Oquirrh encampment No. l will have
an important session tomorrow even
ing Degree work will be on hand,
and changing of bylaws to come up
for action Patriarchs will please bear
this in mind and be on duty The en-
campment is bond of Odd Fellowship
which all should join. No subordinate
member can thoroughly appreciate
the beauties of fraternity unless he
learns the lesson of liberation and
charity as taught in the patriarchal
branch. Brothers, awake to your
privileges and seize the opportunity to
become familiar with ali the lessons
of Odd Fellowship wherever taught;
utilize every opportunity which is pre-
Sented to bring the beauties of the
patriarchal order to the attention OF
lodge members. Remember that our
subordinate lodges never grew to any
extent until the thoughtful public
were taught its work and worth. Odd
Fellows constitute the public from
which we seek recruits, and we are
justified in resorting to every legiti-
mate means to gain their favor and
support as a part of the order; the
encampment is fitting topic when the
good of the order is reached and a pa
triarch is called uoon. See that patri-
archal Odd Fellowship secures a place
upon the programme when public
meetings are held, and let it be occa-
sionally discussed in the orders fra
ternal journals. Open occasionally the
patriarchal tent to members of the
secret degree, and show them that hos
pitality which our traditions tell US
was rewarded by the ancient patri-
archs as a solemn duty can be prac-
ticed by their descendants as royalty,
though perhaps with less solemnity.
In this way their knowledge of our
work can be enlarged, and our en-
campment Will profit thereby.
This order is rapidly increasing its
membership in Utah. Sir Knight B.
Wilkins of Coalville has engaged with
the order as a deputy and will event
ually be granted commission, and, if
all is well, will have charge of Utah,
or portion at least of the state, as
state deputy Under his charge, a
very encouraging tent was put in at
Springville on the evening of the 18th
inst. The order is to be congratulated
upon the high character of the men
who have become members at Spring
vile, and the town. in having secured
a local organiza ton of the Maccabees.

One application for membership in
this young tent was filed with the
record keeper on the evening of the
last review, and the prospect is bright
for large membership in a short
time. The aggregate life benefits ap-
piled for by the charter members
amount to s91, O00
1t is to be hoped that the tent at
Coalville will soon have a hall within
