the grandeur and beautiea of our order
and the benevolent and charitable
spirit of our institution. He soon
learns that it is as extensive in its
boundries as it is unselfish in its con
duct and operation, and that its princi
pics are as high as Heaven, as deep as
the sea and stronger by far than the
bands of death
Brethren we are engaged in a noblo
wore, but there is much lor us to do,
having, as a race, been shut up in the
dark dismal prison house of bondage
lor 430 years, with no ray of light to
uawn upon our benighted minds. Ihe
statua 01 Memnon in Africa is eaid
to emit a vocal sound when touched by
the rays of-the sun, but to-day the
causj of God's oppressed people are be-
lag proclaimed from snore to shore.and
every hierogliphics.every monument, as
well as the platform 01 the Lyceum,
the political arena, tbe historic pen as
well as the pulpit of God's liolv Sanc
tuary are proclaiming in thunder tones
that the promised land of a higher
destiny are held in reserve for
tho oppressed, people of God
Of course in such a condition of slavery
we could not enjoy the privilege of free
men. I say, 4d0 years of bondage, and
I speak advisedly, for it is a remarka
ble fact and singular coincidence, that
irom the time thehrst African si aye was
ottered at public sale in Portugal, to the
adoption of the 14ta and lotu amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States, which virtually put an end to
. .: i l . 1 ? r 1
.viricau slavery, uoiii in jvurope anu
America corresponds precisely with the
bondage of God's chosen people in
Lgypt, being 4JU years of bondage in
each. Now, wc are told that the chil
dren of Israel wandered for forty years
iu the wilderness ere they were permit
ted to reach the Promised Land, and
we arc further informed that Moses, in
obedience to the command of Heaven,
acting as Supreme Grand Councellor,
did organize the Children of Israel into
lodges, camps, chapters and members,
and unto the several lodges Moses gave
wise iusturctions, is the lauguage ot the
Boole.
We arc in the wilderness, to-day,
brethren. 4,0o-0,X0 of our race recently
releaacdlroui bondage are marching with
steady tread through the wilderness of
superstition, ignorance and! degrada
tion, onward and upward with meas
ured tread to the promised land of high
er and nobler Christian civilization.
And although there is no visible physi
cal Moses leading us" through this wil
derness, yet impelled onward by the
ii piration of the spirit of Him "who
spake,'- and the shackles from 1,000,000
people lell iu broken and shattered
fragments to the earth, at the feet ol
the former slave and chat tie, and 4,Xn
() human beings, created iu the moral
imairc'ol God, stamped with tiic seal of
he inanity and bearing the impress of
) Jiviuisv " sprang' forth in the character
ol.lreeaicn. Inspired by that spirit let us
go forward in our work of bencvolene
and charily until the three golden links
of brotherhood shall bo impressed upon
every worthy heart, aud the standard of
the Grand L'nitcd Order of Odd Fel
lows shall be planted upon every shore,
among every people, every nation, every
ton-'iio and every tribe. Then shall the
bright era come, and from tho dim grav
dawu of the eastern horizon whence
the monarch of day breaks through and
