CUSTODIAN'S LETTER.

Dear Lodges:-In order to protect sur
plus of $4,000 that has been rolled up by the
Afro American Sons and Daughters in 81
months it will be necessary for the writing force
to be very careful in selecting new members. The
Presidents must be certain that all applications
are voted by their lodges, and reject those whose
prospects of longevity appear to be below the
average. 1t must be remembered that the in
ducement to become assured is not great to
the healthy and vigorous, as it is to the weak
and delicate, and if we open our door to all APP
plicants or even if lodges relax their vigilance
in scrutinizing the applications made to them,
you will admit an undue proportion of the latter
class, and thus expose our order to greater haz-
yards.
Moreover, since the surplus belongs to the
policy holders, the admission of all lives
equal terms would be an injustice to those pos
sessng full measure of health and the healthy
would be called upon to contribute more than
their own required to provide fund suf-
ticient to pay the sums assured on lives having
poor prospects of longevity.

GRAND LECTURERS REPORT.
Dear Custodian

Dear Custodian
Having completed my visits that were as
signed me by you, feel that few words in the
form of report would be of interest to you and
all readers of the Courier:
Beginning Monday November 7th uIt,
visited the following lodges Travellers Rest at
Satartla There | found few members anxious
ly awaiting my arrival The lodge took on new
life from that night and | have had several
words from them in regards to their desires to
increase the lodge both in members and in in
terest.
My visit to New Bethel, at Vaughan, was
a fatal one, for the members did not meet; but
| found the secretarys home and arranged d
banquet for the 25th of November which was.
carried out. We1were successful in writing one
new member, and we created a deal Of interest
in the lodge.
Mt. Salem, at Yazoo City, gave me a cor
dial meeting, and invited me back to share the
Feast in the Wilderness" at which place add
ed one member to their lodge They are on an
upward trend also.
| was unsuccessful in finding the Mt Hart
lodge at Lexington, but hope to visit them soon.
Mt Zion, in Howard, having been visited by
Prof. Chas. Wilson. l did not revisit them.
Because of my negligence | was unable
to meet Mt. Zion, at Vaughan, at the scheduled
time, but succeeded in meeting them in another
meeting, which proved very successful.
