the distinction. To show our gratitude
we will try and emulate the example
laid down by the past exalted rulers
of 214 in advancing Elkdom in this
jurisdiction. by the steady growth of
desirable membership. wholesome en-
tertainment, taking our due part in
community affairs. and by the prac-
tice of those. virtues which are en-

to increase our membership by the
selective plan, the first large initiation
to be held in June or the first part of

planning varied amusements for our
members that will occur frequently

secretary's annual report to the grand
lodge. The outstanding Indebtedness
against. the building of $4,000 has
just been subscribed by some of our
members. The lodge has S332 mem

$4,000 will be wiped out this wear
so that the bonds might be burned but
it is possible for this lodge TO pass the
1000 mark in membership and we are
after it.
TO accomplish these things we
need the cooperation of each and

of might within his W soul as he
realized the conquering power within
his w being. He evidently felt the
exultation of the winning general in
a world war as the mighty forces were
hurled back to defeat and to death.
Yet he did not arise in conceit and
claim even his own share in this mo-

recognized the fact that he was living
