 lie feld worker often meets with a l man who objects to membership in the order on the ground that he must die l to win. He does not realize that mem l bership in the order brings him tho benefits of social and fraternal rela- ] tions to his fellows, which are in a l large measure compensation for the l money he pays while he lives, besides 1 which he is given the additional satis- faction of knowing that in case of his ! death his loved ones will not be con- signed to the poorhouse. To a rightly constituted man this is not dying te win.-Overseer.
 Oslo grand lodge decided to estab- fish special sick benefit funds in each lodge. independent of the general funds of the order. The A. o. D. W. gives a guaranteed rate of assessment proportioned to the members cost to the order at each age

 has to pay not only up to the age of fifty, but to the end of life.
