with eternal truth, which binds men to-
gether with a tie that is indissoluble
1t helps men to be what God designed
they should be, brothers and philan-
] thropistS, each in his own vocation
working for the good of others.
When do we see more genuine love
and brotherly kindness displayed than
at the bedside of a dying odd Fellow
! Then everything is done that is pos
bic to cheer and relieve the suffering
brother, and also all that loving hearts
| can suggest to tighten the sorrows OF
| the bereaved family.
Does the love and sympathy of the
| Odd Fellows cease with the burial of
their brother? All, mol 1t has a still
wider sphere of duty then than ever
before. Many poor widows heart
has been made lighter, and many an
orphans cry TO-, food and clothing has
been silenced by the love and protec-
ton of the Odd Fellows. Would that
all men would join the order and adhere
strictly to their principles.
Many brothers imagine they are Odd
Fellows because they have taken the
four degrees of the order.
Some So-called Odd Fellows very soon
forget that truth is the imperial virtue
and therefore use it rather roughly.
There is a vast difference between self
interest and the interests of the order.
Charity consists in overlooking the
faults of a brother and looking on the
bright side of his character.

AS Odd Fellows, be straightforward
and honest in all your utterances, and
then fear no man; always oppose
Wrong-doing wherever, forever, or I'M
der whatever name it may appear.

nome in Lincoln, Ills, is worth repeat /
ng: A visitor present one day at meal .

IN apple. Yes" and he gave it. The /
