SERMON TO ODD FELLOWS
Delivered bv Kev. M. G. Katkins in
Main Aveuuc Baptist Church,
OBJECTS OP SOCIETY PRAISED
Several Hundred Members of the Order
iu tho North End of the City Listened
to the Able Discourse-Spread
of Odd Fellowship.
The North Main Avenue Baptist
church was well tilled last night, when
Kev. W. U. Watklns preached an excel
lent sermon on "The Worth of Fratern
ity," before the Celestial and Lincoln
lodges of Providence und the Hiram
lodge of Green Rlrige, of the Independ
ent Order of Odd Fellows, who attended
in a body to the number of nearly 2-.".
In his sermon Rev. Mr. Watklns suld:
There still exists In the world an even
amount of selfishness; but us fraternity
or the idea of brotherhood grows and
spreads selfishness la pushed into the
background. Scltlsihnes, by definition,
Is the chief regard for the individual.
It has been called the law of nelf-preser-vation,
not that it purposely antago
nizes the interests of each other, but its
sole concern is with the interests of self.
Fraternity, on the other hand, recog
nizes the claims of others us well us its
own.
As Odd Fellows you are familiar with
the divine statement of the highest de
velopment of the fraternal Interest, as
one of the principal pillars of your
temple Is "Thou sliult love thy neigh
bor as thyself." it is scarcely neces
sary to rejnind you that we have not
yet attained the reign of love, but It
might be to our encouragement to feel
that we are attaining to if and that just
u sure of Hod hus laid down the pos
sibility of ucliievlng it by saying "Thou
Shalt," so surely shall this world be
come broad enough some duy to ac
knowledge the universal brotherhood
of man.
Theory of Survivul of the liest.
There probably was a time when the
fraternal relation of men was unknown
as it was only a generation ago when
Mr. Darwin unnounced that the law
"struggle for life" governed all forms
of life, plants, uulmals and human, und
so litrce and ceaseless was this strug
gle in the early history of the world
that each Individual's energies were
completely taxed for Its own preserva
tion. It is even yet the rule among
some of the savage and lower forms of
life that only the strongest survive.
Not long ago Professor Drummond
otTset this by a law which lie called
"the struggle for the life of others."
In which he shows how, by the uld of
others, a plant which in itself is immov
able, by the birds, winds and waves
has its seed scattered to all parts of the
world and in this co-operation of na
ture we see the first stages of fra
ternity But It Is crude, being that It is
all done unintentionally and uncon
sciously. But if we go a step higher we
see where the idea is carried out farther
by the ant and bee, who each form n
brotherhood or swarm for their mutual
aid and protection. And make for
themselves a temple, heaven ana Home
where they can live and bring their
burdens and rest also where they can
store up food for the winter. Have you
ever noticed how, like man, the bee is
divided Into three- classes, the queens,
the workers, and the drones; our queens
being the arlstocraticy, our workers
th great toiling mass, and the drones
are personated t,y the tramps and idlers
who live on the earnings and good will
of others. But the bee can teach us
much by the prompt and efficient man
ner In which they deal with their drones
klllinir them and throwing tnem
out of the hive rather than locking
them up and feeding them at public ex
pense.
Must Begin with the Family.
Fraternity or brotherhood love must
begin with the family, for the family is
the foundation stone of all govern
ments and conditions of human ad
vancement, and brotherhood Is what
makes an'l holds the family together, lis
from the family grows the community
in a limited sense, and from the com
munity grows the state, and from the
state the nation, all based upon nnd de
rived, from one origin and family and
by the extension of tills process you
can arrive not only at the nation, but
to the whole of the human race. It is
strange that we should ever have lost
sight of the fact that we are all of one
family, und until we recognize It (lod
cannot accomplish his purpose.
The word of Inspiration says In Acts
17, M, that "God hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the earth and hath (I
termincd the limes before appointed
and the bounds of their habitation.
According to the Scripturcal story this
brotherhood of the human race was ac
knowleduecl until the confusion of Ha
bel made strangers of brothers and
scattered the different members of th
family to all parts of the world. Toe
members drifted apart and became
changed, smthat when they next met they
failed to recognize each other. The fiU'
ternal bond which was broken at Babel
Is now waiting for civilization to re
store and for Christianity to sanctify
In the early days each tribe or clan
went by Itself Into some natural fast
ness and counted all other as Its ene
mies, but civilization Is breaking down
all barriers, ami us It is now posslbli
for us to communicate with all parts
of the world as If we were face to face
with the persons and as constantly In
termlngllng with natives of all parts.
We are beginning to recognize the
Scriptural saying "of one blood," and I
believe there are forces at work which
will ultimately bring about the restora
tlon and unification of the human race,
for our Interests are all related to ench
other und are dependent on each other,
and a man left all by himself cun ac
compllBh nothing and each man mur.t
sacrlllce to a certain extent his own In
terests for the welfare of another.
Organization of Odd Fellows.
For the aid of each other and better
ment of self many fraternities, or secret
organizations, have been formed, but
as most of them were founded on wrong
principles they soon failed, as they
should, but among the tried few that re
mained standu the Independent OraVr
of Odd Fellows, which was founded
seventy-six years ago, when, on April
20, Thomas Wliuey, with four com
minions, formed what was called Wash
Ington lodge, No. 1, In Baltimore, and
from this has sprung over 10,000 sub
ordinate lodges and encampments, with
over 700,'tOO members and with the
kindred associations, the Manchester
Unity, the total of Odd Fellows Is over
1.400.000. or over a quarter or a million
morethanany other secret organization
In this world. In the laBt sixty-five
years the revenues of the lodges have
been $130,000,000, and of late they have
snent nearly aoo.ooo in the aid of the
sick and disabled- members, giving
them enough each week to keep tho
wolf from the door, to the defraying of
funeral expenses, the establishment of
homes for the aged and dependent and
to Issue literature for the spread of
"Fellowship, Love and Truth.
When any organization can claim and
actually accomplish such good It truly
can be counted as a benefactor of the
human race, und has answered Cain's
question by saying "Yes. I am my
brother's keeper." A fraternity that
has such a noble record Is certainly
worth keeping, but to keep It demands
eternal vigilance, for there are always
enemies lurking near, some of whom
w 111 loin and then give away the se
crets: some of whom will try to train
ofllces they are unqualified to (111, and
others will prove unfaithful to the
vowa they have taken. To perpetuate
this society we must have social en
thusiasm and not allow a few only
to do the work that must be carried
on. But If we try. by our own help
only, we will never be able to bring
the society ubove human level. By be
coming Christians we not only become
better Odd Fellows, but we are uiso
able to raise the standard high.
The most beautiful of examples of un
selfishness und fraternal love Is shown
in tho words "1 have not called you
servants, I have culled you friends,
und greuter love hath no man tnun
this, that u man lay down his life for a
friend."

Colonel E. H. Hippie has addressed
the following clrculur to the captains.
The suggestions It contuinB are timely,
and ach enlisted man should co-operate
In carrying out the suggestions us
set forth by this circular:
Headquarters Thirteenth Regiment, Third
brigade, Nutlonul Guard or Pennsyl
vania. Circular No. 1.
The uttentlon of company commanders
Is called to the following suggestions wilh
rogurd to the coming spring Inspection:
General order No. il, udjutunt general's
orders, prescribes:
First That companies will bo paraded In
heavy marching order and ull statu prop
erty must he In readiness fur Inspection.
Second The Inspection will be lu school
of company guard duty, extended order
and setting up exercises.
Third Elllclency of otllcers will be en-
H!clally noted, lnefllcietit olllc.ers will
probably bo rooted out of the service.
Fourth Compunles In unsatisfactory
condition will be speclully reported, with
the object, no doubt, of ridding the ser-
vleu of them, If there cun be no prospect
of improvement.
A clrculur hus been later Issued from tho
Inspector general's office which prescribes
In addition to the ubove us follows:
Returns of state property made by
company commanders In camp will be
verllled at this spring Inspection, and any
shortage or excess noted on the returns.
'Regimental commanders will have pre
pared a roster of the I'ulted Slates num
bers on the rifles ut present In the pos

mand und of those belonging to hcuilquur
ters, und present the sume to thu brigade

quire company communders on each regu
lar drill nlKht to furnish reglnientul ad
jutants with a detailed report of the num
ber of ofllcers und men on the rolls of the

or vouchers must be produced."
The percentage of attendance will figure
largely In the yearly average, and ull
company commanders will give particular
attention to this Important point. If we
desire to mulntuln our present standing
we cannot nfford to neglect anything that
affects our rating; so that you are all
urged to double diligence and renewed
vigilance In keeping thu Thirteenth to the
front. Very truly yours,
Ezra H. Ripple, Colonel.
W. S. Millar, Adjutant.
Death of Captain hollow.
The regiment suffered a great loss by
the death of Captain William Kellow.
Ills place as captain of Company B
cannot readily be filled by a mun who
can bring hlmstlf as closely In touch
with the men as he did. Captain Kel
low's successor lias not been numed,
or even suggested. Adjutant Millar,
will, no doubt, be looked upon as a first
choice, Inasmuch as he is an ex-B
officer, but he has pledged himself to
Colonel Coursen, should he (Coursen)
agree to become successor to Colonel
Hippie.
Directly following the death of our
senior captain caine the announcement
that Colonel Ripple, being hard pressed
for time by business interests, wan com
pelled to ask for his discharge from the
office of colonel of the regiment.
Colonel Ripple's resignation Is not
the resu''. of u hasty Impulse. It was
ugreed th when he was re-elected to
the commui.il that should he ut any
time find that his duties as colonel he
come too burdensome, his resignation
would be accepted without resistance.
We must console our feelings by the
fact, however, that the "Guard" will
not lose him altogether. The position
of Commissary General on Governor
Dusting's staff is one of vast Import
ance, coupled with honor. .Colonel
Ripple, by his perservance, tact and all
generous nature, has endeared himself
to the boys ns few men could have done,
und his Interest In the regiment will
not, we are sure, grow less, by reason
of His retirement.
The Prospective Colonel.
Lieutenant Colonel Coursen Is next In
line of promotion, and he seems to be
the ununlmous choice for this respons
ible position. That he will have the co
operation uf our retiring colonel. If
elected, 'there Is not a doubt. Colonel
Coursen Is amply qualified by a long
term of service, including a record for
service In tho "War of the Rebellion."
His war record shows him to have en
listed Sept. IT.. 186 1, a private In Com
pany I, Seventh regiment, New Jersey,
volunteers; Second lleutenunt, Oct, 3,
1861; First lieutenant. Company A,
Sept. 6, 1SC2; captain Company A,
quarter master, Third Army Corps,
Dec. 10, lSli'.'; H Twenty-third regi
ment, volunteers, March 22, 1863; mus
tered out June C, 18U3. Ills record In the
National Guard Is us follows: Private
Thirteenth regiment, Aug. 14, 1877; cap
tuln, Aug. 14, 1877; re-elected captain,
Jan. 30, 1SS3; major Oct. 10, 1883; lleu
tenunt colonel, Oct 6, 18S8.
For the vacuncy that will be made by
reason of Colonel Coursen'B elevation,
the numes of Major Muttes and Captain
Barnard are brought out. Mujor Mattes
Is In line of promotion, and his claim
for the office is one that will carry, no
doubt. Whether Captain Barnard
really aspires to the office can not bu
truly stated. He Is the senior line,
officer, and nn able military man.

Should he decide to oppose Major
Mattes, there will be a warm contest.
It Is early yet to predict what result
these changes will bring about, but
there will, when the order for an eleo

started by the friends of the ambitious
ones.
New Captain for Compuny II.
Company H, of Providence. Is with
out a captain, also, and this, coupled
with the fact that Company B must
elect another captain, together with
the promotions that will be made neces
sary by reason of the numerous vacan
cies, should bo enough to keep the boys
guessing for some weeks.
The new armory project Is, however
much elae may occur, not being neg
lected. A lurgely attended meeting, of
Held, stuff und llue-olllcers was held in
heudquurters lust Monday night. After
transacting a large volume of business
relative to the coming dramatic event,
It wus agreed to adjourn until Tuesday
night In Colonel Hippie's office, when
further steps were taken toward the
division of lubor attending the move

night, and will meet again this after
noon at 4 o'clock.
