PAGE rout ROCKINGHAM POSr-DISPATOH. RICHMOND COUNTY, N. C. ODD-FELLOWSHIP Third Degree. Teaching by object lessons is one of the most effective methods of imparting instruction. Prin ciples learned in this way are not easily forgotten. A method close akin to this and almost as effective is teaching by symbols, especially when the symbols are adequately explained. In the Third Degree all the lessons of preceeding degrees are symboli cally called to the attention of the novitiate in a most impress ive way, thus tending to fix them indelibly upon the memory, and to impress anew the import ance of exemplifying them in our daily conduct. But in thisdegree the chief emphasis is laid upon TRUTH. Truth is the crowning virtue. Most vices, if not all, generally, if not always, are dependent upon falsehood. Virtue cannot be promoted and maintained apart from- Truth. Truth is called the Imperial Virtue. It is common among men to discount the importance of Truth, and Odd-Fellowship may be sup posed to give it an exaggerated importance; but in magnifying its relative vaiue Odd-Fellows are following the lead of the Bible, which, as we have already seen is adopted as an integral "part of Odd-Fellowship. Even the lie that is "just for fun" is definitely and severely condemn ed by the Word of God. "As a mad man casteth firebrands, ar rows and death, so is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, 'Am I not in sport?' " Prov. 26: 18, 19. The Bible emphasizes the importance of Truth by the conspicuous place it gives to'the condemnation of falsehood at the very close of the Sacred Vol ume; three timas on the very last leaf of the Bible. Rev. 21:8. ''All liars shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone." Rev. 21: 27 'There shall in ho wise enter in to it (the' heavenly city) any thing that defileth, neither work- eth abomination, or maketh a He." Rev. 22: "Without are dogs and socerers and whoremongers and murderers and whosoever loveth and rpaketh a lie." Notice how in two of these passages the sin of lying is made especial ly prominent in its condemnation by the words "all" and "whoso ever" which are not used to qualify the other classes of sin ners. It does not say all mur derers and whoremongers, but it says ALL liars; and it does say WHATSOEVER loveth and mak eth a lie. People sometimes talk flippantly about white lies, but according to the Bible all lies are hateful. Odd-Fellowfc in making Truth the Imperial Virtue ate following, as in other things, the AUTUMN PROMENADE The favorites of fashion of every period and every clime combine in these new modes. Distinctive features of so many types of pleasing dress are here that every woman will find just the costume best suited to her personal individuality. Seldom has there been such beauty of fabric, such variety of treatment and such perfect results in tasteful wear as we now show in a varitable host of original and exclusive models in every manner of garment.
