ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the call FOR the grand master. Brother
w. Ross Southwark Brother Ross
Is Justly popular In the order. Odd
Fellows naturally love him and are
proud to honor him as their leauer
His address appertained to the
larger affairs of the order which are
just now falling heavily upon the du-
ties of his administration. There was
not a man In the hall whose heart
did not leap to the support of their
grand master as he detailed the ar
duous and trying labors now pressing
upon his attention. Every one was
impressed with the diligent activities
OF the head OF the grand lodge when
he announced that he had made more
visitations during his administration
than there had been week days since
his induction into office. Brother
Southwark is making history for the
order, and II his term could be pro-
longed a few more years, a great bless
ing would rebound to Odd Fellowship
In Virginia.
Splendid was the climax to this
great meeting OF Odd Fellows when
Brother George B. Davis, of Rich
mond lodge. No, 4, past grand patri-
arch OF Virginia. arose and. with deep
emotion. expressed his devotion and
fidelity to the grand master In his en-
deavors for the Advancement of Odd
Fellowship. Brother Davis has passed
on the other eide OF life's merid an,
and his head liz white with years, but
his heart 10 young, and his intellect
Is active and mature. What n beauti.
full spectacle II IL to see this grand
old pillar of the order. whose fraters
hapn lnn1 efnra wmQA ha rt<

brace the lamp of frateraalism to

perh old gentleman OF the order OF
Odd Fellows May he see many an
other new year so that the order
may continue to be blessed by his stay
among US.
