PAST GRAND MASTER M. P. BERRY'S GENEROSITY.
I have recently received official notification from the Board of
Directors of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home of a very pleasing trans-
action, and quote the action of the Board of Directors in explanation
thereof .
Brother James Henry Harris was instructed to draft a suitable
resolution relative to the generous and useful gift of $500.00 for the
Berry Memorial Library by Past Grand Master M. P. Berry; and
Brother J. W. Birney is to have the resolution engrossed, then it is
to be placed with the: picture of the new cottage, both picture and
resolution to be framed and a copy spread on the minutes of this
Board.
Resolution presented by Brother James Henry Harris
"Hon. M. P. Berry, P.G.M., Carthage, 111.
Dear Sir and Brother:—The Board of Directors of the Odd Fellows'
Orphans' Home appreciate with the entire Order that whatever
adds to the beauty and excellence of the Orphans' Home, correspond-
ingly increases the Fraternal reputation of the Order that maintains it.
It is with this thought in view, that the Board of Directors, as rep-
resentatives of the Order,, in this connection, desires' to express to
you its appreciation for your magnificent donation of a Library, which
not only will be a source of great usefulness, but bespeaks the gener-
ous character of the donor.
In directing that these words be placed upon record of the Board
of Directors and that the same be engrossed, framed and presented to
you, we realize that we inadequately express the sincerity of our
feelings.
Yours very fraternally,
CHARLES W. REISER, Chairman,
JOHN W. BIRNEY, Secretary.
