To the members of the Ladies' Society I send sisterly and fraternal greetings, with the hope that the Christmas season may be one of deepest joy to them. When Christmas morning breaks we will hear in the chiming of the bells that glad message brought by the angels upon the birth of our King. "Peace Upon Earth, Good Will Toward Men." May the first word ring so clear and strong, that "Peace" will reign not only in our minds and hearts, but in our lodges throughout the year. Oh, that the impressions might be so lasting that other times and other years will only increase the strength of that glad note-Peace. Looking forward is one of the fountains at which we drink hope and vigor. To the discouraged and weak lodges, I bid you look forward with courage, and may strength and inspiration come to you with the New Year. Another twelve months are counted and before we come again to talk with you the year 1914 will be closed. This month brings to us the opportunity of selecting a new set of officers for the ensuing year. It is a duty we owe to ourselves and to our lodge to give this part of the year's work careful consideration. Those should be selected who we think will best discharge the responsibilities of the various offices, regardless of preference or prejudice for the weal or woe of our lodge's success and harmony very largely depends on the leaders. Words fail me in which to express all the good wishes which dwell in my heart, and which I would rejoice to see fulfilled for each of you individually, and for the Society at large. I think the time will come, when wherever there is a B. of L. F. and E. lodge there will be found a Ladies' Society lodge and in order to speed that happy day, we should each put our shoulder to the wheel, and let our B. of L. F. and E. brothers see by our work and conduct, what a happy and glorious thing is this organization of ours. Let us forget private quarrels and troubles when we enter the lodge room, and do all in our power to promote the welfare and prosperity of the Society. Dear sisters, I don't want you to think these are words only. Let us take them to our hearts, let us feel that our beloved Sisterhood makes us better women both in this life, and for the life to come. |
