with feeling aud pathos OF the holy
origin OF the modern order of Odd
Fellows, founded by Il few kind
in Baltimore, in 1919, having
4or its one object the elevation of
the human ace by the practice OF
love, friendship, bcuevOIencc aud
charity. Referring to its rapid
growth aud work, he touchingly nj.
lude1 to it's minIStratiOns at Ciucin
natl, at Memphis, Shreveport ana
elsewhere, among the sufferers from
war, aud the sick, poor and INDECENT
and the widows aud orphans in
peace. He said the order had n
creed or religious doctrine except
the belief in God, whose existence
he avowed with emphasis. In con.
clusion, he complimented tue ladies',
and assured mothers that theil sous
were as safe in an Odd Fellow
Lodge and would there be Tree from
temptation "tO SreaF, TO drink, TO
lie or to steal.p The address was
concluded in the midst of applause
that was genuine, and was received
with much appreciation.
The procession then repaired to
the Lodge Rooms on Krebs avenue
to transact other business. At al
pm. the officers aud members OF
the Lodge escorted their visiting
brethren TO the boarding house OF
Mrs. f. Lindingcr where a sumptu-
GUS supper was served in Odd Eel
lowship style, MS brothers gathered
together in unity.
Then followed the grand ball at
NUy's Hall, where music and dane
ing, aud all the intoxicating pleas
of the ball room continued nm
til the night was more than halt
spent. So ended the occasion and
Scranton Lodge No. 40 will go on
with it's deeds of love, benevClence
and charity, teaching aud practlc-
ing temperance, morality and
brOtherly love. Amen. God speed
the gOOd work.
