E. McHUGH, Manager i i 4N A LETTER TO OUR MEMBERS——OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ' Offices of the Grand Lodge Improved Order of Samarit ! (FOUNDED 1897, BY W. H. HARRIS, M. D.) : -. % : : cAthens, Georgia - ' CHRISTMAS, 1934. DEAR MEMBERS, GREETINGS: : o I am thinking that we Good Samaritans may well adopt the sp'mg of Christmas “Glad Tidings” as a light for Divine Guldé ance. For we well remember that God gave to the peopie of the world the gift of Christ that the way to peace, joy and go?d' will might be established on earth. This spirit should be espec ially helpful in overcoming the terrible blow we have SUffe‘rf' in the loss of our Founder and Leader. This loss of our Great Light has dimmed thie way for some of our weaker members- The Order continues to suffer from this effect because of fright and scattering in our ranks. This weakness among our mem bers mn such large numbers is a great source of worry to ug who are strong. .A strong light is still in our miast, many Of_ us can see it.. But confusion among those in our ranks serveg to.keep from the view of all this new and strong light. Such mem bers who can not gee this light are frightened, scattered and giving up. So, let us who are strong recite to those in our ranks the meaning of the gift of Christ to the world, His coming to re-as sure us that faith, hope and charity are sustaining and lasting values. Right always triumphs in the end. We should rejoice and hold to our belief in the teachings of Christ, that His way points to the ending of all earthly problems and troubles. Base and inhuman untruths have been spread abroad as to the safety of the future course of our Socfety. Such rumors continue to fly fast and gather more force. There are people Who would upset and destroy our Order with gossip and tale-‘ bearing, taking advantage of the very tragic and unfortunate death of our Founder and Leader, Dr. Harris, in whom we all staked so much faith and hope. It hag been said and it continues to be said that Dr. Harris has had the Samaritan Headquarters Grand Lodge building and all the assets (funds) belonging to the Order recorded in his own name and that these belongings of the Order were left to his family. These untruths are so base and destructive that they are causing our business to suffer. It is unfortunatt that most of our people believe everything they hear. And, so, flood of confusion has heen sent into our ranks. 'rhe:"Oforf‘. We are compelled to speak up in defense of our welfare. The truth iy that Dr. Harris so loved his work that he ='~lmf’sl ”"}"’" the interests of himself and his family. He really left the Ordey rich and left but a modestly small inheritance to his f:umhj His personal fortune had suffered huge shrinkage and losses years ago from the deflation period after the war and the late depression collapse struck deeper into hig personal fortune. Further and far worse than any untruth’s was the committing of an outrage upon the Ordér in the very shadow of its founding place. It happened two weeks to the very day of the burial es Dr. Harris. Among us in Athens, an ex-member (lon lapsed and dropped) allowed the use of his name for the bringing of a suit in our high court, asKing that ouy Order I_‘w put into Receivership upon thg grounds of the above mentioned rumors. This word receivership, in plain language, spells ruin and destruction! I would not be frightened and paid not a penny of funds of our Order to get the suit stopped. I met the suit in court and justice did the rest. I had faith, knowing that God would not suffer a right and worthy thing to be destroyed. 'lfll'e suit was dismissed and left dead in its tracks. Our me» berg should go and tell the world the truth about this destructive act. Our Order is not left in court as some enemies of thg truth would have the public to believe., The suit was thrown out and closed for good. There are some people who for selfish reasons would like very much to get this institution out of the way because they know that it is headed for a course which is likely to upset an old, time-worn method of providing the public with life m"‘}‘" ancg protection. Ths Order has recéently laid the foundation for a modern, MUTUAL Benefit Protective Society whose .w!‘\"(": in this direction has a great opportunity. Therg is no reason why the people should not have provided unto them insur:llH“ protection under a purely mutual benefit plan which does offer such protection lowest in cost. Not all people are -“L‘“'""l"' neither do all people object to competition. Only a few people like competition and the plan which we have is giving a sréd! deal of worry to our competitors. y Let us streng hearted members gather more confidence and courage that we may keep to our course, which I promise I‘l_\. you upon my honor, as one man to another, iy a safe and charted course. This noble and helpful weork which Dr. Haris started and kept standing so long must not and will not have any ending. Let any claim for deith benefit or for cash loan lw: come due upon this Order and, if it not paid quicker than a flash, then accuse me. I thank God that I have learned and know this business of low cost fraternal benefit mutual protection. T know whereof I speak and I call upon the 1119111!.01._\-II:II to stick with the ship. My father steered the old Good Samara tan ship for years through many stormg and always camevhi‘”" to port bringing valuable cargoes into the homes of our grief and distress stricken members’ families thrughout these United States of America. Believe me, my duty is a sacred trust handed from a father to a son. More than that, I can fiot fail a man who gav® = much and so great a service towards wiping out human suffering. His Good Samaritan ship will go on. I will be at the holm‘ and will sail it safey through every storm, bringing home to every Samaritan port’ that same relief to the stricken members families as did my father. Plans have also been made for the ship to go on when lam herg no longer to man the helm. Thele tore, no one should ever be afraid of what may happen, Members stand fast where you are. Arise, fight and strike down any slagder upon the mame of our noble work. Let th’; unhappy experiénce inspire us to become stronger and more useful than ever. Go nmow and stay upon the field until our Goo Samaritan ship is with a port in every home in the land! : Eaid : ) This is Christmas time, members be of good cheer! Afterwards, busy yourself by carrying the spirit far into. the Nev Year to bring into our folds the countless thousandg who are still without. . v P . ‘ g Lo ‘Most Sincerely. . : (OUR PLAN COMPELS m?lgﬂm WRITE FOR IT— e o Al R B AR, e - ALWAYS OPENINGS FOR WORKERS.) i pe gt i e L SeNeE Segj:a ' ground for the week.

FAIRLY ACTIVE NEW ORLEANS.—(#)—Cotton was fairly active in the short Saturday session. With Liverpool cables much better than due and with the need of advancing to the parity of New York, owing to that market’'s advance Friday after the early close here the opening was rather firm and there were fair trade buying orders as well as price fixing in evidence which gave a. slight upward slant to prices. - WHITLEY WILL NOT CONTEST REJECTION OF LOW ROAD BIDS ..ATLANTA .—(#)—The threat of John E.
