The Provincial Grand Master paid a high compliment to Bro . Woodward on his re-appointment as Provincial Grand Secretary , expressing his personal obligations to him for a « ain undertaking the arduous work , and saying that since

Bro . Woodward had occnpiea the position he had , by indefatigable energy perfected the organisation of the Province , which now reflected the highest possible credit on his exertions . Bro . Scnrrah , on behalf of the Henry
