it's three pillars are faith, hope and
charity. With faith as our companion,
we steadfastly pursue our toilsome
tasks. confident that our labors will
be eventually rewarded. It is q shield
for the unprotected, strength to the
feeble, and JOY to the careworn and
needy Hope is the handmade of faith;
ii cheers the sinking soul in its every
hour of deep distress; it borders every
cloud with a silver lining, and at last
conducts with serenity to the portals OF
death. It has throne in every
bosom and shrine in every heart.
Charity is the last, and yet the great
est of all. 1t is the queen-the bright
est and the best of the virtues. Swayed
by it's benign influences we can LEAD
the erring to repent, soften every Cd
durate heart and reclaim to the path of
rectitude every vicious mind.
With pillows such as these how
could an order he otherwise than one
of the greatest and grandest creations
of man? Nothing too eulogistic OF its
attachments can be said. The methods
of Odd Fellowship, its growth, us in
SEPARATIONS, are of the century in which
it was given birth.
