following:
At the last session of the Grand
Lodge a movement was started for the
establishment of a home for the aged
and INDECENT Odd Fellows and their
wives.
Brother E. B. January, of Paris,
whom every member of the Grand
Lodge knows, was the author of the
resolution, and if the members of the
Order in Kentucky will go into the
work heart and soul, as he has done,
the Order will be assured of a place
of rest and care for their old members
who have given years Of service to the
Order. The resolution was as follows
Whereas, There is in this jurisdic-
ton quite number of Odd Fellows al
their wives in INDECENT circumstances
and unable to work and support them
selves, and believing it to be the duty
of the Odd Fellows at large to make
some provision for their support; it is
therefore
Resolved. That the Grand Master be
and is hereby directed to appoint
committee of seven brothers, to be
known as a committee on INDECENT Odd
Fellows and Wives Home, whose duty
it shall be to solicit from lodges and in
dividuaIs subscriptions of funds for the
purpose of purchasing a suitable Home
in which they may be cared for, said
committee to report at next session
1908 of this Grand Lodge, their pro-
gress in the matter.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the Grand Master then
appointed the following committee: E.
B. January, No. %, Paris. KY, chair
man A. w. Clemens, PIG NJ, Nc. 81,
Morganfield; T. S. Shaw, No S5, YER
sailles; S. C Prows, No. %, Licking
! ton Otto A. Breith, G.P. ,No20. New
port; D. c. Dingus, No. 293, Preston
burg Alex Levy, No. 1876, Louisville,
KY.
Just think how easy it will be with
25,417 Odd Fellows IN this State to
raise sufficient funds for this purpose.
If each one would give just one cent
day for one year the magnificent sum
of 81, 05 would be raised, and what
Odd Fellow would not do this?

ship is not work of selfshness; it is
to do all the good we can for others,
and in what better way can we aid our
fellow men?
Let us go into this work like men,
Odd Fellows, good and true, with a de-
termination to have this Home for our
brothers and their wives, who are near
the foot of the hill and around whom
the shades of life are fast gathering,
and make their declining years peace.
full and pleasant. What is impossible
with $4,000 ODD Fellows? Nothing.
/ There is no such word as "fail' in our
| lexicon. The matter is now up to the
Odd Fellows of Kentucky.
/ Bourbon Lodge No. %, of Paris, KY,
promised to raise 81. 900 for such a pur-
/ pose. They appointed committee of
/ three to solicit pledges and raised
| $l,749 from 115 members, and have
at least 60 more members to see yet.
If every lodge will take the matter
up and go to work, we can get this home
and will be able to report sufficient
/ funds fer its establishment by the time
the next Grand Lodge meets. Write
Brother E. B. January, Paris. KY,
and tell him what your lodge will do.
