Ladies Auxiliary A. o. n.

The Irish women of America not
wishing to be outdone in their devo.
ton to Church and State, carried out
their desire of forming an auxiliary
to the Ancient Order of Hibernians
sixteen years ago. That their ambi.
ton was not ephemeral is proven by
the fact that today the Ladies' Aux.
Hilary has membership of $4,000.
This powerful organization of WON.
en- of Irish blood is doing a great
work in opposing divorce and pre-.
serving the sanctity of the home.
At the national convention in Port.

Ohio was chosen secretary and Mrs.

was passed by which the Order is

In the matter of prompt attention

To mention the name of the An

ton the name of a society in which
every Irishman in America takes
pride. The history of the Order in
America, of it's grand achievements
and great growth, is remarkable

was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Hennepin Council x. of c.

The remarkable growth of the Hen

lumbus during the eleven years of
its existence has few parallels in any
city in the United States. The coun-
Gil was instituted in 1899 with a mem,
bership of fifty. Its founders We're
vigorous men, anxious to forward the
work. Catholics were educated to
realize the advantage Of strong, &C.
tive organizations; the council soon
began to flourish and today is boasts
of membership of over six hundred
practical Catholics.
The rapid growth Of the council
soon gave rise to a movement to pro-
vide more commodious quarters. En-
thusiasm was not lacking among the
members. The worth of Catholic
fraternal organization was not ques-
toned by those who had associated
themselves with the work, and q gen.
eral feeling of goodwill and inclina.
ton to make the necessary sacrifices
for the accomplishment of the pro.
posed plan soon resulted in the pur-
chase of the Christian property on
the corner of Eighth street and Fifth
avenue south. The building was re-
modelled and is now "home" in
every sense of the word.
The aim of the Council was to pro-
vide a common meeting place where
members and their friends might
gather to enjoy each others com.
pany and discuss the. questions of the
day. The main club room is COM
nodious and beautifully finished and
furnished. The billiard room, the
ladies' retiring room and the dining
room are all decorated and furnished
with view to pleasing the most ex-
acting taste.

Concerning the history of the Cath
olic Order of Foresters r. F. Bertch,
Chief Ranger of st. Anthony court,
Minneapolis, writes:
1t was on the oath day of May, 1888,
in the city of Chicago, Illinois, that
a small number of representative
Catholic men gathered to discuss the
idea of forming benevolent associa-
ton. 1t must be remembered that
fraternal or benevolent societies were
something practically unknown at
that time, the 1a.,a of mutual pro-
lection as far as life insurance is
concerned as we understand it today,
was then in it's primitive state. The
adverse attitude Of the clergy OF all
denominations, including our Catholic
bishops and priests, to secret socie-
ties, was so pronounced and active
that it was one of the chief factors
in retarding the development of mu-
tual aid and protection. No wonder
then that the small handful of men
that had gathered together to asso-
ciate themselves into an organization
which was destined to be the great
est Catholic order in the world, found
it difficult to enlist enough moral and
financial support to insure success to
the principles evolved. The result
of that memorable meeting was a
mutual and protective society under
the name of the Catholic Foresters.
The purpose and aim of the So
ciety was mutual aid in form of sick
benefits, assisting members and their
families when in distress and the
payment of life insurance to the
benefciaries of a deceased member
for which assessments were levied on
the level rate plan.
The field of endeavor was confined
principally to the city of Chicago,
but included all of Cook county. The
growth of this society was SO rapid
that at the end of few years, in
stead of counting their members by
three figures, it leaped into the thou
sands. The principle of fraternal life
insurance was firmly established. The
excessive rates and arbitrary meth
DDS of old line companies presented
strong contrast to methods of the
Foresters of Cook county; here Is
wnere insurance could be obtained at
cost, where men could gather and
discuss sthe social and economic ques-
tons of life, where sympathy, en-
couragement and practical assistance
was extended to men who were in
distress, where weekly benefits were

of Knights and their friends. Sunday
evening dinner parties have develop
ed into one of the most prominent
social features of the club. The con.
geniality which is always in evidence
at the club makes it an attractive
rendezvous for its members.
The atmosphere of the home is re-
filming and elevating. 1t is "a place
where youth may cultivate that whole
some friendship and society so neces
sary to the development of strong
and graceful character" The object
of the home is to induce Catholic
young men to take an interest in
Catholic projects and to adopt the
high ideals which their religion holds
up to them. 1t fills need in Catho
lie circles that cannot be disregarded
