We May not be very imposing in numbers or powerful in that which is generally esteemed Power but in our object and Aims we May Challenge scrutiny and invite investigation. No one evinces More of True heroism than he who Battles against popular evil a who champions the interests of human i Ity and Watt or vice. To make the i world better to eradicate one of the great Parent evils of the age and relieve society from the greatest demoralized known to Man is the object of our labors. The task of the reformer is an unpopular one. A Fie is an innovate a and Mankind Are generally averse to change he is considered a meddler and hence meets opposition for vice has its seeming Independence As Well As its conservatism.

Reports As required by our rules i am unable to give that exposition of the state of our order in particular localities which has been customary but from All the information in my Possession 1 have no hesitation in declaring Ray belief that during the past year our order has been a creasing in strength and Power. This May not be True of every distinct locality but As a general thing throughout toe state we stand better to Day than we did one year ago. The spirit pervading our whole organized of was never bettor. There is More of determined single hearted Devotion to our great reuse than has before characterized any period of our history. Every where where we have a foothold there is a determination a a to push on the columns a and do up the work. A Good degree of activity has characterized our operations. The summer season is not favourable for toe Active out door a writ of the order As the autonom and Winter but during the season just past i think there has been More of this kind of work done than usual there has been on toe whole an increase of members initiated Over those expelled and withdrawn. Our finances Are not in the Best condition yet All toe current expenses of the year have been promptly met and a Small reduction made of toe debt due from the grand division. The number of new divisions organized equals and rather exceeds those which have surrendered their Charters. Be a sides these new divisions Are mostly in Active working condition while those which have ceased to exist were x. \ a
