 At 2:30 p. m. 1t was again called to order. and the Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Elizabeth Salter, of Elyton, deliv- cred her annual address. Mrs. Salter's Annual Address. After thanking the Montgomery Chapter l and speaking of the responsibility of the order. Mrs. Salter continued: When you honored me again last year by retaining me in the East the fear and trembling that came over me on March 6, 1901. has not abated, and I returned to my home feeling the great responsibility rest ing upon me and my inability to perform as creditably as should be the many du- ties required of me, and when I think I have been the constant recipient of God s gracious bounty. basking in His glorious sunlight, breathing the fullness of His mercy and tender kindness and how few sheaves I bring, and how imperfect they are, I ask if I have proved unworthy of the important trust, or had an eye single to the welfare and prosperity of our or- der.
 "The grim monster Death has not en- tered our chain of Grand officers, for which We are truly thankful, but many homes of our subordinate chapters havo been entered and loved ones taken to their final home.

order. which you here represent. become as universal as its parent order, Masonry, whose symbolic teachings have ever been those of progress. and whose charity Is as broad as the earth itself.
 Spirit of Fraternity.
 May the relationship between the two orders promote the true spirit Of fraternity, which will finally bring every deserving wife, widow. daugh- ter. mother, and sister, of a Mason in Alabama within our order. May its cooperative influences be exerted in aiding the distressed, until the very name of the Order of the Eastern Star wiIfSbe a synonym for charity, relief ands fraS ternal love.
 'The sentiments we would like our well come to convey are best typified by the vari-colored rays of the Grand Symbol of our Order: May the remembrance of your short sojonrn here be as pleasant as the perfume of the modest violet. May the constancy of our fraternal love be as the pure gold of the yellow jasmine our relations as members. officers and CO., workers for the cause as typically pure as the lily, so that our hope of that glo- rious hereafter in the Supreme Grand Chapter Above may be ever as green as 'Marthas emblem the fern. and the re- suit of your work at this meeting cause us to ever love one another as warmly as fervently as symbolized by the red rose of Electa.
 We wish every member present to feel as perfectly at ease as if this were their own chapter, and when you return to your own firesides, may your visit have been so pleasant that Elizabeth Arm strong Chapter No. 10 will long be re- membered by every chapter here repre- scented. Again bid you welcome"
 Response by Mrs. Miller.
 The response to the address of well come was made by Mrs. Sarah D. Miller of East Lake. She said
 "It Is with mingled feelings of pride. pleasure and regret that I stand before you in behalf of the representatives of our glorious order here assembled to thank you for the gracious and cordial welcome you have extended to us.
 Regret that such an unworthy medium should have been selected to voice sent iments which should be appropriately ex- pressed in beautiful language. But regret Is quickly dispelled by the feeling of pride, that am a part of such a grand body of men and women who are bound together by a chain that shall never be broken till Death shall cause each link to fall apart
 Perhaps few of us fully realize the privilege that Is ours in being members of this beautiful order. What a sweet sense of security it gives us to feel that when sorrow and diversity comes. there are those to whom we can not call in vain for help and comfort. who are ever ready to fulfill the noble teachings of Him
