Masonic Aid Association

If volume of business be accepted as an index,
then the cry of Hard times" could have had
no place i'll the vocabulary of the officers and
agents of the Northwestern Masonic Aid Asso-
citation, of Chicago, Ills, during the year clos
ing with October, 1894. The new business
written during that time exceeded that of the
preceding fiscal year SO, SIC, 900. That hard
times have, nevertheless, been decidedly in
evidence during the whole of this period else
where needs 10 reminder, and abe logical in
ference is, that the causes for the really re-
markable result in this instance will be found
in the sterling qualities of the Association or
its system or both.
The Association long and honorable career
and the steady adherence of its management,
at the head of which is Jumes A. Stoddard, the
prime mover in its organization, to conserya-
tive, strict business principles has earned for
this institution the deserved confidence OF all
who are familiar with its history. This alone,
however, would hardly sufficiently account for
the popular approval with which the Associa-
ton has been so markedly favored, as any one
endeavorng to make Il Iudicious selection of
life insurance will find by an intelligent study
of its Low-Rate, Absolute-Security Plan, which
is made SO prominent Il feature of its adver-
tsement as will be observed by reference to
our advertising columns. We will have occa-
sion to speak of the company and Its excellent
plan more fully in the near future.

note in this death the passing away of one of
the few remaining types Of the 'old days.
AUNT Henry" as she was universally known
in her neighborhood, was loved and esteemed
by all who knew her. Exceptionally bright
and intelligent, her pleasant face and cheerful
voice was welcomed alike in the abodes of
rich and poor, who recognized and appre-
ciated her many virtues and excellent quail
ties of heart and mind. Her illness was short
and sudden, only lasting four days, and her
death bed was soothed and ministered to ten
derby by the children whom she had known and
loved from their birth with an affection equal
ly warm and tender as that accorded her own
child. Peacefully she fell asleep in Jesus
in full assurance of blissful immortality, la,
mented by all who knew her. She was buried
on Saturday afternoon at the Forge Church,
and the very large attendance at the funeral
of her friends both white and colored. testified
eloquently to the appreciation and estimation
in which she was held. r.
