Excerpt from Fortieth Annual Communication of the Grand Encampment, I. O. O. F. Of Indiana: Held in Indianapolis, Nov. 15th, 1887 I greet you, Patriarchs, under most favorable circumstances; the Patri archal branch of our Order is on the crest of the wave of prosperity, our altars are lighted, and the word is Let the fires be kept burning. The net increase in this jurisdiction, for the year ending June 30th, was about 600; this is fully 100 per cent. Greater than the preceding year, and I have reason to believe that our increase will be greater yet in the next year, if the same ratio of increase is maintained, and, judging from the indications Of the last five months, there is every reason to think it will. During the year, I have written at least two personal letters to each District Deputy Grand Patriarch in the jurisdiction, and have also written many letters to Officers Of Encampments. I have endeavored to infuse new life and blood into our Encampments; this I have done cheerfully and with. My whole heart, and if I have accomplished any good, I am amply repaid. Below I submit a report of my acts during the year that you have honored and trusted me with the helmsmanship of this Grand Encampment.
