, the
first being by Capt Henry Kolshorn, who
said only a few words, congratulating the
lodge on the prosperity it is enjoying and
comparing the showing made when he
last installed officers, when, he said, there
was barely quorum of members present,
and the present meeting. which showed
that the lodge had gained not only guam
tity, but had secured quality as we'll
Mr.. w. II. Wade. who next spoke, as
sured the lodge of the pleasure that it
gave him to be with its members on this
occasion, as well as on all occasions, and
congratulated them on the fact that the
reports showed that their lodge, too, had
received the same impetus that has char
acterized the whole order throughout the
country recently The present century,
he said, has begun with boom in Odd
Fellowship, so much so, that there have
been several hundred new members adj
ded to the order in this city alone. "On
the threshold of a new century" he con-
tinued, cit is impossible to foresee what
problems and questions may arise affect
ing the gov f'nment. the constitution of
the country, even liberty itself. There
are clouds on the horizon, but If the storm
breaks Odd Fellows will be found taking
their proper part in the struggle for free
DOM and will play no mean part in the
fight"
Mr.. w. c. Mcintyre, another speaker,
said that he could only hope for the lodge
a continuance of the prosperity that had
blessed it during the past year, and that
with the set of officers that had been
chosen and installed he had every reason
to believe that the next term would be
equally successful.
DIR. Schaeffer humorously referred to the
fact that there were so many present to
see him retire from office, which, he said,
was exceptionally complimentary to his
term of office. In his address he congrat-
ulated Mr.. Clancy on his election to the
place of noble grand, which, he said, was
an honor of which any one might well be
proud.
He then made an eloquent exposition of
the principles of the order, end a plea that
Odd Fellows would put aside all selfish
ness and live the life embodied in the
watch words of the order, Friendship, Love
and Truth. The pageantry and ritual OF
the degrees are beautiful but do not in
themselves constitute Odd Fellowship
which to be real must dominate ones be-
ing and be lived out in every day life
