An Address.

The following is the address delivered a few days ago before the Stock, well Odd Fellows by Rev. 0. H. Leeson, of Fowler:

Brethren of the I. O. O. F., Ladies and Gentlemen:—It affords me great pleasure on this eightieth anniversary of the history of Odd Fellowship, and at the dedication of this beautiful building, to address you in the interests of the great work of humanity in which you are engaged. It is an organization so philanthropic in itB character that every individual who enters into the progressive spirit of the age cannot but rejoice that the seed sown on the 2(ith of April, 1810, has found nourishment in the better intelligence and larger civilization of our day.

Those gentlemen who then planted the seed of Odd Fellowship, builded wiser than they knew. They could not foresee the magriificient results of their work. They labored and bequeathed to us a goodly heritage. That great system of organized humanity, which is the pride of the fraternity, spreading its soothing wand over many countries, covering, sheltering and protecting the helpless and dependent, protecting the innocent, providing for the careworn and oppressed, uplifting the fallen, ever nourishing with its "precious ointment" those who need comfort and protection from the snares and temptations, pitfalls and dangers, which human life is heir to.

I shall not presume at this time to enter into the historical development of the order, from its first rude beginnings among the Roman soldiers in the reign of the Emperor Nero, 55 A. D. It is sufficient for our present purpose to know that that organization of "Fellow Citizens" was called "Odd Fellows" by Titus Cwaar because tney recognized each the other by day and by night. The brotherhood so won the confidence of the emperor by their deeds of heroism and gallantry that he granted to them a dispensation, engraved upon a plate of gold, having the following emblems, viz: The royal arch of Titus and the ark of the covenant the golden candlesticks and table weighing a great talent the sun for the noble grand the lamb for the secretary the lion for the guardian the dove for the warder, and the emblems of mortality for the grand master. The deBign of the teachings of Odd Fellowship have ever been to instill a feeling of human brotherhood in the bosom of every initiate, and to so practice the cardinal virtues of true brotherhood that they may aid in the realization of that exalted conception of humanity revealed to us in the matchless imagry of the Divine Son, 'God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." These words of the apostle of the Gentiles reveal the true spirit of a genuine brotherhood, and while Odd Fellowship has not attempted to assume any of the duties of the spiritual life, it, at the same time, has endeavored to make vocal the great spirit of brotherly love that finds such an intensity of expression in every new promise made known to the children of the infinite. The order haB not pretended to be a moral reformatory. It has neither undertaken to perform the functions of reform institutions, or supplant the church in the great work of human redemption. Its sphere of activity is in the department of practical morality and applied humanity. Its ultimate object is the betterment of human conditions and the alleviation of human sorrow. Its teachings, its lessons, its examples are founded upon the Bible. From the time a man enters the lodge room in the initiatory degree until he has passed all the grades and steps of the order and has reached the highest point attainable, he is, at every turn and on every hand, advised of the fact that he must prepare to die, and that he must so live that when death shall call he may be prepared to enter into the eternal beyond and be fitted to assume the new role of character that will be beneficial to his eternal existence.

The great design of the order being the elevation of human character, in harmony with those conceptions

The foundation stories of the order are laid in the better civilization bequeathed to us through the unfolding of the spirit of progress and humanity, made possible by the teachings of Jesus. The story of Jonathan and David, of the good Samaritan, are studied in the lodge room, and their virtues are commended for the daily practice of every member. It is there we are taught to care for the sick, bury the dead, educate the orphan, and provide for the widow. It is from the precepts of holv writ that we are to learn how to reflect credit upon ourselves, show obedience to law, fidelity to family, respect for the church and exhibit to the world the benefits derived from an associate life.

The tendency of the age, the spirit of modern progress, and the advancement of civilization are toward a universal brotherhood. This was the intent of the great author of our being, and every organization of progressive and humanity-loving men and women

hastening of that glorious era. This sentiment is the center around which the whole social, moral and civil systems revolve, and the mission of the school, the college, the church, the fraternal organization is nothing more nor less than a means by which the race shall be bound together by the common ties of humanity. There is no excuse for the exibtence of any institution or organization that has not for its object the betterment of mankiud. Every institution that is to receive the patronage and support of a Christian civilization must be essentially Christian. It will not do for the university, the church, the fraternity to dream of finding any other ideal of character or life that shall result in larger benefits to the race than that revealed in Jesus Christ. "Go ye into all the world," says the great commission, and it is aB much the duty of His followers to live and act as -brethren as it waa to "preach the gospel.'1 For, if their teachings were not actualized in living forms of charity and brptherliness, those upon whose ears their glowing precepts fell would turn away with sadder hearts.

The great cardinal teachings of Odd Fellowbhip are contained -iu the trippie alliance of friendship, love and truth. The ethereal virtues of the encampment are embodied in the graces faith, hope and charity, all upon the basis of purity. Here friendship pure, disinterested 'and refreshing, assists its fellows along the rugged way of life, while love in tender condescension yields sweet consolation and truth, the keystone of life's structure, without which life is a failure, enlivens the thought with visions of delight. is it not a sublime picture that reveals in the background of every life an unseen but ever present power, who ever lightens and relieveB the burden? Does it not yield UB inspiration? How it adds to our friendship, love and to love, truth and to truth, faith and to faith, hope, and to hope, charity! How it snatches the very possibilities of failure as "brands from the burning," ever impelling us toward some graud and noble ideal! How whispering hope bends to assure us that our highest expectations ana fondest dreams are yet to be attained. Then charity, blest boon to mortals given, embraces us as his common heritage, and assures us that not only we but that all mankind were brethren.

But in this great tripple alliance of the order, what is friendship? Is it simply a kindly spirit between individuals, or doeB it take hold of the very vital elements of the soul and knit the hearts of the race together in the bonds of human brotherhood? It is easy to be friends to those we love, but it is not so easy to entertain a brotherly spirit in our hearts toward those that dispise, scorn, and ill treat us? When friendship is to be tested by sacrifice, it is not so easy to endure unless we have been mistreated by a friend, "that Bticketh closer than a brother."

There is a sublime degree of friendship that may possess the human soul. It is enduring, it is not vasc'ilftting. It is abounding in its kindly offices toward others it is not self centred. This is the kind of friendship you brethren are taught in the lodge room. You are to exemplify it in your everyday walk and conversation. Every act, and word, and deed, and thought must be thrilled with this principle of your brotherhood, and you trust be instruments in hastening the day when the nations of the earth shall be knit together in a fellow feeling. But what is love? Is it not that golden cord that unites the hearts and lives of beings together in the bonds of enduring friendship? Is it not the very seed fountain of affection, volition and intellect? Dwelling in the center of man's inner life it is a substantial principle, as real as any element of nature, and "Weightier far Than strength of nerve or sl.ew, or the sway Of magic, potent over sun or star—

Is love."

%of

humanity implanted by the lowly Nazarene, it is evident that no man can enter into its spirit without becoming abetter man'and a better citizen. Indeed, the aims and teachings of the entire organization are to develop the nobler sentiments of humanity, to cultivate unselfishness, and a disposition to render assistance to those in need.

It is not a charity organization but its members are organized and pledged to assist each other in times of need. It must protect the family, it will care for and watch over a sick member, it will furnish money with which to purchase the necessities of life in cases of calamity. This obligation it makes as a matter of duty which every member owes to every other member, and must never be considered as a matter of charity.

Some person has said, "Love is harmony," and it so, the harmonies of nature are the conditions of human perfection and progresB. The har mony of society is the perfection of love, it flows from love, is directed by experience, modified by will and rendered perfect by knowledge. When "the morning stars sang together" there was sucn a sublime harmony in naturo that "all the Bons of God shouted for joy." Love gives life its precious nourishment. It is the element of tenderness, kindness, affection, attachment, and of all those pure sentiments which gush so 6pontane oufcly from the depths of the soul. It is love that is expressed in music, that giveB its grace to language, its beauty to painting, its charm to the budding foliage of spring, itB sweetness to the Bong of birds, its fragrance to the flower, its grandeur to the vaulted heavens. Love is life's oncbanted dawn. Those who have tasted it in its perfection need not ask what reward awaits the just. It lends its en chantment to every human function. It gives rise to hope, and hope clothes itself with contemplation, anticipa' tion and expectation. Love is the parent of all those sentiments and impulses which characterize the need of civilization, in the unfolding of the mystvies of nature, relieving the misery of society and hastening the advance of nations. It fortifies the mind as well as the heart. It strengthens and develops every enobling conception of life, ever aiming at better con ditions for the race, and purer lives for the nations. "Love is a virtue for heroes,

As white as the snows on the hills, And immortal, as every great soul is That struggles, endures and fulfills. The intellectual faculties must be cultured and the mind sufficiently developed to impart to the affections a clear image of ideal companionship Ignorance is the bane of human brotherhood. Culture, sacrifice,' love, progress, are the aids to a higher and better civilization. We cannot be true friends, not ideal companions, until we grasp the great lesson of progress and develop our faculties in harmony with thiB fundamental law. In accord with this thought, one of the poets has said: "Ye who gUide the fates and furies

Give. O give me. I Implore, from the myriad hosts of nations, JH rom the countless constellations, One pure spirit that can love me,

is an inetrument in His hands fo~r t£ ^eTsonaTuy "Thesis^gre^TffieSs'

One that I, too, can adore. Love iB also the expression of quality in an individual. Yes, if I mistake not, it also expresses the

lis climata.

of life, yvhen deep and abounding af fections flow from love's fountain, and there iB large intelligence where there is great reflection and memory and when there is a strong will it manifests itself in individuality, self assertion, independence, courage, heroism, and integrity. The great difference between individuals, the power that makes one man great and another inferior, one strong and influential the other weak and effeminate, lis measured by the quality and quantity of this divine sympathy with men.

A few years ago an eminent minister was preaching to the convicts in a prison and in his discourse told the prisoners that the only cause of the difference between his position and them, the only difference between his position and their position, was due to the love of God. A short time afterward one of the prisoners sent for him and asked, "Did you mean what you said shout sympathizing with us in our condition, and that only the love of God made you different from us?" Upon receiving an affirmative reply the prisoner said, "I am here for life, but I can stay here more contentedly, now I know that I have a brother i'n the outside world" His deep sympathy for the convicts permitted him to enter into the secrets of their hearts and made them feel that after all there was a bond of brotherhood between them.

Real individuality and spiritual power can be measured by this divine sympathy with men. It is the measure of consciousness, to which every other power of body or mind is subservient. It is the pivot on which the individual universe revolves. By it we master all that impedes our growth or progress. It inspires us with courage, determination of purpose, patience to endure, fortitude to mold, motive to spiritualize. It is the magnetic point that makes "Great souls by instinct to each other turn."

It is the diamond point that makes us "The lielrs of all the ages, in the foremost flies of time."

Love is life's talisman. It unfolds, defines and characterizes the individual. It is the element that conceives of all loveliness, of all gentleness, of all fragrance of all music, of all beauty. Love is the fulfilling of law. "Who never loved, never suffered, he feels nothing, Who nothing feels but for himself alone."

The emotions of such a talisman have a solemn import to every soul. These are duties which cannot be ignored, vows for perfect fidelity, for mutual assistance, for affections. No outword form can cancel your duties as Odd FelloWs. Pure love which ignores self in the grandeur of benevolence, must elevatetalike the love and the loved. It produces not only a refining, elevating and quicuening influence but a balancing, harmonizing effect.

Love demands honor, truthfulness and fidelity. It is free to choose, but not to caBt aside duties once assumed. Its choices are ever permanent. Through the gentle power of fostering love, rude selfishness is banished and benevolence takes the place of force. "Why should we suppress the best of passions, love?

It aids the hero, bids ambition rise To nobles heights, inspires immprtal deeds, Even softens brutes, and adds a grace to virtue."

It receives the sanction of divine authority, and its eternal "love never fa.leth." It surpasses the narrow bounds of instinct and enters the

vaBt

sphere of those unselfish qualities that are the glory of the race. The thought of others educates the heart. Unselfish affection and devotion are demanded of every Odd Fellow as well as of every Christian. In fact, the demands of brotherhood are the demands of Christ. Then •'Let us each other love and cheer,

Through life's distracting, thorny road And quickly dry tne thorny tear Wltn kind affection's soothing word." The'spirit of love iB the basis of manhood. It is the starting point of every true and noble life. It is the fountain of the soul welling up in all the richness, and beauty, ana grandeur of the spiritual nature. It clarifies the intellect, purifies the passions, becomes the exponent of reason, makes its heroes ever ardent, impetuous, courageous. If you aspire to be manly, drink deep at this fountain, abide until your whole soul is enthused with a warmth of emotion, your reason with a clearness of perception, your conscience with a boldness of courage, your judgment with keenness of vision- Dream not that great, strong valiant hearts are ever the accompaniment of weak and undisciplined heads. The true man is one whose whole nature, body, soul and spirit, has been thoroughly disciplined under the fos tering care of the Holy Spirit. You as Odd Fellows are taught by every symbol of your order to lay the broad basis of your manhood on these enno bling virtues of the BOUI and the higher ethereal graces of faith, hope and charity. There is no other basis for your manhood. No fraternity, no institution, no church, can discover auy other. 'THere is no other name given under heaven, among men, wherebv" we can become so thoroughly inspired with every virtue and every grace, as the name of Jesus Christ. It is my ideal of a true and exalted manhood. He is your ideal. He is the ideal of the community He is the ideal of the nation. He iB the ideal of humanity.

Love is the world's refining fire. There is a great deal of dross, and sin, and shame in society. There are a great many things that I do not like. If I could have my way there would not be a saloon nor a place o' iniquity in all this fair land of ours and I am determined to do all in my power to purify and enrich our social, civil, political and religious life. It will not do for me nor for you, brethren, to withdraw ourselves from society because we cannot prevent Bome of itB sin and shame. We can help to cure it. Even though some of the contaminating customs are deep rooted and of long standing, it is our duty. .not only as citizens, but as Odd Fellows and as Christians, to put shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, and make Buch a determined and resistless tirade against all iniquity that the glaring crimes of the nations shall shrink into caverns of perpetual gloom, and the (norniog dawn of friendship, love and truth shall be crowned with the graces of an implicit faith, and abounding hope, and a universal charity. Some

cannot cure by public may cure by new and others Bhall be curbed progress of law and jusby charity and others by

the prl^tfe of brotherhood. But is truth, tho third link in the great chain of Odd Fellowship? Truth iB tho eternal bond that unites humanity in friendship and love. It is the golden cord that unites the boul to the BOUI of the infinite. It is that mysterious background of life which supplies it with all its radiance, its inspiration, its hope, its progress, its victory. Truth is the progressive ideal of a piogressive race. It is destined to become the sacred word of humanity. In it is included an entire social, political and religious transformation. The ancients who dreamed of fate and chance, had concealed from their view the incomparable power of that latent arbitrator of human and material des tiny a power that was alternately creator and destroyer, the action of which man was neither ajole to understand, accelerate nor promote. They believed that man was not capable of founding any stable or permanent work on earth. They believed that nations were destined forever to move in a circle. They believed that man arose, became powerful, and sank to an inevitable doom.

The men who, with the word of Christ upon their lips, founded the religion that has so enriched our civilization, had but a very dim conception, never grasped nor assimilated the Bacred idea contained in the word progress. They looked down through the vista of the ages to the unity of the human race. The perceived the unity of law, they understood that man was to be made perfect, but they did not comprehend that God had given to them the power to realize the ideals they so fondly cherished.

Now truth is not only the progressive ideal of a progressive race it is the ideal self that goes before UB into living forms of life. It is that self which thinks, and judges, and knows, that iB ever in advance of that other self which wills, and acts, and lives It is that self which includes all the spare capital of the aoul, projecting it into forma where it may be kept, con templated and worshiped aB the insti tuted sources of its inspiration. It iB that godlike element, or conscious ness, or something, which ever goes ahead of men in forms of their own choosing, beckoning them toward perfection and leading them toward God

Truth is that law of right which ever sits aB the monitor of our thoughts and acts. It compares UB with our ideals and tries to make us measure up to them, chiding us when we fail. It selects only the higher conceptions of life, and when we have approached nearer and nearer to our standard, we find that it advances with every new step, ever beckoning UB on to our ex alted purpose.

All truth is divine. There is not one kind of truth taught in the lodge room, one in the school room, another in the church. If it is truth for ths lodge, it is to the school and the church. A truth taught in the lodge room is just as sacred aB if taught in the church. The truths of science, of literature, are just as pure as that of the Christian religion. The God that gave us the present law of gravitation, attraction and chemical affinity, gave us also the great truths of self-sacri-fice, redemption and salvation. And if we consider the latter truths to be holy, divine, then are the truths re vealed in the book of nature also holy and divine, for they come from the same hand. It is the cross that sancti fies all'truth. Now if all truth is eanctified by the cross of Jesus Christ it is just as culpable to violate your obli gations and yield obedience to all of the teachings of Odd Fellowship, as it is to violate any other law. Because a part of the truths of Christianity are given some expression in fraternity life, iB no argument to release you from any other demand or precept of Holy Writ. You are taught in the lodge room to profess your faith in the existence and oeing of Almighty God and no man can win his way into a working lodge, or withdraw during its session without acknowledging his faith in the "all seeing eye

The lodge is built upon this great truth. No man can be an infidel and ba an Odd Fellow. I know this to be a fact. It is contrary to every precept and teaching of the order. It is in di rect opposition to every sign and sym bol of the" institution. You do believe in God—you must believe in Him And the man who is an ideal member of the order muet be an ideal Chris tian. These, in ideals at least, go hand in band. In actual practice we fall short o' our ideals, but this is not the fault of the ideals, but the weak ness of human flesh. To fail in the great virtues of Christian manhood which are the ^ery basal elements of the order, is to make an eternal ship wreck of life and destroy your own soul in 6pite of every possible induce ment that could be given to save it. "Great truths! ah, yes, more grand,

More light and high Than hopes that thrill the wires through out the land!

Than stais that gem the sky. "Great tru'.hsl ah, yes, more fair. Sublime and deep

Than burning thoughts that tremble on the air! Than the mysteries of sleep! "From nature's soul they spring

To joy and light. And on imagination's quivering wing They take their onward flight.

••In beauty's garb they rise All fresh as morn. And on their pions, spread for sunlit skies,

Our souls are glndy borne.

"Greath truths! they come from God! In heaven have birth Tliey spring to lifefiom each prophetic woru

That thrills the world!" Now that I have defined the great triple alliance of Odd Fellowship, which really includes the ethereal alliance of the encampment, all upon the base of purity, elements worthy of each and every individual life, let me call attention in c^pclusion to the supreme gift, the summum bonum, the highest ideal of Odd Fellowship, the the supreme ideal of the nation, and the moBt exalted conception of human character.-

It is 'possible for human brotherhoods so to copy the external graces of ideal character that they may become almost ideal. In this Christian age, under thiB Christian civilization, every institution and organization of men is permeated with Christian ideas. But

for Odd Fellows, what is the supreme bond, tho ideal of idcale, tnat truest conception of ideal,life that c-acu and every oi^e of you are taught to follow? Who is that supreme character that you are taught to look to, revere and adore? Where is that highest ideal of life that every true Odd Fellow and every Christian is taught to exemplify? It is Jesus Christ. He is the fairest among the fair, the one altogether lovely.

But He is the highest ideal of iudividual life. Every man who is striving for the ideal life is striving for the Ohrist life. He is not only the ideal of the idividual, but He is the ideal of social life, He is the ideal of nations. He is the ideal of progress. He is the ideal of a higher and better civilization. He is the ideal, the patron saint, the great grand master of humanity, who is ever lifting the race up through the shifting scenes of history into living forms of brotherhood, which shall crystallize into the glowing image of the infinite. He is on the altar. He is in the altar. He is through the altar. He inspires the altar with friendship, with love, with truth, with faith, with hope, with charity. He is its great base of purity. He is Jesus Christ, "the same yesterday, to-day and forever."

To the Editor of the Journal. In reply to an item in last week's Alamo letter I wish to say that the scribe informed the people wrong from the fact that be, (Prof. Moore), started in the school with forty-one scholars and ended with seven, which shows that the school was not taught satisfactorily to the entire community. While I do not wish to say anything against Miss Dennis and Mr Lee, fo: they have taught us a good school but as for the professor we differ fro: the scribe and claim that his schoi caused quite a great deal of dissatisfy tion among the patrons.
