We give space to the following from
the Dominion Odd Fellow, which stands
high in the estimation of Canadian Odd
Fellows:
I'VE are not of those Odd Fellows
who, at every turn, try and see any
thing but right in decisions of the
grand sire or acts of the sovereign
grand lodge which do not exactly CO.
incide with our views; but at the same
time we cannot help but criticise de-
cisions or acts, no matter where thex-
cmanate, if there does not appear 10 us
TO be sound wisdom in them. We notice
that Grand Sire Carleton, brother we
hold in the highest esteem, has decided
that an ordinary receipt for dues given
by a lodge would be Illegal, now that
the visiting certificate has been
adopted We would like very much TO
be informed where our grand sire gets
his law. we understand that under the
civil laws, and surely the laws of the
sovereign grand lodge cannot entirely
supersede civil laws, any receipt,
whether written in pencil or with ink,
ON wood. stone or paper, so long as 1t
bears on it's face the bona fide signature
of the party authorized to receive the
money for which the recent is given,
is legal in all courts of law. If So-and
%;<-fo
ton to be corrected-the law of the
sovereign grand lodge. authorizing an
official receipt land charging therefor a
ridiculously extravagant price, and
making it the only legal receipt for
dues, is ultra wires, and not worth one
half the time, talk and heartburning
that the legislation referred to has
caused.
Local Lodges-Mystic Lodge No %
on Monday, gave up their hall for
anniversary celebration. For a few
weeks this lodge in conjunction with
Ester Rebekah Lodge No. propose
giving a social that, if we judge by the
preparatory work being done by the
committee. will prove the event" of
the spring season. No. y has earned
a name throughout this jurisdiction
that she may we'll be proud of; she
is energetic and progressive and is al
ways looking for something new in the
way of entertainment for her friends
and members.
Ridgely Lodge, No. and Enterprise
No. Is on Wednesday, as soon as they
had disposed of necessary routine
work, united for a mutual discussion
of lodge affairs, and general sizing
up of the work done in the recent ses-
sion of the grand lodge. Several speak
ers addressed the meeting and en-
lightened the brethren on legislation
enacted.
