If we were called upon TO give
advice to the workers in our Order,
it would be to never tire. The
work must be kept up incessantly;
the day we cease to work, that day
we cease to make progress, and as
there can be no standing still, for
time never stands still and waits,
we will be moving backwards. 1t
is a deplorahle fact that not all
members of the Order are workers;
if they were, how easy and pleas
ant would the work bel But the
fact is that a majority of the mem
bers are not workers, some because
they can not, others because they
believe they can not, and still
others because they will not work.
THIS state of things has a very
depressing effect upon the workers,
who by a sense OF duty or love for
the institution to which they belong
have been inspired to work and
carry the same Oh with more or less
success for time, but seeing their
fellow members who are as much
benefited by their work as they
are, persiSting in idleness, will he
discouraged. They get tired in The
work in which they obtain so little
assistance and encouragement, the
fact that they and always they and
they only are the ones who must
lead in every progressive under
tnking finally has a discouraging
effect and they feel as if they had
done their share and it is about
time for them to quit, giving others
chance to work.
1t is these whom we would advise
never to tire, for if they do, the
work will not he done. Let them
educate others to help them, hut
not leave others to save themselves.
If they cease to work, others will
not begin where they have left off,
hut will remain idle also 1t is,
indeed, a difficult task to work con-
tinuously without firing, but this
is what the workers in our Order
will have to do if the Order is to
remain prosperous Workman, Wis-
consin.

A Living Chain.

Few members of the A. 0. u. w.
have proper appreciation OF the
greatness of the Order to which they
belong and of which they are part.
Our Living Chain now encircles
the American continent. Our army
of almost 100000 members extends
from Atlantic to Pacific; from Van
couver to Florida keys.
On more than 5000 affairs our
camp fires are burning. The en-
blems of our Order, the anchor and
shield, are as well known, almost,
as for years have been the three
links, or square and compass.
Think Of i'll Picture in your mind
an army of 100000, steadily march
ing past a mill As they pass each
one drops silver dollar in It's hop
per Every sixty minutes one soldier
in the ranks dead in his tracks.
His remains are carried to their
last resting place,
Every sixty minutes out of the
hopper comes $4,000 package,
which is taken by committee III
waiting To the desolate home of one
of the fallen Ten hours out off every
twenty four this process goes ON.
This is only an outline of the pic
ture. Let your own vivid imagina-
ton fill it in.
Think of the blessings that follow
think of the homes relieved from
distress; think of the many good
deeds done by such noble army of
fraternal workers; think of the
happiness brought into the lives OF
those who have gone, while yet
living rs wei! as to those who sur
vive; think of the true, the practical
the living, exemplified denefition of
fraternity and protection to the
home.
There is something more in the
watchword of our Order, Charity,
Hope and Protection-something
more than sounding brass or tick
ling cymbal." We may at times be
forgetful of their lessons; we may
not always be as mindful as We
should be of our duty to our brother;
individually, We may be more OF
less negligent in these things; but
the great work of the Order goes
right on; some shoulders are con.
stantly at the wheel; some are not
iorgetful; the Living Chain is never
broken, however weak, at times
may be some Of its links.
No member lies down at night
with any fear in his heart that i
death shall claim him before the
morning, the A. 0. U. w. will fai
in the performance of its duty, tht
redemption of its pledges to those
left to its care and protection.
Forty Thousand have gonel Forty
thousand pledges have been redeem
ed. Eighty millions of dollars pai'
for the relief of desolated homes
and all the blessings such worl
implies.-Er.

Grand Master Workman Miller,
of West Virginia, in response to the
circular relative to relief for the
year 1898, says: "West Virginia
jurisdiction is not an applicant for
relief-thanks to the classified plan.
We have only levied three assess
ments for the past six months under
this plan, and we expect to show a
nice increase during my term OF
Office"
During the coming session OF our
Grand Lodges we expect to see sew
eral more jurisdictions wheel into
line and adopt classified assess
ments. The successful issue, espec-
tally in Kansas, has encouraged
other low rate Jurisdictions to a
more thorough study OF the plan,
and whenever the plan is carefully
and honestly studied it brings con-
viction and changes. So we hope
for a number of changes from the
old plan.-Keystone Workman.

heads of families. Messrs. James
Freddy, Jerome Morgan and Frank
Freddy are among those who have
gone to the sLoop Creek mines. and
