Because we have kept so quiet
Is no sign that we re asleep,
Remember the old, wise saying,
It's still water that runs deep.
There was none who sung our praises
Or reported every deed,
But Salem Council twenty six twenty
twO'
Is going to try to be in the lead
The candidates will DE coming in
On every meeting night;
And as their numbers, will be great
1t will make a pleasing sight.
Now the winners of the prizes
Wen be proud to let you know,
They n work hard to gain the members
And make our order grow.
Knight Gregory will do a worthy deed
He will add eight or ten to our list;
And we will place him in our lead
We can not fail to mention too,
What Lady Barnes has done
Her efforts met with great success;
A fine gold watch she won.
Not all for praise or prizes
Win we lend helping hand
Because the Knights and Ladies are
The best order in the land.
Our president knight Englebart,
Has set tne pace (it ism { very slow)
For keeping busy" is his motto;
And that S the way we grow.
No stormy weather intcrferes
No hardships keep him back
If ther's a member to be gained,
He's soon upon his track.
Excuses ne'er discourage him;
II arguments they try,
He sweeps them easily aside
Then plainly. shows them why
The X. and L. of S. are best,
And proves there 's no mistake
In joining sucn an order,
And good insurance take.
We're bound to build,
We are sure to grow,
And every time succeed,
Our Officers fiji well their chairs
No duty do they shirk,
Aud each committee does his part
They wade right into work.
The team goes through the drill so well,
They always win applause
Captain Knight Walton gets the credit,
For they obey his laws.
Our entertainments DO so wen
That we can not complain;
Should failure come we never mind,
But only "try again..
When lodge duties are all over
We do not separate,
But have good old social time
Until the hour is late.
The Knights and ladies have in store
a genuine good treat;
There is music, cards or dancing
Or something good TO eat.
Now when the State Convention meets,
Right here in old Salem
Then Knight Englebart for delegate,
VIII be the chosen man,
To represent our council here,
Aud ne viii do his part
And Knight Contrara IS alternate
Our welfare has at heart.
Should you doubt our httlo story,
Just come and prove il true.
We meet every two weeks
Salem Council twenty six twenty two.
