Clark Fisher deliv­ ered on the occasion of his of­ ficial visit to his home lodge, No, 67, I.O.O.F. Exeter: “Oddfellowship was first esta­ blished in America by a man named Thomas Wildey on the 26th day of April, 1819, at-Bal­ timore. He was affiliated with the order in England and was active there for some years prior to his coming to America in 1817. This has grown from five members to many millions now. There is no civilized nation on the globe that the name ‘Odd ’Fellows’ is unknown. Mil­ lions have knelt at the alter of Oddfellowship and assumed its obligations and know of its hu­ man benefactions. As a Frater­ nity it has befriended the strik- en, relieved the distress of the unfortunate, administered lfelp to the needy, softened the sor­ rows of the heart-broken, secur­ed* thousands from the reluctant and methodical charity of the world, provided for destitute widows, buried the dead, protec­ ted and educated orphans and, by daily deeds of love and friendship has added greatly to the happiness of the world. Its lessons are taught in every civi­ lized tongue. It teaches the, fa­ therhood of God and the bro­ therhood of man. It teaches man his capabilities for good. Its ul­ timate aim is to improve and elevate human character through the gentle influence of Friendship, Love and Faith. “It has been said that Odd­ fellowship is close to religion and, in its teachings, that may be true; but, it leaves its mem­ bership free to worship God ac­ cording to the dictates of their own consciences. It endorses no creed hut subscribes eternal al-> legiance to the all wise Creator and Preserver of the Universe. We feel that it will make man a better citizen and more faith­ ful and honest in meeting the obligations that every one owes to the community in which lie dwells. There is not a lesson in the rituals of any branch of the order that is not taken from that great storehouse of know­ ledge, ‘The Holy Bible’. “Ours is not a money making institution. It is a great, a fatal mistake to subordinate th'e great principles of the order to its finances and to make its fin­ ances of more importance than its great moral principles. It is well and wise to be economical but it is wrong to economize at the expense of the great chari­ ties of the order. The true wealth of the order is its mem­ bership. In almost every lodge there are to he found a few of the faithful, who are always in place and who watch over the interests of their lodge; and while such men live and labour in our lodges. This grand old institution of ours can never fail. These are our jewels, these constitute our true wealth. Our life is a journey from the cra­ dle to the grave. I draw your attention to an analogy which in my opinion most closely ap­ proximates the aim of Oddfel­ lowship. Our government takes paper of a high standard and prints upon it certain words and it becomes money and has a value in the world. Our govern­ ment takes certain metals of a stipulated fineness and im­ presses upon them certain char­ acters and they become coins with which you and J can ac­ quire commodities which we re­ quire. Oddfellowship takes a man of character and to ensure that, we, have a ’characted com­ mittee’ and then by means of the various degrees conferred upon such persons, we endea­ vour to impress characteristics which give him a value in his association with his fellowmen. You know that in a monatory world individuals sometimes try •to print money but it lacks true character and is counterfeit. Coins which are reduced in size become counterfeit. The reason for the milled edge on coins is to make it difficult for any per­ son to take away part of the coin. Some people try to gild a base metal and make it appear as a valuable metal. This again is counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is a serious crime and severe penalties are provided by the criminal code on conviction for such offence because counter­ feiting destroys all basis of val­ ue. There are surely some les­ sons for Oddfellowship here. Our degrees must be so conferred as to impress a new character upon the individual. A gilding or mere pretence is a counter­ feit. “Another analogy can possibly be drawn. We have coins of dif­ ferent values made from differ­ ent metals. Similarly, it is im­ possible to make all individuals into the highest value to their fellowmen but those who cannot become .gold coins may serve ef­ ficiently as silver and those who haven’t all the necessary char­ acteristics to become silver coins may be copper, and those have a definite though smaller face value. There are some individ­ uals who desire to represent themselves as Oddfellows but are not prepared to fully accept our principles. They fail a little here and are like the coins where part is missing. They are not full value and therefore are counterfeit. I wonder just how much full value currency we are placing in circulation and how much counterfeit. Think it over. The influence of this fra­ ternity in the affairs of the world cannot be measured and, while its past is glorious yet its future must be made more glor­ ious.’’ SAINTSBURY Mr. and Mrs. II.
