How true is the saying that the first
impression is always the best in our
. meeting with people. The same may
also be said in regard to lodge meet
ings. A visiting brother in lodge can
/, be impressed at the start that the lodge
is progressive. one and it's officers
competent and energetic. There are
two vital points in this respect to
which it is well to call attention. First,
open lodge promptly at the specified
hour If a visiting brother observes
this he will be pleased, because he is
sure TO see and hear a great deal and
yet get home in good time II the
meeting is opened only few minutes
late it win close proporti0natelys late
The last, but by no means the least
important point is that of a presiding
onlcer impressing the necessity upon
| the members OF his staff to commit
that to memory that is expected of
them to do during the session of the
! lodge. Presiding officers are response
bic for these things to be carried out
properly. and they should see that
/ they are. 1t looks exceedingly bad TO
see the ritual pass from hand to hand
TO give the opening charge or the
charges during degree work. Every
officer, without exception, should be
/ qualified to give his regular charge in
opening and closing and the charge of
his office during work in any of the de-
Srees. Until he can do this he should
not attempt to fill any chair
These things may appear trivial, but
they are of vital Importance in max
ing successful and up-to-date lodge
of Odd Fellows. If you do not take
pride in the Office you hold, why did
you accept it when nominated and
elected, or when appointed by an
other? Let us strive TO grow and eX-
eel in every good thing, and the least
of them is not the competent filling of
an official station.
Grand Master Carbis has received an
appeal from Manti to institute a Re
behah lodge in that Temple CitySof
Sanpete county.
Odd Fellowship grows apace, and
each week shows some improvement |
somewhere or in some lodge.

Rebekahs-The National Rebekah
says: we hope the time will come
when the law-making power of Odd
Fellowship will be vested in a truly
representative body, consisting of ore
representative from each branch of the
order for each jurisdiction, with the
proviSo that when the secret work of
either branch is under discussion all
members of that branch
shall be excluded"
We will go a step further, and say
that no representative to the sovereign
grand lodge should have a vote or {
voice in legislation for any branch of
the order to which he does not belong. :
For instance: Why should a member ,,
of the sovereign grand lodge legislate
for Rebekahs, if he does not belong to 5
a. Rebekah lodge?
