the bylaws and regulations oil
this noble ordsr-You will still say
that the principals are not good
We are then ready to grant you
the ,priviIsdge that God did not
tell us the right thing, when He
said this.

God and thu Father is this. 10 visit
the tatherless and widows in their

him; and tint thou hide not myself
from thine own flesh? Is 5S-7.
| We ask where is the Church
which is fulfilling these principals
which we have mentioned above:
More accurately than The
4 great order OF Odd
fellows are doing. II such a
Church cannot be pointed out, so
that u can DO seen as u city set on
bill, then friends Of all good quit
fighting such principals and fight
SIN and crime where ever you
find il;
Again in order to give you more
Of the principals Of this order we
shall ask you TO investigate these
Scriptures.
| The steps Of a good man are ordered
by tbs Lord and he dcighleth in his
! way.
/ Thong h he fall he shall 4ot be utter
1 ly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth
him with his hand,
have been young. and now am old,
yet have | not seen the righteous for
saken, nor ais seed begging bread
/ He is ever, mercif,il. aud, lende III,
ind his seed is blessed
/ Depart from evil and do good; and
dwell for evermore'
For the Lord love,d judgement, and
! fNrsaketh not his saints, they are pre-
served for ever but the seed OF The wick
cd sbull be Gu, Of.
The righteous shall inherit tho land,
and dwell therein for ever. Pisa. 81, 90
IA as s6--37- = aS-29.
There is no Oddfellow who will
DOT recognize the above scripture
AS trae principals Of their order
! And as far as we can understand
the principals Of Christianity they
are recognized and accepted,
Again we shall ask YOU to read
this part of Gods word also,
i have seen the wicked in great
power and spreading himself like a
green bay tree
! Yet he passed away. and. 10. he was
not; yea sought Kim. bul he could
not ue found.
Mark the perfect man. and behold
the upright: for the end of tina, man is
peace,
But the transgrcssors shall he DESTROY
81 together, the end % The wicked shall
he cut IF. Pisa. 81 81 10 %.
/ Many have grown old but was
4sN - 81
young first--And there has been
bu, few men among tho Nations
who las not kept secret in some
| part OF their lite---It would be
useless for me to ask them canst
thou keep secret, or has thou
kept a secrct--They, with very
few receptions would have TO say
/ wc have.
Now to tho fraternity, just a
few words. Aud it 10 this: There
are many who do not belong 70
the order, and many Of them con.
denim it, on conduct OF some who
profess to be of the Number. In
4 the first place We wish to say to
lyon, whenever your conduct is
such as to bring from the lips OF
ou,siders a railing accusation ..
gainst the order--Then you have
forgotten the solemn obligations
you have taken TO God and your
fellow man-And you have for
gotten the example Of tho Crossing
