When misfortune oyertakes Us. ali
human experiences prove the frailty
and uncertainty Of friendships in
time Of need. Wise men provide for
such emergencies On a business ba-
sis. Fraternities exist for that pur-
pose. self-preservation Is dependent
on assistance when, where and how
we need it.
There is nothing speculative or I'M
certain about Moose service, but re-
lance on relatives and friends in
emergencies Is usually uncertain, un-
reliable and sometimes disastrous.
Louis Harrant, stationary engineer,
joined Kaukauna, Wis.,. Lodge No, 95S
on Oct. 21, 1920, and died On MAY 9,
1928. He paid $4.75 to Mooseheart.
A few weeks ago Mrs. HaIraht and
her eight children arrived at Moose

hood" There are no rough places
here. The way is smooth, the bar
rier's gone. It is like heaven. Moose
heart service is so vast that it has
fairly taken my breath away. do not
know how can ever repay the Loyal
Order of Moose, but if my happiness

The Moose protection costs less
than your newspapers or tobacco, yet
it ought to be uppermost in your
mind. Many a man intended" to
join the Moose, but sickness and death
beat him to it, and the trait Of mis-
cry such improvidence leaves behind
fills paupers' graves, poorhouses, or
phanages, breeds crime and poverty,
degradation and death.
We have built mighty fraternity
on the foundation stone of service.
l urge you from every worthy con-
sideration, for the regard you have
for your wife and children, for your
mothers, for all that is good, noble
and sublime in life, and for your own
sake and protection, to enroll as a
member in the order that has in
spired all mankind to the noblest
impulses and highest ideals and to
which it is a distinction to belong
The Loyal Order of Moose.
