This is a good time for the patriarchs
to catch on to the signs of coming
prosperity and go among the subordi-
nate members and solicit them to join
the encampment branch of Odd Fellow
ship. Those who enjoy the privileges
of this branch of the order know it's
value as we'll as the beauties of it's rit-
that to be an Odd Fellow indeed and in
truth the brother must tread the
weary ard rugged road to Horeb,
and from it's handicapped summit OBJ
tain a view of the beautiful hills and
wales Of the promised land" Then
why not set about the work of inviting
the brethren of the subordinateS to
join il the march of the shepherds to
the tents of the faithful? Ii viii be
for their good to have them partake of
the Inequalities of the patriarchal
tent and enjoy the refreshing libations
and sustaining food of the fatted calf
and u2leavened loaf. Let the work of
recruiting the ranks of the marching
shepherds be begun at once, and make
the folds of the tents to bulge outward
with the crowds seeking to learn the
beauties of patriarchal Odd Fellowship.
To work, brethren. and make the hills
and valleys echo with the music OF the
advancing hosts seeking rest in the
tents of the patriarch of patriarchs.

Initiatory degree work. 1t is impos-
sible to conceive of anything more ele-
waiting and ennobling, more impressive
or more touching than the beautiful,
soul-stirring scenes, ceremonies and
lectures of the initiatory degree of Odd
Fellowship. The mortal who can pass
the threshold and arrive at the stage
of brotherhood in this grand fraternity
unimpressed by his experiences has a
very elastic conscience and heart OF
adamant He IS indeed unworthy of
the honor he has received at the hands
of the greatest and grandest fraternal
Organization known to man. He who
will direct his life and conduct in the
path as mapped out by that sublime
charge Of the sitting past grand must
become an ideal Christian. citizen and
brother. for he cannot become true
Odd Fellow unless he is grateful to his
creator. faithful to his country and
fraternal to his fellow man.
Mystic lodge No. % has lost a faith
full member and expert drillmaster in
the departure, last Tuesday, of past
grand Fred A Rowe, for Los Angeles,
Cal, where he went to take a response
BILE position with the largest mercantile
house of southern California. He has
been so closely identified with No. %
since it's organization that it seems
hard to realize that he is no longer
with us. lie carries with him to the
coast the friendly good wishes of every
member of his lodge. His popularity
with the lodge members was phenom-
email: he never made any mistakes of
the head or heart; all who knew Fred
Rowe found him always the same true
courteous Odd Fellow. The financial
secretary, F.. A Turiby is at the hos
pital with typhoid fever. Brother
Besley, P. c., is still very ill.

brothers in their hall at Twelfth South
street, ard a solitary visitor from the
city. The evening was a profitable one

Kimose, was announced as being Serl-
ously i'll. The members one and all,
offered their time and services in his

ever they might be called upon TO do.
The secretary, Brother n. d. COOK, en-
tertained the lodge with a recital in

listening to in lodge room, and we
hope to hear him again.

The Rebekahs are working for a no
BILE cause and it is worthy of their best
efforts. When they go out to relieve
the distressed, to help bury the dead,
to educate the orphan, to lend help
ing hand to some unfortunate woman,
one who has lost a companion, they
know that they are carrying on the
noble works of their race, and their
reward is sure, they therefore have the
right to do their duty. To live up to the
teachings of our order. To attend
lodge on every meeting night and put
their shoulders to the wheel, and how
can they do their duty unless united
and working in harmony together. The
lodge room is where all should meet
for mutual council, for mutual strength,
for an exchange of pure thoughts and
motives to help carry on the great
work laid out for all. Let each one lend
a hand in the lodge room and it's work.
Ester lodge No. 8 had its usual in
teresting session last Tuesday evening.
