BILE day in the history of events of
the Young Mems Institute and par
ticularly OF Mackin Council. On that
day the great West End council re-
ceived twenty-seven candidates into
full membership. Considering that
the preceding initiation was less than
four months ago, this is a remarka-
BILE increase and shows that Presi-
dent Frank Adams and the members
have not been idle. All the candidates
and many members of Mackin re-
ceived holy communion at st. An
thongs church at 1880 o'clock in
the morning, the large number pre-
senting sight most edifying. The
lnitiatory work took place in the
afternoon at the club house on
Twenty-sixth street, and was con-
Quoted by the Kentucky jurisdiction
degree team, under the lead of
Robert T. Burke, Thomas d. Clines,
DR.. J. A. Casper and Ben Sandman.

such a large increase and happily
welcomed the new members. He in
