thanks for the kindness and courtesy shown me during the

tects for the kind attention shown this Convention.

seau, Mr. Wood, Mr. Woodruff, Mr. Helmich and Mr. Whee-

MR. WHEELOCK'S SPEECH.
Mr. President and Gentlemen :
The second annual conclave of our Chapter is about closing. I am
happy to say that all of meetings have been pleasant and harmonious
and I trust profitable to all, the recollection of which will ever be a green
spot in our memory, and as the wheels of time roll on and the shadows
grow deeper and life draws to its close, it will then be pleasant for us to
look back through the vista of time and call to mind the reminiscences
of this event, then let us so shape our lines on the trestle-board of life,
that when the grand "Architect of the universe" shall call upon us to
exhibit specimens of our skill, our work may be found good work and
true work ; such work as He is willing to receive. Then, indeed, shall
we be entitled to enter that "house not made with hands" eternal in the
heavens, and have our names enrolled on the tablet of heaven in letters of
gold, bright, glorious and beautiful, for the good work of the true archi-
tect that he leaves behind will ever be as legible as the stars on the brow
of the evening, and his good deeds will ever shine as brightly on the
earth as the stars of heaven, and his good influence will silll [still] live when
granite columns have crumbled into dust, and the glitter of titled aristo-
cracy has forever faded away. In conclusion, gentlemen, we thank you,
one and all, for your presence, and when you leave us to go to your vari-
ous homes, you will take with you the good wishes and godspeed of a
grateful people.
Upon motion of Mr. Wheelock the Convention adjourned to
reassemble at ten o'clock, P. M., at the banquet hall. | 40THE SOUTHERN CHAPTER, A. I. A. 37
