"The main point of emphasis has been, and desirably so, the new member. Then follows the constant worjc of retaining a membership once a% acceptable name is added to our roll. The third aspect of membership building, that of retrieving the lost member^ possibly does not receive the attention it really merits, and it is with the purpose of bringing this phase of our work to the attention of our Council's ranks, that this article is written. "The former Knight of Columbus, --the fellow who "used to belong,'-- what about him ? Are we to be content with the knowledge that at one time he was proud to be with us and that at •some future time he may perhaps come back, or are we to pursue the more brotherly role by exercising sufficient initiative in a sincere endeavor to return him to the fold ? "Providing of course he continues, to possess the quality of character which originally recommended him for mem bership, the case of the former Knight should not be neglected. For reasons best known to himself he ceased to be a member.

"To ijpgain the lost member requires organization and effort, strengthened with the use of tact and diplomacy.

The ships, designated by a signboard as the "U. S. La I dap Fleet," were part of the bridge of vessels that America rushed to completion near the close of the war. They were to have been used to transport 2,000,000 more American soldiers to foreign soil; to carry foodstuffs and munitions to the greatest" expeditionary force in the history of the world. After the armistice, the fleet quickly was turned to carrying foodstuffs to stricken European countries, and returning unused munitions to the United States. Foreign tonnage mostly was destroyed in the war and this reserve fleet gave America unchallenged supremacy of the sea. American wheat and cotton was moved to all ports of the world- America was Independent and wealthy. Soon foreign ships began to appear again and trade began to slacken, so the less desirable of the American ships were laid up. Some were sold and transferred to service under foreign flags. The superior craft were left in the Borvlce, but the weaker ones were s~nt to "marine graveyard?!," to be f-rinppd. t Many of the vessels here have been partly stripped.

It is evident in nearly everything the man did, but especially is it striking in his military service during the Revolution and in his public communications during his administration as the First President of thi3 Country. , In his youth George Washington was probably as thoughtlessly concerned over religion; as are most young people. Nothing has been recorded of any particular church service he rendered daring his young manhood. However, as Commanding officer of the Virginia militia on the frontier during the Indian troubles of that section, Washington evinced a pronounced appreciation for religion. He wrote many insistent letters to Governor Dinwiddle requesti^' ii chaplain for his troops. Troops Ordered to Prayer4 ? At Fort Loudoun, Winchester, Virginia, when he was twenty-four years old, the young Colonel ordered that "the men parade tomorrow morning at beating the long roll, with their arms and ammunition clean and in good order, and to be marched by the Sergeants of the respective companies to the Fort, there to remain until prayers are over." When some of his officers appeared negligent in this matter he issued still more emphatic orders to the same effect. Thereafter, Sunday services among these frontier troops was a standing order. Perhaps after his marriage Washington was influenced to some extent in his church attendance by Mrs. Washington. While no positive statement can be made to this effect, it nevertheless appears likely from a study of the records, that Washington's attendance at church became a bit moreconsistent after his marriage. In those of hi9 diaries which have been preserved covering the time he was at Mount Vernon, there is « record of Washington's attendance at church, either at Pohick or Christ Church in Alexandria on an average of once a month. From this time forward, Washington attended church wherever possible. As vestryman of both Pohick and Christ Church, he was concerned in administrative affairs of the church. Fasted All Day An interesting incident with regtf* to Washington's religious life is the fact that on June 1, 1774, the day the. Boston Port Bill became effective, Washington recorded in his diary that he "went to Church and fasted all day." This wasf in accordance witH the proclamation issued by the/fioofte of Burgesses. Throughout, the Revolution, even when hope ebbed to the depths, Washington believed that Providence was directing the affairs of America, He knew better than any other man the great difficulties which stood in the way of success. Better than any one else he knew that the cause had been saved from ruin by some event totally unexpected when it appeared that no human effort could rescue it. - . No finer attitude of tolerance for other men's faiths and beliefs has ever been given than that of George Washington's^. Always he opposed persecution of any nature, and insisted that it was men's right to worship God as he saw fit. The trueworth of George Washington's religion is expressed in his last words which he breathed with the greatest of difficulty, "I felt from the first, that the disorder would prove fatat . . . but I am not afraid to go."

Economy Brings Cut In Per Capita Tax The Supreme Council per capita assessment for January 1, 1932, is seventy cents, fifteen cents less than the per capita assessment of last Jan uary. This reduction in the cost of maintaining the various departments of the Ord^T has been brought about in spite of a substantial falling off in the Supreme Council's income. It has been necessary to effect many economies but in no case have these been allowed to result in a diminution of the valuably service* rendered by the Order. •• It Is sald that" publishers have ne#$F been able to bring out a book entirely free from errors.
