60 Years of Service
The strne tu re of our Fraternity that
has been planned by our Founďers has
grown strong and secure. — Tliis year

grown to July 1 by 780 new members
and our Assets to 9,056,619.62

of Dollars háve been distributed by our
S. P. J. S. T. for insurance benefits and
in tangible demonstration of the re-
cognition of h.usran values, provision
for our orphans, for the aged. — The,
influence of our order has been a pow-
erful l'aetor in furthering the cause of
tolerance and good will.
Today our SPJST occupies a justly
pre-eminent position aimiong the lead-
ing institutions in our State.. — Why?
-— Because it has and will meet the
needs of men and women and their
famihes, not only through Insurance,
but through a Fraternity as welL.
Of course we are thankful for the
success of Fraternalim, not only to our
ranks, for the splendid spirit of co~
