glad 60 welcome you all our sister knights, the

for one man on one night have been In front of
you quite sufficient / have here a worthy sub
stitute upon whom shall presently call. |
thank you, Brothers of Mizpah Lodge, very
much for the honor you have conferred upon
NE by electinR me Chancellor Commander, |
will endeavor TO do my duty. On behalf of Mlz'
pah Lodge wish also to thank the Rathbone

Remarks by Judge Ray.
Brother Knights, Ladies and Gentlemen: l
would have felt Ia good deal better II you had
called upon me half an hour ago; in fact. it
isn't right to call on me- Here have sat and
ate until the second round in my chair has fall
len to the floor | can't talk to anyone, but as
Brother Duffield has gone ahead and broken the
ice | viii try and skate on it. | can say kind
friends, that only eighteen months ago we could
not have sat down to meal like this in Tono'
pah. In fact, that many months ago | could
have stood on the hillside and counted the tents
on my fingers. A little over eighteen months
ago you could have stood on Mount Oddie in the
afternoon, while the blazing sun was shining
against the western side and heard nothing but
the coo of the turtle dove: or at night, after the
sun had gone, nothing but the screeching of the
coyote But the time has come when we can
hear both-Dufiield and l. But wish TO say one
word while we meet tonight to have a good
time and have plenty TO eat there isone thought
prevailing, the brothery love existing between
US that none but a Knight knows that throb
reaching through each heart that makes us glad
to be here. Our solemn promise is the reason
why you always find knights with the same
look toward each other, and the same thought
wherever we meet. Let us meet in the palace,
let US meet In the prospeetors camp or meet
where we may, we are knights wherever you
find US. Applause
Remarks of Geo. w. Fox.
ians, Rathbone Sisters and Friends; Once and
while 1t has been my opportunity to address
meetings of this nature, and while | would
rather listen to others feel it my duty to res.
pond to the call When the chairman OF the
committee called upon me to speak here tonight
he asked me upon what subject would talk and
| told him ANY old thing" Then he said was
to talk about the ladies and then was sorry /
said ANY old thing" Because, upon the basis
of due compensation for services rendered and
blessings received, mankind in general is under
obligations to woman that we can never repay,
and therefore when am to speak of their many
opportunities embrace them-the opportuni
ties AS the poetsays,
where there is woman in the case
All other things give place
Woman is mans necessity: we cannot get
along without them. They are the source Of all
joy, all life, and all future and present pains.
Their general care protectsus and their prayers
may yet save US. do not hesitate to say that
If it were not for women this world would not
amount to anything anyhow, because, Mr. Mas,
ter of Ceremonies, you and would not be in IT,
Man would be no success with man alone and
observation teaches us that there would have
been long day for Adam had there been no
Eve, You will read In Genesis tina i
the Creator spent whole week In making suns |
and moons and stars and monkeys and angels /
before he attempted TO create a woman and He /
looked upon what he had done and said it IL |
very good and then he took rest. God only |
knows how long the earth took "a rest but He |
rested long enough tc find out that man as a
q wa a ia Inn and
Jaw material so God created q woman, but
here is no record that He rested and there has
been no rest for mankind ever since. God crea.
ed woman out of the rib OF man, and after this
work was finished the woman went back to man.
ook what remained and she has had control of
/ ever since.
The progress Of man was upward But the
'reator did'nt stop at man he created Eve, the
rst woman made to order From the time the
'reator created Eve the first woman Of the Uni
erse, from the time Of the creation of that prl-
leVal specimen Of womanhood, who by a little
irtation under tree in Eden caused Adam To
g discharged from Paradise and turned out on
he cold charities of the world to become

ne spirit of woman has been proyerbially at
ne bottom of every devitry and at the head of
very charity. applause
BY their sympathies they alleviate the nall
suffering, and the pains Of anguish of death
cd bless her. We admire and esteem her
hey know it and reciprocate our love. In all
life's races men run a better race II the pace
set by woman. tApplause)
Ii you are on the road to ambition she will not /
'nse you the remotest delay but show you the
Iortest way to glory. Are you worn and weary
