time; and our beloved Order ever rest
securely upon the Rock of Ages"
AS the second stone was lowered and
the cement spread placed between, COW
ering the box, Mr.. Petrie said:
"In Benevolence and Charity 1 lay
this cornerstone, earnestly praying that
as it is firmly fixed in this solid foun-
dation, so may those cardinal virtues
immutably repose in our organization,
and be the constant practice Of our
Order.
LAS this cement binds together the
stones of the wall, so may the cement
of brotherly affection bind us together
during all the days of our lives here
below; and so may the cement of Divine
Love, in our Fathers own good time,
unite us living stones in the Temple
above, the house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens
The choir then sang Blessed be The
Tie That Binds" and after prayer by
the chaplain, Vice Grand L. Todd read
the proclamation:
by direction of the Noble Grand I
declare this cornerstone duly laid ac-
cording to regular and ancient form;
and the building that is to rise upon it,
devoted to the principles and work of
Odd Fellowship"
Noble Grand Petrie then said:
Brethren of our Order, the duty as
signed to US has been performed. We
have begun a good work, which it re-
mains for you to finish. Having enter
ed upon so important an enterprise, fail
not in carrying it forward to success,
which / am confident you will achieve.

worthy of being dedicated to the great
cause of Humanity, and which will re-
fleet honor upon your zeal in its be-

SYMPATHY FOR JUDGE ESTEE.
Hon. W. o. Smith, who delivered the

Brother NJ. NJ. Estee in his illness and
asked that prayer be offered that his
life be spared. He expressed also the
sincere regret felt over Judge Estee's
ina bility 10 attend.
MR.. SMITHS ADDRESS.
Mr.. Smith spoke as follows:
Among the events of life the dav of
home-making stands out eonspicuously
as one of great interest.
In the process of development and
growth comes the time when the build
ing of a home marks an epoch-a point
of departure.
All systems of government and organ
ization of a permanent character, in
civilized communities, follow in large
measure the family idea. The home,
with its protection, privacy and asso-

Citations is so dear that it becomes {
most important part of our lives.
THE HOME CASTLE

A home implies an association of in
dividuals with common interests and
aspirations; a spot shielded from the
public gaze, where the interests of the
family may be fostered-the castle into
which the stranger cannot come unbid-
den.
Many things which contribute to in
dividual comfort and growth are ephem-
eral in their nature, lasting but a
brief period and are used up with the
using; others are of more permanent
character. OF the more abiding things
to which much thought and attention
are given is the place of abode.
In tha making of such a structure the
wise builder gives no greater atten-
ton to any part than to the founda-
tions, upon which the whole is to rest.
And the cornerstone, its bed, the ma
terial of which it is formed, it's pro-
portions and its settings, are of mo-
ment

THE GREAT ARCHITECT.

From the earliest times reference to
the cornerstone has been made as a
matter Of significance. In the sacred
record it is related that the Creator
the great Architect and Master-builder-
in rebuking Job referred to the founda-
ton of the earth, and asked him who
laid the cornerstone thereof
The interest which centers about the
laying of a cornerstone is due partly to
the permanent nature of the work.
Lives will pass, generations may come
and go, and even nations disappear
while it remains faithful at it's post.
In a sense the fidelity Of inanimate
objects appeals to US. Much of human
happiness and comfort depends upon
faith and confidence in the trustworthi-
ness of such materials. From the cradle
to the grave we trust in things about
us. Who knows. in the final reckoning,
the account which will be made of the
part which wood iron and stone have
taken?
We are here today in obedience to
call which touches chords and aWakes
responses which may not be fully eX-
pressed in words. So much is fleeing
and evanescent, that which carries into
the future and survives when our IN
dividuality will not remain even as
memory, savors of Immortality.
There is special significance in this
event to those who are of the great
brotherhood in whose name and to
whose service this structure is dedicat-
ed
The chief cornerstone of the order is
firmly laid in fraternaI hearts. and rests
on the foundation of faith in the
Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of
man.
The motto Friendship, Love and
Truth-twin-broth to the great prin-
ciple Of Justice. Judgment and Mercy

lows together.
PRINCIPLE OF ODD FELLOWSHIP.
Odd Fellowship is founded upon the
eternal principle which recognizes man
a a constituent of one universal Broth
erhood; teaches him that as he came
from the hands Of a common parent,
he is bound to cherish and protect his
fellow man. It thus presents broad
platform, upon which mankind may
unite in offices of human benefaCtiOn.
Under its comprehensive influence all
the nations of the earth may con-
centrate their energies for the good
of the common race. Based upon GER

THE OLD STRUCTURE.

The building in whose place the new
| structure is to be reared, was we'll and
| strongly fashioned, and when removed
| to make place for it's more stately sue
| cessor, was found to be sound and true.
The progress of events-the growth of
| the city with its expanding population
and needs-required the widening of the
thoroughfare upon which it rested, and
so the old with all its associations and
memories gives way to the new.
While looking forward and onward
with expectant gaze and hopeful hearts,
! we cannot part from the old home with
! out a last tribute.
AS it stood upon the highway man
came and went, and grew from child
hood to youth and old age, it not only
saw thousands of care encountered
men each bearing his burden of sor-
rows" passing by, but it saw the youths
and maidens with smiles and hopes and
bushes. With the burdens and cares
it saw the love and cheer, the joy and
gladness. Through sunshine and storm,
| light and darkness, it stood faithful and
| true. Reverentiy may we say, We'll

spirit of hope and faith.
Rending of old ties, failure Of plans
and tearing up of foundations, may try
and disappoint but nothing can shake
the true heart in its trust and con-
fidence.
One of the offices of Odd Fellowship
is to encourage and maintain faith in
the things which do not perish.
THE HOME OF THE ODD FELLOW.
The lodge is the home of the Odd
Fellow, where he is always welcome
with a spirit that never changes.
The knock at the door may come from
time to time, and one by one those we
knew and loved may be conducted to
the portals of the Great Lodge and mi
tiated into its mysteries, and be lost
to US. but the places thus made vacant
are filled with others who in turn serve
their day and pass on.
The teaching of Odd Fellowship re-
minds each brother of the perishable
nature of human life and of all those
outward objects that so often excite
mems passionate ambition, and remind
him of the darkness and doubt through
which man gropes his way to a knowl-
edge of himself, his duty and his desti-
ny. And it seeks to lead him to the
light of that Truth which reveals to
him Love as the grand remedy. the
foundation of all good. To this light
and liberty he is guided by the gentle
/ influences of fraternal affection.
With all the human love and care.
and all the light which sheds its rays
/ to show the way, there is so much that
/ is but partly seen. the spirit reaches
/ out after the invisible and immortal.
( There is a consciousness Of the weak
! ness of human air, the narrowness OF
human vision, and the selfshness of hu-
man hearts.
As we turn and peer into the future
and vision is lost in the mists, and a
/ sense of the brevity of this existence
! steals into our hearts. we lift up our
/ eyes to the light and 70 that hope. vel,

tain truths, which are axioms. its sacred
tolerance presents a nucleus which. by
its gentle influence, gathers within its
orbit antagonistic natures, controls the
elements of discord, stills the storm
and soothes the spirit of passion.
FRATERNITY"
The first great principle of Odd Eel
loWship is fraternity-a universal fra
ternity in the family of men.
From this principle We learn to re-
gard the great author OF our existence
as our Father; to recognize each other
as alike the offspring of the same par
ent-as the masterpiece of his handi-
work. We are, therefore, brothers.
With the divisions and classifications
of human society the order holds no fell
lowship. While it inculcates a venera-
ton for religion, and subordination to
civil government and it's laws, it studi-
ously avoids all affinity with systems
of faith or sects, whether religious or
political.
NO SACRIFICE REQUIRED.
In becoming an Odd Fellow no sacri-
flee of opinions, no change of relations
to the state, no loosening of the obliga-
lions to the laws and institutions under
which we live, is required. On the con-
trary, no one can ever become an Odd
Fellow in spirit and in truth, unless he
is grateful to his Creator, faithful to
his country, and fraternal to his fellow
man.
Strife and discord, party and sect,
which create heart burnings and divi-
sions among men, are by the laws of
the Order banished from it's councils.
The Order wars against vice in all its
forms; friendship towards man prompts
the contest; the gentle influences of
love supply the weapons; truth con-
socrates the effort and leads to vic
tory.
