Splendid Address of Past Orand
Sire A. S. Pinkerton of Massa
chusetts Before the State
Grand Lodge of North Caro
lina at the Dedication of the
Home of the Order for Their
Aged and Infirm Last Wednes
day in This City.
Through the very efficient sIcdo
grsphic work of Misses M ry Emma
Giddens and Eleanor Munroe, of thi
city, the Argus is able to give to its
readers to-day the sp'endid address
of Past Grand Sire A. S. Pinkerton,
of Mapsachasetts, delivered before
the State Grand Ldge of O Id Fel
lows at the dedication of their home
for the Aged and Infirm of their or
der on the grounds of their hand
some orphanage here last Wednesday
afternoon.
Mr. Pinkerton spoke as follows:
Friends and Brothers: I want In
the first place to acknowledge my in
debtedness to the Jurisdiction of
North Carolina for the privilege of
once more standing in the midst of the
Brotherhood here, taking part in their
exercises. I want also to put myself
in accord with this gathering. In
Hamlet's introduction, you know, he
wanted to know what it was that
clambered so at his coming. I am
not come here for the purpose of de
livering any oration, but to have a
plain, straightforward talk with Odd
Fellows and brothers who are engaged
in the same work of a common coun
try. And as I have listened to the
ceremony and realized that the great
body of this gathering has not been
furnished with cushion bottomed
seats, I remember the circumstances
that met me in my own city a short
time ago, at which the Bishop was
delivering an address. They waited
for him two or three hours while ev
erything got cold, and when he came
he preached two hours from the text,
"Feed my lambs." He then called upon
different members of the Conference
to express their opinions of the text.
After another hour had been passed
discussing that subject, he called upon
a country deacon from way-back in the
woods. He said nothing about spirit
ual lambs, but he knew temporal
lambs wanted their food prompt, hot
and a little at the time. I propose
to adopt that plan here to-day.
Fifteen years ago a gentleman in
your city, not a member of our Order,
gave to the members of the Order of
Odd Fellows in our Jurisdiction ten
acres of land for the site of the Odd
Fellows' Home. In the deed convey
ing that property to our Grand Lodge
are these words, "May God in his in
finite mercy smile upon the institution
thus founded by fraternal love and
grant that the widespread influence
may stimulate and tend to promote
and advance civilization." In that
phrase lies the expression of this Or
der, what it means in the building ot
institutions such as we have met here
to dedicate.
When fifteen years ago our Home
was dedicated, there came to the city
in which I live to lay the corner-stone
of that building, now the home of more
than seventy-five or eighty aged and
helpless men and women, a son ot
Carolina, whose eloquence and grace
ful manner tended to strengthen and
benefit of the Order, and to illuminate
the pages of fraternal history. And so I
deem it no small honor to have the
privilege of standing in this presence
and taking my part in these exercises,
even if my clumsy tongue cannot
clothe my thoughts with the silvered
speech that flowed from your Past
Grand Sire on that occasion.
I take it that Carolina has a most
Wonderful and interesting history
Her sons have borne their part in
military and civic life, and rich have
been the fruits reaped from the tillage
of the soil. But I take it also that the
great, fraternal orders like this have
contributed to the upbuilding of stal
wart America.
When it was my fortune to visit
your Grand Lodge seven or eight
years ago, you were then discussing
your Children's Home, and I remember
.with what commendable spirit and
What hearty response every proposi
tion was met. I was glad to-day and
last evening to look into the happy
tfac.es of the inmates of that home and
realize that childhood has a protecting
arm thrown around it, so that in man
'hood and womanhood they may do the
.same for the children of the Order
which nurtures them now.
And so, in the spring-time of the
iear, amid the budding of the foliage,
re come here to dedicate to fraterni
ty and manhood thi ne Temple of
rotherhood. whnse roof shall be
helter , for the destitute and whose
oors shall always be open, and the
ag a symbol of the Sermon on the
Mount.
When more than eighty years ago
lames' Wildey first spoke the word of
Qdd Fellowship, five men answered
his call. As we stand here to-night,
more than a million acknowledge with
reverence and honor the white flag
of our -faith, and from the lodge rooms
of our. Order go forth many carrying
into the world what they have learned
from fraternities such as this.
Odd Fellowship stands for human
progress, born of the great desire of
man to get together and to help one
another in the great struggle of life
and itVstands for an example of what
man can do for man's salvation if we
are all together working with one im
pulse for-good. Odd Fellowship stands
for high ideals, both in manhood and
In government. It stands lot bring-
ing in the individual man and making
him believe that his individual soul
has in it the keeping of the country
in which he lives. It stands for the
upbuilding of the Christian church; it
stands for the upbuilding of a Chris
tian state, and so it behooves every
man who believes in himself, who be
lieves in his neighbor, and who be
lieves in his land, to encourage such
enterprises as this
Some of you remember, perhaps.
some of you may have had the pleas
ure of listening to the Chinese minis
ter to the United States, probably one
of the most cultured representatives
one of the most learned men who have
come out of the East; and you rem em
ber he went up and down this land
in our great cities, before our col
lege societies and in our social gather
ings, preaching the religion of his
faith, because he said he wanted us to
know what his religion stood for. And
he compared it with our Christian
faith. And when you get through his
eloquence and charm of speech it all
comes to this: "Mohammedanism is
the perfect living faith, because he
was a man, because he lived his life
and set standards to the followers of
his belief, and what man has done
every man can do, and therefore every
follower of Mohammed can become
Aionammea ana can become a per
fect symbol of the faith. But no man
can become a second Christ in his life
and character, so that every follower
of Him is but following an ideal. He
is reaching after something he can not
achieve; he is looking forward to a
mark he cannot reach, no matter
what he may be. There you have not
a practical religion." That is the sum
and substance of the whole contention
That is probably so, so far as it goes
Some of you gentlemen who have liv
ed in the country towns, if your mothers
do as our mothers do in Massachu
setts, along about this time of the
year she plants the morning glory
seed Dy tne Kitcnen porcn, drives a
stick in the ground and ties a string to
the top of that and runs it up to the
eaves of the porch. Then, as you see
the green leaves, buds and tendrils
come out and as the warm winds and
days come and strike them they bud
into flower and stretch out in all di
rections, having something to support
them till they reach the top of the
porch, always growing and always
reaching higher and higher.
I put it to you, my friends, whether
you want to belong to an Order that
climbs to the top and stops or to the
Order in which you strive higher and
higher, even if in your own life you
cannot reach the skies to which you
climb? It is the expression of the
human soul which leads man to a
purer life. - Not by accomplishment,
but by seeking after things ftep by
stpp, we gain the throne not cnly ot
our labors, but of those who are to
foiiow after us.
But. my friends, we are living in a
utilitarian age. We are living in an
age when people believe in practical
things, and in practical men and wom
en. And I want to ask you in this
flush of times when this land is going
forward with leaps and bounds, as you
dedicate this temple of our Order, I
want to ask you what is on the lips of
every American citizen whea he goes
into an enterprise? "Does it pay?"
want to ask if American Odd Fellow
ship pays for the time and energy ex
pended in its behalf? When you put
dollar into a business enterprise,
ou expect more than a dollar to come
back to you in return. When ten,
fifty or a hundred men pool their
money into a great corporation, a mill
or a railroad, they expect trom tne
laying of the rails and from the sing
ing of the spindle something back in
the way of dividends on the invest
ment, and if they do not have it back
you are apt to call it failure.
There is little need, judging from
the few men I have met in Carolina
Odd Fellowship, to say anything
about the story of the Master and the
servant written in the book of Mat
thew, for I suppose you are familiar
with it. But you remember how, when
the Master gave to his servants cer
tain sums, he afterward called them
to account. To one He gave five tal
ents and he invested it and returned
that with five talents more; to one
He gave two talents, and he returned
that with two talents more ; and to one
was given one talent and he, afrai of
losing it, buried it and returned it in
tact but not increased. And the re
suit: those who brought back more
than they had were rewarded and her
aided as rulers over many things, but
he who returned unincreased the one
talent committed to him was con
demned as a slothful and unfaithful
servant. So in this we learn the laws
of trade: that It is the working, striv
ing and fruitful man who lives and
thrives and obtains power in the na
tion. No man ever progressed who
lived upon his grandfather's career, t
and no state ever made a bit of pro-'
gress which stood idly by and saw
other states build up homes, shops
and enterprises.
The practical men who comprise
this Order have clasped hands to solve
the problem of how to make men bet
ter, and you do it by giving your time
and energy to teach men the great
moral precepts that lie at the founda
tion of this Order. (Applause.) i
Has Odd Fellowship paid any divi-.
dends upon the time given to it? Why,
these children at my right and left
have an answer to that question.
Thousands of desolate homes all over
this land are saying you have paid a
great dividend upon the investment
you have made. Let Memphis, fever-
stricken, send up its answer. Let
burning Chicago say if any dividend
has been paid. Johnstown, buried un
der the waters, has an aswer to it, and
to-day San Francisco is sending up
prayers and benedictions because just
such orders as this represent a busy
but generous people. We can count
in figures the material relief this Or
der gives, but who can state the si
lent dividend It has naid? I take it
that no man can enter any lodge room 1
and go away from that lodge room
unless he carries with him some divi
dend of brotherhood; unless he goes
abroad to scatter that good seed to
spring up elsewhere. We cannot al
ways say the sentence spoken to a
particular brother is bearing imme
diate fruit in his life, but it is the con
stant dripping of the water that wears
away the stone. Longfellow sings
somewhere:
"I shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth, I know not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I know not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end
I found again in the heart of a friend.'
And so we do not know, my friends.
how far the words spoken go, but we
do know that we are sowing the seed
of brotherhood and fraternity, and we
know that that seed has "never yet
failed to bring forth abundant fruit
Until about twelve years ago you had
but about two thousand Odd Fellows
in this Jurisdiction; now you have
about twelve thousand. When my
Brother Busbee laid the corner-stone
ot our Home, we had but thirty thou
sand, and to-day we have about fifty
thousand, and nothing has done as
much to build up this Order to be a
great object lesson for good as the
erection of this temple, except the
work done silently in the lodge rooms
of our Order, and in the homes of
such Carolina brotherhood. Is it noth
ing that this Order has won the con
fidence of more than a million Ameri
can citizens, who are not apt to loi
low dreams? Is it nothing that moi

speaking of the influence of the Order
It is said that in one of the corners oi
lower London, that portion of the city
inhabited by the slums of the city, it
may be permitted to use that ex
pression, there hung in the back room
of a shop a most beautiful picture ol
the Savior, which was concealed from
the customers by a curtain. There
came into that store one day a woman
of the streets, who wandered around
and finally went behind the curtain
and gazed in rapture upon that pic
ture; she stood there without a word
and went away in slience, and she re
turned in a few days afterward, and
went back again to look at the pic
ture. She did that again and again,
never speaking, but always came si
lently, drew aside the curtain and
gazed upon the picture of the crucified
Christ. But there was a difference in
the woman, a ribbon less flaunting,
clothing better, and different in her
apparel and demeanor, noted from
time to time, indicating perhaps, and
let us believe, the impression made
upon her by that silent face, until
finally she forsook her life and lived
a life for Him who had wrought her
redemption. (Applause.)
And so in bringing to you that pic
ture, I want to bring a copy of the
work done by this brotherhood. 1
say this because men to-day all ovei
this land, and we have them by the
hundreds, and men who do nothinj
bui spend their entire time in criticis
ing others and in predicting the down
fall of .the community and the down
fall of this world.
Now, my friends, don't you believe
that for a moment. I believe this
world is better to-day than it has ever
been before. I do not think that or
dinary people are as selfish as theii
grandfathers, and I believe the coun
try was never better and purer than
it is to-day. My friend said, "That
can not be." Look at the Revolution.
If you had not had a pure community
you would not have had the revolt
against the moral and legal offense.
I want to preach to you, that there is
not room in the Odd Fellows' lodge
for the man who believes not in vir
tue, but there is plenty of room in the
lodge room for the man who believes
that the man by his side is worth theii
living tor, and worth the working forj..
and he is going to be better because;1
he himself has something to do withf
the making of it. Supposing any man
had said to Washington at Vallej?

everything is against you; fate is
against you; country is against you J
foreign lands are against you what
would have become of that army had,
he believed it? But it was because
that army was composed of men who
believed in themselves and .whOyhe!
uevt(
won, and that after Valley Forge came
Yorktown.
Now, my friends, I am glad to have
come here. I have trespassed upon
your time more than I expected to
but I am very glad to have had the
pleasure of coming to Carolina, rich
in its splendid history, and rich in its
men it has given to this Order, and to
this land to bring you a message from
another State. We are doing the
same work that you are doing. We
believe in the same ritual, we follow
the same great flag both of the Or
der and of the land. (Applause.)
Our sons and yours have sat togeth
er in the lodge rooms and slept by the
same camptires, and, my friends, we
are one in everything that stands for
the fraternity oi man as we are one in
everything that stands for the better
government of man. And I am glad
to have come here and return the
favor you gave us fifteen years ago, if
my tongue can adequately do so.
wish you Godspeed in your work, and
I speak the sentiments of every man
from our community as I say that.
As we dedicate this building of civ
ilized brotherhood and faith, let us re
new our allegiance to the great Order
to which we all belong, as the doors
jre now flung open. Make this home

"I have been made a drunkard by

The impassioned words of the
prisoner fell like coals of fire upon
the hearts of those present and some
of the lawyers and many of the
spectators were moved to tears.
The judge made a motion as if to
stop any further speech on the part
of the prisoner, when the speaker
hastily said:
"No! no! Your Honor, do not
close my lips. I am nearly through,

Good Advice From J. II. Hill &
Son as follow to Create an
Appetite.
Any physician will tell you that it
s tmwiso to eat unless one is really
hungry. It is far better to miss a
inaal than to eat without appetite.
But do nt take a tonic, stimulant,
or appetizer to make you hungry.
J. 11. Hill & Son say that the best
way to createan appetite is to restore
he digestion to health by the use of
Mt-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable
remedy that they have sold with the
icst of satisfaction.
When Mi-o-na is ut-ed, the irrita
ion ant inflammation of the stomach
coating will be soohted, the gastrio
follicles will befctre.-glu ned so that
God and man for the murder of my they will pour out the natural diges-

9 Foot Cotton Stalks in Virginia
Among the many strong evidences of the great value of
"Cerealite" we cut the following from the 4 'Graphic" the local
paper of Franklin, Va. The only other Fertilizer used under the
cotton was "Home Fertilizer."
From the Franklin, Va., "Graphic.'
' Mr. Albert Sidney Johnson, who is not only a good pea
nut buyer, but aa expert farmer, for this latter fact is fully de
monstrated by an exhibition of his cotton crop at "The Graphic
Office" this week. There were two stalks, on3 9 ft. high with
00 bolls, and the other 5 feet 10 inches with 126 bolls, many ad
ditional blooms on either stalk. Who can beat this. The ferti
