These tilings are malters of taste they ate not forbidden by any law of God or
man, and in matters not prohibited and pleasing la our taste, we are as yet thank
heaven free to acf? as we please.
Our exclusivcness is another great crime in the eyes of some people. We are
too particular say they in selecting our members. I wish this objection were
u no, but I really fear it is without much foundation. Most lodges are not par
ticular enough, and accept members very often, who, if they do not disgrace the
crder never add much to its true respectability or usefulness. .
But suppose it were true. Suppose as is the case, any two members have it
in their power to reject an applicant for membership. Have any a right to cen
sure us for this. To most men of good sense this answer might be satisfactory.
"We do so, just because we please to do so. When men form a fire company
or any similar association, they meet together and-form just exactly such laws
for their government as they please. Now if their laws are necessary to effect
the intentiog of the association and that intention is good, and if they are not pro
hibited either by the laws of God or the civil government, then no matter how
absurd or unjust they may appear to others, they are right, because they are ne
cessary and not forbidden. Now this is precisely our case. This rule which
some term harsh and exclusive is right and just for an excellent reason. Foi
when it is remembered that the association is to a certain extent, the insurer of
the life and health of each and every one of its members; that the manners and
morals of the individual members, are the property of the lodge, that each and
every member has the character and standing of the order in his keeping, with
power to elevate or depress it, you will at once see the reason, why our doors
are not thrown open to all who seek for admission. Are we singular in this re
spect ? What society, congregation, company or sect, admits without examina
tion and election, and when was a worthy applicant turned away from the doors
of a lodge. But then we exclude the ladies. This is another of our crying sins.
This it is that perhaps more than all other things put together, has turned the
current of popular opinion against us. That woman, gentle, loving, meek, angel
ic woman; our good old moihers, our dear kind sisters and cousins, our sweet
hearts and our sweet wives. That they should be excluded from any thing
good, is what they never, never will understand. And then, too, that same in
herent principle or impulse that induced our great grandmoiher Eve to try how
the forbidden fruit tasted, being still at work, how their little hearts do burn to
know, what is always going on in the lodge what the brethren say, and what
they sing in there how the grip is given and how the password sounds what
the pedestals, and gavils, and mottoes, and jewels, and all kind of things signi
fies. All this, and a thousand other things they burn to know, and feel in duty
bound to raise their unanimous voices against an institution that is so very, very
unreasonable.
Now 1 am free to confess that their case is a hatd one and their indignation
very just, and if it lay within me to alter the matter, and thus avert their indig
nation, I would most assuredly do it. For I make no doubt at all but that a
lodge of lady "Odd Fellows" (if you will pardon the hibernicism,,) would be as
benevolent, as active, and as faithful as any composed of the "lords of creation."
They would not be as orderly perhaps, but then how superb and tasteful would
be their regalia. They would not hold their meetings as quietly perhaps, but
then how kindly would they receive the strange brethren of other lodges that
might chance to visit them. How affectionately would theyive us the grip
how lovingly whisper the password. All this 'tis a pity to loose, but it cannot
now be helped the order was not designed for them. In the language of the elo
quent Marlit, "the order was intended to elevate man to heaven, not to bring an
gels down"; and, therefore, women are not found among us.
The secrecy of our meetings is another ereat objection. This has been the
But have they no faults ? Are they free from objections ? Alas, no. They
are no longer sustained by that voluntary support which can alone sanctify a
charitable enterprise. Appropriations by government, supplied tby taxation, are
annually made for the reward of those who minister therein, and often, too often
is the poor patient expected to submit his or her afflicted body to every experi
ment that the speculative, professionally enthusiastic surgeon may, for his own
or the gratification and improvement of others, see proper to exhibit to his won
dering class ; thus making the hospital a sort of appendage to the medical schools
of the3 city its poor inmates furnishing the clinical profession with patients
while living, and the surgeon with subjects lor the dissecting room when dead.
I have named these two, because under one or the other of them mav be classed
all the benevolent institutions of the age, that have for their object the relief of
the poor in sickness or in health.
Compared with these magnificent and ostentatious charities, how must the un
pretending order of Odd Fellows rise in the estimation of any one, who will en
quire into their relative merits. It has, 'tis true, no costly halls, no marble pal
aces, reared by its donation, to receive the objects of its cares temples where
magnificence mocks the abject poverty of their inmates reminding them contin
ually of the princely wealth of their benefactors, and of the vast and impassable
gulf that lies between those who give, and those who receive, relief. It does not
gather together those whose wants are thus supplied, making them a distinct
class, and branding on their brow the name of pauper, which like a plague spot
sticks to them through life, and follows their humble and neglected coffins to the
grave; nor does it, under the garb of medical assistance, desecrate the human
form divine, by using it as a means of advancing the science of medicine, or el
evating the character of their schools and professions. The order of Odd Fel
lows may neither boast nor blush for all or any of these things. Its plan of op
eration is very different. Avoiding with watchful care the two extremes of mag
nificence and misery of ostentatious charity and its galling effects on the recip
ient, it acts upon the truth that poverty is not a crime to be punished, but a mis
fortune to be relieved.
Instead of waiting until the man has become a pauper, and then supporting
him, it teaches him to make an effort to support himself -to provide for such
contingencies, and assists him in that effort. It calls upon him to do, and aids
him in doing that which, though trifling in itself, will entitle him, whenever he
requires it, to ask for and receive, as a right and not as a favor, that which is
sufficient for all his wants. There is no odium attached to the receipt of that
which is his by special contract, a'nd the anti-republican, anti-christian distinc
tions which exist in other benevolent institutions, is here unknown, for we are
all brethren.
But I have detained you long enough, and will hasten to conclude. Time will
not permit, nor have I the right or inclination to detain you long enough to an
swer all the objections which might be urged against us, or lay before you all
our claims to popular approbation. Enough has been said, I trust, to show that
we are not altogether what our enemies say we are ; and let me add as a truth
which cannot be contradicted, that the more you know of the order, the better
will you like us.
Brethren of the order, a word to you ere I close. Reminded as you are by
every sign and symbol around you, of the duty which you owe to society, you
need no reasoning of mine to incite you to complete the noble work which you
have pledged yourselves to begin and carry on through life. In this world, and
in this part of it, you have much to contend with. Bigotry, that has no heart to
feel, or head to reason prejudice, that, like the deaf adder, will not hear the
voice of the charmer, charms he never so wisely, is rife among us, and meets us

at which dale there was no news of
especial interest from Saltillo, from
which si is inferred thai ihe danger of
an attack was not so imminent as sup
