Judge. Odd Fellowship would be

Judge. Odd Fellowship Rswould be
your earthly friend in earthly trouble
She would feed you when you we're
hungry, watch beside you when you
are sick, sympathise in your bereaye-
ments, bury you when you are dead,
and care for your widow and edu-
cate your orphan children; but
from those questions that concern
the holy relation between yourself
and God, from those questions that
concern the Infinite and Eternal,
she turns aside and leaves them
where they properly belong in the
consecrated temple ofyour own soul.
Objection second -"Some make
it their religion. and trust for saliva
ton to its forms and ceremonies"
Does not this sabre cut too far ?
1t cuts as deeply into nearly every
other human society as into Odd
Fellowship. There are those who
trust to their membership in a chris
| tiau association for their souls sal.
vation. Some trust in a Good
Templar's lodge. But more than
this-the blow cuts into the church
itself, for are there not many who
misunderstood the character, urdin-
apces and forms, and attribute yir-
tue to the letter that is claimed only
to belong to the spirit. The fault
is not in Odd Fellowship, nor in
Christian Associations, nor Temp
lars, nor Church, but in the blind
ness that makes men stumble. No
sincere christian will neglect his re-
ligion for his business or his shop,
and no christian worthy ofthe name
will neglect his prayer-meeting for
his lodge. @a.f
Objection third-"You Odd Eel
lows, in taking an obligation, prom
Use to perform duties that are yet
unknown--yoa promise to comply
with unknown requirements"
AnswerLWho does not? Are
not such promises, covering un-
known requirements, given in enter
ing on many OF the relations Of life,
Acknowledged to be legitimate :?
The soldier enters the army. On
entering he takes an oath Of obedi-
ence to his officers and of allegiance
to his country. That promise in-
cludes long marches, hunger and
hardship, and 'trsmps through
swamps, and over mountains, and
down through rocky chasms, and a
hundred other yicissitudes and con-
tingencies Of war, of the details Of
which he does not and can not know
anything until the moment they are
met and many q time he is called
OH to perform duties Of which he
never dreamed.
The blushing bride and. proud
bridegroom at the hymenial altar
stand and make their soleun PROM
ise to be firm and faithful and kind,
through evil and good report, in
sickness and health, for better for
worse till separated by death, Now,
there is promise that includes a
thousand duties they know nothing
Of. A great many Of the coming
specifications are unthought Of at
the time. They know not low that
promise will be tried when they
come to tack carpet, or clean house.

ODD FELLOWsHIP.

q
An GRAFTON DEIIyERED BY REV. b. X.
NEsBTTs Ar ALBANfs OREGON. APRIL
q. 1874, ON THE OCCASION OF THE
CELEBRATION OF THE FrF.rf-FTFTH
ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLOWSHIP
IN THE UNITED STATES.
The GcelebratiOn of great ami
yersaries is an old and hoiored
custom. = Great men and little chill
dren celebrate their birthdays.
Possibly it is because being born is
one Of the most important events in
aperson's life. G
The English were accustomed to
celebrate the 18th Of June, because
on that day, in the year 1915, they
forced. King John tosign the Great
Charter on the plains ofRunimede.
~ THE PURITANs
And their defendants have long
celebrated the landing Of the May
Flower. We, too, have our "30th
OF May on which we 60 forth to
strew flowers on the graves of our
departed ones.
Then there is our 4h Of Ily.
On that day we are wont to meet
aud congratulate ourselves and
commiserate the rest Of mankind.
We declare that our ancestors were
much better than ourselves, and
that we, in turn, are infinitely su-
perior to them. We then picture
the effect Of all this on future gen.
erations. We think it d pity our
ancestors could not have seen what
big Misgs they we're doing. We
bewail our mis&rtune. We, feel
that We are entirely too recent.
We are sorry we could not have.
done up our living ip the days of
those good old men like Benedict
Arnold and Aaron Burr. Halcyon
days, those, when there was no.
C,rtsade to disturb the "public
pesOe," except just q little small
fly affair called the Pennsylvania
Whisky Insurrection. n g
Halcyon days when CORVALLIS
retired from public service snd
Washlngton'si body servants had
not even begun to die, and there
was no money to initiate, and no
treasury, and nothing III It, and no.
body was irregular. b9a
Halcyon-but I digress: This is
not the 4th Of July | was speak
ing of Anniversaries.
WHY, we ever celebrate our we'd
ding days, and we have our ''iron,"

we enjoy them and, our friends
congratulate us, and we thank them

The minutia of its requirements lie
veiled in the future from present
sight, and more impenatrably hid
den than are the most secret cham
bers Of Odd Fellowship from the
young initiate. @ l 4.
Thus the argument that would
put aside our order 6ecastse Of its
obligation, would destroy some OF
the best relations of life. After all
what can vitiste an obligation that
declares nothing shall be required
that conflicts with your duty to
yonrself, your family, yonr country
or your God. .
\ Objection fourth--secrecy-"lf
It be good why is it secret ?" "Do
not put your candle under a bushel
but on a candleStick."
This is a good and true maxim.
Shed a good influence around you.
What does Odd Fellowship hide
which, if known, would do good !
But it is urged that the idea OF
secrecy vitiates all order that else
would be good. Where is the es-
sential harm in secrecy? Two
men have business together which
they agree shall be kept secret. Is
that sinful? No. \ third is let
in-does that make the secrecy bad?
No. Then another is admitted to
the firm, and another; if not wrong
for one man to know what he does
not tell, why is it wrong for Two;
if not for two, why for three ; >if not
for three, why tor four? VIII some
one tell us the exact number when
the secrecy becomes sinful and
wrong?
Yes, but why don't you reveal
all to the public? | ask why do
you not admit every stranger to
your private family councils F? Be-
cause you do not allow listening
ears at your window, or admitevery
stranger to press into your private
chamber; or because you do not
proclaim upon the street your bill
Of fare, or tell the mysteries OF the
kitchen to every calling friend, are
you therefore to be set down as one
who is concocting schemes Of danger
or preparing schemes internal to
fling at the heads of innocence
find nothing in the Order, then,
unworthy, neither in her peculiar
mission, her obligation or her secre-
cy, and | bid her go forward and
do good, while the "shafts of her
fees fall harmless from the polished
amor Of her spotless purity
In this land Of ours, SO prolific OF
good things, Odd Fellowship has
extended into nearly every hamlet
and village from the white hills Of
Maine to the sunny waters Of the
Gulf; from the rocky coast Of New
England to the green slope Of the
Pacific, and from the SLOPPY lakes OF
Minnesota to the everglades Of
Florida. In the princely palaces Of
crowded cities and in the modest
village hall she is found, mingling
her voice of sympathy, answering
the sigh of sorrow, wiping the or
phan's tear, chatting the tevered
temple, and preaching by the uni
versal language Of deeds, the gospel
ofpeace on earth and good will to
men.
In Canada and British America
