 Hon. George II. Grimm, of Fort Smith, worthy president of the State Aerie, was then introduced and in his response said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen and Brother
 Eagles :-
 "As l am before you il becomes my pleasure to say few words of ap- preciation of the many good things Pine Bluff Aerio No 209 and the good citizens of Pine Bluff have promised us during our stay in your mos; beautiful city. It has always been said that when it comes to entertain ing conventions Pine Bluff has no su- perior, for the latch string is always on the outside. As l see the hand Of good fellowship extended if reminds me of true sagleism as we SC it in every day fife There is q loftier am- bItlon than merely 10 stand high in the world; ii is to stoop and lift man kind a little higher There is nobler character than that which is merely incofruptible; it is the character which acts as an antidote and preyen- t1on Of corruption. Fearless to speak the word which bear witness 10 right eoesness and Truth and Purity. pa tiently 10 do the deeds which strength en virtues and llindle hope in your felloW-man. generously 10 lend a hand to those who are trying to climb upward faithfully to give your sup port and your personal help to the eff forts which are making to elevate and purify the social life of the world Eagleism teaches that We should never take unfair advantage of a Bro thef Eagle in business matters and never to let him suffer loss of any kind if We can prevent.

To it's sacred cause the master minds of ages have reached the summit of himan great ness, for ill Eagleism you value your Liberty, the same right to every other man to think his thoughts. to love his life, 10 love his country and to Wor- ship his God as you ask for yourself. Now then, where there is Liberty there must be Truth For without Truth, Liberty could not long en- l dure; for mans honor and a na- ton rest upon the integrity of a promise. In all your dealings with your felloWmen be truthful and be careful what you promise Let your word be of the kind once spoken each ill it's integrity. Think before you promise and promise only what you intend to do We claim one of the 1 finest trails of manly character is Justice. Ii each one of us shows this spirit of fairness toward every other man we shall be united by ties SC far-reaching and powerful and influ- ence that membership in this fra ternity will more and more be held a l privilege We hold that we shal
