ing. much attention throughout the
country on account of the energetic
work performed by the sisters. They
are more enthusiastic than the broth
ers and take such a lively interest in
their branch Of the order that it is
growing very rapidly everywhere. We
cannot do better than to quote the fol-
lowing from the pen of Sister Hattie
Borland, president of South Dakota
Rebekah assembly: We are here on
mission of humanity, not out of
mere idle curiosity, but in order that
We may each assist in devising the
best means of aleviating human dis
treSS. We are RebekahS. The noble
order of which we are branch is one
whose deeds of benevolence and char
lty, though not blaZoned upon the
snowy monuments of the world nor
sounded on the streets by the clamor
OF trumpets, are yet known and read
Of by all men. They are known by
the fruits they have borne in the great
human garden, wherever the sunbeams
of Odd Fellowship have fallen; they
are read in the smile of chastened
hope, stealing through the sadness Of
the widows lonely lot and the light
beaming from the tear-filled eyes of the
orphan.
while the outside world is surging
with earthquake shocks, of political
excitement and teeming with passion,
within the charmed circle embraced by
the triple links ali is peaceful, calm
and serene. Friendship stills the throes
OF excitement, love SmOOthS the torrent
Of passion, and truth calms the pillows
of tumult. Human sympathy is the
only thing that makes life endurable;
Danish love, and it becomes a wilder
ness, fit only for the heather
Our order is not alone an organiza-
ton to relieve necessities and alleviate
suffering, but its mission is to cement
humanity in the bonds of friendship,
love and truth.
