upon the influence they throw around the
community at large, We deem it expedient
to acquaint the minds of those who are not
familiar with our objects and motives. Or
ders, Societies and Governments, are institu-
ted for the purpose of making a united eff
fort in given direction. 1t is well estab-
lished fact what one person can't accomplish
a greaeer number can, Othee things being
equal: hence great efforts are brought about
by the concerted action of those who have
the interest of any enterprise at heart. Men
who have to earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow, are In a measure dependent
upon those who are in like circumstances:
men who are identified among this class need
the sympathy, protection and advise of
others to bear them through the Unforeseen
difficulties which they have to encounter
while battling through this life: therefore we
as laboring men form ourselves into one
strong band united with the strongest ties
of industry, to advance and assist those who
are worthy to fill an important position, and
are left to walk around without the sympa-
thy and cares that belong to race of peo-
pie, and others with their hands idle until
they are compelled by the pangs of nature to
commit some rash act that does not only
bring upon him the Indignation of the law,
but an indellible stain upon the unreproach-
reputation of those who are dependetn upon
him; while if he had had anyone whose
obligations forced them to administer to his
welfare, he might have shuned all of the
troubles that are at no time among!the num-
Der belonging to this society, for there are
always more or less vacancies known of 10y
them and would be glad to if it was in ac-
cordance with their obligations, to secnre it
for a member who was identified with them.
1t is we'll established fact, that unions of
similar organizations are carried on through
out the world, that have listened to ceremo-
MES, which have caused very beneficial re-
suits 1t is fixed fact we'll known to those
who are familiar with the history of any
nation or any organized body, that where
benevolence most prevails civilization most
abounds; the'latter follows the former as in
cvitable as effect follows cause, thus being
without doubt true. Then should not every
lover of industry strive to promote the COM
fort aud happiness of his fellOw-man both
present and future? While this is only few
of the good results that may be derived from
an organized body of this kind, and there
are many more that might be spoken of.
Governments are formed by uniting a num-
Der of persons under one form or code of law.
Il
uniting to accomplish a certain object or to
attain desired ends. TWAS intended from
the beginning that man should be social
being, he must have society and be the COM
pany of his fellow man, or he will drift in
to barbarism and heathenism. Men are
created intelligent beings, civilization, art,
science and culture, comes only from a
united effort therefore we have formed our
selves into one solid band, linked together by
the strongest ties of industry, and we take for
our motto: Truth and Union. Union is de-
vine attribute, which is the foundation of
every virtue; to be good and true to each other
is what we obligate ourselves to do, being in
fuenced by this principle envoy, and discen-
ton will be unknown to us, but sincerity and
brotherly love will distinguish us, and our
tongues will ever send forth utterances for
promotion, and our hearts will be enraptured
in each others prosperity. Union is that
principle which is so essential for the success
of any enterprise, and will discriminate our
action and spread the cement of brotherly
love and protection, and establish for us an
untarnished reputation of our past transact
ions. To the unworthy our doors are ever
closed, but to the worthy the invitation is
ever extended. Come and sojourn with us,
and be benefited by the sacred instruction
and good council that you will receive from
those who style themselves the X. of I. OF !

The Trustees, Board of Directors and ID.
G. NJ. are to be elected on the evening of the
26, by order of the Grand Lodge.
The Captains Council will meet We'd
nesday evening, the 14th inst. for business
in the /, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, and z, degrees. Mem
bers wanting degrees will appear at that
meeting with their petitions signed by the

1t would be we'll for the members to ask
for the general law, rules and regulations Of
the Immaculates, and thereby keep them
selves posted. BY so doing you would be Of
much benefit in your lodge meetings. Ask
for the law, and you can have it.
Members desiring benefits when they are
sick must notify the G. NJ. at once, if they
are absent from their own Lodge, and get
their papers stating that they are in good
standing. You can then receive benefits
from the Lodge nearest to you, and the said
Lodge shall send in bill to the Lodge of
which you are member for the same.
The reinstatement of the Queen Esther
Court is strengthening the lodge quite forci-
bly,. While the work, as yet has never been
properly presented to the ladies, still it
seems to have had its good aspect, which
has never lost its power, and the ladies are
ready and willing to become part of the
Immaculate body at the earliest possible op-
portunity. The brethren are hard at work
making all the necessary arrangements, so
that it may be established on solid foun-
dat'on.
The Grand Masters communication is to
the effect that he or his deputy will be here
at an early date to organize the protein. into
a lodge, and to give us lecture in the new
work. Take notice and govern yourselves
accordingly, and present yourselves at the
captains council at the time stated in the
above. because, if Greek must meet Greek
the council members must be on their p's
and as Don't forget the important business
of Monday, June r. Turn out in full, and
we will have a good meeting. r. ]. j.
