M ITS OFFICERS AND MEMBERS FEEL A SOURCE OF GREAT PLEAS URE TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH IT. In the order of thriving institutions New Era Lodge has but few lodges that can cope with it in conservatism of t tis executive branch. Things seem to be done with such . flashlight promptitude when the necessity impels their instantaneous dispatch, and avoiding a blunder or a mis understanding of an order by those who are detailed in carrying them out, are among the causes of this present advance into publicity. It can be truthfully asserted that tranquility in its entirety prevails, which reflects largelv upon the efficiency of its officers, whose hearts have entered unstintingly into the work and are ever standing out in search of that which will add to the up-building of this in instirution. Regardless, however, of the many exquisite things that the portrayal of words can bring to bear, if the proper channels are not used to show the importance of such an institution in our midst, success can not reach the hi<fli mark of distinction that it should. Women with their true devotion can help indirecty, and are therefore looked upon as an inestimable acquisition, in the direction of in fluencing in behalf of the New Era Lodge. Some men are rather careless, and observe not the need of preparing for the sick day. They proceed in their . wild career and seek not to obtain the friendship of those that will stick closer to them perhaps than mtmyja brother * in time of sickness. The consequence has been the oft- f repeated “If I knew.” Such expressions can and should * be avoided, and as a proof of sound judgment 'every man e should make preparations so that in case he gets a familv 11 they will not have to be poverty-stricken as has been the * Case of many families. Women should insist upon the male portion of their y family to prepare for sickness and death, not only spirit- s tylily but financially. Women too should not overlook the necessity of such an important thing. Any male member of a family, who can pass the ex aminations of a medical physician and is of good moral '1 character is eligible to membership in New Era No t] 107 F. and A.

QUIET ENOUGH. “Frances,” said the little girl”! mamma, who was entertaining call ers in the parlor, “you came down Stairs so noisily- that von could be heard all over the house. 'You know how to doit better than that. Now go back and come down stairs like a lady.” Frances retired, and, after the lapse of a few minutes, re-entered the parlor. •‘Did you hear me come down stairs this lime, mamma?” “No, dear, I am glad iou came down quietly. Now, don’t let me ever have to tell you again not to come down noisily, for 1 see that you can come quietlv if you will. Now tell these ladies how ton managed to come down like a lady the second time, while the first time you made so much noise.” The last time I slid down the ban isters, ’ explained Frances.— Michi gan Advocate.
