.hl'KlNLEY GIVES REASONS


The hustling Lecture Committee of the
Travellers protective Association Of Amer
.ca, Post A. Virginia DIVISION, have done
good work since It's organizat-on, and the
results gained have been very satisfactory
so far, but there Is still a big lot of work
to do, and every individual member should
do all in his power to help this committee
II its work.

consistency Of a man belonging to a great
organization like the II. p. a. and never
securing an application from among us
friends for membership" says the hustler.

ing on you; for the security to them in
the case Of your illness and for the
money that will accrue to them IN case
of your death.
/" Third. For the sake Of the society
the more members it has the more good
it can do. the pleasanter its meetings are
apt to be, and the longer it is likely to
last
let your light shine in the future and
see to it that your friends are acquainted
with the objects OF the I. P. A.
