About two weeks ago' Mr, Blake's condition took a change tor the worse, Hel sank rapidly, .and yesterday •afternoon it became apparent that the end was near. Dr. Wm.

For the last two years he had unnertaken no work whatever, spending the sum- mer mandate at Murray! Bay.

Archdeacon Cody of St. Paul's Church conducted a short pray- er service at the Blake nisi elm° on Jarvis street, after which the body was removed to the chapel in St. James' demetery. The regular ser- vice of the Church of England was then gone tluough, and interment took place in the private vault of the Blake family in the cemetery. An eloquent tribute was paid to the late Mr, Blake by Archdeacon Cody in his sermon at St. Paul's _Church after the funeral. Concluding his ser- mon, in which he emphasized the necessity of individualism in church life, Anna:le/icon Cody said: "In speaking of being oneself our minds must have gone out to recall one great Canadian who emphatically would' be himself, one who possibly would have been more suoceSSful as many would say, if he had not deter- mined to be himself. On this cold, bright white day, so typeal of a Canadian day, one of the greatest a Canada's sons was laid to rest with- out pomp er ostentation, surrounded only by tlaose of his own kith and kin, who loved hire best. • cans of the strongest and most striking personali. ties in our Canadian lite has passed from us." 404.•••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • •• • •'• •••••-, - • , • • •• • •• -•• ••. ••. ••.•I • l• ••• • ,• • • .• •••,, • . • • .- • • t • • • • . • RANDLO6GE MEETS IN TORONTO FROM MARCH 20-21 AND WILL DISCUSS THE QUESTION.

The new inembe•ro who came in at the age of 28 now will contin- ue to pay $2.14 only until they die.

And now instead of $2.12 anacinth I will have to nay $5.381". The Officers' Statement. According to •officers of the soc- iety the facts are tsimply these, In !the year 1911, the surplus in the beneficiary fund was reduced from $100,457.46 to $16,358.00 by death claims. There was a deficiency( of $84,000 'between ,the collections and 'the matured ,co,ntracts. So far the) reserve fund 00 one and one half million remains intact, bearing in- terest at an, avertage of 43-4 per cent. But if some action isnot taken at the next meeting of the Grand Lodge in March the officers realize that it .canriott be long be- fore the surplus' and the reserve are both exhausted. In 1905 the A. 0. U. W. tadopted the scale of rates recommended by 'the late Dr. 'Hunter, inspector of in- suranee for the Province 06 •Ontario. These rates still prevail, nor Will they be changed. But( the agesat which the rates are 'based vary from 16 years to 49, the monthly as- se,ssments ranging from: $1.48 to $5.38per ,annum, taking the popul .ar $2,000 .certificate as a basis, The Actuary's Advice. In 1910 the orner employed on actuary to go irate the inaunance system of the United Workme'n and report. This insurance expert; ad- vised that to offset ,the weakness in the beneficiary ;fused that had STOINVII 'through the unscientific rakes in force orginagy, ,and for aij these yentas, that( old members ho aosessed under the naw and in- allaSed rates( and at their at- tained ages in the year 1905, instead °fat ,the ages of joining the order. In this way Only ,could they in fair. nes make up Inc Ithe deficit their overly -cheap insurance bad brought about, and in this way only could all the members of the society start off their mutual insurance on an equal basis. The Grand Lodge did not accept the advice of Itim actuary in 1910, In this respe,ett, bun the po,sitian of 'the order is anal theft it now seems necessary to do so. Accordingly, it is new proposed that old raehrbera will be re -rated ornthe new schedule according to their attained ages on May 1, In the year 1905. "No member who entered the A. 0..T.LW. tatter 1905 Wig be disturb- ed," said an 'Oficial. "The new rate is for ,new members anthe age of entry, and for told members at ' their age in 1905.
