KNI&MfB QW CQItWMBIA^S AD&PTXQN O^ A.TVrJI3BIOA, Organized at London, Ontario, Canada, December 9th, 1879, for the BerteHt of the Human Race, without Regard to Nationality, Creed, or Color. Tht Applicant mtut be a BeUevev in the Supreme Being, To all Charitable Secret Societies and others : Yon are respectfully requested to read the following circular in your Lodge, aa hy so doing you will not only benefit any of your members who may hereafter unite themselves with the Knights of Columbia's Adoption, but assibt to make the Order more widely known, thereby conferring a benefit on those already in the Socioty, and on humanity generally. The object of this Society is to inokb provision for deceased members' families. The founders of this Institution are old fraternity men, and from long and active connt ction with other Societies, have concluded there is yet room for the Knights of Columbia's Adoption to do a good work, and benefit humanity on an economical basis. The most noticeable feature will be th« curtailing of expenses tliioughout the whole management— a very important improvement these times of dollars and cents. To save money is to make money, and the expenses of this Order will be worked down to a minimum. .,..,, - r, <, . , ^. , To open a Subodinate Union a fee of only eleven dollars is charged for a Charter, which will include a fine Press Seal and Rituals ; and as the Constitution requires eleven members to form a new Union, this would only be one dollar each, except where an instituting or organizing officer is de- sired when his expenses are to be paid— nine dollars extra. But any eleven can send an application, with the $11.00, when one of them will be appointed a Deputy Councillor, with authority to institute the Union, thus saving the expenses. ^Ve think every man in the land who has dependant* Bhould join with us in the great and good work. The age is limited to between 18 and 55 years. Then the working expenses of a Union will be from seventy-five cents to one dollar ard fifty cents per month, according to the number of members in the Union— only the cost of a Hall to meet in, which in a Union of seventy-five membe/a, should only be about two cents per month for each member, and in the same proportion in a larger or smaller number The great object of this fraternity is to provide an endowment for widows and children of members, which is raised in a very easy manner, aa follows : When a death occur.i in any Union, the Penman at once notifies the Supreme Penman, under seal, as provided in the Constitution, who at once notifies all the Subordinate Unions, giving name of deceased and tho name and address of the Cashier of the Union where the death occurred when each Union at once sends to that Cashier th^um of only five centa for eaah member on the books ; and as no more t» -n five hundred dollars is' paid at any one death by one Union, any balance over and above that sum will bo sent to tha Supreme Cashier to be dflpc. u J in bank until those balances shall amount to five hundred dollars, which will be paid on the next death, and no call will be made. Members can join two Union*, andhavedoubleinsuranoebjr paying assessments in each Union. * ^ ■, ^, , . . , ^ , .„ The secret workings, signs, etc., of the Order are as fine as any other, the advantages as great, and the endowment extra, and at a cost that will enable every man in the land to have an insurance for the benefit of those he may leave helpless behind. Tae Constitution is arranged so that none will be deprived of the endowment if the regular calls are kept paid. Although insubordination may deprive a member of meetings in the Union, the endowment holds good. We think all should have value for whr* is paid for, hence this new regulation. We are desirous of forming a Union wherever there are eleven or more good men in a locality, and all applications received from any quarter of America will have immediate attention. You can, with your friends, make a good club and send the cash for Charter, Seal and Rituals, say eleven dollars. All members, whether joining the club, or after the Union is formed, must pay one dollar each for membership. Members wives can procure a certificate and become endowment members at one-half the rates of their husbands, and are insured for one-half tha amount, but are not initiated or received into the meetings. , ,. , ,..,-•..* ^ i i.- . »j i- t AH the paraphernalia is very moderate, economy being one of the great leading features of the Knights of Columbia s Adoption. "^ * When you fill up your list, give names in full ; also, age, occupation and post office addresn, and the three principal officers to appear in th« Charter viz., Distinguished Councillor, Assistant Distinguished Councillor, Second Assistant Distinguished Councillor. Partiea forwarding cluha will, at the same time, recommend one person in their county who is competent to take charge of the work, who will receive the appointment of Instituting Councillor, with instructions to institute all Unions in the territory allotted to Um.
