THE TWILIGHT HOUR.
Its Beneilcent Influence Upon the Minds
OF Men.
Memphis Avalanche.l


Rev. II. A. Jones, pastor of the
Court street Cumberland Presbyterian
church, preached brief but interest
ing sermon Sunday night from Luke
"a, 80: "But they constrained him,
saying abide with us; for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent"
In the opening portion of his dis
course the speaker developed line of
thought that was not only impressive
FROM the force and clearness of its eluci-
dation, but adorned with illustration
and metaphor at once beautiful and
appropriate. After explaining at
length the conversation between Jesus
and the two disciples, from which the
text was drawn, he suggested that Je-
sus had chosen that hour to meet them
on the road from Jerusalem to En-
maus, because he knew that their minds
would then be in state favorable for
the reception of the light he was to
give them. Evening is the time when
the soul is most easily aroused on the
subject of religion. In the earlier part
Of the day the secular cares of life oc-
cupy our attention and leave no time
or opportunity to look beyond them.
Men engaged in all the different call
ings IN life find full employment for
body and brain in the struggle for gain
or subsistence, while women are en-
crossed by the not less imperative du-
ties of the household; and the pressing
claims Of the present, thus crowd out
consideration of the future. But when
the days work is over, and the family
are once more united and at rest, the
mind is freed from the dead weight of
worldly thoughts and the practical
gives place to the speculative. Then
it is that heart and mind are alike open
to- the impressions of religion, and ret
rospection by revealing the deeds of
the day in their true light, opens the
door to repentance. The evening shad-
ows that herald the approach of night
hide from view objects that we're plain
Iy visible in the light of day, and
thought influenced and directed no
longer by the eye turns inward. Then
it is that reason shows how inconsistent
and unsatisfying are the things that
man plans, labors, and sins to accom-
plish; how success when at last attain
ed is always dearly bought; of how lit.
tie Importance is worldly triumph or
failure compared with the awful prob
lem of happiness or endless woe in the
life 2 EvansvIlle,, inunnu, 'lben that

The Origin and Early History Of this
Organization.

'Then let us throw all care aside,
Let's merry be and mellow,
May Friendship, Love and Truth abide
With every true Odd-fellow.
The origin of Odd Fellowship is
wrapped in some obscurity. There are
those who claim that the Loyal Ancient
Independent Order was founded at
Rome during the reign fifty.fve of that
royal fiddler and matricide, the En-
perOr Nero, perhaps the only good thing
done during his wicked reign. Bolton,
a marble mason, however, came from
London to Manchester III 1909 and
established an Odd-Fellow's Club in
imitation of one with which he had been
connected in the great metropolis. The
association was a success, and in 1912
became the parent of the Manchester
Society of Odd Fellows, which in 1864,
numbered 25S, ,556 members. The OBJ
ject of the organization was first con-
vivial, then merged into benevolent.
Some wag once described an Odd Eel,
low as like "a fox for cunning, a dove
for tameness, a lamb for innocence, a
lion for boldness, a bee for industry and
a sheep for usefulness" To-day, how
ever, the Order may be described to
the general reader as one which aims
at benevolence, charity and care for the
widow and orphan, or those members
in sickness or afiiiction. In no sense
is it an Insurance Company. No sta.
ted or special amount is guaranteed the
heirs of the deceased member, yet the
rites OF christian burial, care for the
orphan and widow are rigidly looked
after.
Baltimore, the great sea port of the
State of Maryland, justly claims the
honor of being the birthplace of Amer
lean Odd Fellowship. Just after the
close of the war of 1912, when Balti-
more had population of sixty thous-
and, in the year 1918, Thomas Wild
ley and John Welsh, both Englshmen,
being fellow-countrymen, conceived the
idea of starting the organization. Wild
ley had been initiated in 1904 into a
London Society, and had filed the
I'chair Of Noble Grand as many as three
times Welch had also been member
of a London Lodge, and had passed
the chairs before emigrating to Ameri-
ca. The two friends sadly regretted
that emigration, while it had bettered
their condition, had deprived them Of
their loved brotherhood. They de-
termined to form a lodge, and tried in
a quiet way by asking their associates
and friends to discover, if possible,
brothers. Unsuccessfully, February
18th, 1919, the Baltimore American
contained their advertisement: "Notice

without ever having little friendly

was an individual who once belonged
to the command known as the "Louisi-
ana Tigers" His lawless conduct made
him terror to the country where he
operated. DR.. Saddler by some means
became an object of the Tigers hatred,
and one day meeting the Doctor, with
out any known provocation, he shot
and killed him. Mary's only brother
was away in the Confederate army, her
father was an aged and feeble man and
could not avenge the wrong that had
been done in the death of her devoted
lover. She resolved that the murderer
Of DR.. Saddler should die.
Not many months elapsed when one
day she was informed that the desper-
ate Tiger was then att neighbor's house.
Putting on her sun-bonnet and taking a
navy pistol, with the use of which she
had become familiar, preparatory to the
hostile meeting, she repaired to the
place. When she arrived the Tiger
had left the house and was in the yard
with his pistols buckled around him.
She accosted him, told him that he was
the murderer of DR.. Saddler and that
she had come to kill him. Before the

MeKenzie's Remarks ON q Bill 10 Ex.

Tax ON Sales.

Mr. Mckenzie, of Kentucky, late this
evening offered to amend the Carlisle,
revenue bill by providing that producers
of leaf tobacco might sell 81 900 worth
of the product of their own lands with
out the payment of tax. This was
measure he said for the relief of the
farmer, who rarely gets the benefit of
any legislation. Growing eloquent as
he proceeded he turned upon the Ways
and Means CpmmIttee and called it a
splendid maIisoleum, and the House
calender lie designated as ''the potter's
field of legislation; no measure could
possibly be got out of one or off the
other, unless it was for the benefit of
the rich. There was tax upon every
thing entering into the domestic econo-
my of the poor man and an exemption
Oh seven-tenths of the wealth of the
country, the bonded interest bearing in
terest and the property interest of the
country goes scot-free under the tariff
laws, while the farmer is taxed upon
every tool he uses, ON the roof that
covers him and on the cloth that hides
his nakedness. Our tariff system is but
a synonym for spOliation and robbery"
