M., to compile in convenient form some data concerning the organization and accomplishments of the Lodge, and some brief record of the brethren who guided the association in the pioneer days of its existence. The fiftieth anniversary of the birth of 188 has been deemed a fitting occasion for such a record and a committee consisting of Brothers Wilber Walker, Thos. I. Miller and Chas. X. Walter have compiled the booklet herewith presented and offer it for the information of Masons in general and Oakland Lodge Xo. 188 in particular. The committee desire to thank the members for their co-operation and assistance, especially those who furnished the pictures of our brethren, many of whom have gone to their eternal reward. It is to be hoped that those who receive this publication will not "view it with a critic's eye, but will pass its imperfections by." In these days of strife and misunderstanding, when even Civilization itself seems to be on trial, may it not be a relief to consider for a brief season a few records of those divine tenets of our beloved Order : Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, and above all Charity, the cap stone of the Masonic Arch ?
