Rebekah lodges in Indiana are
preparing to celebrate the seventy

lishment of the Rebekah degree
Sept. 20, 1851.
Leon S. Merrill, Orono Maine,
grand sire, has issued a proclama-
ton calling all lodges in the United
States to observe the occasion.
Il recommend all assemblies and
lodges to hold appropriate eXer-
cises in observance of the seventy
seventh anniversary Of the degree"
ne said. "Such exercises should in
clude proper acknowledgment of our
obligation to Almighty God for the
great prosperity enjoyed by Re-
bekah Odd Fellowship during the
more than three-quarters OF CEN
fury of its existence"
State Lodges Participate
All Indiana lodges will hold exer-
cises on the order of Mrs. IRA r.
Lee, assembly president. Mite boxes
will be opened, and the money will
be sent to the State secretary. 1t
will be applied to the $4,000 fund
subscribed to remodel a farmhouse
at the I. o. o. F. home at Green's
bnurg, Ind, for use as a girls dor
mitory.
It is expected that more than ST.
900 will be applied to the fund from
the mite boxes. About $1,7O0 was
given last year, but this year a spe-
cial plea has been made for more
funds for the new dormitory.
In closing the proclamation Of

cate ourselves anew to the principles
of friendship, love and truth and
through unsel1sh service prove our
loyalty to the order we love-"
