Lodge Visitors.

1t is good sign when a Lodge
has visitors. 1t is proof in the first
place that the Lodge is known among
travelling Brethren as pleasant
place; as Lodge where the spirit
OF cordial goodtellowship reigns;
where the work is done with zest,
and where the members understand
and tcel what they are there tor.
The stranger Brother does not drop
in at the meeting OF the half-hearted,
slow-going, lukewarm Lodge. 1t
depresses his spirit to see the ritual
butchered, the comforting of the
ranks slurred and stumbled over,
and the members transacting busi-
ness in manne + to show that early
adjournment is the sole object that
they have in view. Having once
been caught in snap like that, and
having come away disgusted, with
ardor chilled and large addition to
his stock Of regrets, the stranger IL
weary, ana IL ne IL hlNitSu |" 1has
Lodge again to visit, he "has an en-
gagement."
The presence of visitors proves
that the members of the lodge ap-
preciate that hospitality is cardi-
nal virtue of the Order. 1t is clear
proof that they are on the lookout
tor wayfarers, and alert to invite
them into the cheerful circle OF their
com radeship. Where the Lodge
membership is deeply imbued with
the genuine fraternal sentiment, IN
vitations so hearty, so warm and
insistent will be extended to the
stranger that he will find it waste

A Happy Influence.

In pottery factory there 1S a
workman who had Que small invalid
child at home. He wrought at his
trade with exemplary fidelity, being
always in the shop with the opening
of the day. He managed, however,
to bear each evening to the bedside
of his "wee lad" as he called him, a
flower, bit of ribbon, or fragment
of crimson glass-indeed, anything
that would lie out on the white coun-
terpane and give color to the room.
He was quiet, sentimental man,
but never went home without some
thing that would make the wan face
light up with JOY at his return. He
never said to living soul that he
loved that boy so much. Still he
went on patiently loving him, and
by and by he moved that whole shop
into positively real but unconscious
fellowship with him. The workmen
made curious little jars and cups
upon their wheels, and painted di-
minutive pictures down their sides
before they stuck them into the cor
ners of the kiln at burning time.
One brought some fruit in the bulge
of his apron, and an other engrav-
ings in rude scrap-book. Not one
of them whispered a word, for this
solemn thing was not to be talked
about. They put them in the old
mans hat, where he found them; he
understood all about it. And believe
it or not, cynics, as you. will, but it
is fact that the entire potteryful of
men, of rather coarse fiber by nature,
grew quiet as the months drifted,
becoming gentle and kind; and some
dropped swearing as the weary look
on the patient fellow workers face
told them beyond mistake that the
inevitable shadow was drawing
nearer. Every day some one did a
piece of work for him and put it on
the sanded bank to dry, so that he
should come later and go earlier. So,
when the bell tolled and the little
coffin came out OF the lonely door,
right round the corner out of sight
there stood one hundred stalwart
workingmen from the pottery, with
their clean clothes on, most of whom
gave half DAYS time for the privi-
lege of taking part in the simple pro-
cession, ana following to the grave
that small burden of a child which
probably few had ever seen.-Sdn

Jennie-J John, you are still paying
your dues and assessments in the a.
0. U. W., aren't you?
John-No; let it go last month.
Times have been too hard to meet 1T.
1t is as much as | can do to get food,
etc, for you and the little ones at the
present time.
Jennie-Oh, John, l didn't think
you would let that go. 1t is the only
thing would have if you should die
to keep the little ones.
John-Yes, Jennie, that is so; but
how can help it? Money is very
scarce and so is work and l don't
know how soon l will be laid off
Jennie-I know it, John, but l
would rather do with less and keep
that up, for l think it better than any
savings fund and it is the best invest
ment you can make in this world.
Can't you get in again in some way?
If you do, I'll see that it is kept up
if you don't want to go to Lodge
yourself. But l think it is every
members duty to go and l surely
can spare you twice month, as l
understand your Lodge meets only
that many times a month.
.John-Yes, can be reinstated by
going to the next meeting and l will
do so. Keep me in mind of it. The
Lodge meets the second Wednesday
in next month and will go.
,Jennie-Oh, thank you! l know
that you have the same love for me
that you have always had. l don't
know what would do if you should
happen to die. With three small
children to feed and clothe, | would
not know which way to turn.
Alas! how needful ,Jennie's fears
Were! Before the next meeting night
rolled around John had gone to meet
his Maker and Jennie was left with
her children dependent on the cold
charity of the world, while if he had
only paid that one assessment she
would have been put beyond want.
If any Jennies read this, see that
your husbands stay in the a. Q. U.

Golfers weekly December 10.

An able editorial on the spirit and
scope of the Presidents Message,
with scholarly discussion of Speak
er Reeds recent dictum, "Empire
can wait." add weight and interest
to the current number of Golfers
Weekly. The crisp paragraphs OF
Saltus, the indefatigable newsgath-
ering industry of Habberton, the
philosophic comments of Haw-
thorne and the eminently readable
London letter of Edgar Fawcett, are
attractions already sufficiently
known to readers of this brilliant
journal. The Editor promises in
addition some startling innovations
with the new year. Among them
is a project long cherished of giving
weekly, in connection with paper
proper, literary magazine. The
Inauguration of various new and
important departments is also
promised, and last, but by no means
least, Henry James's serial story,
"The Turn of the Screw"

~ Strengthen the fraternal bonds
Brothers. Do not permit anything
whatever to separate you one from
another. Life is continuous battle,
and TO have to fight this battle alone
is sad contemplation. Hand to
hand, greet you as Brother.
What volume is contained i'll that
expression. Keep alive tho bond OF
human love by bearing and fore
bearing one with another. 1t Is a
pitiful reflection to behold the spirit
of separation at work among those
who should dwell together in unity,
and yet there is hardly Lodge that
does not have two or more brethren
who are not in unity with one
another. We frequently forget
that much is required from them
selves in the promotion of loving
harmony and we wrongtully expect
that the other fellow should do all
the love-making. Ken. Knight
~ All honest toll is honorable
There is nothing so morally degrad'
ing as that aversion TO manual labor
which is usually combination OF
laziness and conceit.

~ The greatest danger that the
Fraternal Orders have to fear is the
member who will not read, discuss
or think on the vital questions which
are confronting the Orders today.
He will not think for himself and
he refuses to allow those who do the
thinking to place before him the re-
suits of their Investigations, and

Who LIS ResponsibIe2

beneficial societies is becoming so
rare nowadays that when an isolated
case does appear it is the occasion
for surprise and comment. A year
ago a convention of anti-secret soci-
ETY. church people was called to meet
at Minneapolis for three days ses-
sion, for the purpose of organizing
campaign of society annihilation.
There was so small an attendance
at the meeting, and the interest man
ifested was so little that the session
came to close before the end of the
second day; in fact, at died a bor
nin',' and we have heard of no at
tempts to revive the corpse this sea-
son. Now, however, comes the state
ment that a Connecticut clergyman
has succeeded in inducing one hun
dred members of his flock to drop
all of their fraternal protection or
life insurance on the ground that it
is distrusting the Lord and doubling
his ability and Willingness to provide
for His children when in need. This
preacher may be sincere in the doc
trine which he advocates, and If he
were the only one affected there
would be no protest raised. But
when the families of one hundred of
his parishioners are deprived of the
protection that is absolutely neees-
sary for their future welfare, it be-
comes a matter Of public concern. If
these families are left penniless, the
communities in which they live will
be obliged to care for them and the
burden will fall on all, whether
members of this particular church
or not. Carried to this extreme, the
doctrine is anarchistic in its teach
ings, because it overthrows not only
the fundamental principles OF gov
ernment which makes the providing
for ones self and family essential
elements to good citizenship but it
also defles the scriptural injunction
which says that che who provideth
not for his own is worse than an in
fdel." The time is coming when pub
lie sentiment will consider man
who does not make provision for his
family, when he has had the oppor-
tunity, in the light of a criminal
Distress, want and starvation stare
destitute family in the face, and it
is not infrequently that we see these
mistortunes followed up by theft,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and sometimes muir
der. Does the responsibility for
these crimes-w which is the direct re-
suit of neglect on the part of the head
of the household to make proper pro-
vision for his family-rest entirely
with those who commit the crime?
Legally it may; but morally we in
sist that the crime goes back to the
one who had it within his power to
make their commitment wholly i'm
probable and certainly unnecessary.
IT there is a punishment in the here
after for the wicked, the biblical
teachings would certainly seem to
consign to such place this kind OF
| criminal whom it refers to as
worse than an intidel.-The Bee Hue.
