TJfK SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF US Calling the Roll. Hero's a little idea thatmay help your Lodge to have a good time some evening. Send not ices to all your members, whether they live within reach of the lodge or not, that on a certain meeting night you are going to "Call the Roll," and you expect every member to be present, if possible, and if not jxxssible to give the reason why. Say to them also, that each one will be expected to say something, if only a few words, about the faith that is in him. If away from home he should tell whether he visits other Lodges, or in anyway shows his interest in tho Order.

If at home is he a regular attendant, or a regular absentee. Especially he should tell how long he has been a member of the Order, and how many others he has induced to become members. Well, there's no use to suggest more ideas, for the ingenuity of the managers of the affair can suggest all kinds of variations. Perhaps it would be well to omit all reference to non-attendance, or to getting new members, but just make it purely social. That will depend, probably on circumstances.

Try it, some of you, and report success to us. Kansas Workman. Every worker wins. No one loses. How First Li Was Told.

"Adam," said Eve, as she flung her round arms about his neck and kissed him passionately, "do you know that I adore you to distraction "Well, no," said Adam, much flattered, "I didn't know it, but I am certainly delighted with the information." And the expansion of his chest was like that in an illustrated physical culture pamphlet. "Well," continued his beautiful young wife, "I do and there's something I've been wanting to say to you for a long time. I need a new silk dress with applique trimmings, ever so badly. All the other women are wearing them, you know, and the store windows are just full of them. I really do not see how I can be in style at all without one." Adam knitted his brows.

After a moment's reflection he observed thoughtfully "My love, I have been led to believe that there was nothing in these stories of feminine indirection, but, in view of the fact that as yet there are no other women, no department stores and no silk dresses with applique trimmings in the world, I am lead to believe, reluctantly, that you have been taking liberties with the truth." And, realizing with a shock that she had been caught in her first fib, Eve blushed a deep crimson and swept out of the room with a prodigious rustling of fig leaves. Forgiveness. Phillips Brooks has thus described true forgiveness, which is one of the beatitudes of fraternal operation "The true sign of forgiveness is not some mysterious signal waved from the sky not some obscure emotion hunted out in your heart not some stray text culled out of your Bible certainly not some word of mortal priest telling you that your satisfaction is complete. The soul full of responsive love to Christ and ready longing, hungry to serve Him, is its own sign of forgiveness. Must there not be sorrow for sin Must there not be resolution of amendment Surely there must, but it is not sorrowfulness that Jesus ever wants.

He wants sorrow for sin only that it may bring es-caie from sin. I think that with all we know of the divine heart of Jesus, He would far rather see a soul trust Him too much, if that is possible, than to trust Him too little, which we know is possible enough." Klolll (hieneiiii). QnicNKMo, March 21, YM. Brother Soberer: I will say that we are still alive and taking in new members every meeting night. Wo have, initiated ten beneficiary members and two social members, and have two beneficiary members to initiate next meeting night.

We have the most, progressive lodge in Quenemo, and we are proud of it. We always have supper or lunch after our meeting, which makes everyone feel at home, and a social good time is roiorted at every meeting. We are not going to stop growing until July 1st. Rhomklia Cook, Sec. Good for Quenemo And we hope they will forget to stop July 1st, and just keep right on growing.

There was silver in her hair and snow in his, and they sat and talked of old times when they were young. They did not sieak of dates. It was simply "when we were young." Their first meeting, their first quarrel, were all gone over. Perhaps they both warmed a little over the recollections.

At last he said "Aye, Jennie, an' I haena loved anybody since you. I hae never forgotten you!"

Members failing to pay their assessment on or before the last day of the month are suspended. OIJH PLAN. I 4-M--4-- Believing Unit each individual who carries a life insurance certificate should pay his equitable cost for the saints, wo provide that any member who dios before having paid such cost shall pay the balance thereof by deducting the necessary amount from the face value of his certificate when it is paid to his beneficiaries. It has been demonstrated by the experience of the past that it costs at least FIFTEEN PEK CENT of the face of a certificate to carry it that is, on a $500 certificate the holder thereof must not pay less than $75 into the beneficiary fund on $1,000, not less than $150 and on $2,000, not less, than $300, if the Order is to be perpetuated. Hence we deduct these amounts, less the sums paid during life into tho beneficiary fund, from the amount of the certificate, when settlement is made with the beneficiaries.

Thus each member must pay the cost of his insurance, and the amounts thus deducted are placed in THE RELIEF FUNDS of the Order, providing for future contingencies arising from increased demands on the beneficiary fund. One-half of the amount thus deducted is placed in the Available Relief Fund, and can be used at any time when twelve assessments will not pay the death losses of the year. In this fund principal and interest are both available for use as may be needed. The other one-half of such deductions is placed in the Permanent Relief Fund and invested in harmony with the laws of the state of Kansas covering such investments. In this fund, the principal remains intact, but the interest may be transferred from time to time to the available Relief Fund.

AGES AND AMOUNTS. White men and women, of good moral character, who can pass a satisfactory medical examination, and who are between the ages of 16 and 47, can take out certificates for $500, $1,000 or $2,000, as they may choose. Those between the ages of 47 and 51 may carry either $500 or $1,000, while those between the ages of 51 and 55 may carry $500. ASSESSMENT RATES. Assessments are made whenever necessary to meet death claims, at the following rates On 500 Certificate 40 On a $1(XK) Certificate 75 On a $2UU) Certificate 1 45 Of these amounts, ten cents on each one thousand dollars of insurance goes into the General Fund, and the balance into the Beneficiary Fund.

SIMPLE AND SECURE. It will be readily seen that the above plan, founded on Justice and Equity shows the Wisdom of simplicity, being easily comprehended by all, and at the same time pledging Security to all who place themselves under its protection.
