that contrast is not necessary for the

flowers and vegetables and he showed
such an interest that l can readily
imagine him sitting up all night to
watch the progress of some garden
treasure. Peter said that Johnny had
on several occasions planted seed and
then dug them up each day to see how
they were getting along but since then
that he had developed into quite an ex-
pert gardener. I promised the budding
Burbank some new seeds for his ex-
periments.
After Johnny, the two babies of the

a little boy and a girl both about of an

not faith at all. There must be

people ask, elias it cured 9th

disengaged hand but refused to relin-

The babies toddled away hand in

who said his name was Tony and ex-
planned that this was short for An

two years and he did not want to go

was going to take his little sister,
Julia, the little Spanish girl who had
met me in the lane, to live with him

Tony appeared with the great yellow

it was his friend. From that day the

On the ground floor is big reception

fireplace of natural stones. I made up
my mind to try and 90 back some time

by the soft glow of the logs in that
fireplace some chilly rainy evening.
The second floor contains a series of

the entire length of the building. When

Attention. Odd Fellows.


Yet are hereby reminded of the
fact that the first Thursday night
in December Is the time for the
election OF officers. Every MEM
Der is requested to be present. 1t
is to the interest of the lodge to
elect good set Of officers, espec-
tally the Vice Grand, as in order he
goes to the ch air of the Noble
Grand. and when you have elected
them remember and bear in mind
that I he officers cannot run the
lodge alone, for it takes more than
the officers to make a real live lodge.
The members must support them
by their presence and work in har-
mony to reach the climax of success.
Brother, do you ever stop to think
why you are an Odd Fellow and
why you joined the lodge? Was it
just because you wanted to have it
to say that you were member of
one of the greatest fraternal orders
in existence, or was it through idle
curiosity or for the intention of
making a better man of yourself
by being more faithful to your Gre
ator and helpful to your fellowman?
Remember tn e grand principles
upon which our noble order is
founded = Friendship. Love and
Truth" which will stand the test
throughout all eternity and for all
time. to come, and remember that
when you have passed off of the
stage of action that these princi-
pies will still live. So it behooves
you that while you are enjoying the
blessings of the Great Creator to
do all the good you can. ! call your
attention to the lesson of Jonathan
and David. Greater love hath no
uldu tUdu IL hdu III DdNiSs
but remember, my brother, that
your love is just as great for your
brother. So If you would attend a
little oftener and assist the breth-
rem in the good work and show by
your regular attendance that you
are trying to do your duty as an
Odd Fellow it will be gratifying to
yourself and might act as an in
centive for some other brother to
attend little oftener. Friendship
creates love; love is the bond of
unity. I hereby give you special
invitation to be present the first
Thursday night in December that
you may assist your brethren and
promote your interest by acts of
mutual assistance.
Yours fraternally,
AN ODD FELLOW.
