It is proposed during the session
of tlie grand lodge to initiate a large
class of candidate in the rank of page,
which will be known as lhe Rath-
bone Bible Class."
Bro. Wheaton will bring with him
the original Rathbone Bible, the one
that was used at the institution of the
first lodge of our order, on February
19, 1864. This bible was presented
to Bro. Rathbone by his mother,
when he was but five years old, in
1844. Later Bro. Rathbone gave the
bible over to the supreme lodge and
it is now in the custody of the su
preme keeper of records and seals,
At the conferring of the rank of page
Portland, bro. Wheaton will take
the part of prelate and obligate each
candidate over the same book of law
that was used at the founding of our

bers, and this is the ttrst time it has
ever came west of the Kansas state
line.

concluding ceremonies of the rank
of page will be the authorized drama
1 he Lesson of I'riendship which
was adopted by the supreme lodge
as the only ceremony that can be
used bv the order. It will be used
this year for the first time in Urcgon.
Lodges in Portland and vtcmity
are requested to secure as many ap
plications tor the Kathbone tsihle
Class," as possible, and report the
number secured not later than Oc
tober 9, if possible, to the grand keep
