Would it bo drawing too much upon their imagination , when they thought that by their efforts thoy had relieved broken-hearted widows and mothers ; had assisted to further the success of their sons and daughters .

Referring to tho lato Festival , he said , was not its suecoss a most wonderful one ? this showed that Masons wero prosperous , in spite of tho depression of trade , or , afc all events , that they had
mado np their minds not to allow tho Charities to suffer throngh that dopressiou . Bro . C . Lacoy next called upon the brethren to drink to tho health and prosperity of thoir President , Bro . J .
