 Henderson, C H. Ferguson, Jas. N. Wetmore, No 275, were 
 obligated and took their seats in this Grand Division. 
 
 The Grand Worthy Patriarch read his Report : 
 
 Dfar Ftlhw-tvorkers : 
 
 I submit my first OfHcial Report with feelingn of devout gratitude 
 to the Great Patriarch above, who has crowned our efforts with a 
 measure of success, and with cordial acknowledgment of your sym- 
 pathy and active co-operation. 
 
 The report of our active and painstaking Grand Scribe will show 
 the Order in this jurisdiction in an encouraging condition ; substan- 
 tial growth in the departments, and a spirit of hopefulness and ac- 
 tivity among our members, which gives promise of better* and more 
 vigorous work in the near future. 
 
 Our beloved Order, believing that the liquor traffic is a moral and 
 political evil — requiring moral and political action to subdue it — 
 undertakes not only to rescue the fallen, prevent others from falling, 
 but to instruct and persuade the Canadian elector, to demand, by 
 voice and ballot, the total suppression of the traffic in strong drink. 
 r trust, therefore, that this Semi-Annual Session shall so imbue us 
 with love for the Order, burning zeal in our own holy cause, the 
 great demand for prompt action, that we shall return to our homes 
 so impressed with the responsibilities and important issues of the 
 reform as to cry from our hearts for ever and ever '^ everlasting war 
 against rum, eternal death to alcohol." 
 
 OFFICIAL VISITS. 
 
 I have not been able to do as much for the spread of our princi- 
 ples and order as 1 would have liked, nevertheless 1 have made 21 
 official visits, delivered 25 public addresses and preached two anni- 
 
veraary sermond. My plan of visitation has hnen among DiviHionn 
 in the Counties of Curleton, Ch)%rlotte, Kings, St. John and Yorl< ; 
 and I hope to look in upon nearly all of our Divisions before my 
 term of office expires. 
 
 DISPENSATIONS AND DECISIONS. 
 
 T have granted dispensations to Intercolonial Division, No. 243, 
 and OihRon Division, No. 300, to instal minors into office ; and ti» 
 Rising Star Division, No. 303. to '-allow members 14 years of age 
 and upwards to vote " 
 
 Deputies residing in the City of St. Jolm have asked if it wouM 
 be a violation of the pledge for members of our Older to sign an up* 
 plication for license to sell intoxicating liquors. In reply I stated 
 that according to my reading of the Constitution and Code of Laws, 
 and of decision 224 in the Digest, which says: ^' Voting directly or 
 indirectly for the sale of any of the beverages named in the Pledge, 
 is a Violation of the Pledge ; that members signing applications for 
 license were guilty of ' conduct unbecoming a Son of Temperance.' " 
 Regarding the matter as one of much importance to us. and to pre* 
 vent as far as possible controversy and trouble in our Division-rooms 
 because of it, I submitted the question and my answer to the Most 
 Worthy Patriarch, £ U.. Clapp. Esq.. asking for his opinion. He 
 replied as follows : '* You ask whether it would be a violation of the 
 pledge for a member of our Order to sign an application for the 
 granting of a license to sell intoxicating liquors under your new 
 law.' " My decision would be yes. I am entirely in accord with 
 you in this matter, and think you do not need any aid from me ex- 
 cept the formal decision which I have given you " This I trust, will 
 be the final settlement of the^'questiou, so far as we, at least, are 
 concerned. 
 
 STATE OF THE ORDER. 
 
 The condition of our work in New Brunswick may be set forth by 
 the ^on\ prospering. While we have not made as much progress as 
 we deserved, nevertheless the record is full of interest and encour- 
 agement. Five new Divisions have been organized, two resuscitated, 
 and the older ones have held their own in numbers and influence. I 
 take this occasion to thank and congratulate all who have in any 
 way helped plant the principles of our Order in the hearts and lives 
 of the people. 
 
 In looking over the map of our Province we discover plenty of 
 room for new Divisions in most of the Couuties — and we should go 
 in and possess the land. Using existing Divisions as rallying 
 places for our forces for work in other directions, making each point 
 gained a radiating center, from which the reform shall be advanced 
 until the Province is belted with the working-bands of the Order. — 
 But we shall make a disastrous mistake if all our energies are ex- 
 pended in purely aggressive lines. It is equally our duty to revive 
 
6

 and also <levote uttt'tition and care to the delicate nuMnhers of the 
 taniily. that they may bo nurtured into vigorous life. VVfth this end 
 in view the Committee engaged the services of our Grand Scribe as 
 an Organizing Agent, giving him special instructions to visit the 
 vteak and declining Divisions, that in their regular meetings they 
 might nave the help of his presence and matured experience in our 
 routine work. He has faithfully followed out bis instructions, and 
 rei)ort8 from the localities visited show thar his visits l»ave been 
 most Helpful and quickening to our work. This, to my mind, is a 
 step in the rigjit direction, and it is for us to continue the ush of 
 means that will bring the twofold benefit of v umbers and stability; 
 but If we cannot have buth, by uU means let us have stability. 
 
 DISTRICT DIVISIONS. 
 
 1 believe great benefit would be obtained from District Organiza- 
 tions in overlooking this work of reviving and building up declining 
 Divisions. From the t!iought given the question. I believe that Dis- 
 trict Divisions, properly conducte<l, would promote the spirit of 
 fraternity between the Subordinate Divisions, furnish a way of 
 strengthening the weak, increase the zeal and activity of our mem* 
 bers, and thus greatly aid us in the advancement of our work. Let 
 us give the matter careful consideration ; and at this juncture I am 
 prepared only to recommend that a competent committee be ap- 
 pointed to obtain the results of District Organization in other juris- 
 dictions, and to make such recommend;i.tions to the Annual Session 
 as they in their wisdom may think for the best interests of our 
 Order. 
 
 CADETS OF TEMPERANCE. 
 
 As allied with this. I wish to ask your attention to an important 
 field of labor, which has been long overlooked, and does not yet re- 
 ceive the attention it deserves. I refer to the formation of Sections 
 of Cadets of Temperance. The value and irapoitance of training a 
 nation's childhood in the principles of total abstinence is conceded, 
 and I know of no better way of rheeting our obligations In this re- 
 spect than by organizin}]^Sec^ion^ of Cadets. Three have been insti- 
 tuted, and a number of Divisions have the matter under considera- 
 tion. This field demands our best thought and a'^ention. 
 
 MOST WORTHY PATRIARCHS VISIT. 
 
 Since our Annual Session this jurisdiction was favored wi'h a visii; 
 froir that representative and devo'ed worker E. H. Clapp, Esq., 
 Most Worthy Patriarch of the National Division, whose words of 
 counsel and encouragemcoj: to 'he Representatives who were present 
 
at the Special Session convened at St. uohn to receive hira, and pub* 
 lie address in the Instifute, advocating]; witji weighty words of wi8< 
 dora and tender words of love, the great principles of our Order, will 
 not soon be forgotten by those who were privileged to hoar hira. 
 
 JUUILEE ADDRESS. 
 
 At the Annual Sessio/i you were pleased to appoint the Grand Scribe 
 and myself o Committee to preparci and forward an humbiB address to 
 Her Moat Gracious Majnaty, conveying tlie cons»ratuU»ion8 of this 
 Grand Division on the completion of the Jubilee year of Iler Mnjpsty's 
 most auspicious reign, and an expraHsion of your strong and loyal at- 
 tachment to person and throne Your Committee discharged this duty 
 to the best of their ability, and have the honor to report that your 
 address was presented, and that Her Majesty was pli^ased to express 
 her pleasure in receiving it, oiid her approval of all etforts looking to- 
 ward the social (\nd moral welfare of her subjects. 
 
 PEOHIBITION. 
 
 The legal aspects of the Temperance movement are well known to 
 you. The success, the unrest, the agitation, the apparent failure 
 and defeat which mark our history, teach us that the only effectual 
 remedy is Cdnstitutional Prohibition. The appirent change in opinion, 
 which the action of certaii< States in the American Republic, and Coun- 
 ties in the Dominion, would seem to indicate, does not, I take it, show 
 that we are losing ground in the tight. Into a discussion of the causes 
 leading to these results we do not propose now to enter, neither is this 
 the place. Statistics furnished the department at Washington show at 
 least that the objection so often urged that prohibitory laws cannot be 
 enforced, has lost muck of its force ; and the defeats recently experi> 
 enced, brought about partly by local and partly by political influences, 
 I take as an emphatic expression of the dissatisfaction of the people 
 with partial measures, and the strengthening of the sentiment that will 
 ultimate in absolute Prohibition. For this we shall continue to pray, 
 and wait. Toward this we shall move as the *' Sabbath and port of our 
 labors," and until this be accomplished we are determined not to slacken 
 our efforts, nor " to bate a jot of heart and hope, but still bear up and 
 steer right onward.'' 
 
 " 'Tis weary watchint; wave on wave, 
 
 And yet ths title heaves onward ; • 
 We build like corals, grave on grave. 
 
 To forge a pathway sunward. 
 
 We are beaten back in many a fray. 
 
 Yet ever strength to borrow. 
 And where our vanguard rests today, 
 
 Our rear shall camp to-morrow." 
 
 , THANKS. 
 
 In concliiainn, I desire to express my grateful appreciation of thn 
 unvarying kindness which has been accorded to mu individually and

 of liesolutions referring to tlie death of Hon. J«thn B Finch was for- 
 warded to Mrs. Finch, as requested. A copy of liesolutions in refer- 
 ence to the Board of Education providing the best text books on the 
 subject ot Alcoholic Spirits, and making ir 'n)perativeupon the teacliers 
 to include as a specialty the education of '>l:fir pupils in this branch of 
 physiological study was forwarded to the propf^r quarter. 
 
 At the requi at of the Propagation Committee 1 spent a month (part 
 of the months of March and April) visiting Diviuions in the Counties of 
 Kings, Northumberland. Gloucester and Restigouche; during that 
 time 1 visited sixteen Divisions, all of which were found in g.H)d work- 
 ing order ; the attendance was good and grcj.i interest manifested in 
 the cause in the different localitii'S ; the work of the Divisions is being 
 felt in a great degree, many persons who for a long time stood aloof 
 are now connecting themselves with them, as they find the time has 
 now arrived when they must take part in driving the tempter from their 
 midst, that they and theirs may be safe from the all pervading des 
 troyer. I intended visiting other Divisions, but travelling on the ice 
 becoming unsafe, and the roads being almost impassable, prevented me 
 doing so. I organized Caraquet Division, No. 344. at Upper Caraquet ; 
 this is the first branch of our Order planted in that locality, and I am 
 in hopes it will yield abundant fruit. I found that visits of this kind 
 were required and appreciated ; the opinion everywhere expressed was, 
 that they would be of greater benefit than those of a stated lecturer, and 
 the wish that they would be continued. The majority ot the Divisions 
 have very fine balls of their own, and those not having them intend 
 building this year. I am strongly of the opinion that if we wish to 
 
10

 l\[ 
 
 kflep the Divisions up to tlie standard of their work, viuits must be paid 
 more frequently than they have been in the pnst. as I iind iustruction 
 i» Ht 4II rimes in B'uson. When Tiaitirig the DiviHions I brought the 
 Buhjpct of the Cadois of Temperance bt^fore theio, which was favorably 
 received, and the result so far is that three sections have been organised, 
 and I exprct more to follow. The only objection was that in some of 
 the p'hchs there were Bands of Hope, and it was thought not prudent 
 to interfert) with them at present, as they were doing good work in their 
 own vay. When we look back in the history of our noble Order and 
 eonbider the work that has been accomplished since its organization, 
 who can calculate tiie cood which has been done during these years—, 
 how many have been saved from filling drunkards graves, how many 
 desolate homes made happy, how many freed from the snares and 
 t»'mptations of the tempter through its influence ? Let us then take 
 courage from the past and push on with renewed vigor in the future ! 
 fefling that we are battling in a righteous cause, and that as we sow so 
 shall we reup.

 The Appeals Committee presented the following report : 
 
 To the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance : 
 
 Officers and Brethren, — Your Committee on Appeals submitted 
 to them beg leave to report as follows : 
 
 With reference to the appeal from Silver Stream Division, No. 
 330, your committee is of opinion, that as provided in Section 4, 
 Article 3 of By-Laws, the matter is entirely in control of the Subor- 
 dinate Division, and if the brother accused has been wronged, the 
 brother bringing the charges should be called upon to apologize, or 
 the penalty provided enforced against him by the Subordinate Di- 
 vision, if they think fit. I 
 
 Resolved^ That the proper course for Bro. Sharp, the appellant, is 
 to bring a charge in his Division, and have it dealt with there, sub- 
 ject to the general right to appeal by any party who may consider 
 himself aggrieved. 
 
 2. With reference to the appeal from Spring Division, No. 262, 
 your committee is of opinion that there is no evidence before them 
 to show that any persons under fourteen were initiated 
 
 Resolved, That the papers be transmitted to Spring Division, with 
 a request that copies of the propositions and reports of the investi- 
 gating committees in the matter be forwarded, and the committee 
 will have something to proceed upon. 
 
 3 ]n reference to the appeal from Mariners and Mechanics Divis- 
 ion, No. 38, your committee is of opinion that we consider the charge 
 of Bro. Wills against the other brethren well taken, except the lan- 
 guage in which it is expressed, which we consider rather harsh ; 
 that we consider the evidence offered by Bro. Wills against Bros. 
 Secord and Rolston sufficient, unless their signatures are disputed. 
 That we consider the other brethren had no ground for a counter 
 
 tl

 counter 
 
 charge against Bro. Wills. That it is contrary to the spirit of the 
 obligation of Sons of Temperance to sign applications fo*" license to 
 sell liquor, though we do consider that there were extenuating cir- 
 cumstances in the case of Bro. McCabe, yet he should prefer princi- 
 ple to all other considerations. Therefore, 
 
 llcsolved. That we sustain the appeal of Bro. Wills against the 
 other brethren, reversing the decision of the Division. 
 
 Respectfully submitted in L. P. and F.

 W. C. Anslow.

 Jieaolved, That Rep. Oraham obligate auy representatives applying 
 for initiation during the session. 
 
 The representatives in waiting were introduced and initiated 
 merobera of tliis Grand Divittion. 
 
 The Most Worthy Patriarch and Most Worthy Conductor be- 
 ing announced in waiting in tlie anto room, Past Most Worthy 
 Associate Everett retired and entered with tlie distinguiuhod 
 visitoffl. The Most Worthy Patriarch and Most Worthy Con- 
 ductor wore escorted to tlie position of lionor and introduced to 
 the Grand Division. Tlie Grand Wortliy Patriarch invited the 
 Most Worthy Patriarch and Mopt Worthy Conductor to oeata 
 at the sefision and introduced ti:om to the members in a brief 
 address. They were received with the Grand Honors. The 
 Most Worthy Patriarch then responded in a most eloquent ad- 
 dress. He referred to the cordial manner in which he had been 
 received in the Province, and his feelings in retnrning to scenes 
 which were so familiar. In New Brunswick he had first joined 
 the Order of the Sons of Temperance, in its schools he first 
 learned the principles of the Order, and he bad graduated in this 
 Grand Division, and ^he credit lor all that he had been able to 
 accomplish, all the honors he had received he now placed at the 
 teet ot hia Alma Mater. He referred to the work tho Order 
 hed done in tho past and the prospects for the future. He 
 briefly outlined some of the difficulties that were to be met with 
 in the work and some of the causes that impeded the rapid 
 growth of the Order in the United i^tates, Prohibition was a 
 Subject for discussion in the Division room, but in these discus- 
 sions it should be remembered that no member had the right tn 
 impeach the motives or discuss the pirty politics of another 
 member. In the Division room, both party politicians could 
 meet and the feelings and sentiments of neither should be at- 
 tacked- He closed with an eloquent peroration calling on the 
 members for more united efibrts in electing Temperance men as 
 representatives, and that more individual effort be put forth for 
 the carrying on of the work along the old lines of moral suasion, 
 for the rum-drinker, and legal suasion for the rum-seller. 
 
 Moved by Bep. C A. Everett, seconded hj Rep. Gushing,

 Worthy Patriarch : 
 
 Whereas, This Orand Division has liitenod trith much pleMure to 
 tliH farneit, energetic, and thoroughly aouud viewi ef the Moat Worthy 
 Patritircb on the various questions vital to the interests of the Order, 
 we take this early opportunity of expressing our heart felt thanks to 
 that OiRcnr for his presence «t this Annual Session of the Orand Di- 
 vision of New Brunswick, and for the excellent remarks just presented. 
 
 The motion tvas adopted by a standing vote. 
 
 The Most Worthy Patriarch replied in a iew remarks, asking 
 that a copy of the roBolution oi thankA be given him that he 
 might refer to it in future and be reminded oi his happy asso- 
 ciation with the Orand Diviuion of New Brunswick, at th«ir 
 annual session. 
 
 The Grand Division then returned to the order of business. 
 
 The Grand Worthy Patriarch read his Report as follows : 
 
 WoopsTOCK, October ITtb, 1888.

 OPFICIAT. VISITS AND DECISI0K8. 
 
 Since the SemiAnnual Session I have visited Divisions in Carle- 
 ton, Charlotte, King's, St. John and Westmorland Counties ; and on 
 several public occasions — as well as from the pulpit — advocated the 
 principles for which we are associated. The duties and cares, bow- 
 ever, of an important vocation prevent me giving that attention to 
 the affairs of our Order their importance demand, and especially this 
 summer, owing to an attack of fever, my plan of work and visitation 
 has been sadly disarranged — consequently I have not done all 1 
 had in my heart to do while at the head or the Order. 
 
 
»1. '\,.. . 
 
 Dispenfiationn havo heon granted to two Divisions to inittal into 
 the oWce of Worthy Patriarch puraona not twenty-one years of A^e ; 
 and to one Division my authority — satisfaotory reasons bein;{ ^iven 
 — to enact a By>Liw permitting mrmbcrs under eighteen to vote in 
 sa d Division. I also acceded to the rcquent of the Grand Wor'hy 
 Astociato, and granted a di(*pf>nBaiion — havin!< effect until this An* 
 nnni tension— to organize ^' Yoric District Division, No. 1.°' Reports 
 shf w tlie wisdom of the departure, as quite an impetus has been 
 gi« en to our cause in that locality. !Sev<rnl questions have been 
 St bmiUed to m** by my Deputies, for decision, and in almost every 
 case 1 have been able to answer by rererriug to the Constitution 
 and Rules of the Order. 
 
 TUB wonK. 
 
 Since my last report four new Divisions and four Sections of 
 Cadets of Temperance have been instituted. These new organiza* 
 tions are planted in important centers, bringing to us influence as 
 well as numbers, and giving promise not only of power in their re- 
 spected localities, but of honor to the Jurisdiction. From the reports 
 to hand we learn that 1 920 have been initiated during the year; 
 but we regret to state that the combined loss to our membership 
 from death, withdravi-al, expulsion and suspension have not been otf- 
 set by the valuable acquisitions by ihitiation. and the new Divisions 
 organized — and we are compelled to report a decrease for the year 
 of 576. The reports from the Deputies, however, are most hopeful, 
 and the inference is that the Divisions sutfering losses (in the ways 
 Just indicated) are taking a new lease of life, and through the com* 
 ing winter their motto will bo — *' Excelsior.' 
 
 The Grand Scribe, in his report, will give you an exhaustive state- 
 ment of the condition of the Order, and you will be impressed with 
 the necessity of renewed diligence in the prosecution of our work. 
 Something must be done at this Session to stimulate our work and 
 enthuse the Subordinate Divisions with ft sense of their privileges 
 and responsibilit}'. 
 
 Let us then take counsel together and go home to work as we 
 have never worked before, liesolve to make the extermination of 
 the traflfic the ** Sabbath and Port" of our labors. Using every effort 
 to arouse the people, and pressing in and in, with even narrowing 
 parallels, until we breach the citadel of " drinkdom,' spike their 
 every gun, and upon their dismantled breastworks plant the stand- 
 ard of our victory. Here, I would remind you, that this great work 
 cannot be done by the Grand Officers or representatives alone. Its 
 accomplishment each member must help to the full extent of ability. 
 The young must be enlisted, the diffident encouraged, the indiffer- 
 ent aroused, the inebriates reclaimed, and to do this there must be 
 united and contintied effort. No Subordinate Division can continue 
 in existence very long after it ceases to initiate new members. — 
 New members are to our Order like new blood to the body — meaning 
 
4i 
 
 H ;l 
 
 
 
 
 new life and vigor. As an Order we cannot, in tlie very nata»-e of 
 thingi, stand still. We must increase or decrease, and if we would 
 do the work at our hands to do. and malce a record worthy of our* 
 selves, we must individually and collectively lai)or for the spread of 
 our principles — gratefully accepting the opportunities, and measur* 
 ing up to the obligations of the liuur. 
 
 DISTRICT DIVISIONS. 
 
 The question of Dlntriet Orf/nnization will come before you thrc ugh 
 the report of the connulttec appointed at our last session. Let the 
 report receive your must paMeut an<l deliberate consideration. Per- 
 sonally I regard it as a muttt important feature of our work. Bring- 
 ing together, as thu orgunizatiuu will do, the workers of the local 
 Divisions, this new curd of fraternal feeling and sympathy will 
 strengthen the Order in its hold upon the general membership. The 
 interchange of views upon the different phases of our woric, will 
 give clearer insight into our needs and duties and strengthen us for 
 their performance. If by the sense of this Grand Body we are com- 
 mitted to District organizations, I have no recommendation other 
 than to request the Representatives and members to assist in mak- 
 ing them successful, not only as regards attendance, but in the dis- 
 semination of the principles of abstinence and prohibition. 
 
 CADKTS OF TEUPARANGK. 
 
 It affords nie great pleasure to refer to the gratifying increase — both 
 in membership and Sections instituted — of the Cadets of Temperance, 
 and this may compensate in a measure for any disappointmHut we may 
 feel at not being as stroni; in numbers as we expected. One of the 
 many duties of a 8on of Temperance is to foster this important auxili- 
 ary of our Order. The importance of training, in temperance and 
 virtue, a nation's children cannot be over estimated. Our Order has 
 always had a warm side for the young ; and it is our duty to ** gather 
 the children," teaching them that which we have learned ourselves, that 
 they trained and beneBtted by our work may, with more wisdom and 
 grace than their fathers, stand in their place in the gates of the future 
 and cluim empire for our cause. ■ 
 
 PK0UIBITI05. 
 
 What we need to-day is not so much enlightenment as action — and 
 that ifi the direction of the utter disccoifiture and exterroination of 
 the drink-evil. The making illegal of a trafBc that entails upon us 
 every year enormous <*xpense; injures the public health; binders the 
 moral and intellectual development of the people ; retards the progress 
 of education, and causes so much pauperism and crime, is in an emi- 
 nent degree a moral and religious duty. Christian fervor, conviction, 
 force and self-aacriHce are necessary to its accomplishment. The peo- 
 ple of Canada have the right to be delivered from this awful and 
 desolating scourge. Let us agitate therefore, and cjutinue the agitation. 
 
until th« people of thii eountrj in the mtjeity of their might thdl Ariie 
 and dfimand, in tonee th»t onnot be roiiunderttood by thoie who make 
 the lawi, the repeal of thoie itatutea which grant for gold the privilege 
 of ruining man in hia bodj* loul, and eatate, under the authority of ao 
 Act in Parliament. Such a voxpopuH will be the vox-dei^ and put an 
 end to the Temperance conflict. The attempt to restrain the liquor 
 traffic in the past by licenie lawa, baa been inadf>quatA and uniatiafao- 
 tory. And public aentiment to-day it rapidly crystallising in favor of 
 ita total iuppresiion. The near future will, f believe, witneii ita utter 
 annihilation. Let ua fling in the face of our foe our defiance of imme- 
 diata and absolute Prohibition. Upon this truth we set up our banner, 
 which, leading on with varying fortune, will in time lead on to 
 oonquering.

 THANKS. 
 
 In ojnclusion, I desire to express my high appreciation of the spirit 
 of oontidence and kindness shown toward me by the Officers and Repre* 
 sentatives cf thai Grand Division, and take this opportunity of express- 
 ing my sense of obligation to all who have so kindly and efficiently 
 rendered roe assistance in the responsible duties pertaining to my office. 
 To-night I return you the emblem of authority with which you iuveated 
 me one year ago, and retire from the office of Grand Worthy Patriarch. 
 The numerous and important duties of ray vocation make this step 
 necessary ; but in the future, as in the past, 1 shall co-operate with you 
 in *' advancing the interests of our Order," fighting for "God and Home 
 and Native-land,'* until in the Providence of God this hidra-headed 
 beast Intemperance is banished from the face of the earth forever.

 BEPOBT OF GRAND SCRIBE. 
 
 The Grand Scribe read his Report as follows : 
 
 Woodstock, October 17th, 1888. 
 
 Orand Worthy Patriarch, Officers and Members : 
 
 We are here to-day in the Forty-first Session of this Grand Division 
 to interchange the greetings of an exalted friendship, to take counsel 
 with each other and devise the best means to promote the interest ef

 this time-honored institution. Through the year just closed, our Order 
 has not advanced with that rapidity which We all should wish, but we 
 should fuel grateful for the work which has been accomplished wh»'n all 
 thiuKS connected therewith are taken into consideration. It is to be 
 regretted that so many Divisions havu failed to forward Returns for 
 the last two quarters, which prHventR me giving the correct standing of 
 the Order. The condition of most of the Divisions is good : t here ar<t 
 sonte that are particularly weak and need immediate attention, if what 
 little life now remaining is not to be permitted' to die out. With pn>i 
 per attention these and many Divisions which have ceased worlting 
 mi^'ht be built op, enew their former vigor, and reiume the place they 
 Once occupied among the noble band of workers to promote the- causd 
 for which we are associated. Since the Semi-Annual Session there 
 have bee 3 four Divisions organized, namely, Blissfield, No. 347, Bam* 
 ford Settlement, Northumberland County ; Tilley, No. 348, Carleton, 
 St. John ; Marysvillf, No. 349, Marysville, York Cuuqty ; Fair View, 
 No. 350, Sunny Brae, Westmorland County. These Divibions have 
 started with a large membership, and will be a great acquisition to our 
 Order, besides being 4 great benefit to the localities in which they are 
 situated. These make the number of Divisions organized during the 
 year ten. 
 
 I have also to report the instituting of the following Sections of Cadets 
 during the year : 
 
 dimphHlJ, No. 5, Richibuc^o; North Star, No. 6, Bathurst; Buc- 
 touche. No. 7. Buctouche; Tilley, No. 8, Carleton. * 
 
 I was in hop(>s of being able to rt>pnrt the instituting of otheir 
 Sections, having been in communication with Dr'puties of Divisions in 
 diffriront parts of this jurisdiction on the subject, and have no doubt 
 that in the near future others will be instituted. Those that have been 
 instituted are working well, and have quite a large membership. 
 
 I am pleased to report that the following Divisions forwarded Re- 
 turns for the quarter ending June 30th :

 Tou will notice a large number of Initiations, but the still larger 
 number of withdrawals, suspensious and expulsions more than balano 
 it. Cannot something be done which will stop the large number of 
 suspensions which appear in every report, and which is a great draw- 
 back to the advancement of the Order in various ways? In the duties 
 of my office, I am brought in correspondence with the Deputies of the 
 different Divisions, and althouch many regret that more work has not 
 been bccomplisbed, sUlI they look forward to better and brighter pros- 
 pects for the future. From many quarters come words of encourage- 
 ment and sympathy, and our ranks are being steadily filled by men of 
 thought and influence who are Awaking u^^ to the fact that they have a 
 duty to perform in assisting to drive from our fair land the demon of 
 int>emperance, who has too long swayed a large portion of the bright 
 and promising: members of society. Our cause is grand and noble in 
 its aims, and should enlist all the energy we possess. Let us there- 
 fore in this the commencement of another year start with a full deter- 
 mination to do all in our po'ver for the advancement of our Order, the 
 success of which depends upon the efforts of the individual members, 
 not only in the Division room but in every place where the work for 
 which we are banded together will be most effectual. In conclusion, 
 allow me to thank all connected with the Order for the uniform kind- 
 ness extended in the performance of the duties of my office, which 
 have been duly appreciated, and I hope this sessioii will be one long to 
 be remembered for the good results which will accrue from it.

 Woodstock, October 18th, 1888. 
 To the Grand Worthy Patri rch : ^ 
 
 Your Appeals Committee beg leave to report as follows : 
 Appeal from Intercolonial Division, dated August let, 18^8. 
 
 Your Committee finds that in this case a member of Intercolonial 
 Division was initiated in Moncton Division without having severed his 
 connection with the first named Division. Your Committee recom- 
 mends in this case that the appeal be sustained, and that the Orand 
 Scribe notify Monc^ton Division that the brother in question cannot be 
 a member of two Divisions at the same time, and that his membership 
 must be counted and considered in the Division i^* v^hich he was first 
 initiated and not in the other. 
 
 A communication dated Hampton, October 15th, 1888, addressed to 
 the Chairman of the Appeals Committee, was placed before your Com- 
 mittee, but as the communication was not signed by any one and is not 
 in the nature of an appeal, your Committee recommends that no further 
 notice b« taken of it at present.

 DISTRICT DIVISION'S REPORT. 
 
 Grand Worthy Patriarch, Officers and Members : 
 
 The Committeo appointed at the Semi- Annual Session to consider 
 the qiiPdtion of establishing District Divisions, hc^ld a meeting, and after 
 caretully examining the Constitution and By-Laws connected therewith, 
 and perusing letters received by the Grand Scribe from prominent 
 members of the Order relating thereto, respectfully report : 
 
 That the Committee is of the opinion that District Divisions should 
 be organized throughout tbis jurisdiction. 
 
 It recommends that the Grind Worthy Patriarch and Grand Scribe 
 district the Province, and that District Divisions be chartered wherever 
 It gal applications are made therefor. 
 
 The Per Capita Tax now received by the Gr»»nd Division from Snb- 
 ordinatu Divisions is seven cents per bead per quarter, of which two 
 cents is allowed each Division to be expended on local propagation 
 work. 
 
 The Committee recommends that said two cents now allowed, be in 
 future paid to District Divisions. This will be in lieu of the tax pro- 
 vided by Rule XI of the Constitution of District Divisions.

 Resolved, That the Report be laid on the table until after the instal- 
 lation of the Officers. 
 To the Grand Worthy Patriarchy Officers and Members : ' 
 
 As per Constitution we beg leave to submit the following Report of 
 York District Division, No. 1 : 
 
 Ac a meeting of Representatives of the several Divisions of York 
 County, called by the Grand Worthy Associate, it was thought advis- 
 able to organize a District Division, with a view to the strengthening 
 of the Subordinate Divisions in the County and the placing of new 
 branches of the Order wherever possible in this jurisdiction. Applica- 
 tion was made to the Grand Worthy Patriarch for a dispensation to 
 allow us to work legally until the session of the Grand Division, when 
 we hoped the said body would grant us the necessary authority for con- 
 tinuing the work. Tim Dispensation was received and was placed 
 before the District Division at a subsequent meeting, at which session 
 the Constitution and By-Laws were adopted and the Officers for the 
 year appointed. 
 
 As yet we are not able to report anything in the way ot (iuaucial 
 work, as tht* Jlrst regular meeting was held but two weeks ago. 
 

 All active DiviaioDi in the juriidiotinn are in hearty sjrmpathy with 
 the movement, and all feel that the District Division will be a great 
 help to our Subordinate I»ivision(i, by bringing about a united effort 
 and creating a mutual interest in the work of our Order. 
 
 Steps were being taken for the resuscitation of Poquiock Division, 
 but owing to the rt^cent severe storms it was found to be impossible to 
 do anjthtng before the session of the Orand Division. 
 
 The District Officers are now endeavoring to organise Divisions at 
 Mactnaquac and in Stanley, and in several other locahtips. 
 
 When It is again in order to present a report to the Grand Division, 
 we trust that our eflorts will havA been cMwned with such success ss 
 will prove the practical value of District Divisions in New Brunswick.

 To the Officers and Members of the Grand Division of the Province of 
 New Brunswick : 
 
 Your Committee on the State of the Order beg to submit the follow- 
 ing Report : 
 
 1. Your Committee notes with satisfaction that the funds available 
 for the purposes of this Division are in such a healthy condition that 
 Urge possibilities of propagation and other work are within the reach 
 of the Order, and fortunately we have reached a position in which the 
 income of the Division is more than sufBcient to meet the expenses of 
 work carried on in the line of the efforts of previous years.

 2. Your Cummiitee cannot fail to note the fact that tbia Diviaioii, 
 with I«68 than 6,000 n)»'rob«rB. lifa adjacent to the juriadiction of it 
 MiDiilar ci'KaniKation in Nuva Hcotia enrulling over 16,000 memht<ra ; 
 and would recommend a careful consideration of the methods of work 
 pursued hy i ur iSister Diyision if Nova iScutia and imitation uf the 
 lines of effort there in vogue, in <<rdfr that a like efiurt here put furth 
 may produce a like result in this Province. 
 
 3. Your Comroittpp commends the activity of the Grand Worthy 
 Patriarch and Grand Hcribe in visiting the Subordinate Divisionis 
 throughout thnjurisdiotiun. and would urge upon the Grand Division 
 Officers generally the desirability of frequent visits on their part. 
 
 4. Your Committee would approve of the action of the Grand 
 Worthy Patriarch in graating u dispensation for the establishment cf 
 York District Division, and would recommend to the Grand Division 
 that a careful consideration of the principles and practice connected 
 with such Divisious throughout the jurisdiction, take place. 
 
 5. Your Committee strongly recommend that a more systematic 
 fffort bn put forth to establish the Order of Cadets of Temperance 
 throughout the Province, and notes with satisfaction that four Sectiont 
 of CadHts have been organized. 
 
 6. Your Committee draws attention to the fact that notwitbstandf 
 ing ten Divisions have been 'opened during the year, a decrease of 676 
 members is recorded as the numerical summary for the past twelve 
 months. Also that the number of members belonging to Divisioos bub- 
 
 ?nnded last year is 758. Had it been possible to continue those 
 Nvisinns in ezisteoce a slight increase in our membership would be 
 shown. 
 
 7. Your Committee would therefore eamt^stly recommend to the 
 Grand Division that seme new departure for the coming year be in- 
 augurated, looking towards a more systematic and it is hoped a more 
 fruitful effort in the line of keeping up the Subordinate Divisions at 
 present existing and establishment of new Subdivisions, and in the 
 opinion of your Committee it would be more satisfactory to have a paid 
 Lecturer and Organizer in connection with the Grand Division, to whom 
 a substantial salary could be paid, rather than as at present, the fundi 
 be bandied by local Committees, with the unaatiafactory results shown 
 during the last few years.
