There died just few days ago a
minister of the gospel in one of our
northwestern states, who left fam
lily consisting of a wife and seven
small children. This in itself is no
uncommon occurrence, still there is
a very sad side of the story. He
died leaving his dependent family
entirely penniless, having not one
cent of insurance or property.
While he did not oppose insurance
he just simply neglected to make
this just provision for those whom
he left. While he was on visit to
some of his relatives in Omaha, not
long since, he was urged strongly
to Join Fraternal Order, but
neglected to do so. Now what is
the result, his family is dependent
upon charity, for / know no other
term to use which will cover the
conditions az will this. He might
have been instrumental in saving
souls, but where will he stand on
that great day when he, with the
rest, will have to render an account
of his stewardship l claim it is
criminal for any man to so neglect
his duty to those whom he should
protect against want.
How much more would the mem
ory of this man have been cherished
by those who mourn him if he, in
his day, had provided them with
some means Of meeting their many
needs which necessarily arise at
such time. Friendly hands buried
him, but what of those little help
less, dependent ones? | could write
upon this until l filled the eight
pages of The Chariot yet | think
what have written should awaken
in the hearts of every uninsured
man or woman a feeling of determi-
nation that they will not be so care
less of their duty as to leave their
loved ones subjects of charity.-Me

Incidents occur SO frequently that
we cannot help but think that wise
Brothers will change their minds
occasionally when they are proven
in the wrong, but the foolish man
never had any to change. Also that
because member has something to
say upon all topics is no indication
that he is faithful worker, for a
faithful working member is not a
talker, and you never hear an active
working member of Lodge or
Order complaining or kicking about
the Order, because he is not looking
to faults.-Oregon Frater.

Me- Right To Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and ir-
ritable. If she has constipation or
kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimples, blotches, skin
eruptions and wretched complex
ion. Electric Bitters is the best
medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify, the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety
skin, rich complexion. 1t will make

It is not that he does not recog-
nize the duty he owes wife and
children, but that from confidence
in his good health and willingness
to work, he sees many years of life
before him, and thinks he has time
enough in which to begin paying
assessments. 1t is trne that he has
reason to believe that he is free
from any incipient disease and in
no immediate danger of death, He
does not realize that this is the
most auspicious time at which to
stand the vigorous medical exami-
nation required. Why should he
not take the warning from the
everyday occurrences that he reads
about. How often must he not
have heard of the death of this or
that one, stricken down in week g
illness? l. he perfectly immune?
May not diphtheria, pneumonia,
typhoid or any of the many danger
GUS Diseases that man is prone to,
lay its deadly grasp upon him. 1t
is true that even from these fell dis
eases many recover, but in what
condition? With a broken con-
stitution that can never be restored
to it's former condition. He is then
beyond all hope of heing admitted
to membership. How vain then
will be his regrets for having neg
lected his opportunities and must
bitterly reproach himself for his
wilful neglect of duty To his family?
How many man engaged in man
ual labor goes forth in the morning
strong and full of health and is
brought home a mangled corpse or
so shattered in body as to be for
the rest of his days a bed-ridden
invalid. What do you suppose
must be his feelings when being
administered to by a devoted wife
and children and he reflects that
his death will leave them entirely
unprovided for?-Erchdnge.
