It is customary when a member of tho LooVn has Ix'en in eood BtivmliiiR for a period of fifty years or more to present lilm with a hmno of honor. 1 he recipient ol tins honor, which rarely fulls to any member of tho Order, was at this titno bestowed uiion our worthy brother and friend, William Hood, l.u'i., who hits passed his eighty third birthday, and will have been a member of this lodce three score years on September next, having been initiated September l.'t. 1V1. lie is the oldest memler of this lodo now living. The badec of honor consists of a 14 karat, solid gold jewel. representinK the globe, with the wont "I'niversal," on a scroll extending across tho same.

Initiated September 13. lS.il. Pennsylvania 63." This last number in dicating that this is but the fifty-third badge of the kind issued to members of the Order in this State. S. IX Irwin, K-X1.. made the following presentation speech, which was briefly replied to by Mr. liood: Nobi.k Grand, Vici Grand, OrFiccas AMD MRMBKHS: II is fitting upon an occasion of this kind. to Rive a akotoh of ths worthies that insti tuted Tlotuwta Lodge 369, on June 21, lSViO, the beginning of summer, and the longest day In the rear, as they were the brothers and comrades, of our honored member of the old hx'ge we are pleased to honor to ntgut, and wno 1 nelleve is the ouly sur vivor of the original brotherhood, William Hood. The first noble graud James Solley a Justice of the peaoe. He was a tall son of Anak, with a Roman noee and com manding figure. V . W. Hulings waa the first vice grand and a model man in all the walks of life. Alex. Hllands was the first secretary, a man of much force of character and well known an up and down tne creek, who finally went to California with his brothers Jake and William and who died in the far went. After the first officers were Installed James Gordon, D. P. Bailey, Dr. Wilburn Whitley, then a young physician of promise, who in his day was a splendid member as he learned the wnote ritual or the Order, hau a splendid memory and could stand up clean-heeled and without a book repeat erery part of the ritual, au accom plinhmeut I believe ouly accomplished by one a little later by the earnest, energetio Samuel H. Haslet, whose memory we all delighted to honor. James Gordon became a famous lumberman. Ullam Alckvlnley the canny Scotchman joined on that day. He afterwards migrated to New Jersey, and died there represeuting his county in the legislature. Then there was Tom O. Morgan who was admitted on card from old Venagno Lodge. Tom was a shoemaker by trade and he wielded the pen of a ready writer. He was short and rather equally in appearance, but at times looked very wise. John N. Hllands of happy memory joined on that same day on which Aaron B. Koot became a memoer 01 tut sappy ana enlightened band. Charles Uoleman came up from the flats where his forefathers had settled shortly after the Kerolulion and be came one of the brethren, at the same time Joseph G. Dale came into ramp. In De cember InW.W. W. Hulings was made noble grand, Joseph G. Dale secretary and A. Purdy, J. Gordon and John N. Uilaods trustees. Amtey Paidy was an early set tlers on the creek, and much beloved. One speaker, whoee name I will Dot not now mention, said 01 mm, wnen in nts om nays he was a candidate for associate ludire. that everybody ought to rote for Amsey Purdy as he was acquainted with Tionesta creek when it was a small stream when be first saw m and he prophesied then that It was the making of a big creek some day. Among the charter members were three uncles of mine, 11. H , Selden T., and Wil liam W. May, the latter took a very active part In those early meotings, was secretary of the pioneer lodge at the time of his death on April IS, 18.M, waa burled in what is now Riverside cemetery beside many of bis brethren of tne mystic tie, and the monu ment thai marks his grave bears the legend, "Beloved by all who knew him," fitting tribute to a noble officer. Samuel II. Has let was one of the early and efficient mem bers, a man whom all members of the Or der delighted U honor. A. B. Root was elected noble grand in April, 1KV. He was a sreal reader of current events nntil he died in the west a few years ago full of honor. Montgomery Millord was secretary at this time. The lodge was first held in a building known as the May tiros'. Store House, which stood on the bank ol the Al legheny river between where Kev. Feit now lives and the building belonging to J. T. Pale. In February, 1&6, this room was abandoned because the lodge In oonneclion with the school directors built a new hall on the hill on the site of lbs old school house, the Odd Fellows reserving the second story for a lodge room, while the lower story was used for school purposes. They occupied theee) qnsrters until April, I V'T. when the Order sold their interest In the building for the sum of I WO to the school board, and on May Id, IS.7, the lodge cliwni finally and shortly alter surrendered to lbs Grand Ixklge their charter and rec ords, tins building Is the same now owned by brother W. 11. Hood. This was a dark period Indeed in Its Malory, but like the tshltai bird, the l'noenlx, it rose from its aslivs. on 6pUiiulNr 'M. 17:1, with Mike 1 1 il as noble Uraud, W, U. Dunn secretary.

This brings np the history of the lodge sumoienlly near tor present purposes, many have sons to other states, many have cross ed the great divide but we honor their memories. "Seek no further their merits to disclose Or draw their frailties from their blessed abode, There they alike In trembling hope repose ! The bosom of their father and their God. " It would take too long to enumerate them all. but of the old guard only oue remains, William flood, who for DO years has been an honored member of ths order, and dur ing all this time a devoted deolple of ths principles or Friendship, liove and Truth. Let us turn back the wheels of time, and try lo see what be saw. Melhtnks I see them now as in a vision or a dream. I see In memory's glass as It were reflected ths past, we see their old familiar faces onoe again, met lo the old halls, and regard those old lodge rooms as sbrlues, we bear their familiar happy greetings onoe more, the cheerful laugh, we caunot persuade our selves that we shall see them no more, The last survivor of ihe old lodge, who we all delight to honor here to ulght, who was often In their assemblages sues them as dead, whose dust be helped cover with flowers, He saw them part from their lov ed ones and brethren, He has seen them at their homes also at the public meetings, on the streets, He saw them In their dally walks, when their bair was black as the ravens wing, and again when il was white as snow, and when their bodies were laid to rest in this beautiful Allegheny Valley, and when the wives and weeping children stood In the sunlight of the bright summer afternoons of the past, placing those tokens of affection, flowers over those last resting places, A II this Is no dream to our honored brother, bat Is a vivid reality, wrought Indelibly on memory's tablets, soenes that with him shall never fade away or be ef faced, Truly he can say with the Psalmist "I have been young and now I am old and many changes have passed before me," Our treat American novelist Cooper wrote the teautiful, fanciful tale, The last of the Mo hegans, Hulwer wrote The Last of the Herons, How suggestive, here we have with us the last of the old lodge, when our Order was In Its comparative lufancy over half a century ago, who through a long life has sustained the banner of Friendship, Love aud Truth, What a noble record of which any man might be proud. He through all these long years has been a re spected, sealous aud worthy member of our noble Order, as It Is written "An Israelite Indeed In whom there is no guile," He has seen the old lodge grow, out of weak ness made strong, Can say to the world In the language of ihe great poet of our Order, James Montgomery, "Where Friendship, Love and Truth abouud, A mong a band of brothers, The cup of Joy goes gaily round, Kch feels the Jos of others, 'Tie thus down life's thorny path, All through the vale of sorrow, The Hower that hangs lis bead today, Will gaily bloom tomorrow, How grand In age, how wise In youth, Is holy Friendship, Love and Troth." A Tionesta minister on last Sunday eve- niug preached on the beautiful text of the Shepherd Psalm, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my lire," gave the beautiful thought, "It is said that those sailing on the sea before crossing a certain line think of those whom tbey have left behind them, but after pars ing that line they think solmaly of those who have gone before, so It Is In the voyage of life, We look for the grand eternal re union," Yonr fame and merit as a brother is not confined to narrow ltmtM or Tionesta Lodge, by them you are regarded as an ora cle aud counselor, In sbort as a grand old man, so I present to you In their name this memento of their love and esteem, knowing that you will wear it over a be rt that has been, and always will be, true as the needle to the pole to Ibe cardinal principles of our Order, MR. ROOD'S BBSPONSB. Nobi.r Grand, Vu Grand, Officers AMD BROTHERS How can I express my appreciation of eucn love aod friendship as baa here been demonstrated by you, iny worthy brothers, for one ol your stroogeet ad herents or the truth as held by this noble organisation. Words fail to portray Ibe true feelings of my heart as I attempt to give utterance to what I wish I could ssv upon this occasion. Thank too does not seem strong enough, but I caonot say anything more than a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart. Such friendship is indeed golden. It is not merely the worth of this beautiful pre ent that louche my heart, although that of itself is no small item, bot it Is the love that bas promoted its giving that touches rue deeply. it is not the thing of beauty that I think about, as I look upon it, but it is the sincere friendship and the constant love of yon who bavs contributed so generouely towards Its purchase. It is you, yourselves, I appre ciate, for "The gift without the giver is bare." This beautiful present represents vou, my brothers, and it Is you I cherish. It is for your sake I take it and consider it one of the ricbeet treasures it bas been my good fortune to possess. So again and again I ssv, thank you. For almost three score years I have kept step with thoee whose motto has been "Friendship, Love and Truth." As long as health would permit my attend ing regularly, but tew meetings were ever missed by me. And not only thsL but to me our motto bss not only been "Friendship, Love and Truth" within the walls or our lodge room, but its senti ment has been so deeply burned aod graven on pjy heart that always and at all limes has it been carried out by me, upon all occasions. And. as the golden sun is setting and I see, just beyond a little way, my frail barque touching the golden strands or eternity, may toe truin that makes men free shine brighter and better on the love and friendship that bas bound our hearts logelber tbeee many years.
