, the past shall not pollute our century;
shall not cause our children to blush
for the acts of their fathers, as ours
burnt and Redeemed as we read in his
tory what was DONE all over the earth,
in the name of the religion OF Him
who declared that His spiritual king
dom was founded upon Gods love, to
the ancestors of these people against
whom some are now doing their best
to revive that ancient lust of malice
and cruelty. And it's right here we
are glad we belong to an order that
begins and continues its work of bring
ing about better and more humane
conditions thru the active principles
of. Friendship. Love and Truth. Its
Z body of men and women that must
always stand as n stone wall against
all inhuman acts.
To it. In Il real sense, there is no
Jew or Gentle. 1t fixes its eye on the
man, on the woman, and does not
bother itself about places of birth or
the accidents of religious beliefs. 1t
realizes that IL lion should be born
in stable. it would still be a lion.
In Odd Fellowship there is no barrier
erected against the Jew. Every office
in it is open to him. and in many
cases he is numbered with its best
examples and its most successful work
crs. Taken in the general, they make
fine Odd Fellows true-hearted broth
ers, even as in ali nations they have
made good. loyal citizens. As for Mr..
Ford. we hope he doesn't claim to be an
Odd Fellow, for. personally, we do not
recognize in him man whose mind
has been liberalized by mental contact
with the great thought masters of the
, world. In fact. changing from the
plural into the singular. / look upon
him as man mentally narrow enough
to afford good working material for
some hnlf-educated bigot or supersti-
tious religious cult 1--WE, hope this opin-
ION wont hay MS liable. tn a damage
suit for money is the one thing
am short on). But, getting back to
first principles how cheering 1t il to
realize that in this land Of ours we
have three million and more men and
women who are daily teaching. in their
lodges and in their everyday lives. the
doctrine of doing good to all men, to
bless. and curse not.
Reminding themselves that all ma
tions are of one blood. and that 10y
ing God is over all. That their hands
are not to he the hands of Nero.
That they are not to fiddle while the
homes of others burn. and which are
ready to use the knife instead of the
,eaceful blessing; or to offer stones
instead Of bread: or the gall of bitter
ness instead of the wine of goodwill
and helpfulness. They like the proph-
cts of old. preach justice and fair play
to all. and like the apostles, they greet
all men with Peace be unto you"
And so this organ salutes our Jew
ish brethren. our follow citizens. with
its hest wishes, and prays that He
who has watched over them as peO-
pie In their hours of darkness and light
may still continue to guide them safe
ly over the troubled waters and bring
them to the time in which they may
daily dwell in peace and safety. and
in which there will be no room for
the malicious and disturbing bigot.
whether he be a political or religious
Bigot."
