The members of No. 9 never assume
an attitude of Indifference, but make
an effort to make the meetings inter-
esting, thus benefiting themselves and
others. They speak kindly to all who
enter the hall, and let everyone they
meet see by their actions that they
are willing to practice the teachings
of friendship. truth and love.
Enterprise lodge No. 10 met the same
evening, and after disposing of regu-
lar business proceeded to have a drill
of the degree staff with some of No.
9s members taking part. No. ISIS mem

They believe in sunshine and not
clouds, and realizing the shortness of

Utah lodge No. 1. on Thursday had
Soodly number of brothers out, who,
one and all, interested themselves in
the lodge business. They believe in
being angels of mercy in time of dis
tress. They keep Odd Fellows who
are struggling against adversely and
make them feel that they are among
friends indeed.
Jordan lodge No. on the same
night held forth in their regular meet
ing place and did their full share of
legitimate business. Good feeling pre-
vailed among those present and re-
marks were made by members that
left pleasing remembrance on the
minds of those present.
Salt Lake lodge No. 2 met Friday
night with many members present.
The lodge impresses upon its follow
ers the necessity and advisability of
always attending lodge, being benevo-
lent, dutiful and true for the right,
and causing sunshine and pleasure to
follow in their footsteps.
Oquirrh encampment No. 1 will hold
its first session on Tuesday night since
it's change of meeting time. Hereafter
it meets on the second and fourth
Tuesdays of each month, which will
insure larger attendance as many
of it's members being members of Es-
ter Rebekah lodge, which meets on
the first and third Tuesdays, failed TO
put in an appearance. Remember that
the encampment is a good place to
learn all about the golden rule, in
receiving the golden rule degree, and
that federation is one of its cardinal
precepts.
Supreme Representatives Thomas
and Butcher with Grand Secretary
Moore, made a visit to Mount Pleas
ant lodge No. 20 on last Wednesday.
Ester Rebekah lodge No. s. on last
Tuesday, held a most interesting SEES
sion. The sisters and brothers were
there in large numbers with quite
sprinkling of members of Naomi No.
l and Miriam No. 5, who find it i'm
possible to stay away from such not
able gatherings as Ester is sure at all
times to have. They know that bust
ness is transacted in a parliamentary
manner, the officers having studied
Cushing's manual to their advantage
and being at all times prepared to
sit upon" any irregular proceedings
or attempt to cause diSSenSion or de-

its second rendition of the revised
work, and although they have had but
a limited amount of drilling in the
work, it was very well done; if there
were errors they were not noticeable
except to those thoroughly familiar
with the work.
One thing that adds to the effective
completeness of the floor work is the
undivided attention the individual
members give to their several parts.
We cannot forbear to mention the B.
