watched the building step BY step to

lecting the money was the problem.
This was easily solved by R. W., Rob
ert A. Jackson, Grand Secretary. who
started to writing and visiting the
Lodges. AT one time when seen in a
Lodge the Worshipful Master would
say, Please pay your assessment as
the Grand Secretary is here now and
| know he came for money" The
money was rushed to r. W., w. B.
Beatty, Grand Treasurer, and he vas
kept busy figuring out if he had
money enough every time he received
an order for check. All of our bills
are paid by check and voucher system
Thus you see this Home has kept these
two officers busy also.

ture for the care and protection OF your
aged and decrepit members, also for
