You bet you WILL" was the enthusiastic
rejoiner of his hearers.
Grand Master Thomas ]. Shryock, of
Maryland, who has been grand master of
his jurisdiction for twenty-six years, was

Grand Lodge on attaining ''the Masonic
age of manhood" which he said was 100
years.
To Rev. J. Henning Nelms, assistant
