dications they mean to make a be-
ter showing this current year We
have some lodges that are adding
members that have not made a sin
gle addition in the past fifteen o.
twenty years. If some more Of those
presidents who have not been too &c
tive will get on the active list, then
our progress will be greater.
At the end of 1852 our member
ship had progressed over our mem
bership in 1851. During 1852 we
had l42 deaths. The number Of
deaths and the number Of delinQuen-
cies hit the Association a staggering
blow and yet, we are above the eight
thousand mark. This was made pos
sible because the faithful and loyal
presidents had a mind to work.
If each president will decide that
he is going to do a certain amount
Of business during 1853 we will GER
tainly get something done.
I believe that if a C h president
will interest the members of his and
her lodge, to the extent that they
will pledge to add one member to
the Association between now and the
Convention success will be ours. If
} this can be done, and I believe that
there are some presidents who will
do it, we will take our rightful place
along other leading Fraternal Assoc
iatioas in the state.
We have gotten out formal let
ter to all presidents asking their I'm
stinted support during 1858 and we
have also asked them to write an
oDen letter to the paper for publica-
ton. Let's do big things during
1858.
