adoption of the financial statement . Bro . Pu . Soutar , one of the auditors , seconded the resolution , which was passed . Upon the motion of the Provincial Grand Master , seconded by Bro . Col .

No . 23 ( 53 , which would make a total of 102 Lodges in tho Province . The number of subscribing members in East Lancashire Avas 4307 , as against 4316 last year . Tho number of members in arrears was 321 . a much larger

number than was creditable . The Provincial Grand Master said the report was on the Avhole satisfactory , but he hoped attention would be paid to the several matters referred to by the Secretary . It was very gratifying to him to see tho Lodges in tho Province so Avell represented at that meeting .

Their organization was one Avhich exercised much influence on society at large . No society in the present age could remain in a lethargic state . It either must progress for the general benefit or exert an influence in the opposite direction , which was always a sad and painful matt ) r .
