Brother Henry Miller, G. <. of r.
and S. of Texas, in his report for 1885,
writes as follows of the Endowment
Rank:
The progress Of this beneficial
branch of our order during the past
year has been remarkable. The en-
dowment rank of the order is little
more than seventeen years old. In that
short period it has paid TO the families
of our brother knights the enormous
sum of $1,000 600, the annual payment
having now reached more than a mil
lion a year. This immense sum goes
into the hands of many who would
otherwise become charges upon the
order, and it thus relieves the lodges
Of many financial burdens. 1t is the
insurance of the order and, as such,
should be the first choice of it's mem
bers-a duty that should not be ne
elected. Men insure their houses,
chattels, etc. Why should they not
be more anxious to insure the life
which, eXtinguished by death, leaves
a void of far more Importance than
the destruction of houses or chattels?
for this costs but little and comes at
a time when of all other times it is
most needed. While our order of bus
mess contains the question: Does
any brother desire to join the Endow-
ment or Uniform ranks?" the member
ship at large know little about the
advantages OF the Endowment rank
The subject is one of vital Importance
to every Pythian, and there should be
some organized or systematic method
whereby the subject could be brought
up every lodge night and the plans
and purposes and its merits fully ex-
plained to the membership.
