status of Odd Fellowship. Never did a moral
institution have more ignoble birth. Born in
the Dackroom of a third rate hotel. How great
the contrast between the gathering of those five
obscure Englishmen on the Goth of April 1919,
and the meeting of the half million brethren
to-day who assemble weekly in the 1000 lodge
rooms made gorgeous by all the paraphernalia
which wealth can procure! The founders
builded better than they knew. Born in the
bar room of the Seven Stars tavern and reared
in an atmosphere impregnated with the fumes
of liquor and tobacco, this society, whose birth
took place within the memory of men now liv-
ing. has been able to break asunder the shackles
of vice which bound it., and stand forth in all
its beauty, redeemed and glorifed. Among its
followers may now be found men of the highest
possible standing. In 1877 the order had the
satisfaction of witnessing Past Grand from
the state of Ohio, inaugurated President of the
United States-Rutherford B. Hayes. The
church, the earliest foe of our society, is now
our ally, and its clergymen are among our
most earnest advocates.
BY way of contrast let me compare a lodge of
the first decade, with one of the present day. In
the former time lodges invariably met at public
houses, the landlord becoming by right what
was termed the Host of the Lodge, giving the
rent free for the privilege of furnishing the
liquors drank. In one corner of the lodge
room WIS regularly furnished circular bar
behind which stood the Host. After the cere-
mony Of opening, the first business was for the
Noble Grand to direct the members to make
