si lit out to a!^HWs!ateli.|:-,()s:
"As wo ha\ • seen the close of the
rear 190-1 an-1 tho end of the first
month of the- year 1905 t desire as
your presiding officer to let the order
in this jurisdiction know wliat, has
been done and wliat is being done til
tills time. While the order is pro
gressing very nicely, ! fool that we
have not done all that we can do and
ought to do. Since my term ol office
began the first of last June, there has
Been instituted sixteen new lodges
v ith a membership, of til 4. it seems
to me that we ought to have had at
toast twenty-!’.'c or thirty new lodges
by this time with a membership or
from twelve or fifteen hundred, hut on
account of serious illness of tin wife
of itev. W. T. Thompson, the state or
i.anizer, lie li is been unable to do any
work during the last three months
tic informs mu that now It*.- wife is
much improved, and he will be nine,
to gel actively in the field, amt hopes
to ttiai.c a good shewing before Iho
meeting of tho next grand lodge.
I desire to cull upon alt of the loilg
o> io get to - oik earnestly and wun
new (leterim.mlion to organize some
new lodges in your respective sections
■is well as improve those already in ox
dunce. We 'tight to have at least
twenty-live or more new lodges by lilt
t tin- the grand lodge meets in May.
1 find in going over liio records
v 't ii our gran i secret ary that the re
torts from the old lodges at the end
of the last term show an approximate
g. ii in membership of 71.8 'I his is
a very small rain, hut it is due largely
to Llio fact that the suspensions have
I ( (it extremely heavy. I am sorry Io
slate that sonic of the lodges have
.- impended at lc-jst 25 per cent of their
membership*. Our jncemte ought to
have been much larger and would
i ave been but for the groat number
suspended and. in this connection I
t <■: ire to rein ml the financial secre
taries ot the various lodges that mem
t ors ?,o often suspended for lack ol
1 roper performance of duty on llie
1-art of the secretaries, and 1 ask that
these officers ho vigilant in the per
ii (finance of Heir duties ami suggest
that you gel a list of Die suspended
members of your lodge, go find see
fill in' anil try to get them to be re-
Instated. Winn you study Hie popu
lation of Georgia as compared with
other states in connection wilb our
i oble order, we ought to have from
..'e.dOU to 40,000 Odd Fellows In goon
standing and with the proper work
trot energy on (he part of those inter
rated In ibis order, it will only lie a
l(\v years when wo will have a mein
i erfthip of Ihai number. 1 find upon
examination of the records that on
I ioi -tuber 31, I!I03, the total member
ship was 17,123. Increase for 11 rat
Urm of 1904 was 2,077 approximate ln
ciease for tho second term of Ihtil,
1.372 making n total membership on
t-ce. 111, 190 1 of 20,672 and an increase
lor the year 1904 of 3,419. As I say
this increase would lie much larger but
let- tin 1 fact that there have been so
it.any suspension*. I give these fig
ures Io the various lodges because we
have no official ar-.-an In Ibis state at
this time by which the members can
keep up with wliat the order is doing
“Now, in conclusion, brothers, tot
its gel to work In the Interest of the
erder and work earnestly and Iry to
r.itike the year 1906 the banner year or
Odd Fellowship In Georgia and en
('(nvor to Increase our membership io
at least 23000. We represent a noble
