After due consideration none of us
wonder why the Grand Lodge Off
cials, who have finished their terms,
band together in an association
named the Past Grand Ofieers As
sociation. Certainly they want to
preserve the friendships and ties
made while they were active. Now
that they have finished, they are
rendering a valuable service by
keeping an eye on the destinies Of
the fraternity, by carefully scrutin-
izing the work of the new admins
tration as II comes in. Advising here
and there whenever necessary. The
experience gained first hand is val
liable.
Then the association with fellow
members over the banquet table
once in a while tends to keep alive
pleasant memories as well as fur
