 L.O.O.F. SERMON
Christian Church Pastor Delivers Splendid Memor- ial Day Address to Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Tempe

The annual memorial service of the local Odd Fellows lodge was had yes terday morning in the Christian church, when the pastor, Rev. J. R. Rountree, preached a strong sermon on the priv ileges and obligations of the brother hood The church was artistically dec orated with the colors of the order and a large congregation was present in addition to the members of the Odd Eel lows and Rebekah lodges. A splendid program of sacred music, including a duet by Miss Jean Quinn and Miss Ger trude Benson. and solos by Miss Evelyn Kettle and Miss Myrtle Rice, preceded the sermon.
 Taking as his text I Sam. 21: Az The Lord be between me and thee and be- tween my seed and thy seed forever the preacher showed through the dis cussion of the friendship of Jonathan and David those underlying principles which apply to all fraternal relations | in life and must exist if there is to be either sincerity or permanency in the relations.
 Tt was not the fact that David and Jonathan pledged their faith to each other that made them good and faith full friends. It was rather the fact that each was a good. true man at heart and that deep-rooted in the soul of each there was strong appreciation of the character of the other and a desire to advance the others welfare.
 Tt is not the fact that you have beer initiated and become a member of the odd Fellows lodge by taking certain obligations and complying with cer. ltain ritualistic ceremonies that makei you a good brother to other Odd Eel lows; but it is integrity of your persona
 character that impels you to seek tn
 associations of good men and true, a! !, found in the lodge, and the desire o1 your part to share with them the priv
 ilege of living to do something t
 brighten the lives of others.
 If you have carried with you to tn
 altar of Odd Fellowship a selfish pur
 pose and determination to advanc
 thereby your own interests, wish t
 better your own social position or in
 crease your business influence, yo
 have not carried the right kind of char
 acter into the order and are capable c neither giving a true and undyin
 friendship, nor of appreciating tn
 beauties of the order.
 For more than 100 years your orde
 has stood for those cardinal principle
 that tend to develop character I fin :, that you have always stood for tru friendship and stronger and more cor dial social relationships. You have
 right to feel proud of your order. It Ina grown with rapdity in numbers an in usefulness that bespeak the integrit and permanency of it's teaching Standing always for the best it has a
 unsullied history and few have con . within it's power who have not bee |. bettered and ennobled by the contact The speaker closed with strong al U peal to all Odd Fellows to emulate u
 spirit of Jonathan and David in givin
 of themselves to their friendships
 life and urged upon them the practit Il of the tenets of Odd Fellowship

OFFICER URGES ACTION

The following article is intended to answer some few of the many excuses put up by young men who are ap- preached by recruiting officers. and also constitutes an appeal to those parents who are holding their sons back from their country's service. It IS from the pen of Capt LeBarron recruiting officer of Mesa and sets forth the ideal patriotism which should characterize the youth of Ari- zona just at this time.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

No finer tribute to the country
newspaper has ever been paid than
the following. 1t was written by
William Allen White. editor of the
Emporia (Kan.) Gazette, for Har-
per's Magazine. Mr.. Whites words
in part, are:
But the beauty and the Joy of our
papers and their little worlds is that
we who live in the country towns
know our own heroes. Who knows
Murphy in New York? Only a few.
Yet in Emporia we all know Tom
O'Connor-and love him. WhO
knows Morgan in New York? Ono
imam in a hundred thousand. Yet in
Emporia who does not know George
Newman, our banker and merchant
prince? Boston people pick up their
morning papers and read with shud-
dering horror of the crimes of their
daily villain, yet read without that
fine thrill that we have when we
hear that AL Ludorph is in Jail again
in Emporia. For we all know AL.
We've ridden in his hack a score of
times. And we take up our paper
with the story of his frailties as
readers who begin the narrative of
an old friends adventures.
Our papers, our little country pa
ipers seem drab and miserably prov
incial to strangers. yet we who read
them read in their lines the sweet,
intimate story of life. And all these
touches of nature makes us won
drous kind 1t is the country nevis
paper, bringing together daily the
threads of thetown's life, weaving
them into something rich and
strange and scetting the pattern as
it weaves. directing the loom and
giving the cloth its coIor by mixing
the lives of all people in its color pot
1t is the country newspaper that
reveals us to ourselves. that keeps
our country minds open, and our
country faith strong.
When the girl at the glove coun-
ter marfies the boy in the wholesale
house the news of their wedding is
good for forty line wedding notice.
and the forty lines in the country
paper give them self respect. When
in due course we know that their
baby is a twelve FOUNDER. named
Grover or Theodore or Woodrow,
we have that neighborly feeling that
breeds the real democracy. When
we read of death in that home we
