WHEN THE TERMS ARE OVER.

Past officers of lodges, generally, are
inclined to imagine that their usefulness
S ended when they retire with full
honors bestowed upon them by their
brethren. In fact at such times their
experience is much needed. 1t Is just
the opportune time when they can make
their usefulness most felt. Every brother
cannot make a perfect presiding officer.
although he may be elevated TO office
by his friends in lodge.
1t should be pleasure to any past
grand to aid and support the new Of
fcers in any little point in which, per-
haps, they may not be proficient. In
stead of absenting themselves from their
lodge room under the impression that
they have nothing more TO do in Odd
Fellowship, their brethren have placed
their names upon the roll of honor and
it is for them to ascend still higher
and take their place among the patri-
archs of the order.
They cannot do this by stunning their
lodge and their brothers at this june
ture. 1t should not happen that their
interest in their lodge suddenly lags
after they have attained the honors IL
is pleased to bestow upon them. Their
interest should continue and grow
stronger as they advance in the order.
Odd Fellowship with its noble history,
sublime principles. and lofty purpose.
deserves your aid. some energy put
forth. and all the strength and power
at your command
