on slider What can be accomplished
IN the future by wise management
md a Strengthening of the fratern-
II bonds
In the first place the frsternal
beneficiary organizations are pri-
narily for social and fraternal en-
joyment- All are founded on the
theory that the mem bers will be or
CANNED into local lodges which viii
nave meetings at frequent intervals
and where the members can meet
IN terms of equality and can en-
JOY all the advantages formerly af-
forded by clubs and the pure fra
ternitfes. There is no bounds to
the good that may be accomplished
in this direction il lodges would
only realize what can be done in
this direction.
In the next place. the fraternal
beneficiary associations are educa-
tional. Many a man who has at
tained political preferment. or sue
cess in other directions. owes that
success TO what he has learned in
the lodgeroom.
Again the lodges cannot fail to
harmonic and wipe out antagon-
isms of every kind. They do away
With social and class = distinctions.
Every tendency is to make men
think less of differences of creed or
political belief. and more of brother
hood.
These societies are not only life
insurance companies, but give pro-
lection in times of distress and sick
ness. Probably three-fourths of the
members are wage-earners who have
not been able. and never will be able
10 accumulate anything. They live
from hand to mouth. and are salts
