man once becomes an ODD Fell0W by
Joining No. Is he is held in the arms
of brGtherlv love and not allowed to
backslide or become delinquent in pay
nent Of dues. If he gets behind in his
monthly dues he is seen and talked
to by some officer of the lodge and
shown the folly of going backward; he
is assisted if need be and held up by
warm hands and hearts and the conse-
quence is suspensions are few and far
! between. Help one another, is prac-
ticed in its perfection in this lodge for
the brothers know that in helping each
| other they not only help themselves,
but have. a clearer conscience in con-
sequence. Bread cast upon the water
Will surely be found again-perhaps at
a time of the severest need. The meet
ings are worthy of attendance each
week.
Utah lodge No met Thursday night
The officers were there and attended to
their duties with energy. The mem
| bers of No. 1 are governed by good
sense, good temper and good will; good
sense. which prompts them to make
the most of their means; good temper
to enable them to associate With others,
and good will to incline them to sarye
others as they would be served in re-
turn. Brother Baumgarten rises to re-
mark, that the members are too negIi-
and that is, too careless and indifferent
in attending to funerals of Odd Fellows.
1t is the last opportunity we have of
showing respect to a brother and we
should neglect other matters cf less
Importance to be found at the grave of
a deceased brother.
Jordan No. on Thursday transacted
such business as came before the lodge
and though the turmoil was moderate
the session was Of interest to all The
man of truth and honesty is the best
and strongest man and the truest citi-
zen. The light of his good makes it
as a spring or clear, cold water, re-
freshing all who come in contact.
Salt Lake lodge No. 2 assembled to-
gether as q band of brothers on Friday
night Their hearts were heavy, as
one of their faithful members had just
passed away, we refer to Brother W. G.
Clark, who has been a sufferer for over
two years He was carefully and loy-
ingly looked after by his lodge dur
ing this entire time and everything
done for his comfort which could be
done for suffering and distressed
brother.
Fidelity No. 1T}met Friday as usual
and held an Interesting session. The
brothers believe that their noble grand
as presiding officer, is entitled to much
consideration; they know he is respon-
slble for the work being properly done,
| that nothing unlawful is practiced, and
that each brother shall be impartially
and fairly treated. He is a sort of
father in Israel for the time being, the
chief of the tribe, whose hand, while
moved in accordance with law, is tenn
pered in his activity by a. sense of a
profound justice and brotherly love.
