Lodge, F. and A. NJ, by the Most Worshipful

ably impressive by the departure from the

charges, privilege allowed only to Grand
Master. New meanings were brought out by
the conscious faith of the eloquent speaker in
the noblest precepts of this ancient brother

truthfuly administered. All listening felt the

ing toward night. Thursday brought bolster
Gus, all-day snowstorm; and Friday was fine
day-"almost too fine, for the season." as a
neighbor exclaimed-but Saturday gave us a
driving, easterly rainstorm, which made the
travelling exceedingly bad. Sunday opened
the present week with sunshine and moderate
temperature, which suddenly fell toward night,
until Monday presented thermometers regis
tering 12e below zero-one of the very cold
est days of the winter. No wonder children
and adults alike are enduring annoying attacks
of colds resembling grip.
