The Renaissance of the Junior Order
of the promotion of Junior Lodges within the jurisdiction of Senior Lodges. There have been very few inquiries and active demonstrations in the direction of the proposition of the Executive Committee to enroll young men in the Mooseheart Junior Lodge No. 1, where it is impracticable to institute Junior Lodges at the present time. We would therefore repeat the conditions of this offer of the Executive Committee.
Any young man of good moral character between the ages of 16 and 21 can be enrolled as a member, “beneficiary or non-beneficiary,” of Moose-heart Junior Lodge No. 1, if he is so situated that he can not unite with a Junior Lodge, or if there is no Junior Lodge in his vicinity. The Moose-heart Junior Lodge therefore becomes to the Junior Order what the Grand Lodge of Protection is to the Senior Order.
By signing an application blank,— and if he desires to become a beneficiary member,—signing a health certificate, a young man will, if all things are satisfactory, be directed to the Dictator of the nearest Loyal Order of Moose Lodge, who will give him the membership obligation of the Junior Order and send his name to Moose-heart Lodge No. 1, where he will be enrolled and to all intents and purposes acquire the rights, privileges and benefits of a Junior Moose.

HOW TO ORGANIZE
A JUNIOR LODGE
A large number of requests have come to us as to the ways and means for the organization and the institution of a Junior Lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. These requests became so numerous that we have prepared the following paragraphs which we have sent in answer to these requests.
The first step is to ascertain whether 25 or more young men of good moral character in the community, between the ages of 16 and 21, can be gathered for the organization of a Junior Lodge.
The next step is to secure a member of the Loyal Order who shall act as Governor of the Junior Lodge. This selection should be made in the name and by the authority of the Board of Officers of the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. When such selection is made, the name of the Brother selected will be sent to this office, and a blank application for the appointment of the Brother will be sent and filled out by the officers of the local lodge, expressing their faith and confidence in the ability and character of the Brother to act in such an important office in the Order of Moose. This application will be sent to this office, when a commission will be duly returned to the Brother, signed by the Hon. Wm. F. Broening, Supreme Dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose, and Governor-General of the Junior Order of Moose, appointing said Brother to the office of1 Governor for the lodge of the Junior Order.
The Governor so appointed will then proceed to get the names of 25 or more young men of good moral character who will constitute the charter members of the Junior Lodge.
The terms of membership in the Junior Order are as follows:	Non-
beneficiary members pay an initiation fee of $2.50, and dues $4.00 per annum, of which fee at least $1.00 is to accompany the application. Beneficiary members pay an initiation fee of $2.50, and dues $7.00 per annum. (The lodge pays $7.00 per week for total disability after the first week, for thirteen weeks; and $100.00 funeral expenses, provided the member has been in continuous good standing for six months or more prior to such illness.) Of the dues, whether beneficiary or non-beneficiary, $1.00 goes to MOOSEHEART. Reaching the age of 21, a member of the Junior Lodge will be transferred if he passes the ballot, to the Senior Lodge of the Moose, by the payment of $1.00 transfer fee.
When 25 or more applications have been signed, the names of the signers will be sent to this office with a request for a charter. All preliminary steps having been duly taken, a charter will then be granted upon the receipt of a warrant from the Governor for $37.50, to be paid out of the initiation fees collected. With the charter issued from this office, there will be sent the general laws of the Junior Order of Moose, all paraphernalia and books necessary for the institution and equipment of the Lodge, and literature bearing upon the further con-. duct and development of the lodge.
The ritual accompanying the paraphernalia gives explicit direction for the institution of the lodge.
MOOSEHEART JUNIOR
LODGE NO. 1
While the correspondence of the last weeks has demonstrated great interest in the development of the Junior Order of Moose, such interest has been shown altogether along the line
large numbers in the Junior Lodge in preparation for active and valuable work in the Senior Order when they get to be twenty-one years of age.
Evidently that sentence of Brother Harry R WoodaH in the last number of the Magazine caught the heart and thought of many of our leaders when he indicates what a feeder for the Loyal_ Order of Moose the Junior has been in Philadelphia Lodge and tells how in the years past about two hundred of the Juniors have joined Philadelphia Lodge No. 54, L. О. О. M., and then adds, “The members of the Senior Order are beginning to waken up to the advantages and importance of this thing, and I believe, and confidently expect, Quaker City Junior Lodge will have at least five hundred members on its books by March 31, 1920.
We Survive Only by Progress and Activity
We also_ confidently believe that if such a spirit as is demonstrated by Brother Woodall, Governor Quaker City Lodge No. 32, J. О. О. M.. could prevail in all Moose circles and breathe itself into many of the meetings of the Senior Lodges there would he such a waking up of Moose enterprise as to not only give countenance and co-operation to the Junior Order, but it would undoubtedly reflect its intenseness in gathering in new material for the Senior Order. It can not be denied that any organization can stand still for any time, it must either go forward or it will retreat. That is the story of all clubs, churches, organizations, societies, associations and fraternities. If they do not accumulate either by respectable numbers, or by the addition of new features, or by the creation of new feeders, or by the opening up of new leads, or by the reworking of old loads, they will most surely decline. This is a world old story. The old law-giver Moses, in looking over the graves of the thousands who were left buried in the wilderness when the time came to go over into Canaan, read this epitaph: “All these perished because of unbelief.” In the great world cemetery of societies, clubs, associations, and fraternities, there might be written over the entrance arch, “All these perished through inaction.”
We feel, therefore, that we are really supplying a new health motif for the lodges of the Loyal Order when we urge upon them this opportunity of renewing themselves by the aid of the Junior Order of Moose.
The Junior Slogan—Truth, Self-
Control, Aspiration, Love.
Then, too, there is that other feature^ that both Mr. John W. Ford, Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Governor Harry R. Woodall, emphasized in the November issue of the Magazine. As they say, “The principles of truth, self-control, aspiration and love are too grand to be lightly treated.” These words are the initial symbols of the Junior Order of Moose. The ritual in all its parts is woven out of these four words that form the symbol of the square of the Junior Order. Again and again is there insistence upon one or the other of these principles. Certain strong declarations, advices, caution and warning are given in this ritual, all tending toward the building of character and the creation of clean living and the standardization of high moral American citizenship.
We feel, therefore, that in presenting the Junior Order of Moose to the young men of the country we are not simply offering them the opportunities of material benefit in the Loyal Order of Moose, but we are also offering a course of study and practise in the
Things have been going at a promising gait since the Executive Committee of the Supreme Lodge resolved to start the fires going in the campaign for the revival of interest in the Junior Order of Moose.
It is scarcely six weeks since the Committee began work in this direction, and we have already to report very encouraging and promising evidences of interest and co-operation.
We were rather prepared for the milder forms of opposition in the way of refusals to take up the subject, and direct rejection of the proposition by lodges. But in all the large volume of correspondence that has accumulated since the November issue of the Magazine, not a single note of opposition, or objection, or criticism, has been uttered. Every correspondent seemed to take it for granted that the time is ripe for the advance movement. We have letters from many states, from far up Vancouver in British Columbia, and down through Washington, skipjling -over to Michigan, and then down through Illinois, Indiana and across Ohio to West Virginia, ^ through Pennsylvania and New York, and then skirting down to North Carolina. Everyone of these letters speaks in the usual Moose terms of enthusiasm. A number of them asked for information as to ways and means of starting a Junior Lodge, while others contained nominations by lodges of Governors, and requests for applications and blank health certificates in order to get to work at once. In several instances there has been no waiting for preliminary legal steps, but some member has gone out and collected a number of young men between the ages of 16 and 21, and sent in word that he wanted a Governor’s commission and a bunch of blank applications for his boys.
Let it not be understood from this that the whole Order of Moose is all on fire in enthusiasm of support and co-operation of this enterprise. That would be miraculous. It would be unreasonable to expect it. The most sanguine did not expect to get as quick and fruitful results in so short a time. If we were not met with direct opposition, a cold and freezing indifference was written in the horoscope of some. The aspect of the Moose heavens and star indications at the time of the launching of the enterprise were to some of us not at all encouraging, while others with a 1-rger faith in the progressive spirit of Moosedom and a better experience of the new spirit of the Order, heralded even greater results than those already attained.
The Horridness of Silence
However, there is indifference enough, and the horridness of silence from many lodges, to give the pessimists reason enough to say, “We tofd you so.” We believe that this indifference is going to melt down and that a large number of the local lodges of the Loval Order of Moose will wake up to the great opportunities of these immediate months to reap large harvests from the millions of young men in the towns and cities of the country. Our hope for this is founded_ on the kind of people that are sending in these inquiries asking for Governors’ commissions, and offering their co-operation. For instance, there are prominent men in the Organization Department who are taking such a personal interest in the Junior campaign that they, themselves, are acting as Governors, gathering in the young men.
We do not hear the old excuse of years ago that organizers, supervisors and other high officials of the Order are too busy to give attention to this matter of the Juniors. Many of them realize what a source of supply the Junior Order can become to the Loyal Order of Moose if in any town or city the young mpn r?~e gathered in
