The meetings always closed in Love, Purity and Fidelity. (The old minute book from which this information was taken dates back to 1880. It was used as a scrap book and is now in the possession of Mrs. Floyd Caseley, Wilmot Valley. It was her great grandfather Mr. Thomas Schur- than who presided at many of the meetings of the Division).
Excelsior Division met intermittently for the next forty years but records are not available. When it was re—organized in 1926 the original name was retained but the number was changed to 266. The roll call con- tinued to be a list of officers rather than the names of the members and vacant offices were always filled before the meeting started. Temperance readings were still an important part of the program and one debate was held. The rather daring subject was “Resolved that women are more pro- gressive than men in this community”.
