The committee on credentials report- ed and stated that 125 members were in waiting ti receive the supreme lodge degree. After the ceremony of initia- tion was concluded the business of the session was taken up. The supreme warden made a very interesting and detailed report, sub- mitting the work done by each grand jurisdiction, with a summary of the whole. This, tdgether with the reports of the supreme secretary, supreme treasurer, medical examiner, trustes and executive commitee, had been put in printed form and given tto the mem- bers. The facts presented in these re- ports, together with the tables of the gains and losses in membership, clas: ified in rates and sexes, in the differ- ent states, the list of deaths, with the causes thereof, and other data were given in full and greatly Interested the members.

The death rate was 8.69 per thousand of the membership, which is less ithan last year, and the average age of the members’ is 41.6 vears, which is also lower than last vear. 'All of which is very encouraging to the members, as it goes to show that, although this is the 22d year of the order and it has been a year of general depression, it has been one of progress in every re- spect. The treeasurer’s report was as fol- lows: The general fund—Cash on hand April 1, 1908, $8,803.06; received, $70,674.86; paid out, $71,205.08; balance on ‘hand ‘April 1, 1909, $8,272.80.
