Syllabus
<p>1. The conferring of jurisdiction in equity, by agreement of the parties, is not favored; and when the case is absolutely clear upon this point, the Supreme Court will always feel itself at liberty to decline to recognize such an agreement.</p> <p>(a) The constitution and by-laws of a beneficial association authorized a member to change the beneficiary in his certificate only by the surrender thereof, the issuance to him of a new certificate, and an entry thereof on the records:</p> <p>2. A mere indorsement by the member, on the benefit certificate, of an order to pay the amount to a person other than the beneficiary named therein, will not entitle the payee to receive the amount from the association.</p>
