Beading of offi cial reports was taken up Immediately afterward, too moat prominent under this head being tb annual reports of tb -grand chancellor, grand keeper or rooords aad'aeaL grand master of the sxebequer and .supreme -representatives.

Tho -resalta of -this work bo left wltb tb order for judg ment Tb Increase of membership dur ing tho year bad not been o groat as he eould have hoped, but the presiding officer said that la quality there waa perhaps onus for felicitation, aa an ef fort was mads to get only sue anights aa would remain permanent active workers. jf Twelve district deputies were ap appolnted during the year, and seven deputies of th grand chancellor at large, tb latter being W.

Last year eras the first period that the grand chancellor sailed district conven tions, and the retiring official said that the practice of delegating thla power to tho grand chancellor was commendable. Greet enthusiasm was manifested la the district gatherings. In this respect a recommendation was mad that a tax be levied to encourage thla district worn. th fund created thereby to bo knows as the district oonvontloa fund, and the amount of tb tax is to be repaid to such districts as hold thatr conventions. la regard to suspensions for non-pay-meat ef dues, the grand ehanoallor thought that the legislation of tho su premo lodge, revoking th atatu requir ing a member to be suspended at tho end of 111 months' arrears wag wise, sad would prove benoncent. Th Brand ohancellor said be had In cited organisation of absent member committees In lodges, whose duties were to get In touch with members away from the homo lodge, write te tbem and en deavor b keep alive aa Interest la order work, Xa regard to uniform rank supplies, a recommendation waa made that the brigadier-general endeavor to have re galia companies sell tbetr supplies direct to oompsnloB wanting tbem. rather thaa tnrough commission men, aa this me dium wss regarded tb soared of much abuse In encouraging men to organise before they were really ready to main tain a oompany. Recommendation for a room at a Port land hospital waa made, which, la prop erly endowed, would Insare greater com forts to sick members. Members were urged to encourage the work of the Rath bone Sisters, and support the aux iliary In every way possible. Cordial Orals was bestowed bpoa kls so-worker la tb grand lodge, Mr. tin son, and th rattrlng official assured the member that be would still work for the order wits tb seal shown la the P ' Orand Keeper of Rooords and teal L.
