MOOSE LITERATURE
as force is to motion, and wherever it is’ discarded and disregarded apathy dwells, and interest m Moosedom languishes.
This is as inevitable as when the plant which is severed from its root, or is deprived of a hold in ״arth and light, heat and moisture, must perish.
Therefore, when we hear of a lodge having a number of members, and a slim attendance at its meetings, we do not inquire the cause, for we know the fuel that supports the fire of zeal is not supplied.
Elegant work, choice music, eloquent lectures and pleasant social entertainments are excellent, but not all.
Moose intelligence is the first requisite.
If you know about Mooseheart you will love it and dedicate■ your life in service to the “City of Childhood.”
MOOSE MEAT
Success means sacrifice!
A silent man may be wise; a talker must be!
If you are a good Moose, you will be a better man.
To escape criticism: Do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
Failure is only for those who think of failure.
Faith and work made Mooseheart, and will produce other miracles.

The elemental truths are still true; the man whose word is good is still the secret hero of our inmost hearts.
Get your neighbor in the “Defending Circle.” The Moose needs him, but his family needs Mooseheart protection more.
When “the tumult and the shouting” dies down, the strong man, the strong institution, the true artist, and the true workman, in any and every vocation, is more solidly entrenched than ever.
EMPTY STOCKINGS ANO BROKEN HEARTS
CHRISTMAS is both a glad time and a sad time. Sad for the poor and neglected.
But there is one city, where no child is rich and none poor; where every child has enough and none too much; where on Christmas morn there is not a single stocking empty, and not a single heart broken.
Mooseheart Christmas is a glad time.
Here in the “City of Childhood” there is no sorrow and no neglect.
As we enjoy our big Christmas dinners, surrounded by happy families and laughing, joking friends, let us not forget the poor and sad and forsaken of the world.
Let us thank our Creator for His goodness to us and our’s.
If we have neglected to send our contribution to the Mooseheart Endowment fund, let us do it on Christmas day.

THE LEDGER MEMBER
YOU get out of your lodge just exactly what you put into it.
If you attend lodge you will make many friends.
If you go to lodge you will know what’s going on.
If you are active about the lodge room, in time of sickness or misfortune your many friends will call and cheer you.
But if you never went to meeting, and have never become acquainted, they will not feel like calling on you.
Of course the welfare director will call on you in his usual routine.
If death should come, and you have been just a ledger member the secretary will mail to your widow the usual amount of sick benefits and funeral expenses.
Your loved ones will get the protection, after you are gone.
But if you stayed away from lodge, if you didn’t get to know your brothers, you will have missed the friendship, the fraternalism, and much of the best part of Moosedom.
Don’t be a ledger member!
Humanity may be a million years old in point of time, but it is as young as this morning’s sun in its pursuit of the ideal.
A little less loose talk and fewer wild-eyed agitators will best serve this country.

THE IDEAL GOVERNMENT
ALL OVER this changing and unsettled world old governments have been going down, and new governments are being set up.
In some lands, the bright light of liberty has blinded the eyes so long accustomed to darkness, oppression, ignorance, superstition and tyranny.
Some people have mistaken lawlessness for liberty; have set up “mob-oeracy” instead of democracy.
Fraternalism, religion, progress, popular education and orderly government go hand in hand, and always bring happiness and peace.
In our struggle for the new and the better, let us not forget the old that is good.
In our victory over old oppressions, let us not set up new tyrannies.
. Let us remember that even minorities have rights, and that the ideal government is a government of law, that all must obey, rich or poor, the strong and the weak.
All men should stand equal before the law. All governments which guarantee this, are good governments, and protect both property and human rights.
