mittee failed to have Il meeting. Even

down to future generations as another

An illustration of the false doctrine of
/ soma lodges, in paying beneffts Tor only

the plan is wrong. Here IS q brother
sick and in distress; his lodge pays him
benefits for thirteen weeks ana no more.

little savings are gone, and he fnds thai
at the expiration of the thirteen weeks he
/ is thrown on The world penniless. and, no
benefits coming in from the lodge, he then
4 becomes a case Of charity, and can onlY
depend on his brothers TO help him per-
sonally- Now, brothers, do You think
this plan is rights Does not man re-
| uuire more attention and money after
thirteen weeks than he did beforef II
! you tnink he does, then go at yoiir by
| laws and amend them so that a sick ben
| eft shall be paid every week during
