LoyaI Order Of Moose

The meeting of the Philadelphia Lodge
on last Sunday afternoon was the most
pleasurable of the series this fall. De-
spite the inclement weather, fully 800
members were present The famous
Moose Band not only played the odes and
incidental music. but vocal and lnstru-
mental soloists from their number rem
dered selections that evoked hearty ap-
plause.
The feature of the meeting was the
new degree team. formed from members
of Company b, OF the Moose Defenders.
For more than two years there has been
no work OF this character in Philadelphia
Lodge, as the open charter work was OF
such a strenuous nature that the time
could not be spared for the full exem-
plification of the rituahstic ceremonies.
The ritual has been revised. and for the
first time the membership of Lodge No.
54 witnessed the exemplihcation OF the
new initIatory ceremonies. Five new
candidates were received, one OF them
being the Hon. Raymond MacNeille, Judge
of the Municipal Court. After being in

Knights of the Golden Eagle

At the last session of the Supreme Cas-
tie quite number of radical changes
we're made in the laws which directly af-
feet the order i'm Pennsylvania, one
change made being the holding of BIZ
ennial sessions hereafter instead of an
nually. This had been recommended to
tho Grand Castle of Pennsylvania by the
present Grand Master Of Records l.. l.,
Gallagher, in 1906 1903 and again in 1914.
At each session It was approved by the
representatives in the Grand Castle, and
by that body recommended to the Supreme
Castle. Ii was finally adopted this year
by the Supreme Castle. and Is now in
force. The next session OF the supreme
Castle will not meet until October 1916,
in Atlantic City.
Another Improvement recommended by
the Grand Master of Records OF Penn
sylvania and concurred by the Grand Cas-
tie was the proposition to change the
night of the annual election from the
first meeting night in June and December
to the last meeting night In those months,
This was slightly amended at the SUI
preme Castle session whereby Grand Cas-
ties hereafter have the authority to fix
any one night legally in the months OF
June and December to hold the election.
It will therefore come before the Grand
Castle at its next session In the shape
of an amendment.
Another motion was that hereafter I'm
all laws affecting finances in the Supreme
Castle, notice of the same must be given
to all Grand Castles nine months before
the session OF the Supreme Castle. thus
each Grand Castle has ample time to
carefully consider any proposed changes
that might be offered.
The meeting OF the Extension Commit
tee was held In the city OF Reading last
Saturday and much important business

mans progress from selfishness. were
praised BY Secretary of state Bryan in
speech before an Elks' memorial meet
Ing in Washington. Speaking on the in
fiuence that fraternal organizations arc
now able TO exert against things destruc-
tive TO the human brotherhood the Secre-
tRry said: 1.-THE fraternal organization is
destined to play a larger part than II has
heretofore in the advancement of world
peace. Many of our orders are now in
ternAtional and. while they may be inn
potent to check the ravages of war when
war has once begun. they can be potent
to the earlier stages of discussion before
passion has converted invisible boundaries
into impossible barriers
