idoIatOr Of the past at the altar OF
their golden gods.
Love Of home, liberty and Nation
make us mi people. The network Of
~fraternal brotherhoods in all the
avocations and pursuits Of life wheth-
er OF mind or body binds rs INSOFAR
ably together. One OF the strongest
and most universal OF these is the
"Modern Woodmen OF America"
An organization whossaitar is dedicat-
ed to mother, wife and children, not
in the dazzling glare Of princleyknight-
hood, not in the pomp and pride of
Oriental spIendor, not informulism
and rituaIistic rites, but in the mutu-
al protectio n of a Woodman's home
and honor, In the brawny breasts
Of the sons OF toll which the inn
mortal Lincoln called "rhe common
people, " there is the fortress Of our
defense. There is the cause of our
success. The common people, the
bone and sinew OF America, are with
Us and Of US. A mighty moving
phalanx, six hundred thousand
strong, who work for their daily
bread, and upon whose brows the
beaded sweat Of honest toll glistens
like q gem brighter than all the
diamonds of Golgonda and worth
more to humanity than all the rubies
and pearls Of creation. These are the
fellow citizens with whom we ask you
to join in bonds OF ~fraternal fellow
ship In pursuit Of happiness, peace
and prosperity.
F~raternal life insurance companies
are not Of recent origin. Joseph, the
royal b~enefactor of bis brethren and
deliverer Of allEgypt.tr from famine, was
the first "Grand Deputy" to organize
q fr%aternal life insurance company
during the seven years Of plenty In
Egypt. In those prosperous years he
prepared for the famine that followed.
And to-day, 81 then, 1t is the voice Of
Weldon and experience dearly bought
that warns you, my fellow citizens,
that the dearth and famine Of old
age will come to you az It must come
to all. The palaces OF the rich and
the novels Of the poor are alike in
vaded by the dark angel Of death and
the bread winner may be the first that
is taken. Death has its temporal ter
rors to all, but for none so fierce, so
bitter as to the poor man who leaves
a helpless wife and children homeless
and heartleHs to battle with the world.
Be you saint or sinner God offers not
to provide food and clothing for your
little one unprotected. Great and
merciful has been His kindness to you,
but He plainly tells you that she who
provides not for his own household Ia
worse than an infidel."
As to the work we are doing | want
to tell you that we are doing more
than any old line insurance company,
more than any other fraternal associ-
alton in the world. To our ranks in
1899 we added 101,s72 members and
gave to their homes a170, 0o0, 900 good,
safe insurance. In the last six months
