The) Grand Court of the Foresters of
America. Is In biennial session at Potta
villa thin week. This jurisdiction com
prises 267 courts, with 84 accredited
representatives entitled to vote, and a
membership of nearly 10,000. Tha following-
review of tha order Is presented by
X. O. C, It. Charles P. Uradfey. who has
given for many years devoted effort to the
general and senulne progress of the organi
sation: . "The traditions! history places tha origin In
the year 1006. when the ancient Koilri
banded themselves together In Sherwood forest
to defend their liberties and to resist the In-
vaaer. vney practiced uenevoience na lauam
unity, concord and constancy, and stood steadfast
and faithful Jn Inculcating the spirit of liberty
until It took firm hold upon the hesrts of tho
people, and wrested the glorious Magna Charts,
that brought freedom to tho race. Tha virtues
of their manhood have withstood the asssults
of tlma and stand forth after 881 years, radiant
and Immortal. Descended to and embodied In
tha Foresters of America, they shine a galaxy
t of truths pointing to a better and nobler life
"Tha authentlo documentary history, trscesbla
without Interruption nor mining record, begins
tn 1780, Just as liberty purchased by the blood
of tha heroes of 1779 began to eiert Us potent
power and to Its preservstlon and defense every
Forester pledges his all. In tha formative period
tha order mada slow growth and many of the
original branches became extinct ss years rolled
on. Court Ooodspeod tn l'hlladelphla In 1832,
tor example,
"In 1684 a court was opened In llroolclyn and
It celebrated recently Its fifty-third anniversary.
The dark days of tha Hebelllon. Ib61-lf63. came.
ana wim tnem deterring eneci upon me growin
of the order, as of all fraternities Near Its
close came a period of rejuvenation which con.
tlnued for a quarter of a century (104-1881)).
when tha order showed B60 courts, with RO M0
members and surplus treasury of S280 000.
throughout the reunited nation. It was during
thst epoch that Its motto, unity, assumed a
more prominent significance that has never
since lost the Import of tha lesson that our
nation should ever be bound tn the eternal
spirit of brotherhood, linking In tha golden
chain of expanding sympath. hesrt with heart
and hand with hand, and tha lesson Is Im
pressed upon tha Forester that empty profess.jn
of the motto does not sufflre, but Vint he must
live and act all that It Implies and Imposes.
"From 1S89 onward tho title of the order has
been 'The Foresters nf America, that of the
The Ancient Order of Foresters," Its former
appellation, being changed at V national con
vention, held at Minneapolis, Av T IS of that
year, with Its change In title tuv- no ohange
In bsslo principles, recognized In Its unwritten
work as Imparted by th ritual In the exempli
fication of the four pillars of the temple of Its
fraternal designs, outwardly expressed In the
Mnlln.i llhaplv unltv. henevolencn And concord
Hut In addition to its ethical teaching tha order
proposes as objects It seeks to attain:
(a) 'To unlto fraternally all whlto men of
good moral character and of sound bodily health,
between thj ages of eighteen and fifty years,
believers In the Supremo Being, that constitutes
what Is clsssliled as the beneficial membership,
or those entitled to the financial benefits Tha
Social and honorary class, net being recipients of
pecuniary assistance tendered as benents, are
not restricted to the age limitation of fifty eare,
but must qusllfy under the other conditions
requisite for ainilatlon with the fraternlti. , ,
(N 'To give all moral and material aid In Its
power to Its members and those dependent upon
(0) To educate Its 'members socially, morally
and Intellectually, and to provide relief and aid
In sickness and distress, burial at death, and to
Inspire its members with the elevating Influence
of a proper recognition of the stern realities and
responsibilities of life.
"The order la nonsectarlan and nonpollllcal.
as It plainly teaches, lie recognize all sects In
religion and codes In politics, but allow none
thereof to Influence nor Intrudo Into our fra
ternal circles,, and In Its ranks are men of all
persuasions and cults, who conscientiously
firactlce the dictates of their belief In Hod. It
s In no sense a church organization, neither Is
It an Irreligious nor a nonrellglous body, and
as to partisan politics, that la banned from Its
meetings and functions
"Composed of gentlemen of good moral char
acter. It Is a manly man's society No horseplay
nor tomfoolery Is allowed under the guise of
Initiatory formula In any of Its 15UU courts In
the country. Tho Induction ceremonial Is digni
fied and edifying as bents the lessons It Imparts,
Ample opportunities are aflorded In Ita good and
welfare section, social events, and entertainment
projects for innocent, clean, amusing features
and recreative enjoyment factors It discoun
tenances the club Idea of a bar. claiming the
revenue from such source Inconsistent with tha
high moral plane of Its object, and while not a
direct propagandist In any temperance move
ment, its laws are strict upon the abuse of
Intoxicants, and tho use of liquor at Its festal
boards Is well nigh becoming a lost need of
aupply by Its catering artists, and so. indi
rectly at least, Is fostering the spresd of tha
Sreat temperance movement, so noticeable to
y In America, -
'The broadness of Its sane and sensible
purposes. Its really Intensified American Ideals
of true liberty and genuine unity, devoid, as It
Is. of snob partisanship, with Its abhorence of
the destructful cursa of ignorant bigotry In
any and all of Its direful effects and forms, has
mada men worth while Investigate Its system,
until the accessions to Its ranks have rapidly
Increased, so that its roster today shows a
membership of, In round numbers, a quarter of
a million of stalwart men of the nation. Its
slogan, 'Attend to your own business," has
been so well adhered to In Its practices that
men of all, or nearly all, of the other fraternal
societies are enrolled and rank as Its ablest
Jromoters. Its policy Is and has been not to
ompate with, but to co-operate with all units
ef the fraternal system, while not lessening Its
efforts In Its own chosen sphere.
"Tha motto 'Benevolence" does not find Its
full manifestation In any statistics of monetary
disbursement, but In the personal application,
by the devoted membership, of the Golden ltule,
whereby Its votaries are united In the bonds
f sympathy and the cords of their union throb
with a common Impulse.
"But a brief summary of even the benefac
tions showered through tha channel of the sick
and death benefits bestowed dlclosea since 1880
tha sum of (52,000,000. Yet the surplus funds
bave grown to nearly (0,000,000. Its average
yearly receipts count up a round sum of 12,500,
000, which, after meeting the yearly liabilities,
leavea upward of 1200,000 excess to meet con
tingencies of the future years No exorbitant
salaries are paid, all must devote their time
cratultously save those few wholly employed,
who receive but ordinary compensation Herein
Ilea the secret of Its solvent treasuries "
"The protection system provides doctor and
apothecary service without limitation, according
to the needs of the member, a weekly cash
benefit, graded by the length of Its continuance,
from IS to 12. but with no closing period,
except the recovery or tho demise of the mem
ber: a funeral benefit, both at tha death of tho
wife and that of tha member, the care for tha
dependent window and orphans, The benefac
tions are bestowed by tha court nesrest ths
domlolle of tha member, no matter In what
part of tha country he may reside, and that
court Is reimbursed by his local body and guar
anteed by tha Grand Court. In addition, If In
ntediprionatlons are given supplemental to tha
benefits.' Each Slate regulates Its own local
laws, which In essentlsls must conform to the
requirements of tho general laws of the order.
Every local court can make by-laws to suit
the conditions confronting It. but such must be
approved by the Grand Court of tha State and
can only be approved when they do not con
flict with tha general laws of the order.
"Tha dues are fixed by esch court, but can
not go beyond a fixed maximum sum In Penn
sylvania the average dues are seventeen cents
a week. No assessments are allowed to be
levied by any court, except by permission of
the Grand Court, and that only for a designated
object and time limit set. It Is rarely a court
has to resort to such expediency
"While the benefit system Is In vogue. It Is
only regarded as a secondary consideration, as
the order could and would protect Its afflicted
and dlstresssd members as a resultsnt outcome
of Its very principles, which It demands be
rut In practical effect. It lays more atresa upon
ts fraternal, patriotic, moral, educational and
social aspects and alms to elevate mankind to
a higher plana and motive In tha travel through
tha forest of life, using even the benefit system
as a means to that end Ho In Us motto,
'Concord.' It centers the lessons thst the other
three Inspire, and Inculcates conformity In Ufa
to Its needful duties.
"Recognlied by the order and encouraged and
promoted by It are:
'The Juvenile branch, for boys twelve to
eighteen yesrs. When at tha latter age they are
affiliated with the senior body, as they are
regarded virtually as adult courts In miniature.
The Junior branch dates from 1810.
'The Companions of tha Forest, organised In
1883. sod. tha later branch, Lady Foresters, or
a.nlzed about 11)07, are Intended mainly for tha
bestowal of the protective benefits of Forestry
upon women Both are managed by women
entirely, and ths male organization bss no par

'The Ancient Order of Shepherds, the second
degree of the Foresters, tifTords an additional
benefit system, as well as Its other distinctive
features, and was recognized In 1683, It has
Its own board of officials.
'The Knights of Sherwood Forest was organ
ized In our city In 1878 and recognized as
ths third degree. It Is a aemlmliltary and
uniformed body. Its branches being known as
conclaves, and added to Its particular phase
Is another protective benefit plan, and the
branch Is directed by Its own officials.
"Membership In the second and third degrees
Is not compulsory, but optional, as the For
esters of America contains In Itself all tha
baelo principles Inculcated by Forestry and the
added recognized adjuncts, but glvs emphasis to
ths principles, not organic, of any further or ad
vanced class or nature
'The Foresters of America Is not literally a
secret society. Its written work Is so simple
and M short as hardly to be regarded as In
thst, category. Apart from tha privacy to with
hold the names of the beneficiaries of Its bounty
from outside publlo notice of the fsct of the
bestowal of benevolence, and to preserve de
corum suitable to tha requirements of Its estab
lished procedure, all else of Its work could be
dona openly, and were It so. there Is no doubt
the lpiPresslons It would make would be bene
