The Grand Commandery Of Michigan.

THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF MICHIGAN .

The Grand Commandery of the Sir Kmghts Templar of Michigan met on the Sth ult . The Grand Commander Thomas A . Flowers , ofPontaic , submitted the annual report , from which we extract : — Sir Knights ofthe Grand Commandery ofthe State of Michigan . In accordance with our Constitution we are again assembled in annual conclave to review the past and

legislate for the future government of our Order wi thin this Grand Jurisdiction . Having in this asylum offered our " prayers and oblations" to Almighty God , the giver of every perfect gift , and thanked Him for many blessings He has vouchsafed to the past year , and invoked His divine assistance in all our deliberations , that we may be guided aright , I will at once proceed to give an account of

my official acts , and impart such information m regard to the welfare of this Order as may have come to my knowledge . It is a source of much pleasure to me to be able to state to you that , throughout our entire jurisdiction , our Order is in a very prosperous condition . Harmony prevails , and the monster Death , so far as I know , has

thinned our ranks but lightly . . . . Within Ihe jurisdiction of this Grand Body we number twenty-five commanderies working under charters , and three under dispensations , with nearly fifteen hundred numbers ; and it is a great blessing , indeed , that from so large a number so few should have been called to the asylum above . . .

. At the request of Sir Knight R . J . Carney , E . C , I visited Bay City Commandery , U . D ., for the purpose of instruction , in company with Sir Knight T . H . Armstrong , of Detroit Commandery , No . I , and Sir Irving M . Smith , E . C ., and several other Sir Knights of St . Bernard's Commandery , No . 16 . I witnessed the conferring the Order of the Temple by the officers of this young

commandery , which was done m a very creditable manner indeed , I conferred the Orders ofthe Red Cross and the Temple , and examined their records , which are kept in a very neat and creditable manner . . . . It is with much pleasure that I learn that the Knights in this jurisdiction are taking greal inieresi in the drill , and are generally being uniformed . I would recommend that no

candidate be admitted to the Order of the Temple until he shall have procured , or made provisions to procure , a uniform . ... I recommend that this Grand Body appoint a Grand Visitor—one well versed in the ritualwhose duty it shall be to visit every commandery in this State , and give proper instruction , to the end that we may have uniform work throughout our entire jurisdiction .

. . . I consider our present ritual imperfect , and , in many parts , ambiguous . It lacks verbal directions , and I would recommend lhat it be revised . I learn from Grand Master W . S . Gardner , that the Grand Commandery of Illinois have prepared and adopted a very complete and excellent ritual , with verbal directions . I

would recommend that a copy of the Illinois ritual be obtained for examination . The Grand Commandery was called to labour again at two o ' clock p . m ., and was in session until half-past five . The following is the list of officers elected to serve for the ensuing year :

Rt . E . G . C . —G . S . Mitchell , of Jackson . Rt . E . D . G . C . —D . Bavec , of Cold water . Grand Generalissimo—L . C . Starkey , of Kalamazoo . Grand Captain-General—E . I . Garfield , of Detroit . Grand Prelate—J . Coggshall , of Ionia . Grand Senior Warden—Carlos G . Curtis , of Detroit .

HOLLOWAV ' S PILLS . —A certain cure for headaches , excessive or deficient bile , loss of appetite , and lowncss of spirits . —These pills can be taken without danger from wet or cold , and require no interruption of pleasure . They act mildly on the bowels , strengthen the stomach , and promote a healthy action of the liver , whereby they purify the blood , cleanse the skin , brace the

nerves , stimulate the kidneys , and invigorate the whole system . They effect a truly wonderful change in a debilitated constitution , as they create a healthy appetite , correct indigestion , remove biliousness , giddiness headache , and palpitation of the heart . Plain directions for the use of this medicine , at once so mild and efficacious arc affixed lo each box . —[ Advt . ]
