 Brothers-I greet you as the rep resentatives of the different lodges in this Jurisdiction who have been chosen by your brothers to meet here and near the officers who were elected one year ago give an account of their stewart ship, so that you may decide whether they have performed the duties as- signed them in a satisfactory manner, to make arrangements for the manage ment of the home for the ensuing year and elect officers to carry out those plans.
 Superintendent and Matron.
 Probably no other brother {unless he be resident of the home) has a better opportunity than the president 10 know. how much Brother Woodward and his good wife do, and how well they do it. at the home They seem to be especially fitted for that kind of business, and the experience that they have had has qualified them so that they are able to manage the affairs of the home in such a manner that not only the residents, but every brothSr and sister in this Jurisdiction who has the interest of the home at heart should be thankful to know that their brothers and sisters are being cared for by those who take such an interest in them.

 There has been as good an attend ance at the meetings as could be ex- pected, the same interest seems to pre- vail that has in years past You will better understand the amount Of work that has been accomplished when you hear the chairmen of the different committees read the reports.
