Be Broad and Generous.-"No human being ever lost anything of value by appreciative words and acts toward another. It is such a grand, beautiful universethere is so much room between us and the stars for generous and broad emotionsthere is such a vast audience, human and divine, for each one of us--why not realize it and reach out helpful hands and warm thoughts to one another as journey towards the goal? One soul can no more crowd another in this life than one star can crowd another in God's glorious firmament. Let us be ashamed of every petty emotion that creeps to our minds and hearts, and shut the door upon it, and open wide the portals of our souls to all that is great, broad, generous and noble.

In evidence of the success of their concerted efforts we submit the subjoined clipping from the same journal of a later issue: "The supper served by the Ladies Society last night in Watt's Hall in conjunction with the annual ball of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was both a social and a financial success that far exceeded the ladies' most sanguine expectations. The fact that they had only a period of eight days to effect the necessary preparations shows by well directed energy and zeal their ability to cope with exigencies of this character. The members of White Rose Lodge 180 are most grateful to their cohelpers who tendered them such valuable assistance in the preparation of their spread and are likewise sensible of the patronage of their friends." The sisters were somewhat embarrassed by the brief time at their disposal, but they surveyed the situation complaisantly, laid out definite plans preparatory to the event and then worked like beavers to ac "Learn to laugh.

The brothers of Van Bergen Lodge 62 are justly proud of their auxiliary and the very gratifying encouragement they received. They are also very grateful to the sisters, and are not unmindful of the friends who jointly assisted in making their own annual ball a most pleasing success. Letters from Friends. L. S. 180-(A Friend, Carbondale, Pa.) In the course of social events it is very gratifying to note the meritorious part acted by the members of White Rose L. S. 180. A short time ago the Evening Leader, of Carbondale, Pa., contained the following notice: "One of the attractive features of the annual ball of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen on Friday night, January 22d, in Watt's Hall, will be the supper that the auxiliary ladies will serve. Judging from the activity among the auxiliary members and the elaborate selections they are making from a great diversity of L. S. 49-(President, Minneapolis, Would you like to hear what we Minn.) are doing in Minnesota? We have been very busy since our last report to the Magazine. On the 10th of December the writer organized a Ladies Society, to be known as "Pride of St. Paul, No. 25." The fifteen charter members of this new lodge are bright, energetic sisters, and the success of L. S. 25 is assured. She also visited Golden Jubilee Lodge 171, of Austin. After a very interesting meeting the doors were opened and a ban quet was served, to which the brothers of Comet Lodge 126 and their families were invited. A fine program of music followed. Golden Jubilee Lodge is only one year old. It has a membership of 28, and is as fine a society as there is in the State. The writer was royally entertained at the home of a hospitable sister. She was presented with a souvenir spoon and a pearl paper cutter by the members of 171. It is to be hoped that the future of these sisters may be a continuous "golden jubilee." May the Grand Master who rules from on high direct them in their service of Friendship and Charity, and when their work on earth is done, bid them welcome to His home on whose altars the fires of love will not be quenched forever more.
