The action of the Grand Lodge in Of

will no doubt be of great benefit to
the order in this domain. as is evil
denced by the number of lodges that

tering the competition. There is good
material in all of the lodges for this
work, and as each team must be COM
posed exclusively of members OF the
lodges competing, it is thought that
much needed development along this
