North Carolina fur very nearlv a mi.nr.
er of a century, is restive and'ehafing
on the bit," under the nrr-sent rami:.
ion of affairs. This need not surprise
any one who will give the matter a
bought. Re had ust a few weeks ago,
onlinued growth and prosperity of the
Order was much better than they had
been for several years. The general ap
athy was fast being overcome and new
life and prosperity was fast taking Its
place. But now the political excitement
seems to have scattered all his bright
hopes to the four winds of the earth.
Is It to be wondered at that he is
restive?
An item reaches us from Clayton
Lodge that certainly is worth record
ing. Not long since a young man from
a distance accepted a situation In Clay
ton and was doing well. He was taken
sick and was very ill, but being a
stranger had very little attention. A
incmb;r of Clayton Lodge found it out
and called the attention of the Lodge
to it. They immediately went to his
aid, and nursed him hack to health, or
near enough to be sent to his home. He
was not a member of any society, but
he was human and Odd Fellowship
found him. The members oi Clayton
Lodge have learned well the sublime
lessons of humanity as taught by the
Order, and are putting these lessons
into practice. It is easy now to tell
uliow as "neighbor' to the suffering
young man. All hail to Clayton's Odd
Fellowship; may it inspire others to
"go and do thou likewise."
In reading an address delivered by
Rev. B. H. Hart, of Jersey Shore, who
was one of the speakers at the seventy
fifth anniversary or the Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania, we were forcibly
struck with some of his reasons for
being an Odd Fellow. His subject was
"Why I am an Odd Fellow." He starts
out by saying, "to give you an my rea
sons for being an Odd Fellow would be
impossible. I therefore reduce the
whole to three simple statements:
First. Because I believe in the fath
erhood of God and the brotherhood of
man. He fully elaborates this idea and
then gives the second reason. "I am
an Odd Fellow because I want to do
everything within my power to lead
men to a better life." He uses some
beautiful language under this head in
describing the good the Order is doing
in leadlns men to a better life and
says: "After an experience of ten years
In Odd Fellowship, and twelve years In
me uospei ministry. I want to assert
that I have reached men In my associa
tions in tne L,odge, and brought them
to an understanding of their relations
to God, and who are today active
workers In the Christian church, whom
I never could have reached In any oth
er wav." His third reason was: "I
belive in Odd Fellowship because it af
fords me the best opportunity for the
mutual and unselfish assistance of the
unfortunate."
Among other burning words he said:
"But !n connection with the last
named reason I have one eternal, unan
swerable reason for my Interest in the
work of an Odd Fellow's Lodge. May
my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth should I ever find it in my
heart to speak 111 of her. Twenty-seven
years ago I walked up to see my father
die. He had been sick along while.
I can never forget the tenderness, the
love, and concern manifested by hla.
brother Odd Fellows in performing the
last saa unctions of their office. I
was but a little boy of seven years, but
I can see them now as they stood by
the side of his open grave. I can hear
the words they read from the ritual.
I still hear the ode they sang all
meaningless to me then, but now with
a world of revelation." And gives a
full description of their kindly offices
to his widowed mother with six or
phan children. He found an asylum In
an Odd Fellow's orphan home.
