the law and rules Of the order, want
to congratulate Supreme Chancellor
Green, for it was declared that he wa:
going to break up the order. He
placed his hands in the hands Of Coo
so to speak, and went right on doing
his, duty. He spent much Of his time
go to meet law suit without first
going into his room, closing his door
and talking to God. A man who
trusts in God will make it in this world
and in the world to come.
You recall that there has been much
attention turned to Virginia and then
Missouri attracted much attention, for
It was thought by some Of this state
that they could get by without paying
up, and they could bluff some one, but
believe me, honey, when Missouri
looked Supreme Chancellor in the
face, and said, you must show me, .
he just raised his hammer and it fell
heavy chopping that state right off,
head and tail. Grand Chancellor
Lloyd, looked up, saw his head in the
waste basket, and asked What man
ner of man is this" and honey before
the Supreme Lodge could act, and the
charter Of that state revoked, Grand
Chancellor Lloyd recommended to his
grand lodge that it pay UP and do SO
at once, although just a year before.
he recommended that the taxes not be
paid and the money returned to the
members.
Missouri is a large state, an old
Pythian state, but it had to pay up
just the same. They all look alike to
me, and large and small alike must
obey the edicts of the supreme lodge,
declared Mr.. Green.
Virginia returned to the Supreme
Court. They were received by SUI
.preme Counsellor Tidrington. Now
let me hear say that Sir Knight It'd
rington is just the man for the place.
He has reached the hearts Of the
women. He is a considerate man, and
kind to all. They love him and de-
clare that he is just the man for the
place. He was presented with fine
silver service, and something else.
was delighted to see this, and the same
kind of thing was presented to SUI
preme Chancellor Green.
There were many men from many
places. Of course Texas was right in
line headed by Grand Chancellor 5
w. Willis, and he was made member
Of the PytE1ian Temple Commission.
You recall he is some pumpkins him
SELF and a great leader OF men.
was delighted to see SO much brain
working together. Grand Chancellor
Wickham was another busy man, as
was H. w. Conrad.
had the pleasure Of hearing the
wonderful report and address made
by Mrs. Moreno Davis, from Kansas
She is a remarkable woman. | met
MANY able women. Texas women
were there in good line, headed By
Mrs. "A. d. Key, but they lost many
Of their blue bonnets through mistake
But | must break right here and pay
tribute to that great Military Genius
Major General r. r. Jackson. The
greatest fraternal order parade ever
pulled off in New York was staged
here last Friday. / believe that there
must have been 10000 men in line.
Saying nothing about the women in
uniform, women and men in automo-
bile car carriages, men and women
well l just can't tell you, but honey,
General Thomas Kennedy from Kan

fine in line. He is genius himself
