THE IMMACULATES
And Knights of the Temple of
Industry.
Silver Queen Lodge, No. 1O7, of the
10. I. in F. L. and II.

We take pleasure in calling the attention
OF our members to the Leader, as In il will
be found every week a column in the inter-
est of the Immaculate order. We have
adopted this method for the purpose of no
tifying the members from time to time, of
the various meetings of their lodge, and 10
enable visitors to know the time and place;
and it will be the means of keeping us all
informed as to the general movements and
condition of the order, both at home and
abroad If the members will only take
copy of the paper weekly, they will always
know the nights of meeting and the business
The Leader will contain in the next issue,
communication from the celebrated Dr. VIM
A. Hadley, of Nashville, Tenn, Supreme
Grand Master OF the |. o. |. of the United
States and territories.
The Immaculates have protein body
and are making members at a low rate
There will be new set of officers, and two
lodges in flying colors here at an early date
The Queen Esther court is to be rein
stated at once, and all the members that
have paid in some time ago, will send
in their names to the lodge on the 18th day,
second Monday, of this month, so that their
names can receive credit for the amount
paid. We request of the old officers TO SUBJ
nit at that meeting the oil of names. The
members will take notice that on the 18th of
this month we shall elect the delegates to
represent the Silver Queen at Chattanooga,
Tenn, on the 5, 6, 7 and 8th of July, 'S2.
Bear in mind, the election of your officers
will take place on the same night. Let all
turn out and speak once for all. The regu-
lar meeting nights will be on the IL and 26,
the second and fourth Mondays. 1t is ear
nestly desired that the old 107 stand head
and shoulders with the other lodges of the
fraternity, and if We keep the true Prinsi
Piles of Fidelity, Love and Charity properly
before the good people of indianapolis,
and prove by practices of virtue and moral
ity, that we are qualified to teach modera-
ton, forbearance, pity, religion and love to
to bring together the latent powers of mind.
Therefore let us put our thoughts into prac-
tice and place our sacred principles alOst in a
conspicuous place, so that the uninitiated
may acquaint themselves with the impor-
tance of receiving brotherly kindness and
mutual protection against fraud and i'm
position. We should, one and all, unite to-
gether and work for the accomplishment of
this desired end, and you who are sleeping
away your time in misery and eternal ruin,
awake to sense of your duty, and remem-
Der your obligations before it is altogether
too late. 1t is with no small degree of graf
itude that the grand lodge members have
dealt with old Silver Queen for nearly three
years, and l am sorry to say that with all
the kind favors they have shown the old 107,
there are some of her members who seem to
think that not only the Immaculate order, of
which they are members, should administer
to their wants, whether they work for the
order or not, but that the entire world owes
them living whether they work or play,
and at all times they are ready to put on
the regalia of industry, that they may be
recognized as faithful workers in the sacred
bond of oru brotherhood.
But my brethren, you must remember
that many eyes are upon you, and if you do
moi unite your power and influence to that
of your brethren your fellowship with them
will shortly end. They will treat you as a
drone bee by disowning your name, and will
cut you loose from that lofty place and let
you fall into everlasting despair. 1t would
be well for you to consider these things and
count the cost at the proper time You have
contributed some of your means to this no.
BILE order, and there is no way for you to get
it back nnless you remain faithful worker
with the rest of the brethren. Remembe the
words that have often rung in your ears
"How sweet and how pleasant it is for breth-
rem to dwell together Is it not a pleasant
sensation to have brother of your Lodge
watch at your bedside when you are racked
with pain and bodily suffering, to sympa-
thize with you in mental affections, to main
tain you when you are disabled, to sustain
and cheer you in the fearful hour of death
to relieve and support the widow and or.
phans you may leave in cold heartless
world without other protection; are these
things worthy of your study, or. are you be-
| come so lost to every virtue that you do no
regard your obligation? You may have for
| gotten this, but the time will come wher
| YOU will remember them all.
