TRIENNIAL SESSION OF THE
MOSAIC TEMPLARS
OF AMERICA.

the founder of the Order, and the
world of fraternalism is watching
with a very keen eye the sitting OF
this national grand session, for it is
on the lips and heart of everybody
that this great order in national tri-
ennial session will affirm the appoint
ment of the National Grand Master
by the permanent election of this
young man to this very distinguished
place of honor 1t is the public opin-
ion that the selection of the young
Mr.. Bush will be an honor worthily
bestored.
Our Present National Grand Master.
Upon the death of the Hon. C. w.
Keats, the toga of Grand Mastership
fell upon the late w. NJ. Alexander,
whose cOwardly assassination and
death took place in Louisville, Ky,
several years ago. This incident is
30 familiar that it does not need repi-
lition here, but that young man did
yeOman work in defense of the order,
btu when sent to heaven through the
gate Of blood, the toga fell upon the
shoulders Of the Aaronic Grand Mas
Ter of the Order who was at that time
the Hon. S. J. Elliott.
DR.. Elliott coming from the state of
brain, soOd old Alabama, which hath
produced so many men of great parts,
has measured up with surprising ac-
curacy and fitness to the position to
which he came heir by the death of
his predecessor, and to which he has
been triennially elected by the body
in session since that time. The Order
under the management and supervi-
sion of this astute and logical think
or has continued its development
even in a more rapid way than be-
fore, and under the guidance of his
hand bids fair to become world
power. DR.. Elliott is not only an ar
duous, consistent and persistent fra
ternal worker, but is a friend maker,
a logical speaker and capable of send
ing home to the hearts of his hearers
the plans and schemes that he has
ripened for the development of the
institution, and it is public talk that
if you do not want to become a Mo.
sale that you had better not meet and
listen to the persuasive powers of DR..
S. J. Elliott, the National Grand
Master.
The Marvellous Growth.
The marvellous growth in the Order
doubtless is due to several things,
first, to the sanity of the business
methods and transactions employed,
for however good a matter may be,
is it is loolishly conducted, it will go
TO the ground. Secondly, it is posi-
bly, due TO the hustle and industry
and the pushing of the good schemes
inaugurated. Some people have
splendid ideas, original and splendid
thought, thoughts that, ii put into
( execution, might reyolutionize a com
munity and make great and honorable
the producer, but for the want of
industry and push, dies in its birth.
The schemes of the Mosaic Templars
of America have not only been wise,
| but they have had behind them real
aggressive and industrious manhood
and womanhood, and therefore the
/ Order has grown from its insignif-
cant city organization to a state and
national organization, with a member.
ship totaling into the 10000, and with
a bank account rising from an in
significant sum to the magnanimoUs
sum of $22S,13S77, which was the as.
sets Of the Order at the time of the
death Of its founder and National
Grand Secretary.
What the Order Stands For.
Any organization that makes a bid
for public patronage should have q
basic foundation that is essential to
the uplift Of humanity. The Order
I Of tho Mosaic GramnIar 10 hmorioo
stands first of all for morality, only a
high class of men and women can re-
main members Of the Order. Second
ly, it stands for business efficiency
Every man and woman connected
with the Order in a business way
must have clean bill of health as
regards the records that pertain 10
the Order. Thirdly, it stands for ra
cial development as is manifested by
the erection of such a magnificent
Temple as is found at the corner 81
Broadway and Ninth streets, Little
Rock, Ark. 1t also stands for patri
otism. This Is manifested by the pur
chasing of 100000 worth of Liberty
Loan Bonds by the management Of
the institution. This again shows the
sound business sense and manage
ment of the Order, for to invest II
government bonds means a safe in
vestment.
Why People Should Join the Mosai,
Templars of America.
This question of why man SHOULD
act or not act is one of the mos
