LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE

| Phoenix Lodge No. I0S held a short business meeting last Wednesday night. After the meeting the doors were thrown open and every one had a very enjoyable time dancing and playing cards, several musical selec- tions were rendered including, Mooseheart the happiest sung by the women of Mooseheart Legion of | Phoenix. The next regular meeting will be on January 4th at which time Phoenix lodge will initiate the bal ance of the James J. Davis class. | That means brothers that you have just a week and half to secure that new member for this class and show your appreciation to our director l general for the services he has rem | dered for the sake of humanity. The following is letter to the Loyal Or | der of Moose from the Hon. Gov. Thos. B. Campbell. (This is my first opportunity to reply to your letter | Of the 3rd instant, requesting some | expression relative to my impression of Mooseheart and the service being rendered by the order there. I sim | cerely hope that my delay which was due to pressure of business, has not | inconvenienced you too greatly. The idea, so long dominant in the minds of the public, that the care of those II care, is a charitable activity, has been dissipated to a great extent, by the establishment of Mooseheart the home provided by the great Lodge of | Moose for the children of it's mem bers who have been called to mem bership in that greater Lodge in the House not made by hands, eternal in the heavens; although charity is essential for the unfortunates of so- ciety who have suffered diversity I through misfortune of one kind or another, the word itself is rather re- pugnant to me in connection with the care and education of children And after visit to Mooseheart and being shown the home there, and wonderful work it is doing in educa- tional, moral and spiritual uplift for those who are fortunate enough to be embraced in it's wonderful and in 1 spring environment, I am proud to say that as a member of the order I have had some small part in t.lis great movement, which is moulding the lives of future citizens along lines which make for the betterment of the world and the things which are good and worth while in this life. Mooseheart is not an institu- tion, but a home. Its name signifies the sentiment which is responsible for its existence. It is the heart of the body of men who have banded themselves together into the Lodge of Moose, animated by the noblest impulses, the acceptance of that re- sIonsibility for the welfare of those who, Christ said: of such are the kingdom of heaven; it is a home where training. fitting those who are it's members for the battle of life guarantees not only success in that combat but for the more vital battles which involve those issues which try and test the moral stamina of the l contestant. It takes the place oi father or mother and what higher l testimonial could be offered in its behalf?- There are many thing, which carry a strong appeal to me in connection with membership il the Lodge of Moose, but Moosehear' and what it is doing in a broad generous hearted way, far out
 weights them all. With best wishe! for successful campaign, remain with kind personal regards, sincere
 ly yours, (Signed) Thomas |. Camp
