odd Fellowship.-If the brethren of
this great fraternity were to illustrate
to the world by preeept and example
the true meaning of odd Fellowship;
if brother we're to treat brother out
side of the lodge room as the laws Of
the order require; if brother were to
assist brother. as he has promised, in
the struggles incident TO human iitei
there were no need TO speak of lover
ing the initiation fee. Men would then
realize and appreciate the value Of Odd
Fellowship, which cannot be inquired IN
dollars and cents. They would recoS-
nize the Importance and the privilege
of being permitted 10 become one OF
this grand fraternity al any cost

! friendship, untainted by The petty 5eal-
ousies and selfish motives OF the World

/ in and out CT the lodge room, De gov
erned by love and every action bear
the stamp of truth, and men of truth
and honor viii flock to the standard
/ of odd Fellowship and uphold its prin-
( cipies.
