 Brothers:-In the name of friend ship charity and belevolenece, greet ing.
 The munificence of your grateful &C., knowledgment of our attentions to your brother, which secured to us but the fulfillment of the ordinary obligations of our fraternal VOW. has become matter of pleased astonishment, not only to us. its recipients, but to all who have learned of your action.
 For when it was known before this occasion that a lodge should send Reputation of its honored members to travel far from their homes, out of their own State. across the territory of another commonwealth, into a city of yet another State, to stand as her aids in that distant Castle Hall, there to deliver a beautifully prepared and still more beautifully worded message of fraternal gratitude.
 The Journey involved no little time Azu NA hn ma In which your heralds performed their duty showed that they felt the chiv- alric nature of their mission. They stood before us as worthy exemplars of true Pythian Knighthood. and We re- cognize, alike in the hearts that con- oeived this exquisitely courteous thought, the hands and brains that put 1t into fitting shape, and the noble mes sengers that bore it to its destination; {; those sublime characteristics which prove them worthy to bear the un- stained shield and golden spurs of those who sit in council with the King. Photographers define the name of 'Halcyon" as meaning "Steadfast, Calm and Happy" And this illustrious ac- ton of your lodge has shown that be- lyond all question the noble band of brothers who assemble in your Castle Hall are we'll deserving of the name they bear.
 steadfast-In that they have proved themselves possessed of that
 "Fidelity, that neither bribe nor threat Can swerve or warp, and gratitude for And trivial favors, lasting as the life. And glistening. even in the dying eye" Calm-To undisturbedly pursue "A generous purpose to a golden end. !"
 Happy-In that they spared nor time nor labor, nor their wealth, to give to other hearts some precious hours of gladness.
 For he is happiest who devotes himself To crown his brothers with the diadem
 of joy"
 Hail, happy Halcyon brothers, true
 and tried,
 Algier's bright ornament, Louisiana's
 pride,
 Loyal unto friendship, rich in gratitude, Champions of Charity, with Benevo-
 lence endued
 Youthful in your vigor, but in wisdom Often shall the story of thy deeds be Never shall thy mem'ry in our hearts
 grow cold.
