I The worlds greatest triumphs are re' corded in its most appalling tragedies When we contemplate the terrors of such a disaster as we hav read of in San Francisco we are apt to doubt th pro per adjustment of the works of nature or providences of God, but it is just such things as this that develops and cultivates i the highest attributes of man. We are required to hault in our chase after the almighty dollar and all the. sordid and J selfish motives of our natures stand i aside so that we may give full play to I those sentiments that are the flower and I fruit of all that is' great and nab- , ling in our civilization. Without war . there would be no patriotism so that all i me caiamiues mat may befall us are j blessing in disguise to make us nobler and grander in relieving distress and pro tecting the unfortunate. It is for thp development of the higher attributes that fraternal societies . such as the Odd I Fellow, Masons and others are instituted t among men and the principles that under- lie these benevolent societies are the I foundations of all that is ' good in our civilization, ' I heartily welcome you to our city, and command you for the charities you bestow on the misfortunate end those in distress. ; I extend to you the full hospitality of the city and bespeak for you a most ' glorious time."
