its second century, full of life, vigerand hope.
It is highly gratifying te thoelllcors of ledgo

by Its members in this meeting and se many
brethren are here te participate in Its exer

furnished hall, n well tilled exchequer, and a
standing second te none in the jurisdiction of
the grand ledgo of Pennsylvania.
A century age when Ledgo Na 41 was
organized, our country had just passed
through the thrilling events or the Itovolu Itevolu Itovelu
tlon. Twe years belore, In 1783, the Con
tinental army v us disbanded, nnd en the
flrst rollef meuthers of this ledgo are the
names of iho&e w he joined in the war for
independence. Our beloved Itrother Gen
.oral Washington, took his seat as president
of the United States four years after this
lodce vaseruanbed. The federal censtitu-
. -. tlen became the law of the new republic of
me united Mtaies, in urn. seiuai warrant ei
Ledge 4.1?, Is four years elder than the consti
tution of our nation.
Its century of oxisteficeis full of Masonic
history, and n record of Its struggles and
triumphs would maken volume. It passed
safely through the anti-Masonic period, when
ignorance, superstition, jealousy and tin
charitableness waged a cruel Mar against at
order founded en Truth, Justice, Toleration.
Brotherly Leve,-Churity, and n linn and full
belief in the existencoefa riuprome Uelng,
and threw our country into a political revolu
tion that lilted antl-MasoniceIliccrslntn places
ofthehighost rank and power In the state.
It has numbered among itsmembcrs many
of every degree and station in lire. A presl
dent of the United States, a governor, a
United States senator, a judge of the supceme
court, ministers te reielgn countries, mayors,
and many ether of the mast prominent citi
zens of eur.beautiful and prosperous inlard
city, have steed In the worshipful master's
station in the cast, and with justice and equity
ruled a ledgo or which ic might 1k truly
said:
"We meet upon the level, though from every
Htatlen ionic,
The rich man from hi pulaec and the peer man
fiomhlaheme;
Fer tbe rlih tmiHtlriive his wealth ami state, out-
dlde the Masen' deer,
And the peer nun tltuU his best rejpect, upon

A sketch or the history or the ledgo will La
given by Brether Geergo It. Welchans, P. II.,
and te this I lmlte your attention, knowing
that the account no win reauei uioneuuio
events in the lfa or the ledge, will be both
instructive and interesting.
I trust, tee, that all Iho exercises or the
afternoon, and the banquet that fellows this
evening, w ill be fully enjoyed by overy one.
And new, with the hearty wish that the
close of the second century, will UildXodge

blessings ei our beloved fraternity may widen
as "the thoughts of men are widened with

The ledgo pased through many trials and
difficulties, nud it was only in the latter third
orthe century that she became prosperous
nud nble te extend the practical charity for
which she is justly noted. In 1820 te 1822
she took the initial steps In a rofenn move
ment in this jurisdiction, which -shook the
very foundation of the Masonic structure In

in much geed te tlie craft.
In 1828 te 1838, she passed through Ihoantl--Masenlc
craze, and although her Influence
and usefulness was far ntlme arrested, and
for a period or twenty months no meetings
could be held, yet she came through this
fiery ordeal unscathed, ami from this date
acquired rcnovved vigor, which seen led te
her nge of prasperity. All honor te tl'O
brethren who upheld the ledgo through thee
trying tlmes. With unwearying devotion
they anxiously watched its flickering spark
