Ladiesand Gentlemen:
I am pleaned to see the ladies i
here tonight I regret t ere are not m
ofyou present. Yours is by the decre<
the Creator, the province of maki
borne a heaven. We read in the t?aci
8cripture, that when the Creator h
made man, be found it not good
man to be alone he gave woman
man. On you depends whether t
coming generation shall have int
twined within their very heart-strin
that place which above all others
thte earth shall be to them the dear
. spot on earth, where whether in ci
dish glee, or young manhood's act
prime, or old age's reminiscent uio<
we look back back at our happy chi
hood days, when tired from play or
tie aches and pains we nestled in (
mother's lap and in loving arms f

geirui.oi aii, 'en iu uusbiui muw
sleep. Yours is the province to e
bellish that borne, to plant a vine be
a sbrub and flower there, iD the bap
consciousness that this is your 01
home, where the wife aDd the Jit
ones listen for'the familiar and ev
welcome step of the bread wiuDer
the bouse, and where in the lovi
companionship the household is ne
led in the security of tbeir cawtle, ho
ever humble, none dare to molect
enter without being bidden to
do.
That we may gain a clearer und
standing of what position the buildi
and loan association system has s
tained in the industrial and econon
affairs of the world, perhaps it m
not be amiss to briefly and rapi(
sketch, in outline, the origin ana h
toryofsuch organizations.
My friends, it is not easy to fix \
on a date when and where these i
cities originated. Some writers ass<
that they existed in a crude form as I
back as the Ureeks, aunng meir x
publican form of government. Laf
they were *aid to be among the Ang
Saxons in Great Britain. But the e;
Jiest authentic imformation we have
that a society for the purchasing
dwellings was formed in Birmingbai
Eng., Jn 1781. So beneficial were iht
ana in such popular favor did ih
grow, that England has today perba
no less than 50,000 such institutioc
with a capital in subscribed shares
probaly two billion dollars, and
membership of two million stockho
ers.
In this country Pennsylvania w
the original home of the building a
loan association. The' tirst one w
organized in 1831 at what is now
suburb of Philadelphia, called Fran
fort, and today over 100,COO homes
Philadelphia and its environs ntaud
the credit of the great home buildi
idea.
In suoh favor have building and lo
Cl A _ .
associatiois grown in* many oia.<
where their bene fits have been demo
Btrated, that special favorable leg
lation has been enacted, amoDg win
is exemption from the burdens of ta
ation, even from the operation of ut
ry laws. Friends, It will no doubt
8uprl8lngto you to learn that wh
these associations recieve their life ai
their being from the wage-earni:
classes paying weekly the small bu
of 25 cents per share, that the coi
bined amont of subscribed shares w
on the 31st of December, 1902 (t
latent official report obtainable), t
. colossal sum of $600,000,000. Frc
a money standpoint these institutic
are second only in importance to t
combined paid-in capital of all the i
tionai banks in the United Stat
which at that date was $750,000,000,
t only $150,000 more.

What building and loan as8ociati<
have accomplished for Charlotte a
in some of its lesser details be redi
ble to mere figures, but in the lar
reckoning of its bearing upon tbe li
of a people, individually and collect!
ly, tbe account can only be told in
clearing house of results, and all
me, ladies and gentlemen, before
tering upon tbe formidablearray of
ures in shbwing tbe results, say t
Charlotte and
building and loan association c
cers claim no concha
"alchemistic secret," nor do tl
wild the magician's wand in the a
ievements 1 shall state, butl desin
accentuate the fact that every build
and loan association in this or any
her town or city can accomplish
same results by simply employng
same methods, namely; tbe "3 P
Push, Pluck and Perseverance," an
liberal use of printer's ink.
We have in Charlotte subscril
shares in force tn date 26,000, of
par value of $100 per share, mak
$2,600,000. Based on Charlotte's p
ularion of 25,000, we have the gr
tying and amazing significant fact
$100 subscribed for every inbabita
as against $1.80 by tbe State at lar
1-?. u? ?:,i
ftUU V^uai lutie una paiu iu uu ouoici
per cent of the amount paid iu by
whole State.
There is paid in on said subscript
list the enormous sum of $100,000,(
which makes It $40 for every inbi
lant, white and black, old i
young.
If, 1? owever, we include Chariot
te of

C., [suburbs, and basing it on 35,000 inive
habitants, we have paid in on shares
lay approximately $28 50, and shares sub
pas subscribed $75.50 per capita.
of There has been isuued in this city
rhe siuce the organization of the three local
associations no lees than 65 000
share?, equal in paid-up value to $6,6oui

q? We have made 3,600 loans for the
purchase or betterment and the buildan
iug of new homes, and there are held
0d today 1.050 mortgage?, and the averlU!
age loans have been $812. The associate.
tions of Charlotte have handled the astounding
sum of $6,500,000, and that,
still more astounding fact, without the
,u. loss of a cent.
be Charlotte now subscribes annually
jje to new shares $300,000: in other
QCj words, the people of Charlotte have
Qg seen the benefits resulting from these
institutions, and so inoculated have
[jj. they become in the art of Baving that
,a8 through the building and loan associate
tion alone, not counting savings bj\nks,
he thev save up every year for six years
)m four months to come, the sum of $500,
ins 000.
To show the benefits of the building
3a. and loan, suppose we take man who
e8 wants to invest money. He takes one
or share:
Dues at 25c per week per share 25
,h. weeks $ 13 00
8 6 years at $53.00 per Bhare . . . 78.00
to.' For which the stockholders receive per
' share 10000
la. Profits $ 22 00
I The average time which the share5
ho der was out of his money is three
1 years. What interest is $22.00 on
8 $78.00 for three years? Answer, 9 1-2
)nB per cent, and as association pays the
iay tax, which on solvent credits in this
!ci- State, for State, couuty and city is say,
Ber 2 per cent, hence.ll 1-3 per cent.
ve? A busin- ss man borrws from the
*e building and loan $3,000. He will
the have to pay per week:
ow Dues $ 7.50
eu- luterest 4.60
Bg
hat Total $12,10
its
jffl. it requires 312 payments to mature a
led series, hence 312 times $12 10 gives $3,
jey 775.00. A house of that character
cb- would rent per month in this commneto
nity for, say, $18.00 per month, per
ine year$21f).0O, Iu six years this would
ot. amount to $1,296.00, making a $3,000
tke house stand him $2,479.
the Now the same party borrows from
>s an outsider $3,000. He will pay the
same amount of interest, $1,440, a total
of $4,444. Deduct rent as above and
^ we have $1,296, as against the building
tbe and loan $3,144. Deduct $2,476, and
insr we ^ave *u ^vor of the building and
0Jf loan association $6oo.
atj. Thus far,; ladies and gentlemen, I
of have given you cold statistical figures,
they are but as tbe egg shell, insidf
of which is the lifeciviuar and life-su-)
taiuing subst uce; or as the outer crusttjje
of tbe earth, (containing within prioeess
treasures;because underlying the fig
ion t res quoted is the influence they have
)0O . tven to man as a social being in the
ibi- evelopment of community spirit, in
in(l he new direction they have given tc
he aspiration of the masses, in the
tei8 ennobling, elevating, self-respecting
contented, patriotic, and happy citzen
ship, "in the making of happy horn
owners."
Theiraimisto enable men of mod

Whereas, thestockbolderon the other
hapd, goes with resolute step and
proud mien to the secretary's office
and there with bauds blackened with
soot [a far more honorable covering
tbau the gloved baud of the spend
thrift] and his tin bucket on his arm
"A shield entitled to far more respeci
than the coat of arms of idle nobility,"
see him deposit his honestly earned
money on the desk, its metallic rin$
making sweet music to his ears, foi
he knows it has nailed another part
on what will soon be his home. Enferine
where bis wife and little onee
meet him, and they like the othei
family, may have bad to deprive
themselves of some pleasures and luxuries,
but he knows that the privations
in their case are but temporary; and
then see him seated in a corner at his
fireside, bis wife by bis side and hie
little ones round about his knee, aud
see with what happy anticipation
they count how near their home ie
paid for, and which will soon be theii
own. Is there a word In the English
language so portentuous, that has so

it be that of mother] than the * words
of "Home, Sweet Home?" Now, my
fellow citizens, once again follow me
to the secretary's office at the end ol
the matured series and see the stockbolder
[as I have repeatedly seen him]
in the knowledge that his home is all
paid for and is all his own, and see
him with proud and happy mien carrying
the canceled mortgage tohis wife
with the, to (hem, ever memorbale
sentence; "This is now our own
home," and your hearts would swell
in unison as mine does swell with
pleasure at the sight. But this is not
all the good accomplished by these
institutions.

The tire or pairinimuj vums c?c?
brightly in the breast of the man with
a home, and be iB ever ready to go
forth in the defence of hiB home and
bis land. As the motto of the. National
League of Building and Loan Associations
so aptly has it: "In the
American home lies the safeguard of
American liberty."
Home life is 'lie center of all life,
and we Mball be strong within and
without if we have bappy homes. We
shall have peace among ourselves and
with the nations if we have happy
homes. The purpose of every struggle
for liberty an*l constitutional government
is found in the aim to finallv
e?tablish bappy homes. The
Magna Charts, the Bill of Rights, the
Declaration of Independence, all have
their value in so far as they secure
for us happy homes.
The home conserve* the life of organized
civil society and if there be
found in this great land whether be
be a native or foreign born, a man
'With soul so dead,
Who never to himself his said;
I am proud of my beloved land,"
then such a one never held shares in
building and loan associations. And
there will be ample recompence to
those officers who conduct in the spirit
of enlightened and practical honesty
the affairs of this beneficent enterprise
without money and without
price in the swelling thought that
the children of these home-owners?
aye and their children's children shall
gather under the roof tree and tell
how the building and loan association
made it possible for their father to
establish a home, around which cluster
sentiments forever hallowed and
sacred*
Aye, and when the blood crimsoned
names of Alexander and Caesar, the
glory-encircled names of kings and
queens, statesmen, orators and poets
have faded to a blur, that of John
Howard Payne will shine in undying
splendor in the temple of fame.
Hearts of millions in every clime and
in every age thrill with delioious love
at the sentiments and the melody of
his supreme triumph of the world of
song: "Home, Sweet Home."
And if at some grand review of the
world of business activity and beneficence
those organizations should unfold
their bauners and splendid mottoes
to the gazing thousands, what
one would be or what one could be
more beautiful: what one conld touch
the hfiarf. mo ritiir-klv as the banner ol
our building and loan association, emblazoned
with these magic words,"
"Mid pleasures and palaces, though
we may soam,
Be it ever so bumble, there's nt
place like home."
