Like Saul among the prophets,
Past Grand Master Wright stands a
neck and shoulders above the Odd

see to it that he is properly rewarded

unhesitatingly see to it that it is
promptly conferred. But whether
this is done or not done, the Odd
Fellows Hall will forever stand as
a monument of his fidelity and zeal

an honorable citizen of his native
city.
