order There has never to my know
ledge been a hull in the membership in
terests in your body, and consistently
believe that if all viii go out and con-
tinue in the good work, the encamp-
ment win pass any crisis it may meet
and the organization will always re-
main as it is, and has been, SUCCESSFUL
in the truest sense of the word.
Odd fellowship finds its greatest sue
cess in the work of the members, ana
the continued interest of all should be
placed at the highest pitch, all that can
be done should be always the inspira-
ton of the members, and with all these
things there can be no such thought
entertained as failure in our midst |
ask you to preach encampment Odd
Fellowship to your fellows, teach them
that the one secret of success lies in the
entrance of one and all to the honor
roll of those who are now so faithfully
serving, and all will be we'll
One thing l want to say to YOU my
friends, and that is, that there is no
room for a division, no room for the
outside criticisms of the localized or
CARNATIONS, and we also carry with this
idea the thought which you will all so
freely endorse, and that Is that for the
noble organization for which we stand
there is but one great and brilliant
principle behind it all-that which in
wolves the spirit of o-operation-the
spirit of love of companionship, and
the general good of all those works of
mankind.
Therefore the duty of the hour, and
the thing to do at all times, is to get
together. There you will find the secret
of success. the one grand road to per-
lection. This will bring about as it has
already the good and true manhood
represented in the citizenship of this
country, men born with the very prin-
ciple of American liberty and American
| thrift mingled in their blood, men of
American industrial enterprise in the
order and out of It, the glory and the
| triumph of the world at large.
The encampment branch of Odd Eel
lowship won its own history, by its own
display. 1t is firmly fixed in the organ
ization history of the world, and it
simply rests with you, you who are to
take up the work, to maintain that
same grand stride which means so
much in the end.
1t represented in the one great and
only way that the boys have longed for,
the fulilment of a desire which has
been the sole wish for many years, and
| now with the attainment of the beauti
! full Royal Purple, I am sure that we
have that which has come to stay, and L
| believe that it shall be worn for years,
Il Z
member how the patriots of rs delight
ed in the honor of the Royal Purple,
and how the principle of then and now
was carried back still further to the
days of our foPefathers, how each
movement has shown a steadfast prin-
! ciple to the ideas of patriarchal Odd
| Fellowship, and 1 believe that it is a
principle true to the teachings of our
order, which results in our ability to
sit here in harmony and love
| These things which we now enjoy,
and those which we are celebrating to-
night do not come to US as a free gift;
| indeed it is labor the pure and honest
work of the membership of our great
and noble Organization, which has
made this celebration possible. I be-
lieve it a tribute fittingly confessed.
Mr.. Fuller then brought his remarks
to close by urging the members to
| keep up the good work which they had
so nobly performed in the past
James K. Churchill, who followed,
| spoke in a pleasing manner, and he
turned the tide of applause for time
| to one of sadness by a reference, par
| ticulariy touching, to the lives of those
with whom he used to be associated in
| the days of long ago. Well he could re-
member the night when the grand sire
| of the whole worlds organization was
| mustered" into the service of the
| great lodge, and with glowing terms he
eulogized the period during which Mr..
Pinkerton had been enlisted" in the
work. Other speeches were made by
Clarence E. Caswell, Charles n. Alex
ander, John u. Perkins and other off
GERS of the grand lodge.
/ The speeches were brought to a close
shortly after $50 o'clock, in order to let
the grand officers go, they being
obliged to leave for Boston at S57, but
the others remained, listening to a pro-
gram of speeches and other interesting
matters until past 10 O'clock.
