Christian charity, and to make use of
these in daily life is not only not in
juring, but is making better citizens
of its members. 1t is an old saying
"that blood is thicker than water"
and we believe that, being of the
same blood, makes us all feel a little
more interested in our neighbor of
the same race, no matter what that
race may be. Again this organize
ton prevents great deal of distress
by paying sick and death benefits,
thereby saving the family and friends
a great deal of the modification which
they would naturally feel had the State
or city to take charge Of their unfor-
Inmates. 1t will never be known out
side Of the order how much good is
done, for the Hibernians never tell
any one of their charitable deeds.
They go about them quietly and un-

never suspect that they are the har-
bingers of so much charity.
