Iivers Grafton Before Several
Thousand People

ceremony the cornerstone of the new
odd Fellows han now in course of
erection at Seventh and Market streets

thousand persons. The onlookers were
banked a score deep along Seventh
street and intermingling with the
glitter and flash of the uniforms and
insignia of the members of the lodges
were those of the soldiers OF the home
and foreign forces. While some of the
latter were mere spectators others
were members of the order, and, though
far from their mother lodges, joined
their brethren in the celebration.
W. w. Watson, past grand master
and orator of the day. said that the
completion of, the new building would
give additional encoura cement to the
members of the order in carrying out
the purposes for which they had or
ganiZed.
ALL CLASSES IN LODGEROOMS
There is no gainsaying the fact" he
said, that the Odd Fellows exert a
powerful influence in this state, in the
nation and throughout the world; and
that it is an influence for good, we are
all sincere IN DelleNlnB, because no
man who is not grateful to his coun-
try, faithful to his God and fraternaI
to his fellow man is a good Odd Fellow,
and were we not good Odd Fellows we
could never have arrived at our pres
ent standing and strength.
Within our lodgerooms are all
classes gathered. Professional men,,
men of brains, men of Drawn. toilers in
every conceivable walk of life meet
within our gates on a common level
Each learns from the other and each
helps the other to learn. The circle of
understanding of each is widened and
the members recognize one another, not
according to wealth, but as to worth;
not according to rank but as to
righteousness. ri These lessons / say go
to the making of better citizens and
better men,"

that were not at issue. Backing up
the principal speakers were Michael
