Oddfellowship originating jn the nece sines uf the human race, has, in the course of many years been organized and made amennbie to obligation and rules which have been inetrumenial in, carry- It has tor its foundation principles as ancient as creation itself, and which are as pure as ,' the 'first ray 'of liaht that from the throne of God flashed over the Earth '"- ' Seasons come tand 'go. all things around us change, muti dies and goes to his long home, the flower and the grass spring up, at our feet. fade and . are no. more; "he Babylonian rpires- sink.

Time sLake the stable tyranny of ihrones, and tottering empires crush by' their own weight," but the principles of bur order "are. immutable, " and' im perishable, and will remain untouched and unharmed, growing brighter and brighter throughout all time. .XJddfellowahip as you have been taurrhi buttles against evil passions and practice, vice in every form,' and every wrong. Il tends to elevate and , improve the heart and nature of man, making him what the Almighty deigned him to be; the no-blest w ork of creation. . ; There .are many vice? against : which Oddfellows are vuired (9 wage unceas ing warefare.amongjwhich ncn-ari? aaore destructive of our peace and welf-ire- than Evil speaking.

During the Iaie ci'vil tvar '"no ' attempt was made to establish ' a ' Northern, or South era Oddfellov.-hip. The thunder itig nf the cannou.the glittering 'of the, aword, the. shout cf victory, the wail, of defeat, the "clang of . arms, the shriek of agony, ihe' groan of deaih" did noi destriy the solemn 1 obligations of our ancient Order, but So soon as 'peace was declared the smothered flames of Love, friendship and truth illuminated, ihe hall of the Grand Lodge of the United States; all' were mingling together again as a band uf brothers. - 1 ' - - - "Absence With ail its pains, wai by this charming moment wiped away!" Says a writer, ou the subject ; "repre sentives from "every, jurisdiction came, .save uvo North Carolina and Fioridd ' and these! wer? absent on accoun. of un avoidable circumstances. The brethren of New York and Massachusetts cbi.pd hands with their brethren from South Carolina; tears were shed ;' all em braced and plcdged'to each "other"' e:er hal fidelity to the principles of - ihe Or der, and thus were the broken - links welded as .with a white heat.", It is this inteiesling event as, well, as the anniversary of the founding cf 'the Order in he United States, that we have been calltd together this evening to commemorate witn tnanks-crivinj?: and prayer. Through the mercy. pf.the. AU mighty, our Order has been safely xou-' ducted over the wild and blood-stained wave of war and desolation, leaving it bound together as in days past -by - the threefold chain ofLove7 friendship and Irutb, for which we should r.etum the most iincere and heart-feit trjanks to Him who nidkeih wars" to cease, breaketh the bow; and cuteth :the spear in sunder. - : ' ;. The statistics of the Grand Lodge of the United. Slates gives a detailed re port of .the ' .whole benevolent transac tions of the Order. From this it ap. pears that during ' the year' preceeding the last sesfc)n 19.133 brothers were relieved ; 2 719 widowed 'families were also relieved. . ,. ; ,, The amount paid for. tb3, relief of Brothers was S334.149,?B. The amount paid out for relief of wid owed familied 32,069:88. Amount paid for the cducaii' n of Orphans. S11:417.75 ; amount paid for . hurrying the - dead, &S3 592.33 ; Total , recfc1jt, ,J. Ihe report shows that the Ludgfcs in New York, are not' inclu ded m this amount, and, of ' course, must be much larger. i -.. . .j s .. : Besides these amounts, the Encimp menii' have paid for the relief,' cf caeiu hers and widowtd families, burying the dead, and educating the Orphans S53.CC4.i20, Ii'wiill be seen Hh'at con s derable more than half a' million - dol lars was paid during the last year -in be nevolence wiihiu the . Ord-r. ,; ; s j . Jn Nebraska only a ?mall amount has teen expended in the way of benevo lence : '2'2 broilers relieved ; paid Out for tbe same 273; for burying the dead 75 ; total S349. . . ; .j i The report ives no statistics ; of i the amounts expended for the. relief of .."wid owed fauulies, and the education pf or-' phans iu Ntl'raska. Ths causi of this' I am unable to explain. It is clearly, however, the res-uli of an over sight. - " i ' This is no ' small amount but, who' can compote the private chiruyr grow-! ing out of the-, kindly feeling cu.uvaied and exercised by the cf.ihe Lodges"? How many friendly, a id af- fectionate visits hive b-ien paid to"sick brothers, to the widows crphins.aud how many nights have - been spent via w atching around the bed side of the sck' and dying?' These are qustians not easily answered. Can it' b-?7 p-Vsible tl et this is a '" mere ''shadow1 of affection? No; ;it canuot ba tijat'toeD so iiioosd en on themselves. , .

Lbve.Truth and Broih erhpod are plainly taDght ia the Bit-le, buu'vve do not believe ihat . the . practice of these moral sentiments, is all that God demands of. us.7 .. Man's duue3, morally, are two fold; Th'se which he o-.ves to his Macr, a nd those which he owes to his feliow-man We should not confound these duties, or presume the practice of . one class ex empts from that of the other. Odd-fel-lowahip has to do with the duties which man owes to mtn. We do detain d that every person asking membership, shall believe in the existence cf .God; As you all know the ritual' of our Order teaches that God's word is the eternal Truth' revealed U man for his moral welfare; but we go no funher thaa this! Ia examining an applicant for membership, we do not ask what nuy be his political creed, nor do 'we ask him what may be his religious creed. Odd-fellowship is aa institution for time, . cot .-, for eternity. It has to do 'with .the present life ; but religion goes beyond-! ir,- and prepares' for a lit e tc come. We acknowledge that true religious is better,Dybler iuap,any merely moral cr benevolent institution, howe r., true its principles and pure its ; practice.
