senting to you some testimonial which
will prove to you their sincerity
AS we look back over the fifteen
years of your faithful services, the
older members will remember that
there is a marked difference between
the council of today and fifteen years
ago; and it is to you, and to the mem
bers of the "Old Guard" if | may be
permitted to use the term, that our
new members must be thankful, and
in due time reward them accordingly.

members that a little effort on the
different committees and offices to
