day for methodism and for her church
societies when system of benefit in
surance is allied to her work of salvation.
AT present competition is too great.
Members are lost to the church every
day simply because they join fraternal
and secret societies for the insurance fea-
lures and, becoming attached to the
lodge work with its services and rituals,
gradually fall away from their allegiance
TO the church. Everywhere the organ
izers of our societies go they have cast
into their teeth that there is no benefit
feature to the church organizations and
they find it superhuman work to show

of spiritual gain unless there is an ele-
ment of material gain to help along"
