running with bad company his days

1 believe John would make no mis-
take to unite with the Indenenaent
Order of Odd Fellows, for an organiza-
ton that exists for the extension of
charity, love, friendship, and truth
must be an inspiration ia anv vounp
life.
The grandest specimens of manhood
in this Republic have been true Ma
sons and loyal Odd Fellows. We have
a right TO Judge tree by it's fruits.
If the fruit IS good the tree must be
good and has right to live. The
fruit produced by the fraternal organi-
cations of our land has been good
fruit, so we throw our cap in the air
and give three rousng cheers Ia every
noble fraternal body and shout. Long
live the Independent Order of odd
Fellows! If John becomes an odd
Fellow he will take step in the right
direction, but II he joins a club that is
founded on the basis of drinking and
gambling ana swearing, he will deter
mine his destiny in downward direc-
ton.
Religion is n whole that is made up
of two parts. Love of God, plus love
of man. constitute religion. This was
the only creed that Christ offered the
early Christians; this is the only creed
we ask you to adopt today. A man
cannot love God and hate his brother.
nor can he love his brother and hate
God. This is a contradiction in terms.
Love and hate can no more blend in
the heart, than oil and water mix in
the sea. AS light is offered to dark
ness, so love must conquer hate.
Love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart; and love thy neighbor as thy
SELF
What is it that determines the moral
tone of our city? 1t is not the teach
ing Of the pulpit or the education of the
school, so much as the men who walk
up and down our streets and join
hands. rouSing eternal allegiance to
each other. Be true to the lofty teach
ing of your order and the lofty precepts
of the Christ.
