The following interesting features are
clipped from the Bee Hive:
We desire there shall be no misunder
standing as far an the members of the
knights of the Maccabees of the World
are concerned, touching the matter of
merging our society and that of the
Modern Maccabees.
There has been some public utterances
recently by officers of the Modern Mac
cabees on this proposition, and the su-
preme tent in recent session also gave
expression to its attitude, through the
following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas There are two Maccabee as
sociations both organized for the pro-
lection of home and family, whose men,
berships were initiated under practically
the same ritual, and for a long time with
largely the same management operating
In different territory; and
Whereas, Recently both associations
have been soliciting members in the same
Jurisdiction, and the names being SO SINH
lar confusion and misunderstanding has
resulted; and
Whereas, The knights Of the Macca-
bees of the World, with it's 100000 mem
| bers, with 5000 subordinate tents located in
practically every state and province in
| North America, has adjusted its rates to
meet promised benefits and has a fund of
| Sc, 500, 900 on hand which is being increased
at the rate of $1,000,000 per year as a
guaranty of its perpetuity and solvency;
and
Whereas, The members, true to their
obligation, with the object only of in
creasing the circle of protection, are not
only willing but anxious to meet the
knights Of the Modern Maccabees to con-
| slider combination of effort In the in
| terests of the widow and the orphan;
| therefore
Resolved, That the board of trustees is
authorized to agree with the Modern
! Maccabees upon some plan of consolida'
tion of the two associations; provided
such consolidation shall~in no manner
impair the solvency of this association
is not provided for by promised con-
trtbution.
The supreme tent review recently held
in Detroit passed a resolution giving the
supreme board of trustees authority to
| remove the headquarters of the associa-
| tion from Port Huron to Detroit, and to
acquire property therefor. Following is
the resolution:
Resolved, That the board of trustees be
and 1t Is hereby authorized, in it's dis
cretion, to remove the headquarters of
| this association from the city of Por.
Huron to the city of Detroit; and further
| Resolved, That in case such removal
| be determined upon said board be andit
| is hereby authorized to acquire. either by
| lease or purchase suitable offices In the
city of Detroit for the headquarters of
said association; and further
Resolved, That in case of such removal
and in case said board shall determine
to acquire headquarters in the city of De-
troit by purchase, then that 1t be and 1t
is hereby authorized to use for such pur-
pose not to exceed 100000 of the life bene-
fit funds of the association, the general
funds of the order to contribute to the
life benefit funds interest on the amount
so used for such purpose, at a rate of 4
per- cent per annum; and further
Resolved. That in case of such removal
said board be and 1t is hereby author
| lied to sell the real estate belonging to
said association In the city of Port Huron.
The whole matter is now in the hands of
the board - trustees.
| The greatest new movement of present
| interest to Maccabeeism is the proposition,
Just given new impetus by the supreme
tent. in its plan to organize the Junior
Maocabees."
1t is movement to save the boys to
the X. o. T. M. Boys soon become men,
and those In our Maccabee homes belong
to us; they will not first find their way
into, or get their Joy in the service of
other associations, If we ourselves do our
duty by them
Organization is the spirit that moves
everything today, and our association will
forfeit its right to the boys within its
circle If it does not at once provide for
them.
Don't belittle this junior movement.
Look around you and forget not that
boys become men. Eighty per cent Of the
men In our churches were admitted TO
membership when in boyhood and early
manhood. Our boys under proper guild
ance will naturally exDect to becOme Mac
