NOT TO GO IN RODY T0HEAR SUNDAY Omaha Camp No. 120, Modern Wood men, has refused an Invitation to attend Bllljr Sunday meeting at the tabernacle Id body. Tha Invitation was extended to the Vamp by a member of the Sunday cam paign committee. It u taken up at a meeting and a resolution M Immediately offered that the ramp refuae the Invlts tlon on the grounds that such an action would be a direct violation of the law of the order, which command that the camp shall not take up any religious r political questions, and also that sucfi an action might prove offensive to'lKosi' members of the camp who are not ia sympathy with the Sunday campaign. ' "We have l.lno member In our camp," ask! a prominent Woodman, "and of that number many ar noman Catholics; Jews. Unitarians, Cnrtatlan Scientists and msny who belong to no faith. We coul hot, therefore, accept the Invitation to aitfnd In a body as Woodmen." " The reaolutlon to refuse the Invitation" was passed unanimously. There was not a dissenting vote. Tamp No. 130 also resolved to protest against any of the other Omaha Wood men ramps attending the campaign as Woodmen on the same grounds as they refused the Invitation. The resolution offered no objections to any Woodman attending the meeting, no criticism was made of Hilly" Sun day or his methods, but the protest was made that no ramp atlrnd a tabernacle meeting officially a members of the Modern Woodmen because of the fact that so many religious order were rep resented within the organisation.
