The goth Annual Convention was one
of the largest and most successful in
our history. The work accomplished
during the past year has set a high
standard of progress and efficiency. We
are happy TO extend a cordial welcome
to the Department of Connecticut. or
ganlZed Just preceding The Convention.
The Delegates assembled in COnven-
ton conferred upon me the highest
honor within their gift, that of Presi-
dent, and, expressing my heartfelt
thanks Tor the honor, yet II is with
trepidaton that i assume the duties of
that honorable position. I realize my
own lneHciency, but / know that our
members and officers are loyal and en-
thusiastic, and with their assured un-
selfish cooperation and devotion to the
principles of our Order, 1 shall en-
deavor to SO discharge the duties Of the
Office that none may have cause to re-
gret their choice. Our beloved Order
made great progress under my prede-
cessor, and 1t shall be my aim to strive
In every way SO that we may press for
ward in the accomplishment of the
noble and praisewcrthy objects for
which We are banded together. Let
each member resolve to secure at least
one new member during the year, and,
inspired by the thoughts of what could
be accomplished by such doubling of
our membership, all work with re-
newed vigor and zeal to fulfill that
laudable resolution. I believe it can be
done, and even tho the goal be not
reached. yet the effort will not be lost,
and we shall all be the better for hav-
ing set our aims high.
Again I thank one and all for the
great honor bestowed, and pledge my
best endeavors for our noble Order and
the principles for which it stands II
