YEARS WORK REVIEWED
The grand master made an Interestinge
report Of the activities OF the past year
The following quotations are taken from
his report
Il am very sorry to be compelled 70
report that we have two lodges that are
not very active. Ocean Wave, No. 43
and Globe. No 40 1t * necessary that
they must receive special attention | am
extremely proud 10 be able 10 report that
all Of our lodges with the exception OF the
two above named are very active and are
doing fine work
The closing year has been prosperous.
Nay appeal Ia each and every Odd Eel
low in the jurisdiction of Delaware To
give Odd Fellowship more time and
thought than he has ever dorc before In
doing So, our path will he beset with
profitable opportunities. While making
my official visits | have found that the
members who are faithful in attending our
regular meetings are now putting forth a
great effort toward encouraging better
attendance bv those Who have lost In
tcrcst during the past abnormal times
In making my official visits To the re
spective subordinate lodges in this juris-
diction / have endeavored TO stimulate
| the interest and urge upon them the
Importance of the Odd Fellows Home
fund, which ] think has met with the
hearty endorsement Of the brethren, and
will be productive of good results IN the
near future
