1.-The Department Commander, in conclusion,
desires TO call attention TO the fact that within
the State OF Minnesota less than one-half Of
those who served with US during the late war
are members of the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lic The field for recruiting is large, and the
time to muster these good and true men who
wore The blne into the Grand Army was never
more favorable than at the present. Let every
comrade do bis utmost TO bring these comrades
into our Order, that il may be increased numeri-
cally and strengthened in true comradeship.
The Commander also calls attention to the fact
that 900 comrades are now on the suspended
list. This condition of affairs should not be
permitted to continue. Post Commanders are
requested to examine the list Of suspended and
dropped members carefully, and appoint COM
mittees to visit former comrades and urge upon
them TO again become members. In cases OF
misfortune or infrmity, show that charity
which is one of our cardinal principles, and re-
NIT their dues, and if they have been dropped
restore them to the privileges of the Order, SO
that they may share with you in its blessings
and benefits The Department Commander
will, with the other officers, and the help of
friends outside the Order, secure q fund to be
used for the purpose of restoring to member
ship those who were formerly with Us, but
through sickness or misfortune have been un-
able to keep step and have fallen out Of our
ranks. Let MS stand or fall together"
