Odd Fellowship is an institution which
desires to lraternize mankind. and there
by improve man’s condition. Believing
that all derive their existence from one
source. it teaches its members to look up
on mankind of every nation. kindredhand
tongue, as brethren. and to via with each
other in doing good to the poor and dis
tressed members of the human family.—
Whilo'it interferes not with tho rluties
men owe to their God. their country. or
their lellow-beings. it at the same time
strives to make them more zealous chris
tians, purer patriots. and better members
of a family. It teaches its members to
look upon the. Divine Ruler of the universe
as the source of all power and goodness.
ltdemands of them to uphold the laws and
support the powers that be. and commands
them to love their neighbors as themselves.
It has been urged against Odd Fellowship
that its members are bound by the most
solemn oaths to aid each other under evcv
ry circumstance—that Odd Fellows must
support their brethren. even though they
should be in the wrong, out.| screen each
other from justice. Such. my friends. is
‘not the case. Odd Fellows are command
ed to aid and counsel one another. W en
in want. we aid--when in distrees. we “re
lieve; and we are ever willing to advise a
brother as to what course he should pur
sue. We will not step forward to aid a
brother who has violated the law. Odd
Fellowship was instituted for no such end.
It desires to see the supremacy of the larva
sustained, and when a brother commits
any heinous crime It punishes hlrn by ex
pulsion or otherwrisc. Yea! Though our
right-eye should offend. we would pitlclt
it out and cast it from us.
Odd Fellowship is in its character ben
eficial and charitable. It wars against,
vice in every form, and strives to ales/ate
the moral character. It provides a com
mon fund to aid its brethren in sickness
and distress. and at the same time exerts
itsell in relieving those who are not of its
own household. But we should not boast.
"The down come down at cventide
To ranch mankind unostsntoclous charity."
To relieve the distressed. to visit the
sick. toymoisten the parched lip and speak
words 0! comfort to the dying—to bury
the dead, provide for the widow anil fath

few of the duties Odd Fellows have under.

the anedmmontans. that at their public

one table. Children were introduced at
these tsblee no so many schools of sobrie

out scurrillity and were not to take it ill

It Napoleon deserves credit from man

Code Napoleon has received more praise
lor its brevity. comprehensiveness & beau

lute. Several European nations have paid
it the deserved compliment ol adopting it
in preference to the complicated aystem
of laws which we derived lrorn the moth
