1,0.0. F. GREAT MORAL AGENCY, HISTORIAN SAYS South Bend Man Making Research Into Ritual of Order. Odd Fellowship is defined as a great moral agency by Jacob Goldman, South Bend, historian of Indiana Odd Fellows, who Is making a research into symbolism connected with the order’s ritual. In the first of series of articles he is writing for the Indiana I. O. O. F. Bulletin, he describes the order as an organization “seeking to beautify man’s earthly tabernacle by lifting humanity from the relam of selfishness and by inculating divine principles in man’s conduct.” For years Goldman has collected papers, articles and histories containing information about the order and is giving benefits of his long study to wipe out, as he says, ignorance concerning purposes of fratemalism. Object of Order Set Forth From a message of James I* Ridgley, characterized by Goldman as “the Foundation stone of Odd Fellowship,'' the object of the order is set forth in these words. “Its object is to disenthrall human action from the degrading operation of the grosser passioas. and to mould men to generous, confiding and affectionate relations with one another.” Ritual observance of the oldest known lodge, the Loyal Aristarcus lodge No. F>, Order of Odd Fellows, London. England, provided that in all caspß comfort and welfare of the brothers should be the aim of the noble master and his wardens. According to rulps of that lodge, the loving cup was to be replenished three times at each meeting and a ♦oast of sympathy was offered to “our poor and distressed brothers. Elevate Standards of Life ** in all his researches Goldman has found it was aim of the order's founders to provide means of elevating standards of life through mutual brotherhood. The Loyal Aristarcus lodge had four degrees, the Test, the Obligatory, the Royal Arch and the fifth, seventh and ninth degrees. Four festivals were observed by the lodge each year and every member not present at all of these was fined six shillings and eight, pennies. The festivals, according to Goldman, were held on St. James' or St. Concord’s day in January. St. David’s day in March. St. John the Baptist’s day in June and St. Michael’s day in September.
