It has been we'll said that "in every
nation an Odd Fellow may find a friend.
and in every climats a brother" Odd
Fellows are scattered everywhere on the
face of the globe; they are ubiquitory,
and the shadow of the Odd Fellow Is
seen wherever the sun Shines There Is
no speech nor language where his voice
is not heard I" 'His linz is gone out
through all The earth and his words TO
the end of the world" We might add
TO his universally David's expression as
found I'm Psalms cxxxix, S-9; and he will
there be found to have made his dwelling
place he is everywhere.
