 the lodges, especially the fraterual or
 ders He said that one had said the holding of the Grand Lodges costs
 about $40,000 a year He spoke of this being a large sum of money, but the influence of the orders and tae good that these orders are dOine is worth more than that dare say th-t | we spend more than Sl ,000,000 to S2.- 000,00G d year for Grand Lodge ses- sions, but look at the effect it has. It teahces thenegro how to have respect for law and order, teaches him obedi- enee love and honor He made a very effective talk and was applauded from time to time.
