MEETING OF JoNADABs.
Hope Council, Independent Order
Listens to Addresses.

A meeting of Hope Council. I. o. S. of
j.. was held Thursday evening in Pythan
Temple. The business Of the meeting was
transacted quickly and before 0 o'clock
the council inaugurated "the good of the
order" exercises, over which P. ]. Mac
Manus was requested to act as chairman.
Upon assuming the chair Mr.. MacManus
said he was glad to see so many familiar
faces and to witness the earnestness and
enthusiasm of such faithful adherents of
the cause. He dwelt upon the contrast
between the Independent Order Sons of
Jonadabs and other societies in regard to
| the principles of the order.
I'm various other societies. said Mr..
| MacManus, Il noticed an utter disregard
| of the motto of the organization, but since
became associated with the Jonadabs
| have been highly edited with the conduct
| of the members toward each other. The
principle of unity, love and peace in the
Independent Order Of Sons Of Jonadab is
a reality. and herein lies our strength and
the good name we enjoy. People know
we are true to our order and its motto and
| that we must necessarily be true to our
selves and to one another. May that
spirit of brotherly love which is our guild
| ing star and honest pride always illumi-
nate our relations one with another to
bring happiness sunshine and peace
among us!'

Having cited several incidents to prove

Spellman concluded: II love the Jonadab
order and all it stands for. 1t has been
my guide and my salvation, my refuge

woman can bestow the full plenitude of
| love, but as far man is capable of low
| ing, love the Jonadabs.'

| gerald was called upon for remarks. The

! that to his own personal knowledge he

large number of men temperate and of
building up a splendid juvenile order. Mr..
Fitzgerald gave a practical address. illus
trating the same with typical examples of
| the ruin and desolation that results from
intemperance. He told of what he had
seen in his travels and said that there is
| only one grand salvation for those who
mean we'll and that is temperance order.
