was commended for Jealous work as
the president of association in connec
ton with the degree work especially.
With reference to participation in
the erection of the Masonic Memorial
TO George Washington in Alexandra,
Va. Grand Commander Simpson said,
in part, as follows:
"A two days sojourn in our sister city
and participation in the deliberations of
the convention have impressed me with
the conviction that this Grand Com
mandery should be in line with our Grand
Lodge and Grand Chapter and be a mem
Der of the association. and | recommend
that appropriation be made for that
purpose.
"A mistaken idea of the ultimate OBJ
| iect of this association seemed to be pre-
va.ent among some of our grand juris-
dictions. when the primary and controls
ing idea is to provide a safe and secure
depository for the priceless Masonic
relics now the individual property of
our Alexandria brethren.
"A conservative value of these relics
was stated to be between sl,J6o.OU and
$2.uD.0G0. and it was stated that an offer
approximatins those amounts Lad been
received from one of our large Masonic
jurisdictions if j sale would be made.
"A personal and Masonic pride forbade
the parting with these mementos. and
the belief that the great Masonic fratern-
ity OF this country would desire these
treas dear to the hearts of ALL
should be securely protected both from
fire and theft. has induced our brethren
of the lodge in which our fllustr1ous
brother held his membership to appeal to
the craft at large Tor subscriptions to
build this memorial. Considerable prog
ress has already been made, and with
the added impetus of the official partici-
pations of grand chapters and grand COM
manderies. the success OF the undertake
ing seems to be assured

OF employment overlooked by
thousands of intelligent boys.
