It may be proper, bclore leaving thissubjeet.to observe that since 1845 many agencies have com bined to accelerate the prosperous career of the Order; among the moßt striking of these instru mentalities has been the splendid administration of the Grand Lodge of the United States. This body, by reason of its thorough reconstruction in 1843. and by the great fruits which that recon struction immediately produced, had endeared itself to the Brotherhood in every jurisdiction, and the fraternal rivalry and emulation in the State Grand Bodies for the office of Grand Repre sentative was an earnest of the high appreciation with which that distinction was regarded. Super added to which tho new material that now crowded the lodgc-roomß, soon assembled upon the floor qf the Grand Lodge of the United States Representatives whose private worth,intellectual endowments, high order of education, par liamentary'and professional skill, and omlnont rank in society, compared favorably in every es sential respect with any deliberative assemblage of tho country. Nobly did the Supreme Body respond to the generons confidence reposed in ft; well and wlßely did it act its responsible port as the common parent, as a faithful sentinel, as a progressiveyet discreet legislator, as a true representative of a general welfare. Its example was approved and appreciated by its subordinate jurisdictions, which, In their respective sphoros, Imitated and incorporated it Into their adminis tration, |and,snperadding valuable and auxiliary improvements, contributed largely to the general-developement. Thus was diffused a sympathetic enlightenment, effectiveness, and harmony In all the departments of the Order, so that the healthful life of the heart imparted a corresponding vigor throughout the system. Its special care has always been directed to the general, prbßpeWty,by. conforming its legislation to tho ex perience and wisdom and necessities of an en lightened and devoted constituency, and by the prompt recognition of this element os the main pillar upon 'which tho superstructure securely reposed. In whatever quarter, however remote from Its metropolitan ecat, its presence might Eoryo to encourage ond strengthen the drooping spirit of the Brotherhood, wherever apathy or decline in any form had set in, with a devotion ever characteristic it moved to the place of need, and, by its just eluim to public confidence, fits always reaped a harvest, worthy as well ot the cause as of tho noble effort in its behalf.

The Order in that State bad become So feeble that the Most Worthy Grand Blre, in 1843, in reporting upon its then Improving con dition,speake oflt as ‘' having waited up from a sound sleep of death of upwards of ten years." Such was tho character of the resurrection that its influence spread throughout all New England; and in 1845 there assembled in the city of Bos ton, to commemorate the anniversary of this mar vellous revival, ■ twenty thousand Odd Fellows, whose Bplcndid appearance in tho line of pro cession at once took the populace by surprise, and awakened in tho Brotherhood Itself a con sciousness of interest, power, and strength of which they had previously formed no adequate idea. From comparative death, tho Order in the Slate bad increased to severity-eight Lodges, and to a membership of over eight thousand, rank ing the jurisdiction at that time as No. 2 in the general federation. This grand result was also the work of tho Supremo Body, through ils energetic official head. Btfore I pass from Ihlß just but wholly imper fect tribute to the great master-spirit of Odd Fel lowship,upon which the mantle of the illustrious Wildey bad so well fallen, let mo refer for a mo ment ro the manner in which it has so fully and honorably acquitted lteclf in appreciation of his eminent services to the Order—an appreciation which it testified no less substantially during his. life than alter his death. Yon all remember its proceedings upon the first moment of its assem blage after hiß death; you heard its voice ot sin cere sorrow, its expressions of profound grief,Us plans for the appropriate commemoration of his Hie and character as a great pnblic benefactor. This voice did not fail to awaken a chord of re sponsive sympathy throughout the whole Order, and when, in tho lapse of time, the day had ar rived for the unveiling at Baltimore of the Btatue of Charily, which surmounted the splendid col umn there erected to his memory by your pious gratitude,among the thousands and tens of thou sands of assembled spectators, who that was piesent will ever forget the influence which the scene awakened in ail who beheld Us grandeur? The civil war had ended; desolation and death had passed from their havoc; onr brethren had been separalcd for years, and in the South Old Fellowship had everywhere declined. In the North, East and West its active life was inter rupted, and although its resources, material as well as moral, were heavily taxed, it nobly met the crisis. 'At length tho storm ceased; the ordeal passed: blessed peace descended from its halcyon heights with auspicious promise; our Brother hood * reassembled In council from every State and Territory of an undivided country; reunited, they - now mingled in fraternal communion around the common altar, and clasped hands at the foot of the majestic memorial column. Bow sublime ! how emotional! how hallowed by every tender and sympathetic impulse of humanity was such an occasion, its pregnant in cidents aEd suggestive idea; how apt the time and circumstances for their effective application; how Iveaullful was the Illustration of the noble principles of Odd Fellowship; what golden opinions did Its lesson weave for the Order in every quarter of the land, and how earnestly was ils example commended by the press, from the pulpit, from the lorum, and by the benevolent and humane of all classes of the people. Who shall measure the Influence of that act In the great drama of Odd Fellowship? . This reflec tion and its associations is a subject more suita ble for the pencil than for the pen, and there ex ists but few, if any, historic reminiscences, how ever sublime, which can supply to the gcnlns of the arust a more beautiful and thrilling subject, or a more apt and eloquent moral. Twenty Grand Sires have occupied the chair of the K. W. G. Lodge of the United States,and have guided its administration by their wisdom, their energy and perfectly disinterested labors. Of what has been said of the high claim which that distinguished body has earned to our gratitude (or Its large contribution to the general prosper ity, much is doe to its presiding officers, each of w hom has acted nobly In his part; each reached ihe exalted position only in virtno of long, faith lul and meritorious service; eaeh has consecrated h!s work by a record which wIU live in the heart ot his brethren, hallowed by the viviff~Eud re freshing associations of the past, whilst virtue and humanity survive. 01 tbese.eight have been called (rom the scenes of eartbifour- full of years and honors; two!

It has, after quite a sevire ordeal, reached a success which justifies the belief that, in the future, it will receives reasonable equivalent for its sacrifices heretofore incurred in the defence and proper representa tion of our principles. Its importance to our welfare language is inadequate to describe, since as a vehicle of knowledge, as a lever of moral and material agency, and as a great public utility, it is without a parallel among the multiplied creations of the genius of man. The character of the institution, and its cardi nal principles, have been so often and so elo quently promulged ou occasions like the present, and through its press, now diffused in overy di rection, that I shall not pause to-day to discuss them. , " Friendship , /.one, Truth ; the Brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God over alt," are we golden words which succinctly describe the whole scope of Odd FeUowehip, its alpha and omega; its first, last, and entire compass. Ils plan of benefaction addresses Itself as well to the physical as to the moral nature, and, reaching out from its immediate subjects, permeates by natural affinity every sphere in which active sym pathy may be invoked. Its mission and Us re sults are not only actlvo and substantial, but often so effective, by its consequential or indi rect Influence, as to penetrate entire com munities. In this connection, I would impress upon my brethren the important truth that Odd Fellowship it not a religious society. Let no mis take he made upon a subject so momentious and grave as this, involving, as it does, the Highest in terests of the soul. Our labors concern this world; the relations of man to man in It; the education and training of the heart to practical beneficonce. Whilst we regard our own schome with special favor, and well adapted to the end, we are not arrayed against other and noble formß of effort in the same direction, nor is our work and its fruits vaunted before the public gaze; yet the footprint of Odd Fellowship haß so indelibly marked its path during filty years that its god like virtue can no more be obscured than may truth itself bo stricken from the moral firmament. In 1819 a single Lodge existed on tbiß Continent, established, as we have seen, by humble inon, without influence, and under the most Inauspicious circumstances; moving forward from this standpoint, in a half century the Order has enrolled under its broad banner an army of six hundred thousand of tho true men of the Republic—God’s noblest handi work—tho stalwart men, tho men of tho brawny arm, and of the stout and heroic nerve; the men of toll and of giniuß, of commerce dud of trade, ol the protesßions, and of every conceivable call ing and industry. To the single Lodge of five members,.it has added three thousand two hun dred; to the five members, it has added more than half a million.

For the accomplish ment of Its high purpose it has been armed as well with material as. with moral power, and, blending the two in perfect accord.it has dis pensed for tbo relief of the pick, the burial of tho cead, and the education of tho orphan nearly twelve millions, whilst its aggregate revenue in forty years has exceeded thirty-one millions of dollars. This relief has been, like the gentle dews of heaven, diffused over a laree surface, and has gladdened tho heart of fifty-seven thou sand five hundred widowed families, and brought to the homes and hearths of five hundred thou sand brothei s aid and comfort. Who shall attempt to estimate the influence and value of such a ministration ? And wbat, my brethren of Pennsylvania, has been your contribution to tho general pros pctlly—your offering upon the common altar? Vust ns wo have Been the acquisitions of the Federal Jurisdiction lo be, large as its increaeo of numbers and resources, and Immense na the field in which Its humanity haa been axerted, yet whm its relative position and extent and that of your single State ia considered, your achieve ment in the same field Is comparatively tho greater. In looking back upon the past tho eve rests upon your Initial point at tho year 1823, when Pennsylvania Lodge, No. 1, which bad previously been organized by self-institution, was formally chartered and received Into the Order. Since this period Odd Fellowship within your jurisdiction has had a career as marvel ous and grand as has been tbe colossal tread of the Btatc in tbe path of Dations. From a single Lodge, with a handful of members, you now count nearly six hundred Lodges, with an aggregate membership of seventy thou sand; fiom a single city, you have diflusco our benign principles over your whole Slate, erecting lls altars in every considerable town and village, so that wherever Religion and Civilization huve built the church and the school house you also have placed alongside and in companionship an Odd Fellows’ Lodge. 'And these- Lodges, "ibus established, and their seventy thousand members, what have been their fruits? During the half century, whose close we today celebrate, they have sedulously tolled and have carried to desolate hearths aDd widowed homes cot alone the consolations of moral support, but the material aliment of life. Since 1812 seventeen thousand widowed families and one buLdrtd and forty-three thousand sick brethren have been relieved, for which object over throe millions of dollare have been applied, and during, tbe single year just passed vou hove raised more than a half million, all of which has been disbursed for the relief of the sick, of the widow, and tbe orphan, or has been providently invested for future application to these objects. Your aggregate accumulations since 1837 exceed six millions of dollars. Wbat an offering tbls upon the altar of Humanity? Could all the participants in its ministrations lay their testimonials at tbe foot of this altar, what a pyramid of glory would lift its hallowed head to ibe throce of God; yet this column, pure and sublime, would but symbolize the reality, would but feebly portray tbe tears of sorrow which have been assuaged, or describe the ecstatic Joy which leaped from thousands of fretted hearts in the hour of deliverance. Not less valuable has been the contribution of Pennsylvania to the renown and high position of the Supreme Grand Body. A loDg line of the most cmiD6nt of jour brethren have year after year mingled os Grand Representatives in the do liberations of that general council, who have placed the Impress of their wisdom upon its le gislation, and have adorned its literature and matured its judgments by their genius and learn ing; in high appreciation of which four of your distinguished sons have been during the last thirty jears ended to its highest executive chair, each of whom hos left to us acher shed heritage tee example of his great administrative ability and the rich Irults ol his unwearied labor. My brethren ot Pennsylvania, your record shines in our annals like a precious brilliant, and renders your fame as imperishable as the eternal principles ol onr Order. Already has your Com monwealth, by universal consent, been recog nized ss “The Keyßtone of tbe Federal Arch;” to this proud title you justly add the prestige ol • The Empire State in Odd Fellowship." The paeeant of to-day covers you with honor; its tubhme display, its memories of the post, Us as sociations of the present, and its angary of the future, utter a voice more comprehensive than volumes could elaborate, more instructive than philosophy with the genins of art combined could portray, more potential and Irresistible lltan the inspiration of faith, because faith hath bttD dissolved into fiuitiOD; tho ideal has culminated into the real, and truth itself, embo died and personified, crowns the scene. Among the many beautiful incidents which illustrate your Iraternal courtesy and discernment, in the pro i gramme for the day, is especially commanding ! ihc spectacle within this magnificent temple, and | which in interest and sublimity defies description. I red yet how vacant and lileless, and wanling.bnt : lur the presence of onr mothers, our wives, our fitters, onr daughlers, and, last of al!,thonga not I h net. of unr sweethearts.

There is no litrht without Its shadow, no sunshine that in the midst of li6 gorgeous beauty and grandeur is not i ften obscured by the passing cloud. Thus, amid thi re pleasant scenes and thrilling memories, we look around in vain for the many fellow laborers and companions of our youth who storied oat with us long time ago upon this great and good work; the willing tear suffuses the eye and courses down the manly cheek, and the full heait swells with emotion and earnest sorrow as we miss their accustomed presence. They have fallen in the midst of labor, and have been gathered home,yet their works survive. But two remain of Washington Lodge, No. I,* and tint one of Pennsylvania Lodge No. I,t although Ihe Lodges themselves preserve all the vigor aud energy of youth,and honor our festival with their presence to-day. In no part of our wide-spread field has death reaned a richer harvest than iu this jurisdiction. " The names of Hopkins aDd Kneats and Curtis, and the hallowed memories Which cluster around them are out balmed in the innermost heart of the Brotherhood, and whils: Penn sylvania mourns, a responsive grief mingles in unison with its sorrow in every lodge-room, and s t every altar of our Order throughout the world.' Whilst we bow to the Inscrutable wisdom which orders ond governs, wo lift our hearts gratefully to the Throne, and rejoice that though "God thus smites, He doth not destroy." These emin ent and beloved brethren have followed in the footsteps of our fathers, aud we too will soon join them where Humanity weeps no more, where tiidltss day and joy and uninterrupted bliss re vtiurd tbe just.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, al though but fifty years old this day, Is one of the most popular and flourishing organizations ever conceived. No order or association has yet been originated by man, in this or any otbor age or country, that has, in so short a period of time, attained such strength in numbers or power, in usefulness or benevolence, as this. Odd Fellow ship was founded in England during the latter part of the last century; but this country experi enced none of its blessings or benefits until the 2tßn of April, ISI9, when Thomas Wildey, an Englishman, then a resident of Baltimore, organ ized the first Lodge In the Monumental City, li wugflttinglv : v cdlicd "Washington Lodge, No. 1." Sir members of foreign Lodges wore present. From this time but little progress was made In the Order, until the organization of “Pennsylva nia Lodge, No. 1,” in Philadelphia, on December Vt.ll). 1821. On June 27th, 1825, the Grand Lodge of Ptnnsylvnnia was organized, \yith Aaron Nichols (is Grand Master, and hold its first ses sion February,,lB24,, ut which lime Pennsylvania : Lodge, No. 1 1. was chartered. The Gtand Lodgo of the United States was or ganized in Baltimore, on tho 15th of January, 1h25, and was composed of the only Grand Lodge then existing—in the Stales of Maryland, Penn sylvania, New York, and Massachusetts. Thos. j Wildey was unanimously elected Most Worthy i GrnndiSire, although that title whs not conferred 1 ‘was created July Bth, 1827, in Baltimore; and “ the first Eucampment organized in Pennsylvania; dates from August 13th, 1829, as “Philadelphia Encampment, No. 1.” To many, Odd Fellowship Vs a strange mystery tmt it should not be. since the Order has. been’ pfodnctive of soch vast amounts of good.Asthe injnnctlpn which,terms tha : motto; on the pcalpf \tlfe Grand Lodge of the United States—“We com mand you to visit the sick, relieve the 'distressed, 1 burylbedead, and educate the orphan?—leads the uninitiated to learn of some of the sacred par-, notice of It, the fact of an open Bible, in every Lodge commnnicatca a thrill ef brotherhood tbrouubomthe race, and establishes the religion of our Fathers among all mankind. That' the 'great, grand and hnmane objects of the Order are' understood, however, and appreciated, la well at tested by the Semi-Centennial Celebration and the prestnee of the many thousand strangers in Philadelphia to-day. Daring the half-eentnry jest closed, 608,327 members were initiated, and <320.153 529 were ex pended by the Odd Fellows of the United States in the relief of the sick, in assisting widows and orphans, in burying the dead, and in educating the orphan. This may seem enormons, bat it is nevertheless true. The number of members re lieved from this fund was 684,189, in addition to 55,188 widowed families. On the 30th of June, 1868, thero wore 3,195 Grand and subordinate Lodges in the United States, and 245,086 members. Of this large nnm ber, Pennsylvania had 526 Lodges, and 66,235 members, or more than- doable (be membership of any other Stale. The initiations for the year ending June 30tb, 1868, were 40,080; brothers re lieved, 21,344, and widowed families relieved, 3,911. The total amount paid for relief daring the eame period was $BBl,llB 26; of which Penn sylvania contributed $207,115 92, or nearly one fonrlb of tbo whole sum. Too number of Grand and Subordinate Encampments was 795, with 43.478 members. The total amount paid for re lief was $70,437 95, of which Pennsylvania con tributed $26,438 01; making the entire relief granted by the Lodges and Encampments of the United States for the year ending Jane 30th, 1868, $951,556 21. | For account of the Procession, see Eighth Page, j ’ SiRAND AND IMPOBING REGALIA AND DRESS BALL, la honor and commemoration of the GRAND RATIONAL CELEBRA'UON OF THK SEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF ODL FELLOWSHIP, to be given under the direct Bupervision of the _ ._ „ GRAND LODGE AND GRAND ENCAMPMENT OP PENNSYb VANIA* ON MONDAY EVENING, April 26. 1869, AT THK PHILADELPHIA SKATING PJNK, TWENTY-FlRht AND RACE STREETS.
