OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


Odd Fellowship Yes, it's lodg,
night We meet and greet in fraterna
welcome for the time dial has agar
Drought reunion With hand extended
we wish our brother the joys of health
We speak the words of friendship as il
our life for his We're the pledge of fell
lowship, and yet is our act ALWAYS
born in sympathy? Is it not some
times the efforts of exDedieney so com
mon to our nature2 Why should not ouI
| greetings always bear the true stamp
of friendship? Why should not our
welcome be so true that every word
we utter. yes. every look would carry
the conviction that our handshake was
real-that our HDS speak naught but
truth. Just think over this next lodge
night, and when you meet your brother
be brother, not only in name, but in
heart Be frank, and if your heart is
burdened with an imaginary wrong,
act as you are taught at the altar, and
Your heart win be lighter, your brother
happier. You will then have made
friends with your conscience in carrying
out the great maxim of forgive and
forget.
City Iodges-Mystic lodge No. % on
Monday last transacted the legitimate
business of the meeting, and then pro-
ceeded TO make their final arrange
ments for tonight's anniversary cele-
bration. Abundance will be by ticket,
as previously announced, and the de-
mand for these tickets has been so
large that the committee have had to
refuse them to many who applied, on
account of size of hall, which will not
accommodate more than 900.
A rare treat is in store for those who
are so fortunate as to possess the nee
essary pasteboard. Every attention will
be shown to guests as they arrive,
special committee having been ap
pointed for that purpose.
The programme of the evening is of
a very high order, and will meet with
the approval of all. The general COM
mittee desire to state that all should
be on hand promptly, so that nothing
shall mar the general harmony of the
evening, as those entering late are sure
to cause more or less confusion and
annoy those who wish to hear what is
being said. The special features of the
programme viii consist of addresses,
recitations, solos, orchestra music, etc.
RidgeIy lodge No. on Wednesday
held an interesting session, with many
present. The special feature of the
evening was the resignation of the
noble grand and the election and in
stallation of Brother Martin Bernhisel,
who, though entitled to the position,
was compelled TO go to New Mexico
for three months for his health. He is
now home again, completely recovered,
and occupying the presiding officers
chair of No. g. The members are ever
ready to show the brotherly feeling
which should exist among all Odd Fell
lows, and to bind closer the tie that
holds them together in the love of fra
ternity; thev believe in doing some
thing, however little, for the good of
their fellowman. AS one brother re-
marks: 1.-The opportunities are abund-
ant, the time is sufficiently long, and
the need is very great; we only pass
this way once, and eternity will offer !
no opportunities whatever for a help |
full word or warning voice"
If even one thorn is plucked from the |
path OF the unshod feet, or the decep
tive covering torn from pitfall in the |
way of the guileless and unwary, a |
good work has been done, and much |
ess sorrow and distress will the world /
see.
Enterprise lodge No. Is met as usual /
IN the same night, with a pretty good
number of members present, in addi- |
ion to several visiting brethren. The

Jordan lodge No. had a good num-
er present at Thursday nights ses-
ion, which developed into a most in
eresting occasion. Many good things
we're said by members to enliven the
roceedings, and Brother Higson let

ncouraging, so seldom are some of the
