Paul did yon mean by this that
We should fellowship all other

ment to show us that he was
talking to the Gentiles who we
have traced from their orogin
on the sixth day as Oddfellows.
The fellowship they had now in
Christ Jesus and to show the
: grand principals OF Oadfellow-

no sclfishness belongs to those
principals, No narrow guage
road in those principals. They
are cOvcl with the world: For

They are az bread as The Tn.

that those principals were left,
and men walked in by and for
b!den paths. And had almost
been forgotten, when Christ
came from heaven leaving his
fathers bosom, and died on the
cross to give the fellowship to
Oddfellows that they might be
more perfect in all their ways,
ard gave Paul as the pattern to
follow, and then after Il lapse of
time again those principals was
lost sight of and trampled under
foot. And then God put it in
} the heart of those five good Bro

dred wears ago, to restore them
, again. And the good work has
prospered. But at the present
there is needed an awakening.
