ODD FELLOWS CENTENNIAL.
Saturday
On . ur ay of last week, April 26,
a century was reached by Oddfellow-
ship on this side. of the A'tlantiic, and
throughout America the Centenrealis
being celebrated. In England the Or-
der was established 274 years ago.
On. April 26th, 1819, at Baltimore,
the Indepe;rnde,nt Order had its birth.
It quickly spread throughout the. Stat-
es which then constituted the Union.
Healing recognized .God as the Fath-
er and mar as a brother, out of this
new ,relationship many new duties' and
obligations arose, the faithful per-
formance of which „raises a man above
the sordid, selfish aims of life and
transforms hum into a -benefactor. This
re atuonshipr these duties and obliga-
tions are taught by the examples, pre-
cepts, mottoes and symbols of the Or-
der, a,U of witich are taken. from ;the
Bible and are intended to reach the
heart and touch ,the conscience of
man,. Oddieelowship demands no sac-
rifice of man's opinions, it antag:onp,zes
neo party church or creed. On the
contrary, it . demands ,that eachi mem-
ber faithfully dig chs rges every duty
he owes to himself, his family, eels
country and his God. Its 'commends.
are - To v(usiit the sick, relieve �e the
distressed, bury the dead and educate
the. orphan. Its sole object is to do
good. It seeks to make -man. Gad, -like

ity, and it•deserves•and should have
"Gadspeed" pf every church and ev-
ery Christian, man and woman.
Its introduction to Canada dates to
1843, the ..first lodge being instituted
at Montreal on August 10th, 1843.
In. 1843 the .Order reached Onrtairio
Victoria Lodge Na. 6, the pioneer
Lodge of, the Provence, having been
ilnstt;itu'ted at Belleville an the 17th of
June. •
.
.Some 3.8ledges were son started
in various parts .of Ontario, but a de-
cline set ;inandonly two of these
lodges survived. The decline was due
=to the failure . on tele ;Part of malty

true elms and objects, regarding it
meanly as a source of pleasure and
amusement•Conditions, however
soon improved and there ryas a reviv-
al of interest, and during the next fele
years many new lodges were institute
The Order .spread ,to far+ away Brit-
ish Columbia in 1866, to .Manitoba in
1871, and Saseceetahewan in 1888.
The Grand Lodge of Ontario came
into be=an; ;m 1855, on August 23.
There ' are three hradches of the
Order, the Subordinate, the Encamp-
ment, and the. Rebekah.
