WHY THE LODGES co DOWN

Why do our lodges go down? This
question Is being asked all over our
state. Feeling an interest in this cues
ton prompted us to visit some lodges
and see if we could find an answer. We
visited one recently and think we can
account for its decrease in membership.
Inc meeting was called to order at
40, which was three-quarters of an
hour late.-First cause. The order dur
ing the meeting was of the kind usually
seen at base ball game.-Second cause
The Good of the Order" was devoted
entirely to the singing of popular songs.
NOT single word about temperance was
spoken during the meeting.-Third
causes And yet the members wonder
why that lodge is going down. A lodoe
can never nope to live unless the cause of
temperance is made foremost in its
meetings. Singing is good and we
cant have too much of it; but we need
llttle more temperance in our meetings
what is true of this lodge is also true
OF several others which we have visited
lately and will continue until our lodges
are aroused to the Importance of our
Work'-A. Tallman in Official Organ.

LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE LODGE
A SUCCESS.

BE worker in the hive, not drone.
Organization is strength; make your
lodge the best in the jurisdiction. When
member has the floor, be attentive.
Whispering is not conducive to speak
er's good temper. Don't forget the
principles of our order, but endeavor to
act the spirit of Good Templary in word
and deed. Individual members consti-
tute the strength or weakness of a
lodge No chain is stronger than its
weakest link.
Respect the gavel. You have vested
the power behind it with authority
see that you do your part we'll support
paper devoted to the interests of your
lodge. 1t will keep you in touch with
the growth of the order. Don't find
fault urinstly, but season your criticism
with kindness. Keep guard over the
unruly member, the tongue. Make
number uine of the order of business p
personal matter. and see how many new
members you can add To the lodge.
Natch the character of your entertain
ments and see that nothing unworthy
creeps in. Bring your best talent and
