Penns Grove Elk Progressing Finely

Penns Grove Elk Progressing Finely
Penns Grove Lodge, No. 1858, B. P.
o. E., is now we'll launched on it's
third year and has neve enjoyed
greater prosperity nor looked forward
to a brighter future than at the pres
ent time.
With each succeeding meeting night
new members are being admitted to
the order, and the recent infusion of
young blood has done much toward
stimulating the activities of the or
ganization and putting a keener edge
on all the great things that Elkdom
stands for in the fraternal world.
The membership is now about two
hundred and fifty, with many more
on the way to the fold, and Penns
Grove Lodge feels that it is doing its
share toward increasing the national
membership of the order from 700, 900
to 100000 during the present year
AS a matter of fact the growth of
Penns Grove Lodge has been constant
ever since it was instituted. Then it
was an experiment; now it is an estab-
lished fact and its success is due solely
to those who have put their shoulder
to the wheel and kept it there.
The great object of the lodge at the
present time is to secure a home and
a drive for new members is now going
on with that end in view. Surely
there IRE a hundred more good men
in Penns Grove and throughout the
county who will make good Elks and
we are out to get them.
We have a splendid lot on Main
Street which is paid for, but the high
cost of materials has prevented US
from erecting a building within our
means. But with an enlarged mem
bership and the present enthusiasm
for a home the problem is practically
solved. Keep your shoulder to the
wheel, boys, and we'll get there.

No Hungry Elks; Nome Know Want

The Elks are not an insurance or
an amusement organization. They are
the clan whose blood circulates. Their
cardinal virtues are to aid the sick,
bury the dead, and inject sunshine in.
to dark places. They are not saints
simply disturbers of Christianity.
There are no Elks in potters' field or
country shrouds. They live by the
way and lend unto the Lord, but thew
give unto the poor. Their mission is
to do good. There are no hungry
Elks. A square meal beats PRAYER for
a hungry stomach.
