humanity less hell and the devil, and more friendship, love and truth, and people will be more happy and pay more of their obligations to man."
 "A justice of the highest courts once said: i've weigh the evidence and when we find an ounce of truth, it outweighs a ton of other evidence"
 "I was at @ gathering of Odd Fellows, and the banquet was minister of the gospel who said: "you Odd Fellows take the cake" beg to say to you at this time, we, as Odd Fellows, do take the cake and everything connected with it. We take the whole bakery. together with the four and flour mill. And not only that, we take the wheat and the man that produces the wheat-he too, is an Odd Eel low. And we go further and take his daughter, and she becomes a Rebekah, which is one of the best and dearest orders on earth. Many years ago our order received many set backe, and the members were dubbed as mean and sneaking, but truth, linked with love and friend ship, has made many changes.
 Again I say, no secret order stands in higher esteem than the Odd Fellows. Ouf order is known everywhere under the sun. Should you wander to the far west among the savage Pequatts and the man. eater, there you will find Odd Eel lows. The savage Indians. who at one time roamed the woods and killed the fleet deer with his bow and arrow, and scalped the white man; he too is being educated and becoming Odd Fellows. The Mon golians, the Mohammedans, and the black race that dwells in dark est Africa and dances on the burn ing sand, are Odd Fellows. And why? Because they want to know the truth that exists in our order. The truth lives forever and ever. Truth is mightier than the pen or sword. Our banner is like no other banner on earth. Our ban ner is linked together with the chain of friendship, love and truth.
 Ladies, Sisters and Brothers, 1 thank you all for your kind atten- ton. 1 am always yours in friend ship, love and truth"
