The beauty of the principles of Freemasonry ap peal to all of us, as they did to our first members, and we know that the practice of those principles could not fail to make them better men and better citizens. As we review their labors in an appreciative way, let us also be animated by their spirit of fra ternity and give to all of them, great or humble as they may have been, the meed of praise that is their due who in any degree helped to maintain the tradi tions of the craft and make the history of Lodge No. 2.
We commence with the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va., which ended the British attempt to conquer America and insured independence. The English Ahiman Rezon was not suited to our needs.
