enduring the following opportunities:
To visit the sick. relieve the distressed,
bury the dead and care for the orphan;
these are the watchwords of the Re
bekah order. The work is worthy the
grandest intellect and courts the
brightest and best. The ritual teaches
the work for humanity and combats
ignorance, vice and human suffering.
Heaven knows there is enough for all
to do for sin abounds on every hand
with its attendant misery, and it takes
true hearts and willing hands to carry
out all the beautiful teachings of
friendship, love and truth. The Re-
bekahs are Rebekahs because they feel
sure that organized effort is Invaluable
when individual valor would be worth
less. Because we know that when per
sons become Rebekahs they lose no
particle of their identity or influence,
but, on the other hand, add to the
strength influence and virtue of the
lodge of which they are members. In
this combination of talent and strength
with naught to say of wit, wisdom
and beauty, they ought to do much
toward living out the grand principles
Of Odd Fellowship, for these principles
may be called the strictest orthodox
doctrine, placing no motive before a
person for joining them but to assist in
InOlding character. All should be-
come pillars of strength to each other,
and the conduct of each should be
such that others might take pride in
emulating
AS band of brothers and sisters
they can aid one another by mutual
counsel and encouragement. and thus
give an impetus to the work, to which
they are pledged.
AS Rebekahs they can gather inspi-
ration from the thought that they
are soldiers in an army whose good
will is heard in IS states in our Union
with q membership of more than 200,-
BOO. An army whose messages are
the sweet and pure who minister to
the poor and sorrowing everywhere"
Let Friendship, Love and Truth alone
Hold human hearts in thrail-
That Heaven its work at length may own
And men be brothers all.
