sentiments Oh lIe many WIZ WSAS
present at ne institution Of Ester
lodge No. s on last Tuesday, that all
fears for the success of another body
of RebekahS in our midst may be
thrown to the breezes, for a happier
and more suspicious starting out IN
life Of a new lodge it would be hard
to conceive of. In connection with the
institutfng OF the lodge may be well
considered the advancing spirit of
those engaged in odd Fellowship. as
regards the throwing open of the por-
tails OF the Rebekah lodges to the
young women of America who are not
connected by relationship with mem
berS of the order and who may now
aspire to unite themselves with this
great body of wOmankind on conditions
exactly similar to those required Of the
young men While for financial sue
cess the stronger the lodge be, in that
sense the fewer lodges there are, the
better: yet for other reasons many
smaller bodies might be preferable,
especially when one and all are in
such a position that with but little
exertion each of them may double
their membership
It was no doubt with such senti-
ments as the above that the founders
Of Ester No S undertook its organiza-
elton and if so. it is most merttorious
many months have passed away.
