Grand Lodge Meeting.

Grand Master Workman, NJ. G.
Cecil, has issued circular notifying
the different Lodges that a special
session of the Grand Lodge has been
called to meet in Carson City, COM
mcncing Saturday, June 18th, 1893.
The circular also states that mem
bers who attend will not receive
any compensation from the Grand
Lodge. The reason for this proba-
bly, is that the special session has
been called for date Just after the
meeting of the Grand Lodges of the
other Orders in the State. 1t is be-
lieved that enough of the delegates
to the other Grand Lodges will be
Workmen to give the y. .. u. w.
Grand Lodge "a good attendance. 1t
will only be necessary for the Subor-
dinate Lodges of our Order to ascer-
tain who the delegates to the
other Grand Lodges will be, and if
they are Workmen and eligible, Sc
lect them as delegates to the special
session of the y. 0. u. w. Grand
Lodge.
AS has been before stated the OBJ
ject of the special session is to make
some much needed repairs to our By
Laws and Constitution. There are
changes to make that are really nee
essary to allow the officers 10 con-
duct the business of the Order sys-
tematically. Our Order has taken
on quite healthy growth in the
past year, and everything that can
be done should be done to help along
the good work. At the present time
the Grand Recorder has not a copy
of the Constitution and bylaws in
his office, and would be in u predica-
ment should couple of new Lodges
be instituted. This matter really
ought to have been attended to al the
last regular session of the Grand
Lodre.

During the last month the Grand
Lodge of Tennessee made applica-
ton for loan of ten thousand dol
lars. The same was approved and
the amount sent to that Jurisdiction.
This is the trst loan, we believe, un-
der the new law, and under this
practical method, made possible by
the amendments adopted at the last
session of the Supreme Lodge, such
Jurisdictions can pay their death
losses as they become due, and not
force the benehciaries to wait five or
six months before receiving the
amount due on their certificates.
Promptness in paying death losses
is one of the best methods of adver-
tising the strength and stability of
the association; and under our pres
ent relief law every Jurisdiction
can pay its losses within reasonable
time. When this new feature is full
ly understood it will receive the
hearty endorsement of every Broth
er in the Order. The loans are so
made as to be absolutely safe, and
are equitable and fair to all.

V There is one amendment we
would like to see made to the Con-
stitution when the Grand Lodge
meets, and that is an amendment to
have the Grand Lodge meet ever
year instead of once in two years.
The expense is the only argument
against annual sessions, and we be-
lieve this could be overcome by
the argument that the good to the
Order that would be derived by hav-
ing annual sessions, which would be
sort of yearly reunion, would more
than offset the expense. Think the
matter over.
~ The last death in the Order i'll
this Jurisdiction was that of Daniel
A. REYNOLDS, who was member of
Hope Lodge No. II, of Austin. He
died on the I'D day of May, of con-
sumption, after being member since
August 9TH, 1889, and was aged 81
years.

Impossible TO Compute.

1t would be impossible TO compute
the good that is being done every
year by the traternal societies of the
country. Aside from paying stipu-
lated sums to the beneficiaries of de-
ceased members, the fraternities are
also carrying Joy and sunshine into
thousands of homes, where afiliction
has come, by little acts of kindly
sympathy. At the death OF some
loved one in the family of some
member flowers are sent in; during
sickness watchers and medical at
tendance are provided; after the
death of the father aid is given in
investing funds and caring for prop
erty. Orphans are tenderly looked
after and aided to become useful
members of society. In fact it
would be impossible to mention any
line of work in alleviating distress
and educating the orphans in which
the fraternal societies are not doing
a great and noble work. And the
sad thing about it is that some real
ly good people are so controlled by
prejudice and ignorance or spirit
Of narrowness, they can see only
evil in all of this grand work for
humanity.-Modcrn WoodD,dn.

~ When YOU see an old member
kicking about the new assessment
plan being a hardship upon the old
members, ask him to name you a
reliable insurance company or bene-
ticiary society that he can get his
life insured in at his present age, for
$1,000 or $4,000, for the price he is
paying in the \. .. U. w. He will
fail to tell you of one. Ask him an
other question, by what right he, a
man of say so years, expects to get
insurance at the same rate as the
man of 20?
~ Minnesota Grand Lodge held
it's annual session in April, and was
the only Grand Lodge which has
met this year that did not adopt the
classified assessment plan. This is
the second time that Minnesota has
refused to adopt the new plan. She
has been very successful for the last
two years under the old level plan,
and the necessity for a change has
not been made apparent to the mem
bership. The change will come in
time, and il is better to wait until
the members see the necessity more
clearly and come into accord there
with.

steadily growing in scope and pow

nected himself with them. The
Brotherly hand i'll the time of deep

known future-these are considcra-

~ The question has arisen in our
mind why 1t would not be a good
idea for the A. y. u. w. to issue
$1,000 or $4,000 beneficiary certificates
as well as $1,000 and $1,000 certificates.
There are great many members who
could afford to, and would, take out
larger certificates at pro rata rate
of assessment on the $1,000 and $1,000
certificates.
~ SO far this year there have
been but nine deaths in this .Juris-
diction and six assessments. With
the same kind of luck tor the next
six months of the fiscal year Ncva-
da will get through the year with
the maximum number of assess
ments and will not be an applicant
for relief at the next meeting of the
Supreme Relief Bord.

This 1. Certainty ' "a Wondrrfui Chance


We are aware that our readers
who suffer from Nervous, Chronic
and Sexual Diseases do not have
the same opportunity to be cured as
do the residents of the large cities,
where the most eminent physicians
and specialists reside. DIR. c. ii.
Towner, Detroit, Mich, { Box g.,
who has the largest practice in the
world and who is without doubt the
most successful specialist in curing
all forms of Nervous, Chronic and
Sexual troubles, offers free consul
tation by mail to all sufferers. The
Doctor has just issued very in
teresting and instructive treatise
that should be read by every man
who is married or is thinking of
marriage. 1t gives you information
on many subjects which you have
no doubt often wondered about. He
will send you a copy free, if you
write to him enclosing stamp.
Better write to-day, as the demand
for the treatise is very large and
first come are first served No mat
ter who has failed to cure you, it
will cost you nothing to obtain the
Doctors opinion on your case. Re-
member he has made his worldwide
reputation by curing the most OBJ
stinate cases, after they had been
given up by the most eminent ply
sicians in this country and Europe.
Do not be deferred from seeking his
advice, because after being treated
by many who failed to cure you,
you have become discouraged. This
is the very time you should make
one more trial. The Doctors offer
of free consultation will only last a
short time longer, so we would ad-
wise our readers who are interested
to write at once about their case, as
he will surely cure them and the
chance to get the free advice of this
eminent specialist may never occur
again.
