confronts society and the race. While
our moral support as Individual Ma.
sons should be and l take will be al
ways arrayed with the friends and pro.
moters of every good cause, we must
beware of making of every question Of
public utility or personal exaltation a
fraternity issue. We cannot lead in
all things. We must be content to let
others lead in some. just as we aspire
to lead"
He paid an excellent tribute to Bish-
op Hood. the first grand master of this
jurisdiction, declaring, Il ask no high
er encomium upon the work which l
have tried to do as the servant Of this
jurisdiction than THISTLE strove to
emulate the example Of the first grand
master, Bishop James W. Hood"
Colonel James II. Young, who is do
ing a great constructive work as the
head of the endowment department,
made his report, which was also a
strong feature, arousing the whole
grand lodge and eliciting for this re-
markable character his usual ovation.
He in part said:
During these twelve years we have
paid in full 1879 death claims, amount
ing to the enormous sum of 1885, ,2SS.
This great and useful department to-
day is the pride Of Masons, who know
Of its benetcent work, but it will not
long remain so if you take any steps
which will weaken and destroy it. As
long as you have surplus and can
pay your claims promptly there is no
danger Of any calamity"
He reported surplus of $4,000, Of
which $500 is in North Carolina 4 per
cent bonds. Continuing, he said:
Last year We collected S56, 6,S26.3S
and paid out S52.504, leaving balance
of S17,214.63, while this year we have
collected S69, ,4SO.75 and paid out $685.
T245O, leaving a balance Of S20,9TO.SS.
1t will be observed that there is an in
crease of about $4,000 in our collec-
tons this year over that of last year"

FUNDS FOR SOCIAL SERVICE
ORGANIZATIONS ARE NEEDED.
In Strong Appeal Miss Elizabeth Wal
ton Explains the Situation.

Miss Elizabeth Walton. the we'll
known philanthropist and head Of the
Walton kindergarten in New York. has
issued a most earnest appeal for con-
tributions to the social service work
among our people. Miss Walton says:
Nearly all the social service organi-
cations for the colored people are al
most paralyzed financially right at the
beginning Of the winter season.
I'VE have been building up certain
works for their education and for their
relief for the past half century. Have
we n right to take from these organiza
tons our contributions and give them
to war sufferers in Europe? Let me in
no way be misunderstood.
Let no one think that I am not in
the deepest sympathy with every eff
fort to alleviate the distress in Europe,
whether among the wounded or the
noncombatants. l have recently re-
turned from abroad. and am so deep
ly Mortified by the awful tragedy that
there is no moment when 1t is not in
my mind. and | am asking myself the
question. What can. what ought l to
do? Let US give all we can to suffering
Europe. But let us give it. and do not
let us take 1t from the colored people.
"You who have given your contribu-
ton each year. but who have not come
in contact with the individuals needing
help or the worker giving his life to the
work. cannot realize what the with
drawing OF your contribution this year
means.
Just for an example: In one organ
ization that l know of it means. in
stead of employing sixteen workers. it
can support but four-and that means
cutting off educational work, uplift
work among hundreds Of boys and
girls. employment work and relief
work.
ITO cut OF the last two this winter Is
absolutely cruel. when there will be
hundreds out OF employment. And
what about these faithful workers
who. after years of experience. have
arrived at doing the finest kind OF so
cial service work? Where are they to
find new positions this winter? Or. to
cite another case. II home for colored
women. it is thought. will have to
Close
In view Of the foregoing statement
of conditions. Miss Walton closes her
appeal by saying that she hopes every
contributor will give as much and
more. IL possible. to the work for col
ored people. for the need viii be great
er than ever this winter.

had to rap his gavel for order. He is
regarded as one of the ableSt NJ. W.
G. NJ. in the country. His annual ad-
dresses are masterpieces Of literature,
and, as usual, when he delivered his
annual message this year he was Civ
en- significant ovation. He in part
said:
/ The order is not only maintaining
its high morale, but is attracting to
itself in considera BILE numbers the most
desirable elements of our citizenship.
While it may be and probably has
been suggested that this phenomenal
growth is attributable in no small
measure to the fact that our supple
mentary method Of distributing the
grand charity offers an inducement
which thoughtful providers for their
dependents and benefciaries find it
hard to resist. it seems to me that this
is rather complimentary than other
wise to the state of the order, viewed
from the standpoint Of our financial
policy. In my opinion that aspect of
our work does not adequately account
for the frequent alarms upon our outer
doors.
1T is not, of course, a negligible
quantity, but be assured that the
formal declaration which each appli-
cant is required to make, to the effect
that he is not influenced by mercenary
motives. that he is prompted to this
solicitation by favorable opinion con
ceived of the institution. a desire for
being serviceable to his fellow crea-
lures, and. I may add, associated with
the very flower of all the secular socie-
ties and the churches in this good state
in the praiseworthy undertakings to
which they are giving their best
thought and energy, is the appropriate
cause
Thus history, experience and obSer-
vation confirm us in the opinion that
the state of the order is one for mu-
tual congratulations. However, the
goal has not been reached. The sue
cess that has crowned our efforts along
all the various lines of our endeavor
as a fraternity should inspire us all
with more zeal and greater energy.
Success even has its dangers. 1t has
not infreQuently produced intoxication.
which converted success into failure.
Reaching out in too many directions.
hammering too many irons instead of
striking those that are at welding

whole fabric.
"By this l mean the legitimate func-
tions of Masonry do not necessarily

activity. 1t Is. indeed. fatuous phi
