by John Doeserich, P. M. January 24th, 188-1. Mr. Doeseiich then addressed the lodge as follows: MASTEU WOUKMAN, OFFIUEKS AND this our first regular meeting 1 take pleasure in presenting to you a copy of the Holy Bible, which according to our constitution must always be in our lodge room.

Upon it are founded all the laws and principles of our beloved order, as well as beiug the great light among all civilized nations upon the face of the earth. In it we find the greatest and noblest precept, "For all the law is ultilled in one word eVeu in this; thou shalt love thy neigh-' bor as thyself." In those few words is embraced the highest duty of man to his fellow creatures, and we should not only practice the precept in the lodge room, but everywhere in our path through life in the fullest sense of the word. There are many other passages found in this book which are reminders of the love we should bear for one another, and not render good for evil, but ever extend a helping hand to an erring brother. The corner-stone of our institution is charity and to relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan are among the many duties that are incumbent upon us Without charity our beloved order would soon pass into oblivion; but with it we have the assurance that whether at home or abroad, the sick brother will be carefully nursed and tenderly cared for, and should he pass across the dark river from whose bourne no traveler returns.he will have the satisfac tion of knowing that his wife and family will be provided against want, and have the comfortable sum of $2,000 for their support and protection. Hoping that we may always meet in the same spirit of harmony and peace that prevails to-night, I thank you kindly for your attention.

That the douer'had planned and executed a pleasant surprise was evident by the look upon the faces of the members present. Dr. C. M. Hillebrand then -took the floor and on behalf of the lodge returned thanks to Bro.

Doeserich for his magnificent gift in the following remarks- SIASTEK WORKMAN, OFFICERS AND THE TEACHERS. THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION'S SESSION IN THIS CITY VERY SUCCESSFUL, AND APPRECIATED.

It was fortunate that he was not thrown under the car, as he could not have escaped serious injury.

The left eye was injured, and that portion of his face is very much swollen. He remained in town Saturday night, and considers himself a very lucky man. ON TO GALENA.
