A L L T O N H A R V E Y S H E R M A N
Happy are we in that we have lived to see this day and to see and to
greet this large number of our Brethren of the Mystic Tie. The Masonic
year just closing has been very prosperous and successful. We have made
large additions to our numbers; all good men and true we believe; men
whom we are glad to be associated with and to call them our Brethren.
We have, in several notable instances, renovated, improved and enlarged
our meeting places; we have largely increased our funds, we have helped
to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked. All these material things
we have done in large measure. We have strengthened our faith in
spiritual matters; we have increased our belief in the immortality of
the soul and I humbly trust that we have refined and strengthened our
character. For all these great blessings that our bountiful Father has
showered upon us may our hearts overflow with gratitude to Him, the
Giver of every good and perfect gift.
