CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE
By the Knights TempIar Ia Honor Of
Most Eminent Grand Master
Stoddard.

Precisely at noon yesterday, &c
cording to the variations Of time
the thoughts Of more than 10000
Knights Templar, scattere
throughout the English speaking
world, we're turned towards Bryan
the home Of Gen. III. B. Stoddard
most eminent grand master OF the
Knights Templar grand encamp'
ment, and all those who had the
opportunity united in the observ-
ance of the beautiful custom among
Templars of proposing a sentimen,
TO the grand master.
The sentiment proposed this year
by the committee on Christmas OBJ
servance was as follows: $40 our
Most Eminent Grand Master,
Henry Bates stoddard: May our
order under his sway become the
noblest champion of the Christian
virtues" Gen. Stoddard's re-
Spouse was: "Sir knights: May
each 40 live and act that we may
exemplify the teachings Of the
Blessed Emmanuel" 1t was the
privilege Of members Of Ivanhoe
Commandery, Of Bryan, TO bear
the sentiment proposed and the
response in the presence Of the
most eminent grand master in the
Masonic lodge room at noon yes
terdAy. Eminent Commander Sir
Sam r. Henderson was master of
ceremonies and the ceremony was
appropriately observed and much
enjoyed by those who had the good
fortune 10 be present.
Other appropriate sentiments
were proposed, including toasts to
state grand officers and others.
Eminent Commander Henderson
proposed a toast 10 Col. NJ. +.
Mott and asked Gen. Stoddard to
respond. The latter did so in a
feeling tribute to Col. Mott as a
man, and to his work in behalf Of
the Masonic Widows and Orphans
home.
A telegram was sent to Sir
Knight T. j. Garrett, Of Calvert,
formerly eminen, commander Of
