not rest solely with the officers. Every
member has an individual interest and
can assist in some way to keep up the
enthusiasm and bring in new material.
This fact has been demonstrated time
and again in Odd Fellowship, and its
wonderful growth and present strength
is due to the fact that officers and
members work assiduously together for
the good of all.
Odd Fellowship as taught today is
the embodiment of good, good for all.
Men struggling through life with cares
and SorroWs, temptations and losses,
find in it a relief and comfort; they go
to the lodgeroom when almost overrun
with toll and perpleXity, and in associa-
lions with friends and brethren forget
those things that throughout the day
had burdened them. They find human
kindness and sympathy. The order
teaches its followers that the sovereign
ty of self over self is the highest at
tainment and that to give up to others
is Fraternity indeed.
Local.-The event of the week has
been the fair held in I. o. o. F. temple
by Salt Lake lodge No. 2. 1t would prove
an inadequate testimonial to the
brothers having it in charge to say that
it was well managed and that it had
many interesting features. To one Wis
iting it the first time it is an over
whelming surprise; surprise that so
many features and amusements could
be emcompassed in one hall. The
booths, where almost everything was
purchasable, at reasonable prices, at
tract the crowds. Fabrics from
all parts of the world are here
displayed and offered at prices
which find ready purchasers.
The amLeements are varied and
interesting. Card tables are there,
where friends may pass an hour or so
in a game of high five, sixty three, "
or anything else that may amuse. A
! large space has been provided for
| dancing, with good music, and the
