sired. New members are continually

In discussing the advantages of Re

andout Of II. a Rebekah asked this
question: What can / do?" Well. in
! the first place, you can stop critieising
and finding fault with those who are
doing their best to make the order
grow You can attend lodge meetings
and assist in carrying on the business.
/ MayhaD there are sick ones to visit
! you can do that; there are official po-
sitfons to fill-you can accept an office
when called upon, instead of declining;
/ there are new members TO secure-you
! can do your best in that direction
! there IS committee work-you can
serve. Remember that there is no
! better way TO increase the power and
influence of the lodge than by cheer
fully performing the work assigned to
You, instead of making excuses to
avoid serving.
Outside of the lodge room. there is
much Won can do for the good of the
order. You can talk to your neighbors
| and associates about the RebezahS and
the great work they are doing. You
can tell what nice Socials the lodge
has, the way members are attended and
cared for in sickness, the sympathy
and help given to them in distress ane!
want, the faithful friendships that are
formed. where envy and malice are I'M
known. In fact, there are hundreds of
things YOU can do and say, if your
heart is in your work and YOU follow
the divine injunction to do as you would
be done by, or love your neighbor as
yourself"

Odd Fellowship throughout the country

1t was a good assembly of knights
that met on Friday evening at the con-
vention of Zion lodge No. II, Knights of
Pythias. The rank of esquire was con-
ferred on Page r. G. Smith, and was
done in a creditable manner, which, no
doubt. left a good impression on the
candidate, and one which ne will not be
apt 20 forget.
Next Friday the knights rank will
be conferred on two candidates, and
Calanthe lodge No 5 has been invited
to be present with their team and con-
fer the degree on one, and Zion lodge
on the other. A large number is ex-
pected TO be there.

Eagle Gate lodge No. 10, A. o. Z. W.,
held a very interesting and enjoyable
meeting with a still larger attendance
than usual last Wednesday evening.
The j. w and ". degrees were con-
ferred upon candidate and ballot
was taken upon the application of an
other, which proved favorable, and the
applicant was declared duly elected.
The J. w. degree will be given next
Wednesday night.
Under good of the order" Brother
C. Hunt, grand guide of this jurisdic-
ton. spoke upon the harmony and
brotherly feeling which prevailed in
the lodge, and encouraged the brothers
to keep on with the good work.
The representatives to the grand
lodge were duly INSTRUCTED to use their
influence to have the officers of guide,
inside Waterman and outside watch
man elected instead of appointed, as at
present.
Financier S. w. Darke remarked that
it would probably be better that the
delegates go uninstructed in regard to
the other grave questions which may
come up before the grand lodge. such
as suicides and the vexed but all i'm
portant graded assessment plan. He
said in substance that however much
we might dislike the plan, it was inev-
liable that il would be adopted sooner
of later. 1t might not be for year or
two, but we would have TO come to it.
This statement, coming, as it did, from
one who it was thought was favorable
to the local assessment proposition, fell
with a dull, sickening thud'' upon the
ears of the brothers present. Brother
Darl1e, however. qualified his remarks
somewhat b. adding that the graded
assessment plan might be changed a
little, but as a whole all Jurisdictions
would have to subscribe to it.
