Then followed the beautiful, impress
sive and ancient service of dedica-
ton.
At the banquet which followed S.
H. Alban made the principal address
on Masonic Fellowship" This was
followed by a social evening which
lasted until late into the night. An
artistic bridge had been constructed
between the rear of the Temple and
Castle hall and in the latter place,
those who so desired tripped the 'light
fantastic" This ended one of the
greatest events in Wausaus history.
Mr.. Albers gave incidents and
names concerning this history of For
est Lodge, which every one agreed
should be reduced to writing and
placed in the archives, that future
generations of the order might know
more fully its history so far as it con-
Germs Wausau. Mr.. Albers drew on
his memory for the facts not having
had the time to do otherwise. 1t was
a part of the program for Past Mast
ers' night of 1918, very unexpected
and was highly appreciated by the 200
or more Masons resent.
S. B. Tobey spoke eloquently upon
members of Forest Lodge who had en-
tered the U. S. Army, many of whom

The principal address of the eve
ming was made by Leonard E. Black
nler of the Wisconsin University Ex-
tension, of this city. 1t was eloquent,
giving his idea as to what was before
the Masonic order in the work of re-
construction following the great world
war,--in commercial, religion, educa-
:tion and in other lines, there was 60
ing to be a new order of things
Mr.. Blackmer was roundly applaud
ed at the close of mis- masterful ad-
dress, showing that he had touched a
responsive chord in each one pres
