| Institute, comprising delegations from the
| grand officers of the Atlantic and Pacific
| Jurisdictions. met in Denver last week. The
| object of the meeting was to more closely
unite the two divisions of the organization,
| to draft the necessary laws and organize
| councils in the vast unoccupled territory in
| teryening. These objects were accomplished
| A new council. with seventy charter men,
! bers, was organized in Denver.

mained apart because Of the distance between
| the homes of the grand officers and while
| both worked on similar lines. there was lack

effected, the building up of the Young Mems
Institute in western cities will doubtless fol-
| low. While the institute membership Is
! limited to Catholic young men, 1t Is founded
| on broad lines. Fellowship, education, So
