we greet eaoh other warmly . Years have not dimmed the gracious sensibilities of our ancient associations . Time , with its sorrows and it changes , its years and its burdens , though it may have bowed onr frames and whitened our locks , has not extinguished the warmth of our hearts , has not chilled the old fire on the mystic altar of Masonio
friendshi p . And so let us hope it will ever be until that inevitable hour , when even for us the time must come when our work is over and our weird f olfilled . Until then , let old and valued friendship Spude our steps and cheer our ways , lifting up our aspirations with pisasantest memories , and filling our minds with kindliest sensibilities . —Freemasons' Repository .
