FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.
In an article dealing with Friendly Societies, the "Oamaru Mail" says that the trouble in the past has been the quite natural wish to reduce contributions so as to attra'ct membe"s and render the weekly payments easy; and with this end in view, undoubtedly, inadequate contributions ihave been allowed. Societies are, however, now fully aware of the suicidal trend of such a policy; and in many instances steps have been taken to remedy a condition of affairs which could only in the long run terminate in financial disaster. It may be taken as a sound working principle that no man should contribute to the funds of a lodge a less sum than will honestly secure for him the benefits promised by the rules of the Order to which he belongs.
