showing by our daily walk that we
are Odd Fellows in spirit and in truth,
as well as by profession? If not, we
are remiss in our duty. and are not
fulfilling our mission. 1t is more i'm
portant to be a thing than to claim
to be it: more important to do good,
to extend charity, to relieve distress, to
nurse the sick, than it is to teach that
these things should be done. AS the

odd Fellow known by his deeds. To
each Odd Fellow and Rebekah present
tonight, there should come the desire,
on this our natal day, to live more
loyal to our beloved Order: to work
more persistently for it's welfare; and,
to exemplify in our actions the beau
ties and virtues Of our fraternity. And
to those with us tonight, who are not
Odd Fellows or Rebekahs: we thank
You for your presence and sympathy,
and trust that the time will come in
the near future when you will be with

And now, feeling that I should not
further trespass upon your time, in
friendship, love and truth, I bid you
