For the first time since the council was instituted, White Cross council, Knights of Columbus, was honored Friday night, by a visit from Supreme Secretary Willlam J. Me- Ginley, and with him, for the first official visit since he has been at the head of the order in Connecticut, was State Deputy William J. Cronin of New Haven. The announcement of the coming of these prominent members of the order was sufficient to attract one of the largest attendances of members that mbled this year. The seating of the spacious council chan:- ber. was taxed fo capacity sometime before the meeting opened and extra chairs were provided for those who No. 13, ht J. A.

Foliowing the business session, ht Desmond Invited the iecturer, M. J. Coscoran, 1o of ‘the meeting. In his remarks, Mr. Coscoran said | larze attendance was 2 great to the popularity of the two hed visitors and that he was ain that the members would be in- ed to greater efforts in council by the messages which they _He then introduced State Dep- m J. Cronin, stating _that progress now being made under agministration marked him as one e best state deputies that Con- has had. Mr. Cronin, before his address paid a high te to the loyalty and comstruction 1c of {he local council and _praised the officers for the manner In which e business of the meeting was con- ducted. He then delivered a splendid address on the basic principles of Co- lumbianism and toid of the great pro- gress that is being made n every sec- tion of the state, both as regards in- creased membership and in promoting the principles for which the order stands. Mr. Coscoran then introduced Su- preme Secretary McGinley, highls eulogizing him as an official who had earned the good will of the entire membership by his untform courte: and his strict attention to the exacting details of the largest Catholic fraternai organization 4n the world. Mr. McGinley prefaced his remark: by complimenting the council on ths good progress it is making and stat- ed that the official records show that it is one of the fastest growing and most active councils in the order. He then delivered an address on the bus- iness side of the order, dealing par- ticularly with the insurance feature, that contained a fund of information for the members and which claimed the closest attention of those privileged to_hear it. He said in part: The age of chivalry is gone. That wonderful institution of mediaeval times, Knighthood, has passed away. council take cf openi that th tribute rust, his_soul is with the Saints, wo trust” But the soul of Chivalry, the Spirit of Knighthood, that fair flower- ing of the glorious ages of the faith, lives on, and, please God, will never entirely ‘disappear from this earth so long as one true son of that immortal Mother that gave the faith to you and to_me, surv We believe that as Knights of Co- lumbus and staunch sons of that an- cient Faith which produced those he- roes of other days, we in a sense share with them in that nobility of the olden times, a_nobility indeed that confers not a privilege but rather imposes an obligation. Pleasing Indeed would it be to attempt to trace this spirit of Chivalry, of self-sacrifice, of true fraternity in the record of our order. Agreeable and interesting, however, as this méght prove, I feel that as one of your Supreme Officers, having seen what to de with the business side of tly order, it was better that I should d¥cuss with you as business men the miin business of the order itself, our tnsurance sy: What Insurance ls. Before taking up that remarkable chapter relating to our insurance plan, it might be In order to consider brief- ly and in a general way the subject of_insurance. It has been well said that life in surance is one of the greatest econ- omic triumphs of this progressive age. Insurance is based on the laws of probablity. The house may burn; the ship may be lost; the man may not live the allotted three score and te: hence insurance. On the other hand, the house may not burn; the ship may not be lost, but to all men it is appointed once to dfe. Al that live must dle passing through Nature to Eternity. -~ That which is left fo ehance is not whether he will die, but how soon he will die. Lite insurance, therefore, strictly speaking is not protection against the certainty of death, but rather against the uncertainty of life. This protection afforded by life in- surance Is a real, actual tangible and definite thing of a known cost, and {3 the valuable consideration given in ex- Billings P. flled dn the probate | tators favorite charity, and one money for many yeers.

As a matter of fact the bastc principles are of necessity alike in each. It is & matier of common knowledgs however, that fraternal insurance is the life insurance protection of the great mass of people of moderate means by reason of its convenient method of easy monthly gayments and O Han Deen statea 28 stated that, Toguhly speaking, one person out of every three or four is to a greater or less degree dependent on fraternal insur- ance. The strength of fraternal in- surance lies in its low cost of man- agement. It may be said, that for the most part fraternal societzes have been economically and honestly administer- ed and in many the expenses have been So mominal that it might almost be said that practically every dollar col- lected from members has been return- ed in benefiits. I have referred to that wonderful phase of the order’s history in con- nection with its insurance system. Re- markable as has been its development in other activities and lines of en- deavors, in none has it been more im- portant or worthy of note than in the fleld of life insurance. This topic might well be treated under the title “The Evolution of the Knights of Co- lumbus Insurance System.” The order, as you know, was found- ed as a fraternal benefitiary society under a special charter granted by the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut.in the year 1882. Original Rates Insufficient. Down to 1902 our plan rested upon an un-scientific basis. Supposedly level rate insurance, it was really an- nual term insurance. It was equally crude and on a par with the fraternals of that day in failing to recognize that each member, old and young, must pay the cost of his own insurance; that life insurance is life insurance. wheth- er sold by a fraternal or by an old line company, and that the only ad- vantage a fraternal could offer was in the saving of running expenses, cost of agents and brokers ant stockholders’ profits. “Cheap Insurance” was the shibboleth among the fraternals of that day, this being invariably secured at the ex- of all—soundness.. As time went on several changes were made in the insurance plan of the order. Tn 1886 the soclety, for the first time transacted 1Its _ business through National officers. In 1891 it was found necessary to again amend the plans and the final change was made in 1901 when the three National Councils adopted the present Step Rate Plan which went into effect on January 1, 1902. Then for the first time we were placed on an adequate rate basis, on a safe and sound plan, worked out in accosdance h the ' principles . ot scientific life insurance by that weil recognized insurance expert, David Parks Fackler, Esa., former president of the Actuarial Society of America This all important and most f: reaching change in our system was brought about as the result of much careful consideration of the inequities and insecurities in the plan thereto- fore existing. The benefits of that change may be noted in the phenominal increase in membership that resutted. From = a membership of 32,000 on December 31, 1901, we have increased to 113,000; all mortality claims have been met promptly; asseis have at all times ex- cluding our reserves. Equal to the Best. It is the simple truth to say that we offer a life insurance protection con- tract, with up-to-date features, that is equal to the best in existenc: Ours is a combination step-rate and level-rate plan, combining in a hap- Dy medium the best qualitles of each. Every member upon entry pays at a rate "representing protection cost at hie age, with a moderate addition in order to insure a lower level rate up- on reaching age Our certificate offers. genuine protec.. tion. Tt cannot be assigned. Its ben- efits cannot be attached for debt. In- vestment and _speculation fentures which make life insurance expensive form no part of our contract. Since the beginning of our order we have pald out in death benefits over elght and- one-half millions of dollars fo the beneficiaries of our de- parted brothers. Today one hundred and thirteen thousand members are protected under our system to the ex- tent of $120,000,000 life insurance. Protecting the Home. Through this feature of ours we are In very truth engaged in promoting the permanance of that great and vital institution, the home. To broaden the fleld of our activity In this direction requires _concerted, persistent, hard work, but work wins. Perhaps some day the widow and the ozphan with full hearts and grateful will bless our efforts in their behalf. In any event, prompted by a proper fraternal regard and solicitude for your brother, you will have done your Quty as it lay at your hand to do. The Apostle Paul, in writing to his beloved desciple Timothy said, “But it any man have not care of his own and especially those of his house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel” St. James in his Catholic Epistle says, “Religion clean and un- defiled before God and the Father is this—to visit the fatherless and the widows in their tribulation and to keep one's self unspotted from the things of this world.” Surely through the means of our fraternal insurance plan a man “hath care of his own’ and by it we “visit the fatherless and the widows in their tribulation.” It is most commendable and praiseworthy to adopt resolutions of respect, sympathy and regret upon the death of a Brother Knight, but it is only in the case of an _insurance member that we are able to demqn- strate_effectively that our fraternal charity is seal—is practical. At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. McGinley was given an ovation and after the meeting closed the members were given an opportunity to meet Su- preme Secretary McGmrey and State Deputy_ Cronin. In addition to the members of the 1ocal council there was quite.a number in attendance from nearby councils, who came to pay their respects to the National and Stgte officers. Among those occup: seats on the platform with the Gi Knight and_speakers, were State Lecturer Rev. Willlam A. Keefe of Plainfield, Revs. Myles -P. Galvin and William H. Xennedy, State Advocate J. J.
