Hospitality and kindness to visitors and strangers seems to bo an instinctive trait of the human family, for it antedates even Christian ity or civilization. Long before the dawn of tho Cbristain era and before its enlightening and refining influences had been felt, many beautiful instance* bad occurred with people, not ooly un lettered, bnt with barbaric aod savage tribes. As the blessings of education and culture has widened and increased, the beautiful rites of hospitality have been dignified snd exalted, until now it is recognized as a cardinal virtue, and it is a beautiful office, both to ex tend and receive it. As the representa tive of our Lodge, as well as the spokes man of our city and people upon this it becomes Master Workman Gilbert was in his happiest and most active mood, add- auspicious occasion, ing his attention to the enjoyment of all.

Dr. Alexander's expression of kindly feeling towards Albany, in his response to the toast, “Oor Visiting Brethren,” gave full assurances to those assem bled that he meant exactly tvhat he saiil —his words echoing tha throbs of a noble heart. Mr. H. T. Mash waa Chairman of the Committee on Hall decorations; snd it was universally conceded that Willingham's hall presented a more attractive appearance than ever before. The designs snd figures were the artis tic work of Mr. D. Neuman, who kindly volunteered his service. Hoar 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. In behalf of the Grand Lodge Col. Grigsby E.

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 tion for onr loved ones when we are W* are told in our Ritual that onr Order it of recent date, yet its principles are at ancient as creation itself. Let us see if the Protection. These three our order have their origin with 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; but nevci more than two-thirds of the rates in life insurance compm- Baptist Convention or any other eccle siastical body that could bo scared up in this country.

He says that he has neTer known a more favor- have hail, so far, this spring, and that not failed to make good u-« of it. Mr. Slappey,iso gave o- solo- in formation in regard t.. .V.agnolia Springs that will doubtless be of inteivst lo some of oar readers, as » good many people from Albany and vicinity uxui] ly visit this popuitr watering place every summer. He informs us that three or four new building, are being erected at the Springs, nnd that there will be belter accommodation for visi tors this season lhan ever b.-fore. All that 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 in company with her whom God had 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.

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.
