ga Seraphim was sent from the realms
OF the blest,
To plant hope aud Joy in the weary
ones breast;
To comfort the mourner, to solace the
sad,
To bid the heart-broken to look up and
be glad;
And it came with the banner Of love all
unfurled
Unstained and triumphant, TO wavo
oyer the world;
And the motto there blazoned by spir-
its above,
Was the heavenly watchword, Truth,
Friendship and Love,
The glad seraph fulfilled its high mis-
sion and gave,
It's banner unsoiled to the honest and
brave,
Languages have flown and that flag is
no more;
But still all undimmed is the motto il
bore;
'Tis writ on the heart for aye to re-

And bright in the Odd Fellows heart

As William E. Gladstone, the great
commoner, was dying he said to the
vicar OF Buckley, "Pray for me and for
all our fellow Christians and for all
our fellow creatures, then after a mo-
ment'of pause he added, edo not forget

LOVE.

Love is the greatest thing the world
"Now abideth faith, hope and love, but
the greatest of these is love-" A new
commandment, said Jesus, I give unto
you, that ye love one another. No more
beautiful tribute was ever paid to a hu-
man being than to Sir Bartle Frere by
his wife. Once upon going to the rail-
road station to meet her husband she
took with her servant who had never
seen him. She ordered the servant to
find him. He answered in astonish-
ment: Glow shall I know him?''
ooh" she said, ''look for tall gen
tleman helping somebody" Sure
enough he found Sir Bartle helping an
old lady out of railway carriage and
kuew him at once by the description.
This is the meaning of love, "helping
somebody" and that is it's meaning as
iterpreted by Odd Fellows, Love,
which manifests itself in acts of kind
ness and deeds Of mercy end goodness,
visiting the sick, educating the orphan,
helping the widow, assisting the needy
brother and burying the dead.

have been closed forever it must be
reokoned as one Of the greatest forces
which God has ordained for the frater-
nization and the uplifting of the hu-
man race.
Nathaniel Hawthorne in one of his
fantasies has imagined a new Adam
and Eve coming to the earth after day
of doom has swept away the whole Of
mankind, leaving their works, abodes
and inventions, all that bear witness
to the present condition of humanity.
They pass through the streets Of a de-
populated city, the sharp contrast be-
tween the splendor Of one habitation
and the squalor of another they recog-
nize and are filed with astonishment.
They are painfully amazed at the un-
mistakable signs of the inequality in
the conditions of men; they are trou-
bled and overwhelmed by the evidence
of the great and miserable fact that
one portion of earth's inhabitants was
rich and comfortable and full of ease,
while the multitude was poor and
weary and full Of toll That is the con
dition of our world today. But one Of
the greatest forces to bring about that
better day when all men shall be broth
ers is the order of Odd Fellowship,
whose history I have just sketched,
III. THE PRINCIPALS AND PURPOSES.
Odd Fellowship is that great and
universal brotherhood bound with the
chains of the triple links, Friendship,
Love and Truth in au especial cove
nant to protect the widows and or
phans; to Bury the dead, to help each
other in want, to counsel each other in
difficulty, to improve and elevate the
character of men, to enlighten his
mind, and to enlarge the sphere of his
affection. The main objects of Odd
Fellowship are to afford mutual relief
and protection to its members in times
of want and distress, danger and diff
fculty; to cultivate social relations
among its members, teach them to be
industrious and frugal, inculcate cor
rect moral principles and increase by
/
the practice of charity their love for
their fellowmen.
1t has been truly said that no man
can become a genuine Oodd Fellow
without at the same time becoming q
better man, a useful man, a true man,
as God would have him live. Odd
Fellowship presupposes love in its tru.
est and most practical sense; it teaches
unseltishness and self-sacrifce. Its
great command is visit the sick, re.
heye the distressed, bury the dead and
educate the orphan. In Egypt's bool
of the dead, written two thousand year.
before the birth of Abrahama, occurs
this passage: "He hath given the
bread to the hungry, water TO the thirs
ty, clothes to the naked; he hath giyer
a boat to the shipwrecked be hatl
made due offerings to the gods anC
paid due rights to the departed. Thi'
is the fundamental need and demand
of the race and the requirement o
Jehovah, and it is the central fact o
Odd Fellowship. Let us for momen
discuss the three great and beautiful
links which bind together this brother
hood.

FRIENDSHIP,

Think of the beautiful friendship of
Jonathan and David. They loved each
other as their own souls. How beauti-
full are the words of the Master as he
says, II call you not servants, but |
have called you friends" Friendship
is the worlds purest gold. To Arta-
bazus, a courtier, Cyrus gave o cup Of
gold, but to Chrysanthus, his favorite,
he gave only kiss, whereupon the
courtler said; "Sire; the cup you gave
me was not so good as the kiss you
gave Chrysanthus." Truly friendship
is better than gold or money.

JUDAS THE BETRAYER.
The Decoy steer of the Chicago Stock
Yards and His Work.

Yards and His Work.
One of the sights of the great cattle
yards of Chicago is an old white OK
named Judas. An OK may Mise to
eminence by his cunning and wisdom
as well as man, and Judas has risen.
He came to the yards a good many
years ago, while he was yet a frisky
steer and lie was Immediately pur-
chased by one of the great packing
houses and driven from the train
which brought him from his Iowa
home to distant yard.
The life of most animals at the
cattle yards is very short-a week at
the very most. A few days after the
arrival of Judas the herd of cattle
which occupied the pen with him was
selected for killing. The way to the
packing house led down long alley
way with high fences on each side,
then up a narrow chute and into the
building. For some reason the cattle
seem to know what is coming, for
they always object to. being driven up
the chute. Judas was no exception.
He plunged madly about among the
herd and the .cattlemen had more
trouble with him than with any other

Morally q Hero

Our forecastle quarters, deserted by
Lieutenant S. at the lombard.
nent of Odessa, were at this time
commanded by Lieutenant E.. He
was universally popular; he was very
fat, and had the usual characteristics
If fat men. He had often told me in
conversation of his great desire to
distinguish himself, and particularly
that he would like to belong to High
land regiment. But as soon as the
Russian shot came flying about the
!!orecastle he entirely lost his nerve,
ne became physically incapable, the
,erspiration streamed down his terri
5ied face, and he became actually i'll;
,ome of the men even ventured to
,haff him, advising him to put his
nead into newly made shot hole, as
ae might be certain no second shot
would strike exactly the same spot.
So it .devolved wholly on me at Sc
oastopoI, as at ODESSA to fight the
forecastle quarters. Now, I have al
ways thought he was the bravest man
[ have ever seen in action; incontest-
ably ill, paralyzed with terror, wholly
incapable, nothing would induce him
to leave his quarters; by stupendous
and amazing moral effort he, stuck to
his post, and remained on the fore
castle until the fight was >over. Not
many men would have had this cour-
age.-Sir Edmund Verney, in The
Contemporary.

The Sleeve the Feature.

A feature of the new gown IS, OF
course, the sleeve, that has been go
ing through the same process of evo-
luton, or rather revolution, on which
the skirts are just entering. There is
no question that fashion has gone
back again to the tight sleeve, and
now there is just as much attention
paid to having the sleeve fit closely
over the upper part of the arm as there
is to having skirt fit absolutely
smoothly over the hips. There are
many people to whom q close-ftting
sleeve is not becoming, and as yet
fashion is kind enough to allow GER
tain amount Of trimming-rows OF
tucks, or soft folds. or even caps over
the very top of the sleeve-but the
very smartest coats and waists are
quite plain. Cuffs have come into
fashion again, that is, the cuffs OF the
same material as the gown, or of fur,
or lace. They are turned back from
the hand and are flarirg in design,
and even when the sleeve is cut very
long over the hand and in points, the
points can be turned back to look
like faring cuffs. The coats trimmed
with fur are very much smarter this
way than they were with the plain
sleeves, but on the sleeve of any
waist that has to be worn under
coat the fashion is awkward.

from Harper's Bazaar, is shown

Judas had been so very clever that
4 the good d.natured cattl emen let him so
for that day; for genius iis to- be ap-
preciated in d steer as well as in a
man. The next day, however, they
drove him up again with another
herd. This time ne made not the
slightsst obisefi but trotted for

having q; coma denE leader, behaved

again, SO suddenly that the men

n8ds zone pefoSeS wnlle tne hera oe-
md him went careering into the kill

Since, then Judas. has been regular
employe of the cattle yards. Every
day he leads up herd of cattle and
every day he lodges just at the door
of the building. He has saved the
cattlemen no end of trouble and delay
with riotous herds since he began his
service. He has grown fat and sleek
on the good living of the yards, and
so highly are his services regarded
that the cattlemen provide him with q
white blanket on cold days to keep
him comfortable.
And thus he is living to green
old age, but he bears the disrespect-
full name of Judas-the betrayer.
