Odd Fellowship.

A dim, tho pleasant, memory comes to
me across many years, of the INTERVIEWING

lied the Rebekah degree Of odd-fellow-
ship.
Few of the Bible stories have deeper
meaning or are more touchingly beauti-
full than that of the fair young Jewess
.'who hasted to let down her pitcher
that the thirsty wayfarer might have
water to drink in his hour of need.
Herein lies part Of the strength of this
great order. Its badge, sign and pass
word may be forgotten, but its lessons OF
charity. of the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man, coming as they prin.
cipally do from the Bible and the classics
appeal by their mystic and poetic
beauty to the heart of man.
Practical lessons, once taught the
heart, fade not from the mind.
The watchwords of the order, "Friend.
ship Love and Truth" may well gather
within its circle the honorable, the brave
and the true, for we will always remem-
Der, "The bravest are the tenderest, the
loving are the daring"
The friendship and intimate associa-
ton of such an organization has its cheer.
ing and humanizing influence; it has its
ready help for the hour of need.
More than all this and above all this, it
has its lessons of liberation. We must
have charity for brothers human
weakness, we must tolerate a brothers
honest opinions. We may never know
how much intolerance has hindered all
our great reforms, but this we may
know-that narrowness and bigotry have
no place in odd-fellowship.
In its kindly ministration to the sick,
the suffering and sorrowful, it appeals to
much that is best in woman; because OF
this it should disarm US of weak, wo-
manish jealousy. It is unworthy an IN
telligent woman. to condemn unheard
any cause, nor would it be charitable,
after hearing the high requirements OF
this society, to say: "They do not live
up to their creed" How many of Us who
profess to follow our divine Master live
up to his spirit? Perhaps we might do
better in this, if husband, father and
brothers, were more generally and closely
associated in such an effort.
He who honestly tries to live up to the
high teachings of odd-fellowship will
never be tempted thereby from the wor
ship of God.
