very little of the mighty void has been
improved or even disturbed by all the

make the whole heart sick and the head
faint to contemplate the almost hopeles

There was a time when the charch
cared for its poor. Ia the time of the

every-thinj: material, we see traces by the
inde'iab'e hand of the Creator, that we
are passing, away. But we have the con-
ltii-D of kni wing that the good we
have done, lives alter us. In the weaty
desert of our pilgrimage, whilst we plod
sorrowfully over its shifting sands, hourly
drcaiiug the terrible summons of death,
the eye is sometimes gladdened by the
sight of the lofty 1'alm-tree in the dis
tattce giving prouii.-e of tbe oasis of rest
to the wearied body, water to the thirsty
lips.
' Though this institution is but of recent
dute, and indeed only in its infancy, by
and through its influence much good Las

not either your motives or your deeds.
We can only promise our countenance
aud aid, the approval of vour own con-
science, the blessing of those you have
succored, and the reward of our Great
Parent. The charitable are indeed "im
itators of God as dear children." The
relieved are monuments of their goodness
and their own soult are filled by the all
good, with a joy which the selfish or cruel
never kaowed. Respected by all, and be
loved by the poor. The home of the
chartable is the abode of peace and con

and ths fatherless, and him that bad none
to help him. The blessing of him that
was ready to perish, came von me and I
caused the widows heart to leap for joy."

When the small stream first issues into
tbe light of history, it is very humble
afso. The Nile, though known ever since
the days of Joseph, has not yet h&d its
sources discovered by ' Europeans. And
the origin even of Odd-fellowship as an
institution, is involved in obscurity.
The earliest mode to establish Lodge
in the United States, was by self institu
tion. The feeble gleaming spark obscur
ed by surrounding asl.es, and momently
threatened with extinctioq, far the want
of proper, element-, on which. to foed, it!
fire, has increased to a glowing generous
flame. That band ol brothers" only
five ia number, not yet half a centarj
ago, ha grown into a mighty army.
It has .mightily grappled With forlorn
destitution and suffering and driven back
the waves of vice and selfishness every
where, and has moulded into a kindred
likeness of benevolence not a few ' insti
tutions nearly as powerful for good as
itself.
Surely when we view the difficulties
that beset Oddfellowship everwhere, the
humble lives and scanty means of its
early members, and then look at its put
progress and present condition, we may
be encouraged in this our present eflortj
We may be but a centre of light and its
genial rajs may be the cause of huodreda
of similar iiis'itutions springing to light.
AI! good affections must begin in the
centre" ; but the defect in ge leral is, that
they do uot travel extensively. These
i:.her affections are not inconsistent with
the outer, not oppo-ed to the uni-re-ree!.
The love of maukind, and the citizen
ship 'f the world, coexists with the meet
ardent .Section for family and fatherland.
We should remember, then, that man
kind is oar family, the earth, oar country
& th j race our nati 10 also. Yei we should
even go fufther. As all of every grade
station and clime are oue with as ia na

the saci ifice of all personal considerations
and motives whatever- We that fill up

Let us then cherish, for the present,
preserve and perpetuate to the future, so
inestimable a blessing, sud hand down to
future generations untarnished an institu
tion having for its great object the emu

improvement of our race.
