day With Fine Program.

The Rebekah Anniversary was OBJ
served in DEBORAH, Wednesday,
Sept. goth, with a program suitable
for all present. Mrs. B. o. Marsh
opened the exercises with a plano
solo, followed by remarks and sever
al musical numbers.
A picnic supper was served by the
members of Oneota Rebekah Lodge
No. IFS.
Usona Rebekah Lodge No. ass was
well represented. In all about IS
sat down at mete. The speaker of
the evening was detained by previous
engagement, nevertheless the social
and fraternal ties were strengthened
and the spirit of friendship, love and
truth prevailed.
AS early as 1916 few Odd Eel
lows decided that Fraternity meant
charity for one another and a dispo-
sition to help each other and the first
steps were taken to bring women in
to closer relation to odd Fellow
ship"
In 1851 through the earnest en-
deaver of Schuyler ColfaX, Ladies
Degree was organized, known as
Daughters of Rebekah" and in
1868 the Daughters" were allowed
to form lodges. The twenty-eighth
annual report of the Rebekah assem-
bly, of Iowa reports 1913 lodges and
1874 members. We can hardly
conceive the leaps and bounds of Odd
Fellowship.
Acts of charity, sympathy and
kindness are as bread cast upon the
waters and returneth to us again"
We do not oppose the church, but
try to help it, and to obey the Golden
Rule, and assist the distressed. With
this object in view we are grown to
be one of the largest and strongest
orders of today.
Long live Rebekah.
