decorated, long festoons of evergreens
hanging in graceful arches from the
ceiling, and wreath*, motoes aud-mon-

with an abundant supply of the

my
pleasant duty to give expression of their
feeling and to assure yon of onr most
cordial welcome. The order of United
Workmen is intended chiefly to give u
prececal expression to charity, by pro
tecting the widows and orphans or its
membership from want, when their na
tural guardian shall have been taken
away by death. What nobler object
could engage the attention of men, or
what worx is more phOauhrapie than
to make provisions for the weak and
defenseless in their hour of distress and
need? To you, brethren and gentle
men, as the representative! here of oth
er lodges; of our noble order, engaged
in a wort that commends itself to onr
hearts and highest approval, we extend
again and again a sincere welcome.

When we accepted your kind invita
tion, extended to u> one year ego, we
felt assured that we would meet with
a cordial ^reception. Our brother of
your Lodge has reiterated your re
quest. There are some of you whom
we have never met, yet, as we gaze in
to each face, and see th* kind expres
sion of brotherly love, we can grasp
each of yon by tbe hand and say,
“brother, it is good for ns to b* here.”
While Mr soch good feUowahip let ns
do good work, and build a beautiful
temple, dedicate it to charity, with the
hope that it will be a listing protec

Through successive ages tho mind ol
man has ever cherished some system of
organization to propagate these virtues.
Amid tho thunders of Sinai, Jehovah
wrote them on tablets of stone. King
Solomon, with all his wisdom.inculcat
ed them and founded the noble order of
Free Masons. The Son of God exem
plified them on Earth and redeemod
man on Calvary. The several charita
ble institutions of church and State are
light houses along the shores of time,
which shed their genial rays all over
onr earth. Life Insnranca Companies
sprang into existence to offer protection
to those who were dependent after the
father was gone, but there was some
thing wanted yet. Man disliked to ac
cept charity simply as charity, or the
protection of life insurance compa
ny, which has alone a hard metalie ring.
Man’s necessities brought into exist
ence tho Ancient Order of United
Workmen, Knights of Honor and
kindred orders. To oor noble order
I believe is acceded the honor of being
the first organization of its kind to
blend the three into one: Charity Hope
snd Protection; the Order which ena
bles a man to help himself aod those
dependent upon him.
As to the complaint that tbe itrail
menu may increase, we answer yes;

Have any of you bad the inclination
and leisure to lay aside tbe cares of
business end take a stroll in the
“pathless woods’’ on any of these
lovely Spring days ? Have yon
climbed tome neighboring hill and ta
ken a view of the beauty and grardeur
spread oat before you? Have you
been into the gardens snd considered
the beauty of the liliei, roses and
violate, while the pearly dow drops
bang trembling on their line, blushing
with beauty as though ashamed that
tho god of cay bad caught them iu
their acts of endearmont ? If so, then
in Imagination I invite you to Eden’s
bowers, before man and Satan entered
its precincts; when the morning atari
sang together for joy; when it came
forth fresh from the Creator’s band,
and Uc himself pronounced it good.
There were tho beasts of the field,
the fowls of the air and the fish in the
sea, yet the connecting link between
tbe creators and creator was not yet
established.
We ere told that God raid “let ua
mako mao slier our own image, with
dominion over the creatures!”
Brothers, have you ever realized io
whose image we are made, and that
our first duty is to be like Him who
made us? Contemplate, with me, the
first man—there he Res, fashioned in
the image of hu£Creator, yet inanimate.
As the Supremo Master Workman of
the Universe, stoops to imprint the
first* kin of -love upon his lips, he
breathed into him the breath of life
and a pert of His own immortality.
His lips had oot as yet profaned his
maker’s name; hie breath bad not as
yet inhaled the deadly miasma of sin,
nor his puny inn been raised io re
bellion to God’s authority. Look at
him a* he walks through paradise in
sweet communion with his God, and

We know tha*. charity should gov-
n all our dealings, but the wtyst
charity demands that the chronic
growler be no longer allowed to stand
as a stumbling block in the war of j
our Ordet’s growth. There are thou
sands yet withoot, watching and wait
ing to be one of u*.
Brothers, go bsck with me in min
ts! review of the months of August,
September and October, of 1878. Ha,
the many sadden events and changes
of this - bustling life of ours bleared
them in yonr memories ? Have you
forgotten the first outbreak of the pes
tilence, where the beautiful Crescent
City wailed its stroke? How liko somo
huge vampire, tvho«o wings shadowotl
their fair land, it proceeded up tho
Valley of the Mississippi, lucking its
life blood? Have you forgotten the
horrors of Vicksburg, Grenada and
Memphis? Have you forgotten how
it leaped its former bounds and invaded
the mountain fastness of Chattanooga,
till from the summit of Lookout
Mountain it proclaimed itself the king
of terrors to onr awe-stricken nation ?
How the very air seemed pestilential,
and every breeze laden with the widow
and orphan's cry and the death
of departing souls ! Do
how the whole nation
cored ua?
It was ours and kindred Orders that
visited the sick, comforted the dying,
and buried the dead. When the plague
was stayed and the widows and or
phans were left to meet the cold of the
winter, did we fail to meet our assess
ments and pay their beneficiary certifi
cates? No. Although owing to their
separate State Orginixations many
were not liable for the same, yet with
alacrity they responded to tbe distress
call and all of them have been paid.
Who were those that came so gallantly
to our rid? It was those who recently
in war against us. What pro
duced this change of sentiment and
brotherly loTe? It was Charity, Hope
and Protection, as set forth iu ours and
kinarcu uruers.
Life, with its temptations snd.ee-
ducements, are all before us; there are
tricks snd shams snd intimidations that
are set as pitfalls in our path. With
much that is soluble and inspiring
around us, there are manifold tempta
tions to sloth and fickleness, and may-
bo to Corruption. Wc need tho tones
of that voice that never diroctod the
crowds to retreat. The splendid calm

for which it was made, and how it will
