One of the most important lessons to learn in Odd Fellowship, as in all other relations of life, is to realize how smore blessed it is to give than to receive 7 The largest measure of usefulness and the mo- blest achievements are gained by what we do for the world and not by what the world does for us. In service is the largest compensation. Odd Fellows Herald.

 There never was time in Missouri when it was more important for members to remember that they are the working force by which the order is maintained and should be an clement of strength and not enc of weakness. If every member who is today complaining of the high as- sessments would put forth equal energy to secure Q new applicant within the next 50 days the result would remedy the whole situation and reduce the assess Iaents for five years to come.-OvoFseer.

 There is SO much of value in d member ship in the Knights of the Maceabees, fra formally as well as beneGeially, that there is tendency among some of cur members to overlook the importance of carrying Q certificate n the fife benefit fund of the supreme tent, and we think that if the ad- Yantages Of such q certificate were fully realized that there would not be a social member in the order, providing he could pass satisfactory medical examination, even though he were loaded' with other protection, says The Bee Hive Me will briefly summarize its advantages; The positive assurance of a very prompt pay ment in case of death to the beneticiaries named in the certificate The advance ment immediately if desired, of q certain amount for funeral expenses. In case of permanent and total disability the pay ment of one-tenth annually to the member himself; also relief from further assess ments. Upon reaching 70 years of age when the earning power of the member has ceased, the payment of one-tenth an- nually and q relief from the payment of further assessments. The monthly plan of paying assessments according to the nor tuary table, by which we are enabled to create an emergency fund that we are req sonably sure will take care of our beneflci- aries without the calling of extra assess ments.

tage, and he soon took the lead. main
