INDEPENDENT ORDER OF
ODD FELLOWS

One of the most brill
~& liant affairs ever held at
S gGoldberg- -Bosley assembly
rooms. Sixteenth and Flower sueets,
was the first military ball given under
the auspices of Canton Poinsettia No.
4, Patriarchs Militant, l. o. o. F., last
Monday night. During the afternoon
Brigadier General J. X. Ritter of San
Francisco instituted Canton Poinsettia
with a membership of thirty charter
members. Gen. Ritter, besides being
in command of the Patriarchs Militant
of California, also holds commits
sion as colonel on the staff of Governor
Gillett. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Ritter, and the two were the center of
attraction at Mondays ball.
The ball was attended by a large
number of women and men, many of
the latter being in the brilliant full
dress uniform of the Patriarchs Mill
tant.
The officers are as follows: Captain,
P, A. Casady; lieutenant, ]. L. de Cou-
Dress ensign, II. d. Spear; clerk,
Harry Quirin; accountant, F. c. Small
comb. They were installed during the
intermission, at which time Gen. Ritter
made a very interesting address, in
which he stated that there were 2100
members in the state and that Los
Angeles has the distinction of being
the only city in California which can
boast of two first-class cantons. He
also stated that, only through the un-
tiring efforts and hard work of Capt.
J. Park Dougall, was 1t possible to or
ganize and muster in such a lot of fine
appearing men as compose the new
canton. Captain Dougall is assistant
surgeon general on the generals staff,
and there is no better qualified man in
the order. The mention of his name
alone in connection with the new COM
pany is assurance Of success. Los
Angeles can also boast of having two
representatives on the generals staff
in the persons of Capt. j. Park Doug
all, assistant surgeon general, and
Capt. Gustavus A. Horn. drill master.
Among the officers high in the rank
of the Patriarchs Militant who were
present and who headed the grand
march were Brigadier General j, K.
Ritter and his staff as follows: Major
George Ward, Riverside; Capt J. Park
Dougall, Cant. Gustavus A.. Horn, Los
Angeles Col. S, Woodbridge, Capt. H.
S. Brown, Capt. S. Uttley, Santa Ana;
Capt. H. L. Brown, Major Clapp, Co
vina; Major c. w. Sheats, Santa Ana.
The following cantons were repre-
sented: Santa. Ana No. 1S. Pasadena
No. 81, Covina No. II. Riverside No.
%, Los Angeles No. 2. Several other
ed in person by their commanding Of
f1cers among them Lieut.. H. A. Wood
bine and Ensign J. Link, of the naval
militia and others. The installation
was put on by Canton No. 18, of Santa
Ana. Excellent music was furnished
by G. A. Horns large orchestra.
The new canton intends to give an
other military ball the early part of
the next year which promises to be
even more brilliant than this one, when
an. effort will be made to have every
organization of a military nature, in
this part of the state, to take part.

Need of Confidence in God

more and more confidence in God, and
finds Him daily what the Scriptures
promise Him to be-"our salvation also
in the time of trouble"
This knowledge that God is some-
thing to be trusted, and that the prayer
of trust and understanding coupled
with consistent righteous behavior
earns His protection and help. leads
the student of Christian Science to
take all his troubles to the same di-
vine source. He goes further than MS
earlier Christianity or his agnostlclsm
led him, and trusts his health entirety
to God. He no longer sets apart the
affairs of mind and heart as the only
things to be prayed over, leaving his
body to human skill and experiment,
but he knows that divine law, If obeyed
and understood, preserves his bodily
health, and so he brings every phase
of his thinking into obedience to ul-
vine demands The corrected percep-
tion concerning mans relation to God
convinces him that the only right and
safe place in which to rest the ques-
tion of his health and his happiness IS
with that Mind which is responsible
for the well-being of all creation; ana
so he leaves voluntarily the old systems
to which he looked for health, and goes
to that divine law in which he mas
learned to place his highest confidence,
TO SPIRITUALIZE THOUGHTS
The Individual who is not aware OF
the understanding of God which comes
to the Christian Scientist may look on
and believe that the Christian Scientist
is doing nothing to preserve his health
because he has given up the conVen-
tional and time-honored material
methods that are supposed to make
him we'll. Yet the truth of the matter
is that the mortal who is trusting his
health to the ministration of Christian
Science Is buster than he has ever been
before about this very question. He
has undertaken to watch all his own
thoughts to cast out of his thinking
all that is unlike Christ-likeness; TO
understand what the divine Mind Is,
and how to spiritualize his thoughts in
order that the material beliefs Whleh
make sickness possible may disappear
under the growing understanding of
Gods presence and power. He is en-
ployed in trusting God in an awakened
and enlightened way that invokes the
activity of Gods law in his behalf.
Many lessons the Christian Scientist
has to learn in coming into this higher
confidence, and in many ways and ac-
cording to his own point of V1eW the
onlooker may interpret what he sees or
the Christian Scientists experiences.
But unseen to the observer a change
of consciousness is going on in the
honest adherent of Christian Science.
A reconstruction of his mental OUT
look is the outcome of the richer,
deeper understanding of God which
Christian Science gives him. And
gradually the increasing confidence in
a good and understandable God with
whom every human problem can be
trusted, bears fruit in a health and
happiness which give unmistakable
evidence that the ministry of Chris
tian Science, revealing as it does a
God worth trusting, and urging in it's
every word cleaner, stronger trust in
Him, is a ministry of peace on earth''
that is heaven-sent and heaven-pro-
tected.

t5AS The next event VIII pc d.
Clutch wedding" which
will follow the business
meeting on the night of September 80.
The secrecy of this wedding is in
tended to draw out a big crowd of the
curious minded. Dancing and cards
will conclude the entertainment.
Lieut.. Gen. George S. Adolph started
last Tuesday for Illinois, where among
his old friends and associates he hopes
to institute several new lodges of the
Fraternal Brotherhood. Mrs. Adolph
accompanied him. They expect to be
away from home for the balance of the
year.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Rogers, who have
completed a successful two months
work in Santa Monica lodge, No. 1873,
have been transferred to the lodges at
Ventura and Santa Barbara, where.
without a question, the showing made
will rival that of Santa Monica lodge.
September II Santa Monica lodge,
after initiating eight candidates, held
reception in honor of Supreme Coun-
selor c. A. Post and wife. An excel
lent musical program was rendered and
farewells said to Brother and Sister
Rogers who were about to depart to
new fields after having placed Santa
Monica lodge we'll up on the honor roll
of the thirty big Ones" in California.
T.. L.
have passed the summer months IN
Long Beach, have returned to the San
Joaquin valley, where their efforts dur
ing the fall months will be devoted to
the interests of the lodges in that sec
tion.
The lodges in the Imperial valley
section will welcome the coming of j.
]. Banbury and wife, who for time
will interest themselves in the mem
bership growth in that section. Nege-
tation is not the only thing that thrives
in the Imperial valley, as the grown
of L. F. B. lodges will indicate.
Mrs. Alice E. j. Roby entertained the
officers of Los Angeles lodge. No. !,
at her home, S32 Manhattan place, on
the evening of September %. Business
was combined with pleasure, and ways
and means were devised for conducting
the business and increasing the mem
bership, as well as plans for social
programs for the next six months.
The officers and escort team OF Her
mosa lodge, No. so, paid fraternal
visit to Los Angeles lodge, No. l, Sep
tember is, and initiated a class of eight
candidates for the host. These fra
ternal visits do much toward cementlng
the friendship existing among the
various city lodges.
With the beginning of October re-
vival of interest is promised through
out It. F.. B. jurisdiction. Reports
from the various lodges are to the ef-
feet that campaigns are underway
whereby the membership will be very
materially increased by the close OF
1910 The last three months of the year
win be a fitting climax for a good
volume of business for the months pre-
ceding it, "Everybodys shoulder to the
Wheel" is the motto for the balance
of 1910.
Hermosa's calendar for the next six
months shows for September 26 an
open meeting and juvenile night. The
open meetings of this lodge are al
ways we'll attended. and this pro-
gram win be apt to prove an extra
inducement.
