FraternaI Orders.

One Of our exchanges in
speaking of fraternal orders
says their influence has all
been good, and it has been
widespread. 1t has reached
into every nook and corner
Of the country and wherever
the fraternal society has been
established there the results
are plainly apparent. For
the fraternal society teaches
good morals. it teaches in
dustry and thrift, 1t teaches
patriotism, it teaches men to
do for themselves and it
helps them when they are
