The Dominion Odd Fellow very truly
says: Would you know more of Odd
Fellowship. and what it teaches2 Then
study your ritual and become thorough
~ acquainted with the lectures and
charges; above all know your obliSa-
lions. How can a brother be true TO
his obligations when he knows them
not? knowing the lessons taught by
our order, and being conEersaut with
its obligations and principles, you can
make them a part of your life and
thereby become better citizens.

II is a singular exhibition of iGaor-
ance on the part of presiding officers
rising to discuss every measure brought
forward. II is his duty to preside and
guide, not lead; to maintain order, not
create strife. Keep your seat, brother.
and preside with dignity. When the
presiding officer of a lodge is disposed
to talk on every subject introduced, to
the exclusion and disgust of everybody
else, we would suggest that the lodge
should cork him"
Never take pleasure in the mistakes
OF others: shield a brother when siam
der assails him; build up, but don't
pull down. Believe all the good OF
fellow being that you can, and over his
sins fling the mantle of charity If
You repeat, do it in charity and not -
anger.
