To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and Members of the Grand Orange Lodge of British America : - MOAT WORSHIPFUL SIR AND BRETHREN— In a000rdance with constitutional prao• tice, I have great pleasure in presenting herewith . my third annual report as Secretary of the Grand Orange Lodge of British America, which contains a brief resume of the work transacted during the past year, • ' We assembled'"tovday in the beautiful town- of Sault Ste. Marie, in the far- famed District of Algoma, standing as it were, halt•way between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, at the gateway of the great chain of lakes through which the commerce of half this bontinent passes, and easily reach by magnificept steamers from all parte of our great rakes, and that well equipped road, the Canadian Pacific Railway, reminding us of the vastness of this great British North - American continent, with its 2,000 miles of fertile landon either side of where we now asaemble. Every Principal Grand Orange Lodge under our jurisdiction has made its ,annual returns, and from these interest- ing reports, conclusive evidence is furnished that the year just closed has been one of the moat successful in the history of our Association. And although returns from the Grand Lodges are not quite complete, the figures show as follows : by initiation, 4,341; by depositing their certificate of member.- ship, 1,638, and by being reinstated to membership, 520. While our absolute loss has been As, follows: by expulsion, 159, and by death, 315. The nett in. crease being 6,0254 It must be a Mat- ter of pride and congratulation tn all concerned that the veterans of years gone by are still to be found to our ranks, sante of whorii have eorved faith: fully and true for more rethan hao en., fury, and' also 'that the young inen=of to, day are' crowding our ranks a,yd emulat.. 1. e��,,,7' u ach Other in"• t e dr 8 to n79I fi` �' ritaWtite Your newsDiatriotLodge Warrents hyo been issued1' ,•s folioive: Montgreal,..

Canadian Paolfio Iiaitway:, from Mattewa ato Sudbury, togeti►er with snob, ,Lodges aro working north of the gn ,an River, ver, have beim formed into a,: County Lodge to be Jrnown ae the flip wing CQunty Lodge. Soave of the beat end brightest workers in our As, soot""ation are to be found in this newly ferried County Lodge, and I have no doubt but what the orgeaniaation of this Lodge will ,be of great help to thew in properly :carrying on the work of the Association. Six new Orange Yeupg Britons' Lodgedhave been brought into exist: enol during the past year, largely signed requisitions being forwarded in each ins Stance to the M. W. the Grand Master. The picers of the Grand Lodge .0 0. B, are men of energy and ability, and from present indications it would appear as if they were about to enjoy a season ot the old-time prosperity which made their Order once so Iamous all over Canada. Four Ladies' Lodges have also been formed at the• following places : Hanna. ton, Brockville, Addison and Athens making in all ten Lodges of the Ledieel Loyal, Orange Benevolent Association now in working order. • It is understood that the .Executive -of the Ladies' Ass sociation will be preseutat this session of Grand Lodge, and will ask for ,the formation of a Grand Lodge with full poweraa to carry on their own work subject to the approbation and approval of this Grand Lodge. ' Eight Royal Scarlet Dispensations for the . formation of Chapters have also been issued to the following places : County of Cape Breton, N. S.; Districts of No. 1, North Hastings; East Gwillim- bury; Vaughan, and West Nipissrng;, and to three Isolated Lodges, No. 1093, Fprt William; No. 1608, Regina, and No. 1617, Prince Albert, N. W. T. The correspondence for the year just past has been large and more than double in volume that of former years. rt has, howevet, been of a very pleasant and satisfactory character; and the very limited number of appeals that have been entered againet the various decis- ions, must be regarded as evidence that the Association is at peace within its borders, and that good fellowship and a desire to live and act up to the Constitu. tion appears to exist throughout our entire membership. There are now twentykfive Grand Lodges working under the jurisdiction of the Triennial Council, and from pearly all these Lodges, recent annual reports have been received, a careful persual of which elicits the act that the Orange association has included under its banner a vast army of men, who are faithfully and rioply working for the relief of the sick and distressed, car- ing for the fatherless and widow, and standing forward for the principles of our Protestant faith. With the consent and approval of the M. W. the Grand Master, 1 personally visited the Provincial Grand Orange Lodge of Quebec, at its annual meeting held at the City of Montreal, on March 7th last, when I was delighted beyond measure to witness the large gathering wbich took place on that date ; over one hundred good and true men sat down to deliberate and work out plans for the advancement of the Association in the Province of Quebec. Among other mat. ters that came under discussion, and one which I had the pleasure of bring, ing to their notice, was the organisation of new Lodges in parts not fully ocotis pied, and also a system of visitation by the Grand Lecturer of Lodges in sparse. 1y' settled districts. The brethren of the Grand Lodgewere unanimous in their desire to maintain the hands of those carrying on the work of the var. ious Primary Lodges, and a well prepar, ed scheme was adopted by the Grand Lodge, which, if brought into operation, would no doubt have a. very marked efs fact in the history of our Association in the Province of Quebec. The following day I visited the Pro. vinoial Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario East, at their annual meeting at Tweed, at which their was one of the largest gatherings that has perhaps occurred in the history of that prosperous Grand Lodge. The M. W. the Grand Master and other officers of this Grand Lodge were also present and took part in the proceedings. Great regret was express, ed at the meeting at the absence of the venerable Secretary of Ontario East, R. W. Bro. Major A. J. Vaningen, who has since passed away to his reward. His kindly advice and cheery expression of goodwill to all the brethren will Tong he remembered by those who had the. pleasure of attending the meetings of the Grand Lodge of Ontario East, as well as ot this Grand Lodge of which he was Deputy Grand Secretary for many years. By special permission of the M. W. the Graisd Master, and at the request of, the officers of the Grand Orange Lodge of the United States, I had the honor and privilege of being present at the am nual session of their Grand Lodge, held in the City of Minneapolis, in the State of Minnesota. I was surprised and de• lighted at the large attendance of dele- gates and visiting brethren, and'agree- ably pleased at the'harinonious and care- fulmanner in wbich th business of Grand. Lodge was conducted.. • The Orange Assoeiatton of the 'United States, after years of battling for existence, ap. pears now to have passed through its most crucial stage, and if the brethren are only true u e to ea011 oilier end the principles on which the ' Assoofatibn is founded, there, is ay great funic for it among the 'Many. n11111008 of "°eo to i" ,g, ,y h, �n thc'�. o ntrit a .. , :. • o feta d h. sot ,bf ue ... t r d t tib r . tti1 y � l rlorious principles of civil and e. ligi tuqbs',gfttifyltg tti` the brethren 'of this •1.1:1i4..fc•:41 93 Grand 44 440 loo -n thetrwi'tboat a die, sentient Voicet h eyagreedto ad ort the unwrilte,nworsre aed by the rand 4ouqOils an therefore amay lo xaw}! , la,t ourreetxes that at least the 4w9,pr'in4. cipla fretir000, pour Ageociation are. now • uniform; . 1 have personall ,to thank the brethren of',the: Grand Lol�$ d of the United states, fort ,emany courtesies end atteution,ehown to me and I mus congratulate tilem'on the splendid staff o f officers they have elected—,brethren Of known and recognized ability and int teliigenco tieingat the beim, The' Grand Orange Lodges of Ontario West and Newfoindl'and have passel unanirrmue reaolutiona favoring the pre., paration of aRoyal Arch (certificate to be given to a member on his exaltation. If a handsomely designed certificate similar to that of the Royal Scarlet sho'ild be prepared, 'I have no doubt but that a vast majority of the brethren would be pleased to obtain these certifi- cates, would prize them highly, and place them in a prominent place in their homes to remind them of that beautiful degree. In the orgat$zation of new Lodges, considerable difficulty is felt because of the fact that we furnish only a limited supply of the necessaries for carrying on the work of the Lodge. This matter ,has been before the Grand Lodge on more that one occasion, and it appears to we that we should consider this clues.tion, which is one of importance, and deal with it if possible during this see. sion of Grand Lodge. A Primary Lodge badly equipped at its organization is only half prepared for duty; and in some cases may never recover from the Effect of doing its work haphazardly or in a slovenly manner. I am of the opinion that for a sum not exceeding double that for which we charge at pre- sent for Warrants, we could practically equip a new Lodge with all the neces- saries for carrying on its work for the first two aqr three years of its history. This is cel•taioly a very important mat- ter and should receive the attention of the members of, Grand, Lodge at its pre. sent session. The qua tion of supplying d uniform regalia is o'ne which must be dealt with sooner or later, and if it is considered at the present session of Grand Lodge, some of the brethren might afterwards put their thoughts into shape in the form of a uotice of motion which could be discussed at the next annual meeting of this Grand Lodge, and no doubt would form tho basis of a solution of this vex, ed and troublesome question being ar- rived at. To the brethren of British America it seams almost unnecessary to say a word on behalf: of The Orange Sentinel now so well known throughout every portioniof our jurisdiction, or of the splendid premium pictures which from year to year has been given to its subscribers in addition to the valuable reading mat- ter which from week to week appears in its columns,. and which ought to make The Sentinel a weloome visitor in the homes of every Orangeman and loyalist. During the past year, Bro. R. R. Clarke, who was its chief editorial writer from its inception, has been called away to his reward i but the work which be car- ried out so ably has fallen into worthy hands and is continued with! much vigor. In concluding this report, I have great pleasure in bearing evidence to the kind assistance and prompt- attention given to my correspondence by the Secretaries of the '-various Provincial Grand Orange Lodges, and to the M. W. the Grand Master -for his advice and kindly guidance on all occasions. From time to time difficulties requiring thought and judgment will arise, and it is a mats ter for congratulation to find that after the clone of another year we are at peace and harmony within ourselves and the desire of all seems to be in the building up and strengthening of the bonds which bind our vast brotherhood. Trusting that our deliberations may be conducive to the best interests of our Aesociation, to the glory of God, and the welfare of mankind. I am, M.W. Sir and Brethren, Very sincerely yours, ROST.
