GRAND MASTER^S REPORT.

To thr (Ira ltd Lrnhje of the State of lUiiwis, I.O.O.F.:

"Our Fathers' God, from out whose hand The Centuries fall like grains of sand."

The ordinary events of today become the history of tomorrow. Few of those who are actively engaged in any part of the world's great work realize at the time that they are history makers, yet this is true, as all great activities have their factors in the minor details of everyday life. What is true in the world about us is equally true in our great frater- nity. A year of the history of Odd Fellowship has been written since last we met as a Grand Lodge. Whether there has been progress or retrogression depends upon how well we, as individuals, have done our several parts. While greater labors and responsibilities devolve upon the officers of Grand and subordinate lodges, yet nothing can be accom- plished without the loving, loyal service of the masses of the member- ship. During the year just closing there have been true hearts and ready hands throughout our great State to do the work outlined b5' those whose duty it became to lead. The magnificent growth in mem- bership in both subordinate and Rebekah lodges attests this. Notwith- standing the financial depression which prevailed at the time we last met, there has been a large gain in membership, greater than tjaat of the previous year. In the subordinate the net gain at the last report was 4412, giving a total membership at the end of the year of 83,332. The net gain in the Rebekah lodges was 3034, giving a total of 40,904. This is most gratifying. While quantity is not everything, yet, when the quality is right, membership can not be too large. Absolute peace and good feeling have prevailed. Very few questions of any seriousness have arisen, and these have been satisfactorily settled. In the mass of details that must be adjusted during the year it is not pos- sible nor desirable that these should all be brought fully to your notice. To hit the high places and give the essentials must suffice.

NECROLOGY.

The uncertainty of life and the swift and sure pursuit of the Death Angel are seen in the falling leaf and the withering flower. An immuta- ble law of nature limits our earthly existence. The prince and the peasant, the rich and the poor, the young and the old, are equally sub-

\ ject to the scythe of time. While the visits of the Pale Messenger have not been frequent among those prominent in our work, yet a few ripened sheaves have made the harvest a rich and precious one.

JOHN LAKE,

Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative, died at his home in Rockford, December 5, 1907. The funeral took place on Sunday, December S, at 2:00 p. rh., and was in charge of Social Lodge No. 140, I. O. O. F. Being unable to attend in person, I appointed P. G. M. Brother Wm. R. Humphrey as the representative of the Grand Lodge. Brother Humphrey conducted the funeral ceremonies as Noble Grand, assisted by Grand Patriarch F. D. P. Snelling, as Grand Chaplain, rep- resenting the Grand Encampment.

Brother Lake was the first initiate in Winnebago county, and had been an Odd Fellow more than sixty years. He w^as elected Grand Master in 1877. Subsequently he served as Representative to the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge for six years, ending in 1SS5. Not feeling that in the brief space allotted to this report I could do justice to such a noble character as our deceased brother, I appointed a special committee, con- sisting of Past Grand Masters Alfred Orendorff, John W. Yantis and J Otis Humphrey, to prepare and present at this session of the Grand Lodge a suitable tribute to his memory.

WALTER E. CARLIN,

Past Grand Representative, died at his home in Jerseyville, July 16, 1908, His funeral was held on Sunday, July 19, with all the honors of Odd Fellowship. Faithful service entitled him to the great considera- tion shown in the many tributes from loving hearts and ready hands. For many years Brother Carlin stood as the Chief of Examiners and Instructors. At the last session I took genuine pleasure in placing him again at the head of the department of instruction in our work. Know- ing his inability to continue to perform these duties, owing to ill health, he presented his resignation.

HENRY C. FELTMAN.

Another father in our Israel has fallen. Brother Henry C. Peltman passed to his reward on April 12. The funeral took place at his home in Salem on the 14th of April. While Brother Feltman's more active ser- vice had been in the Patriarchal branch of the Order, yet he was ever a most loyal Odd Fellow wherever a duty called or a fraternal privilege presented itself. Our brother fell in the harness, being at the time of his death, as he had been for years, the efficient Grand Scribe of the Grand Encampment. Being unable to attend his funeral, I designated Grand Secretary Bro. John H. Sikes as the representative of the Grand

Lodge. Brother Sikes was present and assisted in the services in his memory.

COMMUNICATIONS TO LODGES.

Immediately after the close of the Grand Lodge I sent out the fol- lowing announcement to the lodges, giving standing and special com- mittees:

Decatur, November 30, 1907. To the Subordinate and Rcbekah Lodges, I.O.O.F., Greeting:

A new year in our Fraternity is dawning. May the sun in its course, from its annual rising to its setting, warm our hearts so that great work may be done in the cause of humanity. To visit the sick, bury the dead, relieve the distressed, and educate the orphan, should be the full measure of our privilege. Our ritual, beautiful as it is and fraught with instruction in right principles, leading to higher aims and nobler lives,, will be little but a form and a ceremony unless we are willing to help the needy and dependent. Instead of a wholesome body throbbing with life, it will prove to be but a grinning skeleton, if we do not go into highways and hedges to cool a fevered brow, stand at the open tomb with tears of sympathy for the broken-hearted, care for the aged, helpless and dependent, and help guard the child bereft of natural protectors, that it may grow into a beautiful and useful life. Our great brotherhood has no somber hue. It does not object to, but rather encourages, the pleasures of the social hour. The lodge is a place for pleasant but serious tasks.

It is a source of gratification to all that so large a number of men and women are enrolled in our great fraternal army. Our almost Eighty Thousand Odd Fellows assisted by nearly Forty Thousand Re- bekahs can work miracles in uplifting humanity. To accomplish results practical methods are essential. If every one will feel bound to secure one new member, how infinitely our power for good will be multiplied in the coming year; and yet quantity is but a burden unless wedded with quality.

One bad man can undo the good of many noble ones. Let us first be assured that the prospective applicant is a good man or woman. We should endeavor to add to our numbers, but not at the expense of har- monj' and good will. The success or failure of our cause for the coming year is dependent upon the loyalty and faithfulness of the rank and file. The officers of the Grand Lodge can do little if you do not hold up their hands.

Illinois has a great duty to perform. The fact that we are honored in having our distinguished. Brother E. S. Conway as the leader and Commander of Odd Fellowship throughout the world places upon us a great responsibility. Much is reasonably expected of us. Will each member of our lodges help to meet this expectation? It can be done

Nov"^17!T908. I" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F, 17

in faithful performance of our duties, under the spirit of our great fraternity.

Each lodge, Subordinate and Rebekah, should select at once and report a brother or sister for Deputy Grand Master. In each case the person chosen should be a Past Noble Grand, capable and loyal to the lodge. A good deputy can do much toward preserving harmony and in stimulating the members of lodges to more efficient service. An indif- ferent or bad Deputy will deprive the lodge of the active service of one capable of great usefulness. As the local representative of the Grand Master, his Deputy should be chosen with care and wisdom. It may occur in a few instances that the lodge's choice can not be appointed, but it is my desire to have as my representative the one chosen by the lodge.

Each lodge should feel that the home for the aged and dependent at Mattoon and the Orphans' Home at Lincoln are peculiarly in its keeping. Their success can only be secured by the loyal and hearty support of the rank and file of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs. Through the per capita tax they are supported, but they need in addition your loving sympathy, your free contributions and active assistance.

The greatest freedom in communicating with the Grand Master is welcomed. In most cases a reading of your by-laws and the Code will answer your questions. In writing, please use only one side of the paper. Also, to enable a proper indexing of the vast correspondence, please write each subject on a separate sheet.

Permit me to acknowledge the great honor of being called upon by you, through your representatives, to stand for the coming year as the head of one of the greatest human agencies for doing to others as we would wish them to do to us.

RELIEF FOR BROTHER CHARLES W. REED.

Pursuant to the direction of the Grand Lodge, I sent out the fol- lowing appeal for aid for Brother Charles W. Reed, of Rockefeller Lodge No. 815:

Nov!^'l7!'l9b8. 1" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 21

Decatur, 111., Dec. 21, 1907. To tltv Snhordinatc LGdcics of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Dear Brethren: At the recent session of the Grand Lodge, Grand Master Brother Fred B. Merrills presented the case of Brother Chas. W. Reed, of Rockefeller Lodge No. 815, but living at Chicago, for relief. The Grand Lodge, after careful consideration, directed the incoming Grand Master to make an appeal to the lodges for money for the relief of Brother Reed. His case is singularly distressing.

Brother Reed is 39 years old, and has been afflicted with rheuma- tism and unable to do any kind of work since February, 1903. For a large part of this time he could not feed himself nor turn over in bed without the most excruciating pain. He required a constant attendant.

Rockefeller Lodge is a very small organization and with very lim- ited financial resources. They have paid Brother Reed sick benefits and apparently done their best to perform their duty. But the means at their command are wholly inadequate in comparison with Brother Reed's necessities. The Odd Fellows' League of Chicago was requested to examine the case and report. The examination was made by Past Grand Master McKinley, Brothers Gaskill and Fellows. This committee found that he was still unable to care for himself and needed a constant attendant. He is entirely destitute, and has no family that he knows anything about. At the time he took sick he had about $5,000.00, which he has since used in maintaining himself and trying to be cured. His maintenance for the last few months has been borne by his lodge and by individual members of the Order out of their private purses. These brothers have expended almost $700.00.

The Grand Master, after conferring with the Finance Committee, drew a warrant for $200.00 out of the Special Relief Fund. It will be seen from the foregoing statement that here is a case of genuine need. The brother is in the sorest distress and absolutely without means of sustenance. I, therefore, ask the lodges of this State to contribute out of their abundance for the needs of this worthy distressed brother. It is not necessary that any lodge should give a large sum, but if all will contribute something the sum realized will be sufficient. I suggest that the sums contributed be from $2.00 to $10.00 from each lodge.

Please act promptly, and send this sum to Brother John H. Sikes, Grand Secretary, that an accurate account may be kept of it. The sum as collected will 'be turned over to the Grand Treasurer, and warrants drawn as the necessity may require. I feel sure that it is only necessary to call the attention of lodges to this case to secure a prompt response.

Fraternally yours,

OWEN SCOTT, Grand Master.

As a result of this appeal the sum of $2052.96 was realized. Brother Reed lived in Chicago, but was a member of the lodge at Gray's Lake.

22 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] J<!ov^^if^vm.

The money drawn from this special fund was sent to A. C. McDowney, Treasurer of Kenwood Lodge No. 288, for the use of Brother Reed. The sum drawn is $1800.00, leaving' a balance of $252.96. The money paid to Brother Reed has been used in his support and in providing means of subsistence for him and his wife, whose entire time is required in caring for him. I have declined to issue appeals in other cases, believing that this should be done very rarely, and then on the express authority of the Grand Lodge.

I have also issued the following letters to lodges from time to time as circumstances seemed to require.

GOOD DEGREE WORK.

Decatur, 111., Jan. 27, 1908. To the Noble Grand and Brethren of the Subordinate Lodges of Illinois:

To the loyal Odd Fellow the ever present problem is how can I help build up the Order? The solution lies in two directions, and yet these are really one.

1st. Get at least one good man's application.

2d. Let the work be made so impressive that the newly admitted member will go out full of enthusiasm to get his friend to join. Many lodges and brethren do not realize the importance of good work in conferring degrees. No more effective method for increasing member- ship can be adopted. Of course, the secret work should be given cor- rectly, but that is the least important part in its effect on the candi- date. A well drilled team in executing the movements in entering and retiring is much to be desired, but this does not help the candidate, for he does not see them. Good floor movements are important, but they should neither be too long nor laborious.

Work on the Ritual. The scenes depicted in the several degrees are sure to make a deep impression if well done. When poorly presented they become almost a farce. No one should ever use a book. The several charges should be so well studied and so well rendered that the candi- date will scarcely believe that there is a book. No lodge should ever tolerate any addition to the ritual. Not long since, at a large gathering where different degree staffs were putting on the several degrees, the Grand Master was asked by a member of one of the teams if there would be any harm in putting on a character not provided in the book. In thus adding to the ritual some brother or lodge assumes to be wiser than the Sovereign Grand Lodge. No word or sentence not contained in the ritual should ever be given. It is a violation of the law to do so. Neither should anything be left out. This is equally reprehensible.

Another important consideration is that every candidate should be given courteous treatment. There is no place for roughness, buffoonery, or "horse play" in Odd Fellowship. The candidate, by being elected, comes as a gentleman, and should be treated as such at every stage of his advancement.

Nov^'lTf^gbs. !" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 23

Lodges often make a serious mistake in trying to do too much work in one evening. No lodge should ever confer all the degrees at one session. Two degrees should be the maximum. To give all four in one evening makes every one so tired that toward the end interest is well nigh lost. The candidate has seen and heard so much that he is con- fused. It is all a jumble to him. Go slowly and do the work well.

Fraternal visits between lodges should be encouraged but don't let it result in all-night sessions. They don't pay.

One other essential thing is, to have more than one man qualified to take every part. Degree teams ought to be so that each one can do any part. Brethren, don't stop with beautiful marches and the secret work. Study the ritual in every part and put on the beautiful scenes and teachings with their full force and meaning. The growing, progres- sive lodge is the good working lodge. The rusty, moth-eaten lodge soon becomes dormant and will soon go to the fraternal graveyard. Brethren, let us stir up the lodges by becoming proficient in the ritual. Our numbers can be greatly increased if we will do the work well.

There is to be a new ritual July 1st, with many changes. Each lodge will do well to get the new work as soon as it is ready. This will probably be in advance of the time it goes into effect. The Sovereign Grand Lodge has made it so that the new rituals will be furnished without cost to the lodges.

Brethren, this letter goes out that you may help to build up the Order by doing better work.

Grand Secretary. Grand Master.

FRAUDULENT PUBLICATIONS.

Decatur, 111., Jan. 27, 190S. Brethren of Sulordinate Lodges:

' Copies of circulars have been sent to secretaries throughout the state advertising a book purporting to give the ritual of the Order. Of course, these are mere fakes and frauds. They are merely catch-penny schemes of mercenary publishers. Brethren should promptly consign these circulars to the flames. It is illegal for a brother to have one of these fraudulent books in his possession. He would be subject to disci- pline and ultimately to expulsion. The rituals in possession of the lodge can at any time be consulted and the work accurately and correctly given. This is merely given as a word of caution, for it is conscien- tiously believed that Odd Fellows will not lend themselves to such a nefarious scheme by buying these worthless books.

SPECIAL GRAND LODGE IN CHICAGO.

Decatur, 111., Jan, 27, 1908. To the Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges, I.O.O.F., of Illinois —

Dear Brethren:

Whereas, There are a large number of Past Grands in the City of Chicago, Cook County, who are desirous of receiving the Grand Lodge Degree; and

Whereas, Nonpareil Lodge, No. 331, I. O. O. F., located in Chicago, has made request therefor; I, Owen Scott, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, I.O.O.F., do issue this my proclamation, under the power and authority in me vested by the laws and Constitution of said Grand Lodge, calling a special session of the Grand Lodge, to meet in the City of Chicago, Cook County, on Monday, the 24th day of February, 1908, at 7 o'clock p. m., in the lodge room of Nonpareil Lodge, No. 331, I. O. O. F., southeast corner Clark and Washington streets, for the pur- pose of conferring the Grand Lodge Degree.

For the purpose of facilitating the business of this special session of the Grand Lodge, I hereby appoint the following Past Grands to act as a Committee on Credentials, viz: E. E. Skillin, P. G., 127 Fulton Street; Samuel E. Erickson, P. G., 57 Locust Street; V. L. DeWitt, P. G., 10634 Hoxie Avenue.

Past Grands desiring to receive the Grand Lodge Degree are re- quested to present certificates of official rank from their Lodges to the Committee on Credentials, as early as possible.

Representatives are not compelled to attend this ispecial session of the Grand Lodge, but all who can possibly do so should be present, but they will not be allowed Mileage and Per Diem.

Those officers of the Grand Lodge required by law to attend will take notice and be governed accordingly, and I hope there will be a good attendance of members at this special session.

No Mileage or Per Diem will be allowed, and all expenses of said special session must be met by the local Lodge making application for said session.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPUTIES.

Decatur, 111., Jan. 27, 1908. To the Lodge Deputy Grand Master:

Dear Brethren — You have just entered upon your duties for the coming year. You are anxious to do all you can to make your lodge grow and prosper. You have an important office. Though recommended by a vote of your lodge, you are appointed by the Grand Master as his

Nov^^r^YgOS. [■ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 25

personal representative. A good deputy seeks to give his lodge safe and careful decisions. The Code is the man of your counsel. Follow it lit- erally. Do not quarrel with it. If it is wrong, it is not your fault. The deputy should try to harmonize differences If they arise. He can render the lodges and the fraternity a great service by doing this.

Before installing a Vice Grand, see that he knows not only his own but the Noble Grand's work. In the absence of the Noble Grand he is to preside. He should be prepared to do his part well from the start. Some times the term is almost half over before the officers can open and close without the books before them. You can change this if you notify the Noble Grand and the Vice Grand elect that they must learn their work before the installation. This is no hardship as they have a month in wliich to get ready. Your good service is confidently expected and the Grand Master relies upon you to help him give a successful administration.

Decatur, 111., March 5, 1908. To the Officers and Memljcrs of Suhordtnate and Reiekah Lodges, I.O.O.F.:

Dear Brethren and Sisters: Pursuant to custom prevailing for many years, and in accordance with the proclamation of the Grand Sire, and -by virtue of the authority in me vested, I, Owen Scott, Grand Master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Illinois, do hereby call upon all brothers and sisters to come together on the 26th day of April next, to celebrate the Eighty-Ninth Anniversary of the founding of our great brotherhood. The 26th being on Sunday this year, either Saturday, the 25th, or Monday, the 27th, or some other convenient day, should be chosen. Odd Fellows should not hold meetings of any char- acter on Sunday, except funeral or memorial services. Suitable exer- cises in observance of the Anniversary, and thanksgiving to Almighty God for our great growth and prosperity, should be arranged.

Done at Decatur, 111., this 5th day of March, 1908. Attest: OWEN SCOTT,

SAVING MEMBERS AND BONDS.

Decatur, 111., March 5, 1908. Retain Your Membership. To the Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges, I.O.O.F.:

Dear Brethren: This is the time to prevent members from being

dropped for non-payment of dues. Prior to April 1st, many lodges l«se many members. This should not be so. Others become more than thirteen weeks in arrears and thereby become non-beneficiary. Much of this can be avoided by a good Secretary. It is the duty of members to pay their dues promptly. Many, however, do not do this. Some are extremely careless and merely overlook it. A Secretary should keep a small book in his pocket with the amount due from each member, and when they approach the time when they will become non-beneficiary or liable to be dropped, a gentle reminder will often bring the money and save the members. If a member is not where the Secretary is likely to see him, a telephone or written suggestion will generally be appreciated by the delinquent. If it were not for the leakage in membership by brothers getting in arrears for dues, the growth of Odd Fellowship would be much greater. A brother saved is as good as a brother gained. I desire to remind the lodges, as they approach the end of the six months term, of the importance of saving our membership.

Bonds of Treasurer and Secretary.

The Lodge Deputy should see that both Treasurer and Secretary have valid bonds in form prescribed by the Grand Lodge before they are installed. The Deputy is not permitted to install these officers until they have given bonds approved by the trustees. The form of the personal bond is found on page 137 of the Code of 1906. If preferred, a Surety Company bond may be taken. Great care should be exercised to see that the surety bond is in proper form. On pages No. 50 and No. 51 of the Grand Lodge Journal of 1907 is found the form of surety bond that lodges should require. Many surety bonds are worthless, and money paid for them is thrown away. The companies maj- be solvent, but the form of their bonds is so full of loop-holes and technicalities that in case an officer goes wrong the money cannot be recovered. It is the duty of Trustees and Deputies to see that the lodges are pro- tected by good and valid bonds. If any Surety Company declines to execute the contract adopted by the Grand Lodge, or wants to charge more than $2.50 per $1000.00, the name of a responsible company can be furnished that will write the bond at this rate. Lodges should be careful to protect their funds.

PURE THOUGHT AND PURE LANGUAGE.

Owing to the importance of the subject, I sent out the following:

Decatur, 111., May 8, 1908. To the Subordinate Lodges of lUuiois, I.O.O.F.:

The following article sent out by Brother E: S. Conway, Grand Sire, is so rich in thought and so helpful in its teachings that I earnestly commend it to the special consideration of every member of the Order of Illinois:

Pure Thought and Pure Language.

As an introduction to this brief article on the subject, "Pure Thought and Pure Language," I desire to quote the following admirable editorial that recently appeared in an Odd Fellows' publication of high standing.

"As far as the East is from the West, so far is the effect and in- fluence of a clean and wholesome story removed from the degrading tendency of a vulgar one. It can be truthfully said that rarely, if ever, a questionable story is related in one of our subordinate lodges, much to the credit of Odd Fellowship. Indeed, many of the sessions of the Grand Lodge could well take instructions from our subordinates in this particular. Odd Fellowship stands for high ideals, and our annual sessions should be conducted with a dignity and a seriousness commen- surate with the objects of the Order. It has happened in our Grand Lodge that stories were told and vulgar insinuations uttered that would not be permitted in any subordinate lodge in the State, and that wounded the finer feelings of hundreds of members of the Grand Lodge."

These are pregnant words, golden words, rich with ethical signifi- cance. A vulgar discourse, a lewd allusion or an obscene story has a

rtn ( Tuesday,

28 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS ", Nov. 17, 1908.

miasmatic effect on tlie healtliy moral sentiments. And so we will thie more thoroughly understand and appreciate the ringing words of the editorial reproduced. They have the resonance of the true and flawless metal. I feel a peculiar gratification in the knowledge that there are few breaches of propriety in the direction of questionable language or allusions in the lodge room. I feel prouder of our Order when the thought comes uppermost in my mind that few Odd Fellows, either at a meeting of the subordinate or of the Grand Lodge, offend the refined sense in this particular. Such breaches of propriety are mephitic in their tendencies; they poison the atmosphere about them and choke the moral nature. Occasionally, I deeply regret to say, some speaker will apparently forget the beautiful les- sons taught in our rituals; will forget that our lodge meetings are always opened with prayer and that the fundamentals, the basic princi- ples of our great Order, are to elevate the individual character and to aid in the uplifting of mankind to a higher plane of thought and action. Such too often forget the eloquent and inspiring addresses of other speakers w;ho have preceded him, and, unmindful and in utter disre- gard of this, will tell some suggestive story that will in a measure in- hibit the good effects and cast a pall over many that sometimes is not an easy task to remove.

Such members of our Order should remember that others have set a higher standard for their lives; that purity of speech is one of the prime requisites of correct living, and that they should make it a rule never to allow language to pass their lips that they would not utter in the presence of their mothers, their wives, or their sisters. Let me say to you that there are many men of that stamp in this world, and they are the leaven that leaventh the whole loaf.

I can quote one illustrious American who has added to the luster of his career by refusing to tolerate offensive language. It is related of General Grant that when one of his subordinate officers sought to relate an objectionable story, prefacing his words by the remark that he could tell it freely because there were no ladies present, the great soldier said, "But you must remember that we have gentlemen present." The story was not told.

This is a noble sentiment expressed in a noble utterance. It is a sentiment that should be constantly borne in the mind of every speaker in the lodge room or in the presence of Odd Fellows everywhere. We should either discard our ritual, or, at least, strive to lead lives in keeping with its sublime teachings.

No live Odd Fellow, true in his soul to the principles of the Order, will feel any desire to listen to any words degrading in their tendency. Next to the church, there is no organization, the underlying principles of which stand for purer thought or higher ideals, than our Order. Any one who persists in shattering these ideals by the use of improper

nJv"\^-O908. !' GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, LO.O.F. 29

language should be adjudged guilty of conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow.

Those ^unfortunates who in an excessive degree indulge their fond- ness for spirituous liquors are looked upon as enemies to the social order and are treated as such. The unfortunate use of the tongue is as great a vice as the intemperate use of alcohol or other drugs that kill. The Good Book tells us that it is not that which goeth into the mouth, but that which cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man. The vicious tongue is indeed worse than the vicious appetite, because while the latter poisons the individual offender, the former cuts and wounds and sometimes blasts the reputation of many.

I earnestly hope that the time is near at hand when there will not be a single speaker who will be so unmindful of his environments and of the ritualistic teachings of our Order, and so ignorant or inconsiderate of the rights of those about him, that he will inflict upon his hearers any words that will tend to lower the moral tone or to fill the minds of others with prurient imaginings.

Language is the outlet of the soul's longings, hopes, ambitions, con- ceptions. It ought to be cast in the finest mold. No base imagination should change and corrupt it to its debilitating uses. It should refine, strengthen, elevate the lives of those about us, as well as our own. King Solomon tells us that "a wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit."

Each man has his influence in the environments in which his destiny has placed him. The circle of such influence may be wide or narrow, yet it is still there. If we lead lives of purity, we will influence others to do the same. If we frame pure thoughts in purity, we will influence others to do the same. If we frame pure thoughts in words that are chaste and refined, we will infiuence others to do likewise. The power of the individual life is not often understood; certainly not to those who do not stop to think that life is merely the sum of trifles. Our words and our examples will leave an ineradicable im- press upon characters that are just forming. What we say also fixes our own standing in the discriminating minds of others, and gains for us prestige or disrepute. We cannot be too careful in our speech; too circumspect in our thoughts. "As a man thinketh, so is he." Words are the only things that live forever. Like Banquo's ghost, they will not down, but return to us with compounded interest, oftentimes to bless — sometimes to disgrace.

The Holy Bible is a wellspring of wisdom and inspiration. Words are as heavy with portent as they were when written thousands of years ago. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life" is a truth that it will be wise to remember. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" is a corollary of the first adhortation. Read and interpret these two golden texts together, and

30 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINCS "I No^^'^l-f \^t

( Nov. 17, 1908.

we shall understand how paramount it is that wc guard and control Our tongues.

Purity in words, purity in thought, purity in deed — that should be our shibboleth.

I cannot refrain from quoting Pope in his Essay on Man:

"Immodest words admit of no defense; The want of decency is want of sense."

These words should burn deep into our soul; energize our higher selves, and crystallize the needs of humanity into one exquisite ex- pression: "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."

Grand Sire.

PICNIC AND LAYING OF CORNER STONE.

Decatur, 111., May 29, 1908. To the Subordinate and Rchrkati Lodges, I.O.O.F., of Illinois:

Dear Brethren and Sisters: June 19th has been fixed as the date for laying the corner stone of the new building of the Old Folks' Home at Mattoon. It has also been determined to hold the Annual Picnic of the Children of the Orphans' Home at Lincoln at the same time and place. This will be an event of great significance to our great institu- tion in Illinois. To bring the children who are the objects of our ten- derest care and solicitude to meet with our aged and dependent brothers and sisters who are the guests of the Odd Fellows of Illinois, presents a scene that can not fail to appeal to the highest sentiments of fra- ternity. The new building whose corner stone is to be laid is to provide for many who are now denied our bounty because of the want of room. The generous care of our dependents is the strongest proof of the value of Odd Fellowship. It is very much to be desired that every lodge in this State, both subordinate and Rebekah, will be represented at Mat- toon on June 19th. If located near enough, a large delegation should attend. "Where the distances are great, each should select and send at the expense of the lodge a representative. By doing this the Odd Fel- lows and Rebekahs of Illinois may be brought closely into touch with our two Homes and know to what excellent purposes the money appro- priated by the Grand Lodge is applied.

Hoping to see the largest gathering of the Order ever assembled in Illinois, I remain Fraternally yours,

OWEN SCOTT, Grand Master.

It being impossible for the Old Folks' Home to provide dinner for any except the Orphans' Home children, all visitors should come with baskets loaded to the muzzles.

CONSOLIDATION OF CHICAGO RELIEF BODIES.

Decatur, 111., August 25, 190S. To the 8 Khord incite and RebeJcah Lodges of Cook County, III.:

Dear Brothers and Sisters: The absolute necessity for a Central Relief Body in Chicago to care for worthy Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in distress and to sift out unworthy ones has been recognized in the organization of the two excellent bodies now in existence and doing so much good. For years these organizations have worked effectively, and the managers have rendered a loving and unselfish service. It 'is a gen- eral belief that there should be but one central body appealing to lodges and individual Odd Fellows for support.

At the last session of the Grand Lodge the following preamble and resolution were presented by representatives of Chicago lodges:

"Believing that the laws of the Order never contemplated the formation by the representatives of subordinate lodges of more than one central organization in any one city for the purpose of general relief work; and

"Whereas, In the city of Chicago there are at the present time two such central organizations, known respectively as the Odd Fellows' Board of Relief and the Illinois Odd Fellows' League, each performing ill its own way an almost similar line of work, resulting in added tax on those subordinate lodges that feel called upon to contribute to the maintenance of both, and deterring other lodges from contributing to (Mther organization because they can not contribute to both, and also resulting in confusion in the minds of the public and some of our own membership.

"Resolved, That the Grand Master be requested to use his best endeavors to effect a consolidation of the two organizations.

"W. F. DOUGLAS, No. 141.

"W. H. DELLENBACK, No. 362.

"H. M. BLOOD, No. 330.

"E. D. HARRIS, No. 190.

"J. HENRY DEBUS, No. 540.

"M. A. SHERMAN, No. 673.

"FRED STROHM, No. 8."

Acting on this the Grand Lodge adopted the following:

"Resolved, That the incoming Grand Master be requested to use his

best endeavors to effect a consolidation of the two organizations."

Pursuant to this resolution I appointed the following committee to

take into consideration the plan indicated by the Grand Lodge:

James Ewing Davis, No. 450. Henry J. Reeziger, No. 488. C. A. Young, No. 696.

W. H. Dellenback, No. 362.

Jessie L. McCain, No. 62, Rebekah.

Aurielie C. Heuermann, No. 428, Rebekah.

ALso, I named as my special deputy F. D. P. Snelling, Grand Patri- arch.

This committee began at once the work intrusted to it. From the beginning there has been the utmost harmony and good feeling, and a general desire to carry out the wishes of the Grand Lt>dge. It will be observed that the members of this committee are taken largely from those most active in the two existing relief organizations. Brother C. A. Young being President of the League, and Brother Reeziger Presi- dent of the Odd Fellows' Board of Relief.

After many meetings and conferences and much labor by the mem- bers of this committee, on July 22, 1908, a unanimous report was signed and placed in my hands. This report is as follows:

Chicago, 111., July 22, 1908. To the Honorable Owen Scott, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of

Illinois, I. O. O. F.

Your committee appointed to submit plans of an organization that shall take the place of the existing Odd Fellows' Board of Relief of Chi- cago and the Illinois Odd Fellows' League beg leave to report that:

We have canvassed the situation respecting the desirability of uniting the organizations known as the Odd Fellows' League and the Odd Fellows' Board of Relief of Chicago, and while the consensus of opinion seems to indicate the impracticability of consolidatng these bod- ies, a single organization, partaking as well in name as some of the main features of both, seems to meet with the approbation of the brotherhood. At a conference held in this city with the Grand Master and a number of representatives, at which were present the Grand Patriarch and other members of the Order, this conclusion was after mature deliberation arrived at; and your Committee was selected from these bodies with a view of formng a plan for an organization to carry out the idea thus conceived.

We take pleasure in submitting to you herewith a proposed consti- tution and by-laws for a new organization, which document is hereto attached and is self-exiDlanatory.

In view of a desire to put this plan in active operation we respect- fully recommend:

First: That the subordinate and Rebekah Lodges of Cook County be requested to send a representative, one from each lodge, to attend a meeting to be held in this City at a date specified by you, to ratify this Constitution and By-Laws, or such parts of the same as they may desirb to adopt, and also to adopt such other provisions as they may deem

necessary; to elect officers, and to transact such other business as may properly come before said meeting.

Second: That this organization be incorporated under the laws of this state.

Third: That the existing organizations be notified by you of the action taken in connection herewith previous to having this printed, with such recommendations as you may deem wise and proper, and we espe- cially recommend that you look into the matter of existing contracts of the aforesaid organizations.

Fourth: That the Grand Master have this report or the subject matter of the proposed organization printed and mail a copy to each of the Subordinate and Rebekah Lodges of Cook County, requesting tliem to co-operate with the proposed organization.

Fifth: That the proposed organization be adopted by at least sixty (60) per cent of the Subordinate Lodges of Cook County before being placed in operation.

In submittng this report, we do so with a desire to record the pleasant relations as members of the Order that have prevailed during our conference with you as Grand Master.

Fraternally submitted, in F. L. & T.,

JESSIE L. McCAIN, REB. NO. 62.

FRED D. P. SNELLING, Special Deputy. Also a complete constitution and by-laws for the government of the new organization was prepared and meets unanimous approval.

The first recommendation of the committee is that a meeting of representatives of the lodges of Cook County for organization be called. See report heretofore given.

Pursuant to this recommendation, I, Owen Scott, Grand Master, hereby request that each Subordinate and Rebekah Lodge in Cook County at the first meeting after this is presented, appoint a representa- tive to attend a meeting to be held at Lodge Hall, Methodist Church Block, Clark and Washington Sts., on the 3d day of September, 1908, at 8:30 p. m., for the purpose of forming an organization such as is suggested, adopting constitution, by-laws, rules and regulations, elect- ing officers, and taking such additional steps as may be necessary in carrying out the plan proposed by the Grand Lodge. Secretaries will at once report the names of such representatives, giving street addresses, to Owen Scott, Grand Master, Decatur, 111.

By such an orgranization as has been proposed an Odd Fellows' headquarters for the Northwest can be established in Chicago. It will be a central bureau for information in addition to its relief work. Chi- cago is the natural clearing house for Odd Fellowship for this section of the country. I sincerely hope your lodge will join heartily in this great movement.

SPURIOUS PUBLICATIONS.

Decatur, 111., September 30, 190S. To be Read in Open Lodge Each Meeting for One Month. To the Siihordlnate Lodges of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Dear Brethren: The new ritual is scarcely in your hands until announcement is made by circulars sent to the lodges that books con- taining the new work are for sale. These are fraudulent. Any lodge or member procuring any book, paper or pamphlet purporting to give the work of Odd Fellowship from any source whatever except from the Grand Secretary, John H. Sikes, is violating the law. A brother buying or having in his possession any book or other document except the regular ritual is liable to expulsion. A lodge that permits the use by its members of any fraudulent or spurious book purporting to give the secret or ritualistic work of the Order is subject to discipline, and if continued to lose its charter. It is hoped that lodges will assist in putting these fake publishers out of business by destroying their 'circu- lars and refusing to buy their books.

INSTALLATION OF GRAND CHAPLAIN.

Rev. Wallace W. Weedon, who was appointed Grand Chaplain, was rot present at the session of Grand Lodge to be installed. Brother Geo. W. Young was appointed niy special deputy to install Brother Weedon. This interesting ceremony took place in Williamson Lodge No. 392, at Marion, 111., on December 7, 1907. Brother Young made a complete report of the installation, which was quite an event in Wil- liamson Lodge.

TOO MUCH LAW.

In the business of the Grand Lodge during the past year I have found that we are embarrassed by having so much law. Decisions have been piled mountain high in construing the simplest provisions.

^^ n'^WOS. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. H5

Nov. 1

It is necessary to wade through a multitude of constructions. Many of these encroach upon each other so that when we are through inves- tigating it is difficult to know what the decisions mean. If we could eliminate one-half- of the excellently constructed Code of 1906 by drop- ping useless and perplexing constructions, a good service would he ren- dered. In view of this, I have concluded that there are no- points of the law so much in doubt as to require decisions at my hands. The constitution and by-laws are quite sufficiently construed already.

A NEW RELIEF ORGANIZATION FOR COOK COUNTY.

One year ago this Grand Lodge instructed the incoming Grand Master to use his best endeavors to effect a consolidation of the two relief bodies in Chicago, the Illinois Odd Fellows' Board of Relief and the Illinois Odd Fellows' League. See pages No. 343 and No. 371, Journal 1907. After considering the situation and conferring with leading members of the Order in Chicago I was convinced that consoli- dation was impracticable. It was believed that the proper solution was the formation of an entirely new organization into which both the old could be merged. To accomplish this I appointed a committee con- sisting of three members from each of the existing organizations and two from the Rebekah branch of the Order, together with Brother F. D. P. Snelling as my special deputy. This committee spent much time and labor working out a plan and drafting constitution and by- laws to govern the same. It was my privilege to meet with this com- mittee a number of times and assist in developing and working out the details. A complete plan was perfected and a new organization was formed to be known as "The Odd Fellows' League and Relief Board." At the meeting for putting into active operation the plan prepared there were representatives of nearly all the Subordinate and Rebekah lodges in Cook County. These were chosen at my request, as shown by circu- lar letter to the lodges in Cook County, dated August 25, 1908, to be found elsewhere in this report. The new organization has been in- corporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. The following offi- cers have been chosen by the representatives of the lodges in Cook County:

C. A. Young, President.

A. F. Hanson, "Vice President.

F. B. Fellows, Secretary.

Aurielie C. Heuermann, Treasurer. Trustees — Brothers Gaskill, Edgerton and H. A. Davis.

It will be seen that both Subordinate and Rebekah lodges are repre- sented in the list of officers. It is the purpose of this relief organi- zation to establish headquarters in the "loop district," to be in charge of a salaried officer known as General Secretary. This will' bring together under one management all the fraternal forces in Cook County

36 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS ] Nov" r^Tg'oS.

for the relief of our Avorthy distressed brotliers. It is also expected to make this a bureau of information for Odd Fellowship in Chicago. The cost of maintenance will be easily met by Cook County lodges, where all contribute in a systematic manner. I recommend:

1st. That this Grand Lodge approve this organization and commend it to the lodges in Cook County.

2d. That the Grand Master be authorized each year to appoint a special deputy to represent him and the Grand Lodge in the active working of this relief body.

3d. That no plan for securing money to maintain this work be put into operation without the approval of the Grand Master.

4th. That when "The Odd Fellows' League and Relief Board" is in full operation that no other organization covering the same field be permitted to appeal to members or to Subordinate or Rebekah lodges in Cook County" for financial assistance.

5th. That the two existing organizations be requested to turn over to the new organization any assets in their hands which were contributed by lodges or individual Odd Fellows. In case they do not wish to do so, I recommend that they be required to return the same to the contributing lodges pro rata.

I congratulate the Cook County brothers and sisters upon the forma- tion of so excellent an organization for the relief of those in need.

VALUABLE INFORMATION.

The Grand Lodge is especialy fortunate in having still in its mem- bership that sage and scholar of Odd Fellowship, Brother Samuel Wil- lard. For many years he has been loyal and faithful to our great fra- ternity. Though somewhat advanced in years, his mind is active and his perception keen as to what is of value to our institution. During the year he sent me a bit of information which will be of great value to this Grand Lodge in years to come. I, therefore, take pleasure in placing the following letter from Brother Willard in this report, that it may become a part of the records of this Grand Lodge:

Chicago, 111. Owen Scott, Grand Master L O. O. F., Decatur, 111. Dear Sir and Brother: By a personal letter sent to me years ago by Brother Chester S. Woodward, an old man during my secretaryship, but still active in the Order, I was informed of matters of importance in the history of the Order in Illinois which are nowhere on record. When I was directed by the Grand Lodge to reprint the early Journals of that body I found that the early records were deficient and ceased abruptly. Hence there is a gap of years in our history so far as records show it. Here comes in Brother Woodward's letter. It seems to me

Nov"l7 1908. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 37

the best way to put it on record is to give you the substance of it. This letter you can put into your annual message to the Grand Lodge, and thus it will go on record.

Under date of July 20, 1859, Brother Woodward wrote that when he was in Baltimore in January, 1840, he, being a member of Jerusalem Encampment, No. 1, Baltimore, was authorized by Past Grand Sire Wildey to open and instruct lodges and encampments while traveling in the Northwest. In St. Louis he was requested to visit Springfield, and took a letter of introduction to Samuel C. Clark. At Alton he saw Brother Starr and the Grand Master of Illinois, Alex. Botkin, who promised their aid. It seems strange to me that Botkin gave him no commission. In Springfield he found Brothers Clark and Jewett, who called a meeting of resident Odd Fellows at Brother "Woodward's room at the hotel in the evening. Eleven came, but onlj' two had credentials for signing a petition for a lodge. The next day, with those two, Clark and Jewett, he called on citizens and found a desire of many for a lodge in that city.

The eleven brothers and those interested obtained a room, which they fitted up as a hall for a lodge. This took three weeks. Brother Woodward then went to Jacksonville for help. The Noble Grand of mini called a meeting to which Brother Woodward stated the case. Thereupon, Brothers Houghton, Putman and Hathaway took with- drawal cards and signed the petition for a lodge. Clark and Jewett had already signed it. Then to Alton he went and got the warrant from Grand Master Botkin. Then to St. Louis for some necessary specialties for an outfit. On his return Brothers Starr and Botkin joined and went to Jacksonville. The three who had taken cards joined the party and all went to Springfield, thirteen volunteers going along. After the insti- tution Brother Woodward stayed eight days. The initiation took two days and evenings. Thirty-five members were in the lodge after the three lent by Illini Lodge, No. 4, had withdrawn. Oflicers were not chosen until the initiations were finished. Many of the members were Masons, of course accustomed to ritual.

The custom of the Order was then to admit no man of over forty- five without a dispensation. Judge L. B. Adams, then W. M. of the Masonic Lodge, was thus admitted. The expedient of taking with- drawal cards to found a new lodge was in those days quite common. Brothers could take cards at one meeting, go off and start the new lodge; draw cards thence after the institution and rejoin at home, all within a week and a day.

Brother Woodward does not give the date of the institution. It was May 19, 1840. There are no Grand Lodge records of that year.

SPURIOUS BOOKS.

Information came to me that in one of the lodges a wholesale busi- ness was being transacted in spurious books purporting to give the ritual of the Order. I sent a special deputy to investigate. The breth- ren at once admitted that the secretary had ordered a dozen books and they were in general use among the members. The secretary did not attempt to excuse himself, but claimed that he did not know he was doing anything wrong. I ordered the secretary to send the books to me. This was promptly done and the same were speedily cremated. It is very strange that members do not know that these fraudulent books are worthless and that they are liable to expulsion for having them in their possession. A few examples should be made of those who defy the law or are so ignorant as not to know that they are doing wrong. As will be seen in a circular letter to lodges printed elsewhere in this report, the new rituals were scarcely dry from the press until lodges were being flooded with circular letters from fake publishing houses offering to sell the new work. I thought it important to warn lodges and mem- bers against the violation of the law and call attention to the severe penalties following purchase or use of these books.

WE NEED SCHOOLS.

It is believed bj^ many who have given special attention to the subject that the time has come for a greatly modified or an entirely new sys- tem of instruction in the work. Heretofore attention has been focused on the secret work. The ritual has been left to the interpretation of the local workers. The result has been ihat the ritualistic representations have been in many of the lodges neglected or distorted from the original meaning. The beautiful lessons of the several degrees are thus lost to the candidate. He does not get the initial inspiration that is so potent in making an enthusiastic Odd Fellow. How to devise a plan for im- proving in this respect is the problem. I had hoped by the aid of Brother Henry A. Stone, chief instructor, and Brother C. M. Turner, his assist- ant, to hold a series of meetings during the past j-ear to put into exe- cution a plan to accomplish the results so much needed.

Owing to the fact that the new ritual was not in force until July 1st, after the season for effective lodge work had closed, it was impos- sible to do anything in that direction during the year past. It would have been a waste of time and labor to work up the old ritual on the eve of its giving way to the new. The new work needs special drill and study. If it can be done under the eye and by the help of expert instructors, much greater progress can be made. I am firmly convinced that growth in Odd Fellowship comes from two sources.

The first and greater is in giving force and effect to fraternal benefi- cence as illustrated in the two Homes and system of benefits involving the visitation of the sick and the burial of the dead. *

Nov?17f 1908. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 39

The second is in making the several degrees real and not a mere form. The candidate should be led to feel that actual scenes are before him and that the work is not mere acting. When this is done every scarlet degree member will go out a missionary into the highways to compel them to come in. In proportion to the perfection in the work will the Order appeal to good men. I believe that this result can Tdc best accom- plished through a system of schools properly distributed throughout the state. These schools should be in charge of a Board of Instructors con- sisting of five well qualified members. The places chosen should be so that representatives of lodges for two or more counties could come together for a two days' session. During the day drill in the ritual, fioor movements and secret work might occupy the time. In the even- ings actual candidates could be procured and the real work given. These schools would be the power houses of the Order after they were once well organized and in successful operation. Genuine enthusiasm would be generated and the persons in attendance would communicate it to the lodges. The Board of Instructors would be more effective if permanent. I would suggest that the first board be named for one, two, three, four and five years, and one thereafter be appointed each year for five years. This plan will involve the appropriation of a sufficient sum of money to compensate the Board and pay their expenses while holding these schools. I feel that the increase in per capita tax by the growth in membership which will result from these meetings will more than make good the outlaJ^ If there shall be a greater zeal and a nearer approach to the ideal in membership, the gain will outweigh any consid- erations of increased expenditure. These suggestions are submitted in the hope they will furnish a basis upon which this or a. better plan for work may be devised.

DEGREES AT CUT RATES.

A very serious infraction of the law was discovered to have taken place in Southwestern Lodge, No. 484. As soon as my attention was called to this I appointed Brother W. H. Dellenback as my special deputy to make a thorough investigation. Later, on the suggestion ol Brother Dellenback, I appointed Brother J. R. Kewley as special deputy to assist. The offense charged was wholesaling Odd Fellowship at very much reduced rates. A large club known as the McKinley Club was formed. The entire membership of this body was taken into the lodge at $5.00 a head. Each paid $14.00 with the understanding that as soon as they were members and certain officers elected a rebate of $9.00 should be made to each one. This large influx of members made it easy for the right officers to be elected. Checks were given as per agreement, and the large sum of $523.00 was paid back to the Mc- Kinley Club members. However, the treasurer carried this sum in his account as cash on hand. Beginning November 19, 1907, the officers

40 JOUKNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] NovITtI'^Id'oS.

Of the lodge, in order to reduce the deficit actually existing and make the cash on hand correspond with the books of the treasurer, certain members were credited with benefits amounting to $93.00. They also made the following entries: February 20, 1908, paraphernalia, $50.00; March 17, 1908, scene, $100.00; March 17, 1908, paraphernalia, $280.00. These amounts, of course, were never paid out. The effort was to cover up the violation of the law in admitting members for less than the legal amount. On receiving this information, I ordered these members to restore the $9.00 illegally paid back to them, most of whom did so. At first I was inclined to arrest the charter, but upon consultation with Brothers Dellenback and Kewley it was concluded to take another course. To have taken up the charter would have worked hardship on many innocent members. In view of this, charges were preferred against the Noble Grand, Financial Secretary and Treasurer, as they were the conspirators who worked the scheme. A change of venue was taken to Adelphi Lodge, No. 8. After due trial, the three were expelled by a practically unanimous vote.

During the investigation of this case it was alleged that other lodges in their zeal for members were cutting the minimum fees fixed by the Grand Lodge. I was not able to ascertain if this claim was true. Lodges and members should bear in mind that no lodge can legally receive members for less than $14.00. When they do so they act at their peril.

WORK TOO MUCH CROWDED.

From frequent observation I ami thoroughly convinced that it is a great mistake for lodges to confer so many degrees in one evening. For the best results to the candidate this should be confined to one degree at one meeting. By doing this the lessons taught make a deep and last- ing impression. When more than one degree is given it is confusing. To pile four degrees on a candidate in one night overwhelms him, and he goes away worn out, bewildered, and often disgusted. Frequently he never returns. It is often that a lodge holds a big meeting, invites teams from neighboring lodges, each to do a degree. This may be fun for the teams, but it is hard on the candidate. This program takes until one or two o'clock the next morning. Before it is all over the workers are worn out, the candidates exhausted, and the meeting is really a failure. The big meeting with other lodges is a good thing, but it should be so planned that one degree can be well conferred, a time for banquet and speeches, and all away by eleven o'clock. I suggest that the Grand Lodge take some action by which the work shall be confined to one degree, except in cases of emergency. No candidate should be given more than one degree in an evening, except by dispen- sation from the Grand Master after good reasons given showing why the work should be hurried.

TRANSFER CERTIFICATES.

One of the most puzzling questions that have come up during the past year has been the new transfer law. Many lodges have had a very indistinct conception of what it really means. Many have con- fused this with the withdrawal card. It may not be amiss to state that the transfer law does not apply to lodges in a city having concurrent jurisdiction. In case a brother desires to change his membership where jurisdiction is concurrent, he must take a withdrawal card. Where he goes from the jurisdiction of one lodge to that of another he can pre- sent his official receipt or other evidence of membership and be elected to membership in that lodge. Then his lodge must apply to the lodge in which he holds his membership for transfer certificate. Wlien this is issued and received he becomes a member of the new lodge. It is quite certain that the lodges are beginning to understand the distinctions much better than they did at first, and yet there is some confusion be- tween the two methods of obtaining membership.

WASHINGTON LODGE CASE.

This was referred to me at the last session of the Grand Lodge. This case involves an unfortunate controversy which originated during the administration of Past Grand Master Humphrey, ran all through the year of Past Grand Master Merrills, and was bequeathed to me. I have given it as thorough consideration as I have been able to do. I find that all the questions involved in the original difficulty were settled before the case came into my hands. Only two points are involved in Document 8, page 344, Journal of 1907.

1st. It is urged that the Grand Master in his communication to the deputy of the lodge, under date of April 9, 1907, used language too severe concerning the lodge. A perusal of this letter shows that there was a condition existing ih "Washington Lodge that called for heroic measures. I do not feel that it is my duty to sit in judgment on the acts and doings of my predecessor. He spent a year in the considera- tion of this case, and during this time the controversy was settled. Since its settlement the lodge has been going on peacefully and is in a prosperous condition. To renew the fight would injure the Order. The Grand Master was undoubtedly under great provocation. Whether he went too far or fell short in his language to the lodge it is not for me to determine.

2d. The other question involved is whether the Grand Master has the power to remove a lodge deputy at his own discretion with or with- out cause. The Sovereign Grand Lodge says: "Lodge Deputy Grand Masters are only the executive agents of the Grand Officers they repre- sent, with a, general supervisory power in the absence of their princi- pals. They have no separate or independent existence, have not been elected to office and are not recognized as officers of any Grand Juris- diction."

42 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS ] Tuesday,

Nov. 17, 1908.

Ovir law puts no restriction on the Grand Master in removal of deputies. The Constitution expressly gives the Grand Master in recess all the power of the Grand Lodge except legislative functions. Removal is administrative and executive, not legislative, and is therefore at the pleasure of the Grand Master. The deputy is appointed by the Grand Master, and no confirmation by the Grand Lodge is necessary. The recommendations of the lodges are merely for the convenience of the appointing power. The Grand Master may disregard this recommenda- tion, and, if he can not find a suitable member of the lodge, go outside and secure a deputy who is a member of some other lodge. My con- clusion, therefore, is that the removal of the deputy of the lodge was within the power of the Grand Master and strictly in accordance with the law of this and the Sovereign Grand Lodge.

DUANE LODGE DEFALCATION.

The facts in this case were fully stated by the Grand Master one year ago. See page 62, Journal 1907. This is a case in court in Chicago. The wheels of justice move very slowly in that great city. Brothers James Ewing Davis and Edward H. Taylor have been in charge, and I recommend that they be continued.

EGYPTIAN LODGE CASE.

On page 50 of the Journal of 1906 will be found a full statement of the facts in the Egyptian Lodge case. A bill in chancery was filed, as directed by my predecessor. On coming to a hearing the court dis- missed the bill, holding that the Grand Lodge had an adequate remedy at law. I asked Past Grand Masters J Otis Humphrey, Henry Phillips and Fred B. Merrills to meet me in Springfield to determine whether or not an appeal should be taken. After due consultation it was decided not to take the case up to the higher courts. I thereupon went to Anna and conferred with Brothers Spillman and Lyerle and endeavored to get a settlement of the claims of the Grand Lodge. No progress has been made. Recently I appointed Brother Geo. W. Young as my special deputy to take up the affair and see if he could untangle the skein. After spending some time in looking into the situation, Brother Young reported no progress, and on his recommendation I have appointed Brother W. D. Lyerle to act as special deputy. Up to the time of making this report I have not been advised of anything further being done. There is due the Grand Lodge about .$500.00, but the puzzle has been to locate the man who has it. The prospects are not very bright, but I recommend that Brother Lyerle be continued as special deputy in charge of the case.

OUR OWN GRAND SIRE.

It was a matter of great pride to me that during most of the year of my service as Grand Master I had a big-hearted, whole-souled

Nmr" n?^9b8. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 43

Illinois Odd Fellow at my elbow as Grand Sire. It is no little dis- tinction for a State to furnish the Chief Executive of the 1,800,000 Odd Fellows of the world. It was a source of unusual pride and satis- faction to us all that Illinois had a man big enough and great enough for the place. Edwin S. Conway will stand out in fraternal history as the peer of any in the line of great men called upon to preside over the destinies of our unrivaled brotherhood.

NEIGHBORING GRAND LODGES.

Most pleasant have been the relations with other Grand Lodges. Fraternal correspondence has been held with the Grand Masters of Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and California and others. In all these the matters under consideration were of minor importance and do not need to be given in detail. Suffice it to say that brethren of the various states have dwelt together in unity and concord.

REFUND FROM CALIFORNIA.

Soon after the close of the last session of the Grand Lodge I took up the question of the balance left from the amount donated to California for the relief of the earthquake sufferers. After considerable correspondence I was informed by the Grand Master under date of February 4th, that they had decided that a portion of this surplus should be used in assisting lodges to rebuild and furnish their halls. I informed them that it was the feeling of our Grand Lodge that the money was not sent with the view of assisting in this direction. Our brethren gave freely and willingly to assist those who were in distress and that they would be willing to have the entire amount go for this purpose if it were needed. On the other hand, they were informed that it was not our intention to assist in rebuilding or furnishing their halls. This view was accepted by the Grand Master of California, and under date of February 26th I was advised that it had been decided by the Relief Committee to return 25 per cent of all the donations made. On April 24th the Grand Secretary of California remitted to our Grand Secretary the sum of $2,418.52. This sum has been placed in the Special Relief Fund, as directed by this Grand Lodge.

ORPHANS' HOME GRADUATING EXERCISES.

One of the most delightful privileges which came to me during the entire year was to attend the graduating exercises at the Home at Lincoln on June 17, 1908. There were eight as bright, happy and at- tractive children as can be found coming from a ward school in any city or village. It was very evident that the school work at the Home is in most efficient hands and in keeping with the excellent environ- ments. I conformed to the beautiful custom that has been observed, and

44 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] Nov?17, IMS.

gave each boy and girl a shining golden eagle as a parting souvenir of the happy life spent in the big Home. With such classes as these going out, it is not surprising that our graduates give such a good ac- count of themselves in the world.

ANNUAL PICNIC AND CORNERSTONE.

The beautiful custom of bringing the children from Lincoln to spend a day at the Old Polks' Home was observed this year as heretofore. The date was June 19, 1908. Fortunately the new building at Mattoon was so far under way that laying the cornerstone could be made the feature of this occasion. With the assistance of the Grand Sire, Brother E. S. Conway; Deputy Grand Master, W. M. Groves; Grand Secretary, John H. Sikes; Grand Treasurer, Thomas B. Needles; President of the Assembly, Sister Margaret E. Weldon; Past Grand Master, J. A. Lucas; the entire Board of Trustees and the Advisory Board, the stone was laid with impressive ceremonies. Thousands of Odd Fellows and Re- bekahs from all parts of the State were present. The Orphans' Home band enlivened the occasion with excellent music. Believing that it was of great importance to have the members of lodges throughout the State know more of the workings of the two Homes, I sent a special appeal to all the lodges asking them to send representatives. A very general response was made to this request and most of the lodges, near and remote, had the story of the Homes carried back to them by their messengers. It was a great day for the children, for the old folks, and for Odd Fellowship in Illinois.

OUR HOMES.

The most sensitive spot in Odd Fellowship in Illinois today is the two Homes. Our great growth in the past ten years is largely attribu- table to this practical demonstration to the outside world that we stand for something more than mere forms, ceremonies and rituals. No mat- ter how excellent the work of conferring degrees may be, no matter how loyal and faithful members are in attendance and lodge duty, there is yet the far higher service of caring for those who cannot care for themselves.

The Old Folks' Home at Mattoon has gone on in its quiet and busy way. The waiting list has assumed formidable proportions. The build- ing authorized one year ago is almost ready for occupancy. When it is thrown open there will be room and to spare. It is not so sure, however, but what the increasing number of those requiring the bounties of our brotherhood will before long make additional room a necessity. This is not likely to come for a few years. When there are further demands there will be no lack of inclination or means to provide for all who need the care and comforts of the Home. Brother and Sister Wyman remain as superintendent and matron. During the past year there has been no friction and no complaint. The eighty members have been cared for with tender hands and loving hearts. It has been my pleasant privilege

nJv'I^^T^^^'oS. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.IT. 45

to attend the meetings of the Board quite frequently. The five brothers who constitute this Board are entitled to the special thanks of the Odd Fellows of the state for their faithful, efficient and unselfish service. All are busy men and give cheerfully of their time and labor for the cause they so much love.

It is a pleasure to testify to the excellent service that the ladies of the Advisory Board have rendered in the management of the Home during the year just closing. They have been unsparing in their labors and full of interest in seeing every detail worked out to the best advan- tage for the comfort and happiness of our infirm and aged brothers and sisters.

The Orphans' Home. No one can measure the good done at Lincoln. About 160 children are there. They stand at the sunrise of life. They will go out as men and women to take their places in the battle lines of the world's conflict. Every element of their natures is cultivated and developed to fit them for future usefulness. The addition of Domestic Science and Manual Training will serve to round out in a practical way the education in the school. With the new buildings and equipment the practical side of their lives will be wrought out in harmony with the moral and the intellectual. The boys will have added to their training in farm life the advantage of the manual arts. Our girls will know how to perform the duties of home life. The practical duties of the house- keeper will especially fit them for the years to come. Our Orphans' Home is in most excellent hands. The Board of Trustees, together with the Advisory Board, could not bring greater care and concern for their own households than these loyal and capable men and women have put into our children's Home. To commend the excellent management under Brother and Sister Lucas would be to attempt to paint the lily or beauti- fy the rose. The relations of their large family are ideal. The good family home is the best place on earth for a child. That is why God ordained and established the home life for children. The next best place is at Lincoln. The hundreds, even thousands, of boys yet to come will consti- tute a cloud of witnesses to testify that the greatest as well as the sweetest is charity. Permit me to congratulate the more than 83,000 Odd Fellows and forty-odd thousand Rebekahs on their great achieve- ment in the Old Folks' and Orphans' Homes. Complete details of the management and the affairs of these will be found in the reports con- tained herein.

SPECIAL RELIEF.

There have been taut four cases during the past year where it was necessary to draw upon the Special Relief Fund. These were as fol- lows:

1st. Brother H. W. Franke, member of Kemper Lodge, No. 596. This case was fully reported last year by the Grand Master. It became necessary after the close of the Grand Lodge to give further assistance

46 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { Nov? 17? 1908.

to this brother who was in distress, and whose lodge was not able to provide for him or give him the assistance needed. On the ISth day of December a warrant for $25.00 was forwarded. This brother has been seriously disabled and has made application for admission to the Home at Mattoon. The application has been granted, and as soon as there is room he will be taken there and given proper attention.

2d. Brother W. H. Henderson, member of Morning Star Lodge, No. 489, Fithian, 111. He was at Mt. Vernon and without means to care for his family. His lodge rendered him some assistance, but was unable to supply all his wants. He was anxious to go to friends at Danville, and I had issued a warrant for $25.00 for his relief. Since then nothing further has been done for him, as I have instructed him and the lodge that they must care for him hereafter.

3d. Brother B. M. Hunsaker, member of Southern Lodge, No. 241, Jonesboro, 111. He was at Murphysboro, 111., where he was cared for by friends. His lodge had paid him all that its financial condition was able to pay. I felt that the Grand Lodge should grant some assistance, and a warrant for $50.00 was drawn in his favor and sent to him. Since then nothing has been heard from his case, and it is presumed that he is being cared for either by his lodge or friends.

4th. J. C. Campbell, member of Wabash Lodge, No. 35, Mt. Carmel, 111. The case of Brother Campbell was submitted to me by Pride of Valley Lodge, No. 435, located at East St. Louis, 111. It appears that Brother Campbell, in the line of his duty, fell the distance of 18 feet and seriously crippled himself so that he was entirely helpless. His lodge came promptly to his relief and paid the benefits required by their by-laws, and also gave considerable sums as voluntary offers to relieve his distress. This was carried to the extent that the lodge could not do more than pay the benefits prescribed in its by-laws. Wabash Lodge has for years been unfortunate in having a great many calls upon its funds. One brother was cared for about ten years and another for five years. The lodge cheerfully rendered assistance, but it reached the point where its treasury was almost entirely depleted. When this ap- peal came to me and all the facts were stated, I came to the conclusion that it was the duty of the Grand Lodge to assist this brother. On the 3d day of January, by my order, a warrant was issued for $75.00, it being understood that this was to be all that was asked for and that would be required. This warrant was sent to Brother Sherman Carr, East St. Louis, 111., where the brother resides. I felt sure that this relief was worthily bestowed.

STATE FAIR HEADQUARTERS.

It has been a custom to have headquarters at the State Fair for the accommodation of Odd Fellows throughout the State. This was done this year as usual. Brother Charles R. Coon, of Sangamon

Lodge, No. 6, of Springfield, was placed in charge. The expense for maintaining the State Fair headquarters was $30.00. A warrant was drawn in payment of same. It is believed that a place for Odd Fellows to meet for information and for social communication ctuite justifies the expenditure of the small sum necessary in maintaining headquarters.

DISPENSATIONS.

Many applications for dispensations have been made. Most of these were granted and permission given as requested. No questions out of the ordinary have arisen in this connection. Most dispensa- tions have been granted to authorize the holding of the usual social functions of the lodges.

NEW SUBORDINATE LODGES.

Notwithstanding the financial depression that has been felt through- out the country during the past year, the organization of new lodges has gone on in about the same ratio as the years before. Care has been exercised in seeing that there was good prospect for a prosperous lodge before dispensation was issued. It is not good policy to allow an organization to be made wherever it may seem to a few members that it might be more convenient for them to attend the meetings. It is no advantage to Odd Fellowship to have weak and struggling lodges. One good, thrifty, progressive organization is worth a half dozen weak and feeble ones. However, it will not do to limit the organization to large places. Oftentimes the more enthusiastic and valuable lodge is found in the hamlet and sometimes even almost in the country. I have granted dispensations for 16 new Subordinate lodges which are now working under dispensation. All of these, with possibly one or two exceptions, are doing excellent work and are recommended for charters. A list of names and numbers, together with their locations and respective dates of institution and the names of the instituting offi- cers, is herein presented.

NEW REBEKAH LODGES.

The Rebekaih lodg-e, when organized on a proper basis, is a great assistance to the Subordinate. The two work beautifully together and Odd Fellowship grows because of their helpfulness to each other. The Rebekah Lodge can be of great assistance to the Subordinate Lodge. I have granted dispensations authorizing the institution of 24 Rebekah Lodges. These have been instituted and are now working under dis- pensation. I recommend them for charters.

LOSSES BY FIRE.

The fire fiend has not been particularly destructive to our work during the past year.

Ridgway Lodge, No. 843, located at Ridgway, 111., suffered a loss of everything about the 12th of January. They had $300.00 of insurance and the loss amountefl to about $600.00. This lodge took a cheerful view of its misfortune and went to work promptly and arranged for a new place of meeting and did not halt in its progress.

N^^ rr! wbs. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 51

Ridgway Jewel Rebekah Lodge, No. 360, located at Ridgway, in Gal- latin county, was destroyed by fire January 7th, 1908, the loss being total but partially covered by insurance. A duplicate charter was issued January 13th, and the lodge is now in working condition.

Henderson Lodge, No. 156, the name of which, has been changed to Rio Lodge, No. 156, located at Rio, in Knox county, had a disastrous fire on April 7th. The ihall and all its contents were totally destroyed. The report does not state as to whether it was adequately insured or not. The lodge has gone on without serious interruption, notwithstanding their loss. A duplicate charter was issued on April 9th.

Meridian Lodge, No. 439, located at Villa Ridge, in Pulaski county, was destroyed by fire February 29th, 1908, the loss being total. A du- plicate charter was issued March 2d, and the lodge resumed business.

Rardin Lodge, No. 861, located at Rardin, in Coles county, was de- stroyed by fire September 26th, 1908. A duplicate charter was immedi- .ately issued, and the lodge is now in working condition.

America Lodge, No. 920, located at Sherman, in Sangamon county, was destroyed by fire September 26, 1908, the loss being total but par- tially covered by insurance. A duplicate charter was immediately issued.

Vandalia Lodge, No. 122, locatetd at Vandalia, in Fayette county, on March 15, 1908, was damaged by fire, and it became necessary for them to move to temporary quarters. Dispensation was accordingly granted, and the brethren have gone in the usual tenor of their way, doing good work as heretofore.

Though the number of lodges injured or destroyed by fire during the past year is small, yet the mere fact that fire is likely to destroy a lodge, furniture and paraphernalia at any time, makes it necessaiy that two things should be done:

1st. The property should be amply insured, so that in case of fire the insurance will replace the property destroyed.

2d. Every lodge room should have in it a fire proof safe in which the records can be kept. While insurance may well restore robes and furniture, the records cannot be replaced.

DEGREES EXEMPLIFIED AT THIS SESSION.

Pursuant to the rule heretofore observed, I have arranged to have all the degrees exemplified at this session. The time fixed is Wednes- day afternoon and evening, Nov. 18, 1908. In view of the operation of the new ritual, this becomes of more than ordinary importance. The lodges W'ho are to do this work are volunteers, and come at their own expense. I am of the opinion that hereafter one or two teams should be chosen for their eflficiency in the work and brought here- at the expense of the Grand Lodge. Two things have been sought this time.

1st. Every representative should have an opportunity to see the work done. For this reason the state arsenal has been secured, where there is ample room for all.

2d. It is desired that this work be put on in strict accordance with the new ritual, in force July 1st. To make sure of this. Brother Henry A. Stone, Chief Examiner and Instructor, was directed to visit each of the lodges doing the work and give them full instructions. This has been done, and it is predicted that the results will be highly satisfactory. The time fixed for the beginning is 5 p. m., instead of 7: 30, as heretofore. By doing this, two degrees can be exemplified and then a recess taken and then the other two put on. Both the workers and those who witness the work will be relieved from the long siege and the late hours made necessary by the old plan.

The lodges participating this year are as follows:

The Initiatory Degree, Kenney Lodge, No. 557, Kenney.

The First Degree, Althea Lodge, No. 619, Elgin.

HOME LIBRARIES.

During the past year not very much has been done toward the libraries at the two Homes except the placing and adjusting of the books as they have heretofore been furnished. Appended hereto will be found the report of the library committee.

Chicago, 111., Oct. 21, 1908. Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master I. O. O. F., Decatur, 111.

Dear Brother: — As the time is drawing near for another session of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, I desire to make a brief statement of the work accomplished by your Library Committee. A room was set apart for us in the Grand Lodge Secretary's office, where one or more of us were stationed the day before and during the session of the Grand Lodge^at which time we received 877 books, which we assorted, packed, and forwarded to the separate Homes such as were most suitable for the young and old. The donation made by Brother Varnum Hull, of Home Lodge, No. 416, last year and forwarded by this committee amounted to volumes 1,020, and at the last session 877, making a sum total of 1,897. In addition to this there were quite a large number sent direct to the Homes by lodges and individuals, of which we have no account.

The number of Rebekah Lodges contributing 120

The number of Subordinate Lodges contributing 112

Total lodges contributing 232

This, out of a total of over 1,700 lodges all told, is a very small percentage of lodges, but last year was the first, and if the various lodges are informed through a circular from the Grand Secretary, I have no doubt the number of contributions will be much larger this year, and with a liberal contribution it may not be necessary to continue this committee for some years to come.

You will use your own judgment about having this report or something similar sent out to all of the lodges. Hoping you have had a pleasant and prosperous year, and that your labors may not have been so arduous as to unfit you for future, I remain,

Truly and fraternally yours,

J. L. BARNUM, P.G.M. P. S. I might say that all books are credited to the lodges to which the donations belong.

OFFICIAL EXAMINERS AND INSTRUCTORS.

Through the efficient service of Brother Henry A. Stone, Chief of Examiners and Instructors, and his very capable assistant. Brother

54 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS \ Nov'.^^tI'WoS.

Chester M. Turner, most excellent work has been done during the past year in this direction. The reports are so much in detail and so thoroughly cover the ground that I append them hereto and commend Ihem to your careful consideration.

Aurora, 111., October 20, 1908. Hon. Owen Scott, G. M., Decatur, 111.

Dear Grand Master: — I have the honor to report to you this, my 20th annual stewardship as Official Instructor, and my first year as Chief of Examiners and Instructors of the Jurisdiction of Illinois, I.O.O.F.

There has been a decided renewal of activity on the part of the commissioned Instructors, and the lodges are awakening to the fact that their officers are being rotated through the chairs regardless of qualifications and established law. When the Noble Grand and Vice Grand-elect are installed without complying with our good and whole- some laws, that lodge, the Order and its members must suffer for necessary information. Hence the fact of the hundreds of good Odd Fellows, who, through no fault of their own, are sadly deficient in the very things which, by right, belong to them.

You, as Grand Master, must be commended in endeavoring to en- force the law, and rauch good has come from it. I trust your successors may continue along the same line until we have 100,000 Odd Fellows in Illinois who could pass an intelligent examination when visiting out- side their own lodge or jurisdiction.

Our lodges and our membership are in need of instruction now more than in years past, owing to the many changes from the old Ritual to the new one in effect July 1, 1908. It is not alone the "Un- written work" that should be taught, but the "Ritualistic work," the proper and intelligent rendition of each and every beautiful, impres- sive charge and lesson should be so given that he who received them may thoroughly understand the lessons they are intended to convey. To this end I am thoroughly of the opinion that the Grand Lodge should formulate some plan whereby the lodges may receive thorough instruc- tions. As a financial business proposition the Grand Lodge can well afford to appropriate sufficient funds whereby the Grand Master, or his Official Instructors, would be paid their mileage and per diem to hold several schools throughout the State. The lodges undoubtedly would be very glad to bear all other expenses. If this, or a similar plan, could be carried out, the increase in membership, which would be inevitable through good work, would mudh more than compensate for su.ch expense paid by the Order at large through the Grand Lodge. That the lodges are in sore need of such instructions cannot be ques- tioned. The Official Instructors are willing to do their full duty, but they cannot afCord to give their time and expenses without some re- muneration. I hope you will call the attention of the Grand Lodge to the necessity of this work, as you so well know its needs.

A total of 32 Examiners and Instructors and 58 Instructors; total 90. This is an increase over 1907 of 2 Examiners and 23 Instructors.

With the commissions sent each of the foregoing, the following letter was addressed:

Aurora, 111., 190S. Dear Sir and Brother:

I am sending you herewith a commission as Official Instructor in the 'Unwritten Work' of the I. O. O. F. issued by the Grand Master of the Jurisdiction of Illinois, through the reoommendation of the under- signed.

As the newly appointed Chief of Examiners and Instructors, I de- sire to express my deep regret that Brother Walter E. Carlin, P. G. R., who has filled this office so long and faithfully, felt he must surrender the position. It has indeed been a pleasure to work with him as as- sistant so many years, and I regret the relation must be severed.

It will be my aim to not only keep up the present standard of the work, but, if possible, to place Illinois Odd Fellowship on a still higher plane of efficiency.

In issuing this commission, it is with the hope that you will use it for the 'Good of the Order.' That you will impart your knowledge of the work to others who maj' desire to acquire it. While this is a re- ward of merit and a certificate of proficiency, it carries with it the injunction to work, so you may have something to report, as required by law. Your attention is called to the present law on this subject as found in Section 226 of Merrills' Code, towit: 'Any Past Grand who is appointed OflJicial Examiner or Official Instructor shall report fully all his acts as such Examiner or Instructor to the Chief of Instructors, on or before the 15th day of October of each year,' etc.

Past Grand Master Merrills reports that he received but three re- ports during his administration, and two of these were from the Chief and Assistant Chief, so only one of those receiving appointment com- plied with the law.

58 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS |_ .Tuesday,

Nov. 17, 1908.

Every Brother holding a commission this year will be expected

to make a report, and to this end you will receive a reminder about the

first of October. It is my wish that you may be able to report some

good work done. Let us all work together for the uplift of our Order.

Thanking' you in advance for your co-operation, allow me to remain

Yours fraternally,

HENRY A. STONE, Chief Examiner and Instructor.

February 5th and 6th I personally conducted a school of instruction with Hickory Grove Lodge, No. 230. This for the benefit of this Lodge, holding four sessions. The interest was good and several brothers nearly perfected themselves in the work.

The following is a copy of report to you under date April 4th, 1908: Hon. Owen Scott, G.M. Decatur, 111.

Dear Gcand Master — On the 27th of February the Deputies' Associa- tion of Subordinate Lodges, I. O. O. P., of Cook County, sent to every Subordinate Lodge in Cook County the following communication, to- gether with your indorsement of the same: To the NoUe Ch-and, Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges:

Past Gi'and Master Henry A. Stone, Chief of Examiners and In- structors, has kindly accepted an invitation to hold schools of instruc- tion as follows: '

"With Nonpareil Lodge, No. 331, Monday evening, March 16th.

With Excelsior Lodge, No. 22, Tuesday evening, March 17th.

With Silver Link Lodge, No. 521, Wednesday evening, March 18th.

With Union Lodge, No. 9, Thursday evening, March 19th.

All of these meetings are to be held in the Lodge hall corner Clark and Washington streets, and will immediately follow the regular Lodge business, not later than 9 p. m.

These schools have been especially arranged for the benefit of the Noble and Vice Grand elect, so that they may be better fitted to un- dergo the examination prior to installation.

But the schools are open to any member of the Order that desires to avail himself of this chance to acquire the work. We trust that every Noble Grand and Vice Grand elect in Chicago will make it a point to attend as many of these schools as possible, for his own benefit as well as the benefit of his Lodge. Fraternally,

Attest: W. L. FELKNER, President.

FRED CALL, Secretary.

Office of Owen Scott, Grand Master. Decatur, 111., Feb. 27, 1908. I hereby most heartily commend these schools to your ' favorable consideration. I especially desire that the incoming Noble and Vice

No\\\^'!^1908. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 59

Grands may avail themselves of Lliis. unusual opportunity to perfect themselves in the work prior to installations.

Fraternally,

OWEN SCOTT, Grand Master.

Secretary will please read this to Lodge and hand to Noble Grand- elect.

It gave me pleasure to respond to this fiall, and I beg to submit to you officially my report.

There are 115 Subordinate Lodges in Cook County, so if every Noble and Vice Grand elect had done as you requested there should have been 230 of them in attendance. Those who did respond were 36 Noble Grands and 25 Vice Grands elect, representing 44 Lodges, as follows:

Numbers 8, 22, 42, 55, 80, 110, 113, 141, 214, 240, 261, 281, 299, 319, 328, 329, 331, 350, 402, 404, 416, 432, 450, 477, 479, 521, 531, 544, 561, 601. 013, 626, 665, 698, 717, 822, 825, 858, 909, 917, 933.

In addition, there were a large number of Odd Fellows present, and the interest shown by those present indicated a strong desire to comply with the law.

Before instructions were given, each officer elect was handed a card, on which the following was printed:

Date 1908.

Noble Grand Elect.

Vice Graiid Elect.

Number of Lodge

Location of Lodge

- Can you now open and close the Lodge without use of Ritual?

If not, will you qualify to do so before you are installed?

Are you proficient in the unwritten work?

Give name and address of your Lodge Deputy

This card was properly filled and collected each evening, so that each officer elect made his report. The result of this shows the follow- ing replies to the questions, towit:

Can you now open and close the Lodge without use of Ritual ?

Forty answered yes, and twenty-one no.

If not, will you qualify to do so before you are installed?

Eighteen answered yes.

Are you now proficient in the unwritten work?

Seven answered yes and fifty-four answered no.

By the above you will appreciate to a considerable extent the la- mentable condition of our Order so far as the unwritten work is con- cerned, and the necessity of instructing the lodges. If the lodges would awaken to the realization of their needs, they would ask the instructors to thoroughly post them; and our instructors, while few this year, would willingly respond.

60 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ' Nov?!?? 1908.

I was ably assisted at these meetings by all of the Official Examiners and Instructors in Cook county, namely: J. R. Kewley, P.G.M.; Geo. W. Harris, J. E. Miner, W. L. Ford and S. A. W. Lundbeck, to each of whom I desire to express my thanks.

There should be at least fifty instructors in Cook county, and hope it may not be long 'before we can secure that many. That the lodges and officers need their assistance is very evident.

There were but three meetings held, as on the last night Union Lodge had so much work to do in conferring degrees by the Degree Staff of Cook County Lodge that no time was left for the school, bu: the three meetings held, I feel quite sure, will bear fruit, and more of these schools will be called for and held in the future, and especially after the lodges shall have the new rituals. The many courtesies ex- tended to me at these meetings by the Deputies' Association, the lodges and the officers-elect I fully appreciate, as well as your hearty com- mendation of the work.

Sincerely and fraternally,

HENRY A. STONE, Chief Examiner and Instructor.

May 4th and 5th. I conducted a school of instruction for and v.'iti, Sterling Lodge, No. 174, Sterling, 111. This was a very successful meet- ing, and each and every brother present gave the work the closest at- tention, and it resulted in much good to the lodge.

July 10th. Sent a letter to the ninety instructors commissioned, explaining to them the new "key" to the changed unwritten work, in effect July 1st, indicating how they could acquire the correct work through the said "keJ^"

October 1st, the following letter was mailed to each instructor:

Aurora, 111., Oct. 1, 1908. Dear Sir and Brother:

This is simply a reminder that, according to the commission you hold as instructor in the "unwritten work," there will be due at my office by the 15th of this month, a report of your work during the year. I hope to receive this promptly and on time. In this report please static how many schools of instruction you have held, if any, and the results. How many brothers examined, etc., so that I may correctly report to the Grand Master progress made. I especially desire that as many of the instructors as possible arrange to be in attendance at the annual school of examinations, to be held in Springfield on Monday, the 16th of No- vember, for the purpose of passing examination in the revised work, anrf all examiners and instructors to assist in the examination of others.

No-^fllMh^. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 61

This school will commence at 9 a. m. on that date and continue all day. No commissions will be issued next year except to those who com- ply with the law in sending in report. If no work has been done, re- port accordingly.

Thanking you for past assistance, and hoping for a continuance of same loyal support, allow me to remain

Sincerely and fraternally,

HENRY A. STONE, Chief Examiner and Instructor.

In response to the foregoing, have received reports from twenty-four examiners and forty-three instructors, total, sixty-seven. One has re- moved from the state, and one dead, which lea.ves but twenty-one non- reporting. While this is too many, it is a decided improvement over former years.

These reports show that the number of schools held was 29

Those reporting having instructed their own lodge only I'J

Those who had nothing to report 'i'

Assisted other lodges, but not regular school ^0

Nearly all these reports show a lack of interest on the part of the lodges and officers.

Exemplification of the Degrees at Session of Grand Lodge.

I officially visited the lodges designated by you to confer the de- grees according to the revised ritual, at the coming session of Grand Lodge, to examine them in the work, but as this work is not completed, cannot give a full report. Can assure you, however, that whatever de- grees are exemplified at this time will be approved by you and the Grand Lodge.

Death of Walter E. Carlin, P.G.R. The jurisdiction of Illinois has suffered a great loss this year in the death of our co-worker, Walter E. Carlin, P.G.R., who for so many years was at the head of all instructions in Grand Lodge, Grand Bn- c?-mpment, and subordinate lodges and encampments. It is to Brother Carlin, more than to any other Grand Representative to the S. G. L. that our jurisdiction owes its present efficiency in the work. It has been my pleasure and benefit to be for years his associate and assistant, and it was a disappointment that he declined the honor of reappointment on account of his rapidly failing health. For eighteen years Brother Carlin served this jurisdiction in the councils of the S. G. L. to the credit of himself and the great state he represented. His wise counsel and asso- ciations with his fellow instructors will not soon be forgotten.

In closing this report, I desire to express most sincere thanks tr >u. Grand Master, for the confidence you reposed in me by giving m*-

the appointment as Chief of the Instructors, and for your ready acqui- escence in the many suggestions made, and for your uniform courtesies ' extended. I also desire to congratulate you on the splendid achieve- ments of your administration. My thanks are extended to Brother Chester M. Turner, P.G.R., assistant chief, as well as to every brother who holds a commission, for his loyal support. Trusting that the com- ing year may be full of splendid results in Odd Fellowship, and espec- ially in Illinois, I beg to remain

Sincerely and fraternally,

HENRY A. STONE, Chief of Examiners and Instructors.

Cambridge, 111., November 6, 1908. Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master I.O.O.F. of Illinois, Decatur, 111.

Dear Brother Scott: — As Assistant Chief of Instructors by your appointment, I desire to present to you this, my report. It will be im- possible for me to go into detail, and I presume it will not be neces- sary.

I have visited a number of lodges during the year and have assisted a number of the brothers throughout the state in learning the unwritten work, especially since the changes in the same. I have also examined several brothers and forwarded their names to you, through the Chief • of Instructors, for your records. In a number of cases I have urged upon the Lodges perfection in the unwritten work and have held a number of schools in the unwritten work after the close of Lodge. The Chief of Instructors has been so active that it has been difficult to keep pace with him during the past year, and his activity especially is re- sponsible for much additional perfection in the unwritten work. I believe that more brothers throughout the state are now familiar with the unwritten work than there ever have been before, and I am sure that this adds greatly to their interest and to the general interest in our beloved Order. Tours fraternally,

CHESTER M. TURNER,

Asst. Chief Instructor.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS.

In pursuance of the rules in force regulating Endowment Funds, the Board of Trustees have made two loans on real estate. Warrants were drawn as recommended by the Board. The following report shows the facts on w^hich these investments are based: Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master I.O.O.F., Decatur, 111.

Dear Sir and Brother: The Board of Trustees of the Endowment

No^T7^^19'08. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, LO.O.P. 63

Funds of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home and the I.O.O.F. Old Folks' Home of the State of Illinois, respectfully report that the Board of Trustees have examined two certain mortgages and coupon notes se- cured thereby, on unincumbered real estate, being improved farm lands in the county of Hancock, Illinois.

One mortgage by Lewis N. Garner and wife to Sharp & Berry Bros., and owned by Sharp and Berry Bros., of Carthage, Illinois, in the sum of $3,000.00, with interest at the rate of 5^/4 per cent per annum, payable annually on December 19th, as indorsed by five coupon notes of $165.00 each, and indorsed to net the holder 5% per cent per annum from the date of purchase of said loan.

The description of the land securing the payment of said notes and mortgage is as follows:

The northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section three (3), Township three (3) north, range six (6) west of the 4th P. M., and the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 34, Township 4 N., R. 6 west of the 4th P. M.

The above land is worth $8,000.00.

Also, one mortgage by Harriet V. Davis to Sharp & Berry Bros., of Carthage, Illinois, and owned by them, in the sum of $2,200.00, with in- terest at the rate of 5% per cent per annum, payable annually on December 20th, as indorsed by a principal note for $2,200.00 and five coupon notes of $121.00 each, and indorsed to net the holder 5% per cent per annum from the date of purchase of said loan.

The description of the land securing the payment of said last named notes and mortgage is as follows:

The east half of the southwest quarter of Section two (2), except two acres off the south end thereof; also the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of said Section two (2), except a strip of land nVs feet in width off the north end of the east 38 rods thereof; also a tract beginning at the southeast corner of the north half of the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of said Section two (2), thence run- ning west 60 feet, thence in a northeasterly direction 100 feet to inter- sect the west line of the east half of said quarter section, thence south to place of begining; all in Township six (6) north, range six (6) west of the 4th P. M.

The value of above land is at least $5,000.00.

Abstracts of records, showing title to above property in the mort- gagers, and opinion of competent attorneys confirming the title was presented.

Also special contract of guaranty signed by Sharp & Berry Bros., which provides that if for any reason these mortgages ever have to be foreclosed, and the land sold to pay debt, if it does not bring enough to pay debt, interest and costs, they will make good the deficiency.

In the matter of both of these loans your Trustees have com-

plied Avith the requirements of the Grand Lodge, and, in our opinion, the loans are safe and desirable investments of the Endowment Funds. In view of the above, you will please cause warrants to be issuea on the Grand Treasurer, one payable to Sharp & Berry Bros., for $2,200.00 from the Endowment Fund of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home, and also one for $3,000.00 from the Endowment Fund of the I. O. O. F. Old Folks' Home, to said Sharp & Berry Bros., and forward the said war- rants to Alfred Orendorff, Chairman of said Board of Trustees of said Endowment Funds.'

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.

We have been specially favored during-' the past year in the effic- iency of the Committee on Finance. The three brothers are experts in the work under their control. Every, detail of the financial features of this Grand Lodge passes before them in closest scrutiny. The system for receiving, caring for and paying out the large sums collected each year has well-nigh reached perfection. Much credit for this is due to the capable men who have acted upon this committee. Herewith I submit the four reports of the Finance Committee, giving full detailed information.

The following lodges were delinquent in their annual and semi- annual reports May 1, 1908.

11, 101, 165, 227, 261, 275, S27, 560, 676, 685, 696, 740, 774, 785, 804, 839, 863, 876, 950.

The following lodges were delinquent in their annual reports May 1, 1908:

32, 38, 39, 74, 270, 367, 443, 465, 482. 515, 6G4, 760, 772, 806, 859, 886, 945.

The following lodges were delinquent in their semi-annual reports May 1, 1908: 657, 912.

The following lodges were short in their remittance. May 1, 1908: 52— $1.35; 101—32.00; 415— $1.00; 477— 45c; 486— 45c; 509— 45c.

The following lodge was delinquent May 1, 1908, in the matter of capitation tax: 270.

The following lodges have been closed: 168, 317, 687, 705, 762, 802.

The following lodges, which were delinquent November 1, 1907, in the matter of capitation tax and reports, are still delinquent. 181, 351, 424, 444, 481, 737, 851, 854, 882.

The following lodges hare been consolidated, viz.:

Home Lodge, No. 416, and Eclipse Lodge, No. 404, under the name of Home Lodge, No. 416.

Belknap Lodge, No. 251, and Center Point Lodge, No. 811, have been consolidated under the name of Belknap Lodge, No. 251.

New Citj- Lodge, No. 849, and Rochester Lodge, No. 268, have been consolidated under the name of Rochester Lodge, No. 268.

The Finance Committee regrets that it must report so many lodges delinquent. Our experience has been that every six months almost one hundred and fifty lodges tire delinquent in the matter of capitation tax and reports. This negligence on the part of the lodges adds much un- necessary labor to the work of the Finance Committee, as well as the Grand Secretary. The lodges are allowed thirty daj'^s in which to make their reports and remittances, and this, we think, should be ample.

Nm^T7!^9b8. i" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 67

Quite a number of lodges are chronic delinquents, and this is doubtless due to their inability to pay rather than an inclination not to pay. In such cases we would recommend that the Grand Master appoint special deputies to visit these lodges and end,eavor to assist them, so that they may be strengthened, and thus enabled to be of greater benefit to their members and of greater usefulness to the Order.

We would also recommend that the Grand Master make a special appeal to all lodges to make remittances and reports to the Grand Secretary promptly.

We are especially gratified to report that the receipts of the sly months, amounting to the sum of $59,733.34, were the largest in the history of the Order. Fraternally submitted.

Second report, by Bro. George F. Koester, of No. 601.

To the Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Your Committee on Finance respectfully reports as follows:

We visited the Orphans' Home at Lincoln on Friday, Oct. 2d, 1908. We found the building of the heating plant in which the Manual Train- ing_ School is to be located, as also that of the Domestic Science build- ing, well under way, and same will no doubt be completed before cold 'Weather sets in.

The heating plant will 'be equipped temporarily to supply heat for the main building until the plant is fully completed. The other build- ings will be heated with their old plants until this is done.

The two new buildings, when completed, will add greatly to the efficiency of our home.

The question of water for fire protection is a matter that should receive early consideration by the Board.

The Home at present has 149 children enrolled, 84 boys and 65 girls, and 5 additional applications approved, with 12 more applications on file.

We desire to compliment the management and also the superin- tendent and matron on the excellent condition of the Home.

During the past year the superintendent. Dr. Lucas, has received from lectures delivered by him $225.00, which has been turned into the Endowment Fund of the Home; also $21.00 from Orphans' Home ex- cursion.

There have also been donations from sundry Rebekah lodges to the Domestic Science Building Fund amounting to $73.00, which was turned over to Mrs, Mary P. Miller, Secretary Rebekah Assembly; and to Man- ual Training Building Fund amounting to $34.40, which was turned ov^r to J. H. Sikes, Grand Secretary.

Third report, by Bro. Cicero J. Lindly, P.G.M. To the Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Your Committee on Finance would respectfully report as follows: That we visited the Old Folks' Home at Mattoon on Saturday, Oct. 3d, and met with the Trustees and Advisory Board of the Home. We found the Home in good condition, conversed with some of the occupants of the Home, and they are all well satisfied and contented with their sur- roundings. It is a pleasure to us to see the harmony and businesslike manner with which the Board transacts its business.

The new building, which is fire-proof throughout, is nearing com- pletion, and is another milestone in the history of the Home. Your committee is heartily in accord with the decision of the Board of having a fire escape placed on the old building at the earliest possible moment.

There are at present 79 occupants at the Home; 63 brothers and 16 sisters, with 11 applications pending, so that you can see that the addi- tional quarters have been arranged for none too soon.

THE ODD FELLOWS HERALD.

No real live Odd Fellow can afford to miss the regular semi-monthly visits of this journal devoted to the three-linked fraternity. Its column of "Questions Answered" is worth much to lodges in carrying on their business. While these answers are not official, they are nevertheless accurate in stating what the law is. The Herald is one of the most useful agencies in promoting and maintaining Odd Fellowship, and should have an even wider reading than it now has.

VALUABLE ASSISTANCE.

One of the pleasant features of the past year has been the great assistance rendered by Sister Margaret E. Weldon, the President of the Rebekah Assembly. Many perplexing problems have necessarily arisen in connection with our Rebekah branch. These have been solved almost exclusively by Sister Weldon. Believing that the President should be so in fact, as well as in name, I have turned over to her for answer all correspondence pertaining to the Rebekah lodges. In almost all cases she has straightened out the kinks and complexities so that harmony and good feeling have prevailed. Her work has been most helpful and satisfactory, and the present excellent condition of Rebek- ahdom is largely due to her wise and capable leadership.

The service of Brother John H. Sikes, Grand Secretary, has been of invaluable assistance to me. His familiarity with all details, his willing- ness to help, and his capability, have lifted many a load from my shoulders and rendered my task far easier.

CONCLUSION.

I have reached the end of a pleasant journey. It has been a busy year and much labor has been crowded into it, but it has all been a labor of love. The brothers and sisters have vied with each other in

No^f nf 1908. !" GRAND LODiJE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F, 73

good words and works. Wherever I have gone the spirit of fraternity has prevailed. Great respect has been shown because all highly es- teem the great office I have endeavored to fill. That I have come far short of the full measure of success needs not to be told. Yet, by the cordial co-operation and active assistance of this loyal brotherhood, I have been able to reach a modicum of useful achievements. I am under profound obligations to many on whom I have called during the year for valuable assistance. These willing services have been so

numerous that it would not be possible to mention all those who have been so helpful. To all who have in any way assisted me in the per- formance of the arduous duties and made my work a joyous privilege I render most sincere thanks. As I am about to lay down th% gavel, the symbol of authority, I have the glad consciousness that it is to be taken up and wielded by one who is in every way worthy and well qualified to receive it. I bespeak for my successor your heartiest sympathy and assistance. If this comes to him with the same prodigal- ity that it has been given to me, h© will come to the end of his service with success and delight. Our aim, 100,000 members, loyal men and brothers, Will speedily be realized.

To Hon Owen Scott, Grand Master of I.O.O.F., Decatur, Illinois:

Dear Sir and Brother: — It is with great pleasure we herewith submit to you, and through you to the Grand Lodge, the Sixteenth Annual Re- port of the Board of Directors of the L O. O. F. Orphans' Home at Lin- coln, Illinois.

We indeed feel great pride in this Home, which has become the greatest monument of our Order; not a monument to and for the dead, but for the living, progressive Odd Fellow and Rebekah — a Home erected to Him and dedicated for the protection and education of our deceased brothers' children.

We trust the membership of this great jurisdiction will carefully read and study what this report may contain; there may be something therein that does or does not meet your approval. We assure you and the entire membership of our Order that the business and welfare of the Home has received our most earnest attention.

Our aim and desire has been to so conduct the Home that it shall stand as a home in truth as well as in name, and be justly pointed to as an everlasting monument to the spirit of Odd Fellowship.

To our Superintendent and Matron, and teachers who have charge of our children, we should return grateful thanks for their faithful, con- scientious service.

How to Gain Admittance.

Lodges or guardians wishing to place in the Home children who are eligible to its benefits, should apply to the superintendent. Dr. J. A. Lu- cas, at Lincoln, Illinois, for a blank form of application, this to be filled and signed by the guardian and the Lodge (under seal) of which the father was a member at the time of his death. The application should be returned to the superintendent, who will present it to the Board of Directors for consideration at their first meeting thereafter.

All applications coming before the Board are carefully considered as eligibility and individual merits demand.

Lodges or guardians are expected to provide children with at least one change of clothing before sending them to the Home.

School, Music and Commencement.

The work of this year has been quite satisfactory. Eight of our boys and girls completed our course of study and were graduated. This year, as last, the work in the grades has been somewhat strengthened by the addition of certain studies that will very materially aid the children when they are admitted to the High school.

Tihe vocal music, as added to the course of study of last year, has been a marked improvement, and we can already see the great benefit to the children.

Grand Master Owen Scott delivered the class address, which was very practical, drawn out of a long experience of his own life. The boys and girls who heed his advice cannot fail to succeed. The auditorium was packed to the limit, and the address was as much enjoyed by the visitors and friends as by the class. The Grand Master presented the class with their diplomas, as well as giving to each of them a $10.00 gold piece, in token of love of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Secretary, in his inimitable style, greatly pleased the class and audience with a few choice words.

The teachers for the coming year are: Miss Nina Petrie, Miss Flora Sheets, Miss Pearl Sanderson, Miss Huldah Peters and Miss Adele Ritter.

Domestic Science.

Almost a full year of this most invaluable addition to our work has been completed. While the rooms in the East Cottage, temporarily used, were far too small to do the best work, we succeeded beyond our ex-

pectations, and believe that no work in the Home has ever been of more benefit to our girls than this. This year Ave expect to do far belter work, - as our quarters will be ample, and we shall have the additional advantage of the experience of last year. Miss Ritter has been retained for the worli of another year, and we certainly think we could not have found a bet- ter one than she for the place. (See new buildings for account of Do- mestic Science building).

Manual Training.

A good room has been provided for the department of manual train- ing, and at no distant day we expect to have this department in full swing, thereby giving our boys the same splendid advantages that we have already provided for our girls. It will perhaps take a full year to get this department in good running order, but that we shall succeed in bringing out this important work we doubt not.

Religious and Moral Training.

As in the past, each child coming into the Home is allowed to select its own church preference under the direction of the guardian. We have our own Sunday school during the school year, which is considered one of the best in the city. The highest aim of the Home is to develop in each child a personality and individuality all its own. The children are taught that right Is might, and that character is worth more than all else.

The Health of the Home.

At this writing there is not a sick child in the Home. This state- ment may need an explanation, however, as we have several children who are not perfect in health. Many of them come to us with chronic troubles, such as catarrhal, kidney, throat, eye. ear, scrofulous troubles, and so forth. Many are predisposed to tubercular tendencies. Save these, the Home is in splendid health on the first day of October, the beginning of the new year.

Ernest Caldwe'I.

The sad messenger, death, came to take from us little Ernest Cald- well, on the evening of the tenth day of September, 1908. Ernest came to us on July 27th from Warren Lodge, hence he was in the Home but a short time. A complication of diseases soon did their work of tearing down the little body, for he was sick but a week. A little while before he took so very sick, the good doctor told us he had scarlet fever. It was, however, a sporadic case, and none of the other children took the dread- ed malady. Ernest leaves a sister and brother here to mourn his loss; This is the fifth death since the opening of the Home, and we devoutly

Nov. 17, 1908. f GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 81

pray that we may be spared from the visitor that is no respecter of per- sons, and who in time comes to us all.

The Band.

Wilfred Jayne has met every expectation as a capable leader, and the band has been better than ever. This work has reached a high state of proficiency under the splendid leadership of Prof. Geo. D. Barnard. Some one has said that it is the "best juvenile band in the world." Of course, it does not require much persuasion to make us coincide with that statement. The demands for the band are so great that it is im- possible to answer one call in every ten made, but, as in the past, the band will respond to all the calls possible where it does not interfere with the v/ork in the Home, yve only wish that we had the time to meet every call, for we are quite sure, as seen by past experience, that many become Odd Fellows through the influence of this excellent mu- sical organization.

Prof. Barnard has removed from Lincoln and in his stead we have secured the services of Prof. H. O. Merry, professor of music in Lin- coln College. He has large experience and has already done good work for the boys. Indeed, we expect to have a better band than ever.

Repairs.

The usual repairs have been made, and the tauildhigs and grounds are in good condition.

New Buildings.

As all of the Brothers and Sisters know, at the last Grand Lodge the Assembly voted us $5,000.00 toward the erection of the Domestic Science School Dining Hall, the Grand Lodge gave us $15,000.00 for a central heating plant, and $5,000.00 for the Manual Train- ing School. The Board have endeavored to the best of their ability to use this money wisely, and have expended it most judiciously, that they might keep within appropriations, which is no easy thing to do, for obvious reasons. When, how- ever, the members of the Order see what has been done, we are quite sure that they will Indorse the expenditure of the money and ap- prove of the buildings erected. We hope that the Grand Dodge will, in a body, decide to take part in the dedicatory exercises at some time during the session of the Grand Lodge of 1908.

Manual Training, Central Heating Plant and Laundry Building.

This building is nearing completion and we hope to have it fin- ished so that all members of the Grand Lodge and Assembly may be present at its dedication, along with that of the Domestic ScieT-.cs

Building. Here we expect to give the boys a start in the proper tra'.i- Ing for a trade. The iheating plant is a great necessity, and with the new Heine boiler, made possible through personal efforts of Gen. Jamea Henry Harris, we shall be able to provide for a long felt want. But not less is the need of a new laundry. Our equipment is not sufficient to meet the larger needs of our growing family, hence we shall hope to be able, with the addition of some new machinery, to meet the re- quirements.

The building itself is well adapted to its use and is substan- tial in its structure, as well as beautiful in architectural design.

Assembly.

The Board feel exceedingly grateful to the Assembly for their gsn- erous donation of $5,000.00 toward the erection of a Domestic Science Building and Dining Hall. Without this gift it would have been im- possible at this time to have carried out their plans. We feel quite as- sured, however, that there will be good returns in the way of equipment to our girls that come in no other way, and that the good sisters of the great state of Illinois will have just cause for gratitude in the develop- ment of a love for better home-keeping. Last year was a great success, but we are sure the present one will be still better, as our facilities will be superior in the new building.

Christmas and Holidays.

We desire to thank our friends for their cash gifts. They are as follows :

O. F. & O. H. Society, Suburban Lodge, Sewing Circle Monmouth R. L., Schamo Lodge, Sophia R. L., Orphans' Home R. L., Koerner Lodge, Mineral Springs R. L., Martha Washington R.

Conclusion.

Another mile stone has passed in the journey of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home.

Ending, as it does, the sixteenth year of its life in peaceful, quiet prosperity, there is little material for the chronicle of any event striking or exciting.

We desire to thank the members of the Grand Lodge and of the Rebekah Assembly for their liberal appropriations in order that we may erect suitable buildings and properly equip them, that our children may be comfortable and happy.

By your appropriations we have been enabled, since our last report, to erect a building known as the Power House, in which is installed the Manual Training School, where our boys are taught to combine practical instruction with theoretical knowledge, and be enabled to work with the hand as well as the brain.

Another building of equal importance has also been erected — a dining hall and Domestic Science Building. In this building is estab- lished the School of Domestic Science, where the girls are taught to be useful as well as ornamental.

We close this report, hoping our noble Order in this Jurisdiction, which has so generously cared for our needs in the past, will still con- tinue to supply the wants of our Orphans' Home in all the years to come.

INTRODUCTORY

Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master I. O. O. F. of Illinois:

In compliance with that part of our duty prescribed by the Grand Lodge calling for an annual report from the Trustees of the I. O. O. F. Old Folks' Home, we take pleasure in submitting the following account of our stewardship for the year ending September 30, 1908. The year has been an active one in the affairs of the Old Folks' Home.

The Trustees have exercised their best judgment in judiciously ex- pending the liberal appropriation made by the Grand Lodge at its 1907 session to increase the capacity of their Home.

After a careful and thorough investigation, the Board deemed it wise to construct a fire-proof building, and we are gratified to report that the building is almost completed and meets our fullest expecta- tions, and we feel sure that our action in having constructed a fire- proof building, with the necessary additional expense, will meet the hearty approval of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs throughout the Jurisdiction. "We invite your careful consideration of the following detailed report, given under appropriate headings.

INSURANCE.

We have given the question of Fire and Tornado insurance our most careful attention, obtaining the best rates possible and insuring in none but first-class companies.

The policies are kept in a safety deposit vault in charge of our Grand Secretary, Bro. John H. Sikes.

In addition to this insurance, we keep a liberal supply of reliable hand grenades in all parts of the various buildings.

The following is a list of the insurance now in force:

Fire. Tornado.

Main Building $24,000.00 $10,000.00

CONCLUSION.

As the servants of the Grand Lodge, we have found our duties in the administration of the affairs of the Home pleasant.

We have had the cordial support of all the Grand Officers, Com- mittees and the press, and we have not called upon any member of our great Brotherhood for information or a service that has not been promptly given.

Brother James Henry Harris gave of his time and information as an expert engineer valuable assistance in correcting some defects in our heating plant, and we desire to express our thanks to all who have con- tributed to the welfare of the Home.

The general good cheer in and about the Home has only been clouded by the unavoidable visits of disease and the relentless enemy "Death." It has indeed been a pleasure to serve a constituency so gen- erous in word and act as has been the splendid membership of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs comprising the Jurisdiction of Illinois, and to them we submit the foregoing report in Friendship, Love and Truth.

REPORT OF GRAND SECRETARY.

To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge of Illinois I. O. O. F.

Dear Brothers: — Odd Fellowship in Illinois has made a steady- growth during the past 3'^ear. The gain in membership, while not the largest in our history, is far above the average and there is no lessening of interest or loyalty in our ranks. In point of membership Illinois now occupies the proud distinction of being third among the Grand Juris- dictions, being surpassed in numbers only by Pennsylvania and New York. The one hundred thousand mark is not far distant and will be attained within the next few years.

Nor have we sacrificed principles for numbers. I firmly believe that the moral standard and character of Illinois Odd Fellowship will average well, as is evidenced by the love and affection of the Order toward our Orphans' and our Old Folks' Homes". The heart of each member swells with pride because of these splendid institutions, the influence of which playing upon the finer feelings draws out the best ►there is in each one of us.

There is a reason for Odd Fellowship, a mission, a field of labor, it is the heart school of the age, with more than a million and a half students it is the most powerful infiuence in the cause of humanity that the world has ever known, and the end is not until misfortune has no want to relieve and sorrow no tear to dry.

Abstract of Lodge Reports.

The following is a summary of returns from Subordinate Lodges, March 31, 1908, and of the Rebekah Lodges, December 31, 1907.

The net gain in membership for the past year has been 4,412 in the Subordinate and 3,034 in the Rebekah Lodges.

The figures show another year of splendid work and growth.

The net gain in Subordinate Lodge members is a little larger than last year, while the gain in Rebekah membership is much larger.

The only logical inference being that Odd Fellowship in Illinois is progressive.

Grand Lodge Journal of 1907.

The Grand Lodge Journal for the session of 1907 consisted of 655 pages.

To arrange copy, read proof, and index the Grand Lodge Journal requires the entire time of a thoroughly competent person, whom we have for several years secured in the person of Bro. Past Grand Secre- tary N. C. Nason.

Veteran Jewels.

During the past year 228 Veteran and 4 Honorable Veteran Jewels have been sold, proving that the value and worth of Odd Fellowship was early recognized in this State, as well as indicating the pride and loyalty of our membership.

Trustees of the Orphans' and Old Folks' Homes.

All bills allowed by the two Boards of Trustees are forwarded to me with an attached certificate signed by the President and Secretary of the Board and countersigned by the Grand Master. These bills and vouchers are kept on file in my office for future reference, and orders on the Grand Treasurer are drawn for the several amounts. Upon these vouchers the Grand Master and myself have drawn orders on the Grand Treasurer for the sum of $35,449.69 to pay bills contracted by the Trustees of the Old Folks' Home, and the sum of $38,753.39 to pay bills contracted by the Trustees of the Orphans' Home, making a total disbursement for these two charities of the sum of $74,203.08.

Judiciary and Appeals Committee.

As Secretary of the Judiciary and Appeals Committee, I report that four sessions of this committee were held, as provided by law, on the third Tuesdays of November, 1907, February, May and August of the present year. At the November session one opinion was rendered and the By-Laws from forty Subordinate and eleven Rebekah Lodges were acted upon. At the February session six opinions were rendered and the By-Laws from forty-three Subordinate and eight Rebekah

176 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS | _ .Tuesday,

Nov. 17, 1998.

Lodges were acted upon. At the May session five opinions were ren- dered and the By-Laws from sixty-four Subordinate and thirteen Re- bekah Lodges were acted upon. At the August session three opinions were rendered and the By-Laws from fifty-seven Subordinate and nine Rebekah Lodges acted upon — malcing a total of fifteen opinions rendered and 245 codes of By-Laws acted upon.

Salary.

The salary of this office is two thousand dollars together with an allowance of $1,380.00 for a stenographer and clerk hire.

The business of the Grand Secretary's office requires the services of myself, a competent bookkeeper and a stenographer regularly, and additional help during the winter months. The allowance was dis- bursed as follows: B. L. Carver, Bookkeeper. $712.00; Marie Heintze, stenographer, $478.00; N. C. Nason, editor G. L. Journal. $175.00; extra help during G. L. Session, $15.00.

NEW LEGISLATION IN PAMPHLET FORM.

Journal 1906, page 362.

Resolved, That the Grand Secretary be instructed to prepare a separate leaf, printed only on one side of the paper, giving all cor- rections made in the laws, and add same to the Annual Journal, so that every purchaser of the Code may be enabled to insert these cor- rections in the proper place in the Code.

Action by Grand Secretary.

Under the above instructions your Secretary issued the new Leg- islation passed at the Session of 1907, in pamphlet form, consisting of 16 leaves printed on one side following the type of the Code of 1906, and mailed the same to all Subordinate Lodges and individuals who had purchased the new Code.

SPECIAL DUTIES OF THE GRAND SECRETARY.

Pursuant to Document No. 91 and action of the Grand Lodge, Jour- nal 1907, page 415, your Grand Secretary attended the Eighty-fourth Annual Communication of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, held in the city of Denver, Colorado, September 21 to 25, 1908.

At this session the following Grand Secretaries and Grand Scribes were present, viz.:

Jno. B. Goodwin, P.G.S., of Baltimore, Md., Grand Secretary of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.

Two sessions were held, at which Grand Secretary J. W. Wilkerson, of Missouri, presided and Grand Secretary C. H. Lyman, of Ohio, acted as Secretary.

The meetings resolved themselves into a general discussion of official duties and the needs of the Order.

One subject upon which we were unanimously agreed was the un- satisfactory Veteran Jewel which is now sold to the Order. The Jewel is made in four qualities and in the form of pins and watch charms.

We recommended to the Sovereign Grand Lodge the adoption of one uniform, solid gold Jewel, the same to toe greatly reduced in size and sold to lodges and individuals at actual cost. The suggestion met with approval, an-d the matter is now in the hands of the Committee on Printing and Supplies.

We also recommended a material reduction in the price of Official Certificates for dues, which was favorably acted upon by the Sovereign Grand Lodge, and the price to Grand Bodies after January 1st will be 45 cents per 100, instead of 60 cents.

Perhaps the most valuable feature of the meeting was the general discussion of ways and means to be of service to Odd Fellowship.

178 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ! Not" Yt! w'os.

It was the largest meeting of Grand Secretaries ever held, and, I believe, each one felt that he was taking home some new and valuable ideas.

The appropriation of One Hundred Dollars to defray my expenses was more than ample, hence, the warrant drawn in my favor for Sixty- five Dollars, for which kindness I am indebted to the Grand Lodge of Illinois.

Honorable Veteran Jewel.

Complying with Doc. 25, page 361, and the Eighteenth Report of the Finance Committee, page 430, G. L. Journal, 1907, I supplied an Hon- orable Veteran Jewel to Bro. John Latas, of Monticello Lodge No. 847, I. O. O. F., as soon as he was able to show continuous good standing by proper certificates.

Journals for University of Illinois.

Complying with the recommendation of Past Grand Master Fred B. Merrills, page 93, Journal 1907, and the Thirteenth Report of the Com- mittee on the State of the Order, page 375, Journal 1907, I shipped, prepaid, to the University of Illinois a well bound set of the Journals of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, except Vol. 2, which is out of print, and also a set of well bound Journals of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, and have received a very kind acknowledgment of the same.

Past Grand Representatives.

Complying with Doc. 90, page 404, Journal 1907, I tendered to Past Grand Representatives Dr. Samuel Willard, Gen. Jno. C. Smith, Walter E. Carlin, John Lake and R. W. S. Wheatley the sympathy of the Grand Lodge in their afflictions, with the hope that we, might have the pleasure of greeting them at the Session of 1908, since which time it is with much sorrow that I report the death of Bros. Walter E. Carlin and John Lake.

Office Quarters.

Pursuant to the report of your Secretary, page 192, and recom- mendations of the Committee on the State of the Order, as adopted in their Sixteenth Report, page 379, Journal 1907, in conjunction with the Grand Master and Grand Treasurer, we again leased the quarters occu- pied by the Grand Secretary for a term of five years. The rooms are located in the Odd Fellows' Building in Springfield, on the fourth floor, and are numbered 405 to 410; also 413 to 414, including a large brick vault.

These quarters were leased at a rental of Seventy Dollars per month, the lease commencing November 30, 1907, and terminating November 29, 1912. We were compelled to pay a higher rental than formerly, by reason of the enhanced value of city property, the demand

No^'^Tt^^BOS. (■ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 179

for modern office quarters and the fact that we were, and are now, paying a less rental proportionately than other tenants in the same building.

EXCHANGE OF SUBORDINATE LODGE RITUALS.

During the months of May and June of the present year the revised Ritual was exchanged book for book, to the extent of four for each subordinate lodge.

An accurate record was kept of the number of Rituals shipped to each lodge, each book being numbered and registered in my office. Many lodges ordered additional books, to handle which, making a proper record, involved considerable labor. The number of Rituals ex- changed was 3,571.

CHARTER SUPPLIES.

For the Charter fee of $30.00 a new subordinate lodge receives the following articles: A Charter, two Rituals, twelve Visiting Cards, six Withdrawal Cards, eighteen Odes, and one Code.

I am fully convinced that a new lodge should receive more supplies for the Charter fee. In the organization of a lodge the first thing to be considered is territory, then follows number of charter members, num- ber of petitioners for membership by initiation, quality of the member- ship, probability of a useful, successful career, etc.

After these questions have been passed upon and the Grand Master has decided to charter an Odd Fellows' Lodge, then, in my judgment, it is the duty of the Grand Lodge to lend every possible assistance in firmly establishing it. The profit on a charter is of small consequence to the Grand Lodge as compared with an active, progressive organi- zation.

A new organization is immediately confronted by financial obliga- tions which, by reason of inexperience, were unforeseen, the result being that most new lodges start facing bankruptcy. A larger number of Grand Lodge supplies could be furnished for the Charter fee and still leave a margin of profit, and, in my judgment, the following supplies should be furnished by the Grand Lodge:

Proposed Charter Supplies.

1 Charter, 4 Visiting Cards, 4 Withdrawal Cards, 4 Dismissal Cer- tificates, 6 Transfer Cards, 24 Odes, 10 Funeral Hymns and Responses, 10 Odes with Music, 2 Books of Odes, 2 Books of Form.s, 4 Rituals, 1 Cipher Book, 4 Memorial and Decoration Ceremonies, 4 Anniversary Ceremonies, 4 Funeral Ceremonies, 1 Question Book, 100 Official Cer- tificates for Dues, 1 Degree Chart, 1 Illinois Code of 1906, 1 Floor Work. These supplies cost the Grand Lodge the sum of $23.64, leaving a profit of $6.36 for the Grand Lodge.

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE.

In my report to the Grand Lodge in 1907, pages 194 and 195, a re- quest was made by the Grand Master and Grand Secretary of Cali- fornia upon the Jurisdiction of Illinois to relinquish all claims to any surplus which might be remaining in the funds contributed for the relief of distressed Odd Fellows, by reason of the earthquake of April 18, 1906.

This request was referred to the Committee on the State of the Order, and in their 18th report, page 391, Journal 1907, said committee recommended that the Grand Ladge of Illinois do not relinquish its pro- rata of the share of said unused donations, but that the same be col- lected and credited to the Special Relief Fund of the Grand Lodge of Illinois.

Pursuant to this action your Grand Secretary informed the Grand Lodge of California of the action taken, and on a later date received a draft from the General Relief Committee of California, in the sum of $2,418.52, which was remitted to Grand Treasurer T. B. Needles and credited to the Special Relief Fund of our Grand Lodge.

CHAS. W. REED.

Under instructions from the Grand Lodge of Illinois, at its session of 1907, a request for special relief for Brother Chas. W. Reed, a mem- ber of Rockefeller Lodge No. 817, I. O. O. F., located at Gray's Lake, 111., but which brother is now living in Chicago, was mailed to our lodges by the Grand Master, under date of December 21, 1907. From this call the sum of $2,052.96 was received by me and turned over to Grand Treasurer T. B. Needles. Warrants have been drawn against this amount in the sum of $1,800.00, leaving a balance in the hands of Grand Treasurer Needles amounting to $252.96.

OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES FOR DUES.

At the recent session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge the price of Official Certificates for Dues to Grand Bodies was reduced from 60 cents to 45 cents per hundred, to be effective January 1, 1909. Action was also taken wherebj^ official receipts may be printed to order by the Sovereign Grand Lodge in lots of 500 or more, the printing to consist of the name, number and location of each lodge.

Each member of the Order should be in possession of an Official Certificate for Dues at all times, as it is the authorized means of iden- tification. In order to encourage free use of the Official Certificates for Dues, it is my opinion that they should be sold to subordinate lodges at practically cost, and I would recommend that the price of Official Certificates for Dues be fixed at 50 cents per hundred by this Grand Lodge after January 1, 1909.

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE GRAND LODGE.

Under date of May 12th the Grand Master called a special session of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., to meet in the city of Joliet, Will county, on Thursday, the 11th day of June, 1908, at 7 o'clock p. m., in the Odd Fellows' Hall, for the purpose of conferring the Grand Lodge degree.

The detailed report of this special session will be found in the Journal of Proceedings following the regular session of the Grand Lodge.

WEAK LODGES.

We have in Illinois fifty-seven subordinate lodges working with a membership of twenty-five or less, as shown by the last annual reports.

The membership of these lodges is as follows: 6 members, No. 419; 8 members. No. 209; 9 membei-s. No. 81; 10 members. No. 654; 12 mem- bers, Nos. 279, 765; 13 members, Nos. 56, 156; 14 members. No. 849; 15 members. No. 500; 16 members. No. 511; 17 members, Nos. 83, 207, 306, 606, 709; 18 members, Nos. 301, 567, 586, 610, 694, 788, 872; 19 mem- bers, No. 945; 20 members, Nos. 26, 598, 859; 21 members, Nos. 247, 265, 335, 367, 397, 422, 425, 494, 655, 680, 895; 22 members, Nos. 195, 283, 285, 581, 944; 23 members, Nos. 268, 759; 24 members, Nos. 66, 177, 339, 573, 603, 667, 753, 845,. 919; 25 members, Nos. 87, 309, 869.

It must be evident to this Grand Lodge that a subordinate lodge can do little or nothing for Odd Fellowship with so small a member- ship. There must necessarily be certain operating expenses connected with an organization, and after paying these stipulated amounts, very little, if anything, can remain to be paid as sick benefits or relief of any kind. Some systematic effort should be put forth in behalf of these weak lodges, and I know of no way to accomplish this end except through Special Deputies, and I would suggest that a sufficient appro- priation be placed at the disposal of the Grand Master for this purpose.

I Nov. 17. 1908.

JUDICIARY AND APPEALS COMMITTEE, I. O, O. F.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST SESSION. Februory 18, 1908.

Case No. S74. Danville Lodge No. 69, I.O.O.F. i Before Committee on

vs. 'y Judiciary and Appeals,

E. S. Roberts. ^ February Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. Duncan McDougall, of No. 41.

In this case the defendant is charged with embezzlement. No objection has been made to the form of the charge and specifications, nor has any exception been taken to the appointment of the commis- sioner, or to the appointment of a member of the Lodge to defend the accused, he not being present at the time he was cited to appear. It is only fair to say that the accused was absent because at the very time he was served with the citation he was starting with his" family to his new home in Texas.

The evidence is somewhat conflicting, but it appears that the money claimed to have been embezzled was commissions on the sale of a farm. On the one hand it is claimed that these commissions be- longed to M. R. Walker. On the other hand the defendant claims that while Walker had an interest in these commissions that Walker owed him commissions on other deals and that upon a settlement of the account there would have been as much due from Walker to the ac- cused as Walker was entitled to receive from the commissions in ques- tion. The evidence was certified to the Lodge without first being sub- mitted to the Noble Grand for his approval or disapproval of the rul- ings of the commissioner on objections made while the evidence was being taken. The case came on for trial before the Lodge August 30, 1907, it not having been tried at the fourth regular meeting and no time having then been set for the trial. However, no objection was made to the trial being then had and no objection was made to the reading of the evidence, nor does the record show any objection to any of the proceedings had and taken in the Lodge in connection with the trial. A vote being had it was found that eighteen votes were cast for guilty and nineteen votes for not guilty and "Brother E. S. Roberts was declared not guilty."

From this action of the Lodge, an appeal was taken by three members of the Lodge, eight grounds of appeal being specified. A

Nov"l7fl[9b8. i GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 199

careful examination of the records and files discloses nothing support- ing the first, second, seventh or eighth ground for appeal.

In the third ground of appeal it is charged that the evidence was illegally before the Lodge in this, that the commissioner did not certify to the Noble Grand "that he had finished taking testimony," and in the fourth that the Noble Grand did not fix time and place to meet both parties and examine and pass upon testimony objected to before the commissioner before the same was read to the Lodge, as required by Section 1585 of the Illinois Code.

These two objections cannot avail as ground of reversal in this case, for the reason that no objections were made on behalf of the prosecution, except one, and that was wholly immaterial, so that the ruling of the Noble Grand upon that question was wholly unneces- sary. The prosecution cannot avail of objections made by the defense. It was therefore immaterial to the prosecution whether the objections made on, behalf of the accused were sustained or overruled by the Noble Grand.

In the fifth ground of appeal it is stated "there was no time ■fixed at the fourth regular meeting or at any other meeting when the trial should tak'e place," and Section 1667 of the Illinois Code is cited. It is true the record does not show that at the fourth regular meeting the case was tried, nor does it show that at such meeting any other time was fixed for the trial, and we must assume that the record in this regard is correct. Parties interested are not permitted to stand by without objection and speculate upon the result of the trial being favorable, and then when the result of the trial proves un- favorable take advantage of irregularities which should have been objected to at the time. It is not unreasonable to presume that the parties interested in the prosecution permitted the trial to proceed without objectio'n upon the theory that there would be a conviction. The trial having resulted in an acquittal, the parties interested in the prosecution may not now object for the first time on appeal.

In the sixth objection it is contended that at the meeting of the commissioner with the other parties interested, the evening of August 23, 1907, it was agreed to adjourn to the evening of August 29, for the purpose of examining character witnesses, and that no other evi- dence should then be taken and that the taking of evidence should cease with that meeting; also, that in violation of such agreement other evidence was introduced. The record does not sustain the state- ment contained in this ground of appeal.

The record shows that the attorney for the defense "gave notice that he desired to produce witnesses as to character in order to show that the defendant was an honest, law-abiding citizen" and, "there being on objection to this, the further hearing was adjourned till Fri- day 23d, at 7:30 p. m., at which time all witnesses are to be present."

2U0 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS 1 Nov!^l'7.^^90&

At the time to which adjournment was made both parties introduced character witnesses, and the defense introduced, no objection being made thereto, a sworn statement of the defendant. No objection having been made at this time or at any other time to the introduction of this evidence, either on the ground of incompetency or for any other reason, it must be treated as properly in the record.

The evidence properly in the case, some of which should have been excluded, however, had objection been made, is conflicting. Some of the statements of the defendant, even, are not entirely consistent with his contention. On the other hand, the case has some indica- tions of an effort to adjust an open and disputed account through the medium of a Lodge trial. It is probable the Lodge members knew most of the witnesses, and for that reason could weigh better than we can the evidence. We are not prepared to say the Lodge erred in this matter.

Upon a careful consideration of the whole record, we are con- strained to sustain the action of the Lodge and dismiss the appeal, and it is so ordered.

Case No. 377. Pocahontas Lodge, No. 59, D. of R., ] Before Committee on

vs. I Judiciary and Appeals,

Ella Oberman. ^ February Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. Duncan McDougall, of No. 41.

The record in this case is apparently not complete, but we have determined that enough appears to warrant us in disposing of it now rather than continue it to another session of the Committee.

It is charged: "We charge Sister Ella Oberman of this Lodge with coming between Brother and Sister Ott and breaking up their home and family ties' and by her acts scandalizing the Order." Un- der this charge three specifications follow, stating more in detail the acts complained of.

The accused appeared at the time cited and pleaded "not guilty." A commissioner was appointed and duly obligated. The records of the commissioner show that Sister Lillie Ott, wife of Brother Edgar C. Ott, was the complaining and prosecuting witness.

The records certified to this Committee fail to show that, at the time the accused pleaded not guilty, the cause was continued "two

NTov!^!? Wbs. f GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 201

weeks," as required by the Code (Merrills' Code, Sec. 1585). The record also fails to show either that the case was tried at the "fourth regular meeting," or that there was another "time then fixed," as required by the Code. (Merrills' Code, Sees. 1585, 1667.)

The case was afterward tried without notice to either the ac- cused or her counsel. However, the accused happened to be present in the Lodge room when the case was called for trial, though, having had no notice, her counsel was absent. The accased was found guilty and expelled from the Order.

By the failure of the Lodge to try the case at the "fourth regular meeting" and the failure to then "fix another time" the Lodge, in our opinion, lost jurisdiction to try the accused upon this charge and specifications. For this reason we might here close this opinion by merely sustaining the appeal and reversing the action of the Lodge without remanding the case for another trial, but we think the ends of justice will be better served by a brief review of the entire case.

The commissioner, the attorney "for the complaining witness," S. A. Goodspeed, Esq., the members' of the prosecuting Committee, D. R. Anderson, Esq., attorney for the defendant, and the accused, were duly convened at the office of the commissioner pursuant to notice, the evening of January 7, 1907, and the taking of the evidence commenced. Two or three witnesses were present, but it appeared that the complaining witness had not been cited; and at 8:45, after taking one page of testimony, adjournment was taken, on motion of the attorney for the complaining witness, until 7:30 p. m., January 10, 1907.

The evening of January 10, the complaining witness was examined in chief at considerable length and, based upon her testimony, a large number of alleged letters of the accused to Edgar C. Ott, together with one letter written by the fourteen year old daughter of the com- plaining witness to her mother, were introduced in evidence. All of these letters, as well as many of the questions and answers of the witness, were objected to by the defense. These objections were almost without exception overruled by the commissioner, and these rulings were sustained by the Noble Grand and the evidence read to the Lodge on the trial.

The letter written by the daughter to the complaining witness was clearly incompetent and the objection thereto should have been sustained. Admitting this letter in evidence was admitting the state- ments of the daughter of the complaining witness against the ac- cused without according the accused the right of cross-examination to test their truth. The evidence was material and the admission of the letter alone would warrant the reversal of the case.

There was no competent evidence either then or subsequently introduced to show that the alleged letters of the accused to the

202 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] nJv^^^^Yq'oS.

husband of the complaining witness were in fact either written or authorized by the accused. An effort was made to show that these letters were in the handwriting of the accused, though none of them were signed by her; but no witness testified to such knowledge of the handwriting of the accused as qualified him to testify with reference thereto. The daughter of the complaining witness was permitted over objection to testify that her father told her the&e letters were written to him by the accused and this ruling of the commissioner was sus- tained by the Noble Grand. This testimony of the daughter was hearsay and therefore incompetent. The admission of it was in ef- fect permitting the father to testify without being either obligated or sworn and without his testimony being submitted to the test of cross-examination, the best known method of sifting the true from the false. These alleged letters were therefore incompetent and should, not have been admitted in evidence. In the absence of these letters it is hardly possible a conviction could have been had unless as the result purely of passion or prejudice. The testimony of the complaining witness was' exceptionally contradictory and unsatis- factory in the most vital matters about which she testified. After a session lasting until nearly midnight an adjournment was had "sub- ject to call."

No further session was had until May 20, 1907. For a part of this delay the engagements of the counsel for the defense was in some measure responsible, but the entire record shows that this great delay on the part of the prosecution was without justification. The letter and the spirit of the Code alike, require that the accused shall have a speedy trial to the end that if not guilty vindication shall not be de- layed. At this session James Haddow, a witness called by the attorney of the complaining witness, was allowed, over the objection of the de- fense, which ruling was sustained by the Noble Grand, to detail a con- versation which he had with a third person about the accused when the accused was not present, thus introducing in evidence the statements of the witness made at a time when he was neither obligated nor sworn, as well as the statements of the person with whom the witness was conversing, such person neither being obligated nor sworn and not subject to cross-examination. Any rule which would make such evi- dence competent, would tend to cover up and obscure rather than to elicit 'or disclose the truth. After a short session an adjournment was taken to June 4.

At the session of June 4, Isabelle Ott, fourteen year old daughter of the complaining witness, was allowed to testify, over objection, this ruling being sustained by the Noble Grand, to a statement al- leged to have been made to her by her father when the accused was not present. Before the cross-examination of this witness was com- pleted, and, so far as the record shows, without any sufiicient cause

No^"1.7?m8. f GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 203

the witness at the suggestion of the complaining witness "left the stand" and "with her mother left the room."

The prosecution here rested its cause without producing the com- plaining witness for the completion of her cross-examination and with- out producing the witness Isabelle Ott, for the completion of her cross-examination and without producing the witness Henry Reid, for cross-examination. It is clear from the entire record that the defense desired as a part of the case in chief to complete the cross-examination of the complaining witness and her daughter, but it does not appear that any effort was made to have the prosecution produce the witness Henry Reid, for cross-examination. We think it was incumbent upon the prosecution to produce these witnesses before the commissioner for the completion of their cross-examination, and because of such failure, had a motion to strike the entire testimony of the witnesses from the record been made, such motion ought to have been sustained.

At a later meeting citation was issued and afterwards served upon the complaining witness to appear at a time specified for the comple- tion of her cross-examination. In the files is found a letter written in answer to this citation stating reasons why she could not appear and concluding "I am sorry my circumstances force me to refuse to come as cited." In this letter the witness offered to complete her tes- timony by deposition. This was not suflBcient. The defense had a right to complete the cross-examination in the usual way, and if the prosecution wanted to use the testimony of the witness already taken it should have produced the witness and permitted the completion of the cross-examination.

The record fails to show any notice to the accused or her counsel of the meeting with the Noble Grand to pass upon the rulings of the commissioner. It is true there is, in the testimony returned by the commissioner, a copy of what appears as though it had been intended as a notice to the attorney for the defense, but it is not in due form and there is no evidence that it was served.

At the session of June 18, 1907, the defendant filed a protest and withdrew with her counsel. To enter into the consideration of either the merits or effect of this protest and the answer thereto would un- necessarily prolong this opinion and, no matter what the merits of that action may have been, whether justified or not, it would not change the disposition we have determined to make of the case.

From the action of the Lodge in trying the accused, finding her guilty and fixing the punishment at expulsion, this appeal was taken. Twenty-four grounds and "other reasons" are assigned why the ap- peal should be sustained and the action of the Lodge reversed. Time has permitted us to consider only a few of the grounds of appeal as- signed. Several of the grounds not considered would justify a reversal of the case, but we think the assigning of so many grounds of appeal.

204 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS ] Nov"T7!Y9'08.

many of which are general rather than specific, is not calculated to aid the Committee in arriving at a just conclusion.

For the reasons herein pointed out the appeal is sustained, the action of the Lodge reversed and the accused reinstated. The case will not be reversed for further trial.

Opinion by Bro. Henry Phillips, of No. 16.

In this case it is charged that the defendant sustained such rela- tions to a married woman that her affections were thereby alienated from her husband.

The accused was tried, found guilty and expelled. From this action of the Lodge this appeal is takgn by the accused.

Three grounds of appeal are assigned, but, in view of the disposi- tion we have determined to make of the case, it is only necessary for us to consider the third, which charges that the action of the Lodge "is contrary to the evidence in the case." The Committee has care- fully considered all of the evidence, and, in consideration thereof, has been aided by oral argument, both on behalf of the Lodge and the accused, and we are clearly of the opinion that the evidence does not sustain the charge nor does it sustain any one material specifica- tion.

The evidence satisfies the Committee that no improper relations existed between the accused and the married woman named; that if the affection of the married woman was alienated from her husband it was alienated by the action of a person not named in the charge and specification.

We, therefore, reverse the action of the Lodge, sustain the appeal and direct the reinstatement of the accused.

vs. y Judiciary and Appeals,

Forest Lodge No. 255, I. 0.. O. F. \ February Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. Duncan McDougall, of No. 41.

This case was before the Committee at its February session, 1907, at which time the Committee sustained the appeal of Brother G. W. Miller and reversed the action of the Lodge. The opinion of the Com- mittee will be found in Journal 1907, page 219.

An appeal was taken to the Grand Lodge, and, on motion of a mem- ber of this Committee at the November session, 1907, the Grand Lodge, without action, referred the case back to this Committee for further consideration. The case has this day been re-argued, orally, on behalf of the Lodge and by the appellant in person.

We have carefully reconsidered the entire record, and are satisfied that we erred in our former opinion in holding the Lodge liable to Brother Miller for the payment of his bill for $138.00. The bill is for nurse hire paid by Brother Miller during his illness; detailed facts con- cerning it appear in our former opinion.

The by-laws of the Lodge provide for the care of the sick by appointment of watchers. In this case the Lodge provided a watcher and in addition to paying him paid part of the special nurse hire, the employment and payment having been in accordance with authority of the Lodge.

The bill of Brother Miller is for special nurse hire in addition to the watcher provided by the Lodge and in addition to the special nurse hire paid by the Lodge, the special nurse having been employed by Brother Miller. There is no by-law authorizing the employment of watchers or nurses for hire. In the absence of such by-law the Lodge could only become liable therefor by special authority. It is not con- tended by Brother Miller that any special authority was given; he bases' his claim wholly upon implied authority. His contention is that the Lodge having paid special nurse hire in several cases, it established a precedent whereby it becomes liable to pay special nurse hire in his case, even in the absence of any employment of a special nurse by the Lodge and in the absence of any special authority by the Lodge to any person to employ such special nurse.

We are not unmindful of the fact that a liberal policy ought to be pursued by lodges toward sick members, but to establish the precedent that nowithstanding the by-laws provide for the care of the sick by the appointment of watchers, the family of the sick Brother or the sick Brother himself, may, in addition to the watchers regularly assigned by the Lodge according to the by-law, employ and obligate the Lodge to pay for special nurses without any authority from the Lodge, so to

206 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS j Nm\\^^Y908.

do, might lead to the bankruptcy of many, if not all, Lodges and thereby render impossible the present orderly, efficient, and liberal policy of the Lodges toward sick members.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge, having under consideration the ques- tion of the liability of a Lodge in California for the payment of special nurse hire in a case where the by-laws provided for the care of the sick members by hiring instead of by assignment of watchers, used the following language. "The necessity of employing a nurse for a sick Brother must in the first instance be determined by the Subordinate Lodge to which the sick Brother belongs or by the Lodge in whose care he is at the time. The determination of that question cannot be left to the judgment or caprice of a person who is not thereto author- ized by the proper Lodge, whether he be or be not a member of the Order."

Franklin Lodge, No. 23, vs. The Grand Lodge, I.O.O.F., of Massa- chusetts, 1893, page 13441.

In this case, as before stated, the by-laws provided for the care of the sick by the a.ssignment of watchers, and a watcher was regularly assigned and regularly performed his duties, but, notwithstanding this fact. Brother Miller, without any authority from the Lodge, employed and paid a special nurse, and it is to reimburse himself for the money thus expended that this bill was presented.

The action of this Committee at its February session 1907 is therefore reconsidered; the appeal dismissed, and the action of the Lodge sustained.

Opinion by Brother W. E. P. Anderson of No. 107.

This is an appeal by Brother Bishop from the vote of his Lodge expelling him for contempt. The record fails to show the number voting and the appointment of an attorney for the accused. However, the prin- cipal question to be determined is whether or not the Lodge acquired sufficient jurisdiction by the service of its citation to proceed to a vote of expulsion for contempt. Service was obtained under Section 2635,

Tuesday, I ^^r,

Nov. 17, 1908. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 207

Merrills' Code, which is as follows: — "If the Secretary is unable to personally serve a copy of the charges and citations on an accused member by reason of permanent absence, concealment or incarceration, a copy of the citations and charges left at the accused's usual or last known place of abode, or deposited in the mail so directed, shall be deemed a legal notice or citation, and the Lodge may proceed with the trial as if the accused were present. The Noble Grand shall appoint counsel to defend the accused if none appear."

It will be observed that while this section gives the Lodge jurisdic- tion to proceed with the trial of the party provided he appears by attorney or by counsel appointed by the Noble Grand, it does not confer jurisdiction upon the Lodge such as will sustain a conviction and expulsion for contempt.

The record must show personal service to sustain contempt proceed- ings. Merrills' Code, 1906, Section 1597, 1739.

The law is well settled that a Lodge cannot expel for contempt unless there has been personal service, and the record must affirmatively show that fact. Merrills' Code, Section 1609.

To sustain this conviction the proceedings must be according to the letter of the law. Merrills' Code, 1596.

The proceedings and conviction not having been in accordance with the law of our Order, it is therefore ordered that the appeal in this case be sustained and the cause remanded for trial by the Lodge on the original charges, as provided by law.

Opinion by Brother J. R. Kewley, of No. 450.

It appears charges were filed against Brother Eugene Rice in Camargo Lodge, No. 928, at the regular meeting of Nov. 16, 1907, and the Secretary mailed the following notice to the accused: "You are hereby requested to appear before this Lodge Nov. 30, 1907, and answer to charges preferred against you." There is nothing in • the record before this Committee to show what these charges were, and the accused certifies he has never seen them or a copy of them. There is nothing

208 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS . "l NTov^l^'^'lOi

(Nov. 17, 1908.

to indicate that a copy was ever served upon him or even mailed to him. On Nov. 30th, it appears the Lodge l<new that Brother Rice was serving on the Federal Grand Jury, and in his absence from the Lodge meeting the case was continued one week. At the meeting of Dec. 7tb, Brother Rice not being present, the Lodge expelled him for contempt. from which action Brother Rice appeals.

Opinion. Before a Lodge can expel for contempt in not appearing in person or by counsel to answer charges, the record must affirmatively show that personal service has been had upon the accused and that a certified copy of the charges have been personally delivered to him, as provided for in section 1609, Merrills' Code.

As no personal service had been had in this case and no certified copy of charges had been delivered to the accused, the Lodge was with- out jurisdiction to expel him for contempt. The appeal is therefore sustained, and the action of the Lodge reversed without remanding.

This case comes to us on appeal by members of the Lodge from the action of the Lodge in not finding Bro. Brown guilty of the charges preferred against him. The first papers were filed in the Grand Sec- retary's office on Sept. 24, 1907. No' charges were found in the record, and repeated efforts have been made to obtain from the Lodge a copy of its record in this case; but such efforts have amounted to nothing, and we are in entire ignorance of what the charges were. The charges are the foundation of the action and we can do nothing with the mat- ter unless such charges are before us. It seems impossible to obtain a proper record in this case, and we can do nothing more than to dis- miss this appeal for want of proper record. Appeal is dismissed.

D. H. Chapman, -\ Before Committee on

vs. C Judiciary and Appeals,

Prosperity Lodge No. 782, I.O.O.F. ) May Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. W. E. P. Anderson of No. 107.

The record in this case appears to be regular.

On April 3, 1907, Bro. D. H. Chapman was reported as disabled. April 17th the Visiting Committee reported him still lame but over- , seeing his work. April 24th the Visiting Committee reported him still improving and not entitled to benefits. May 1st, the Visiting Com- mittee reported Bro. Chapman off the sick list without benefits. May 8th Bro. Chapman presented his bill for benefits from March 29th to April 30th, 1907, amounting to $20.00. On a vote of the Lodge, by a majority, it was decided that he was not entitled to benefits, from which action he appeals.

The facts are that on March 29th, 1907, Bro. Chapman was thrown out of a wagon and suffered an injury to his right leg, at which time and previous thereto, he was a part owner of a hotel and restaurant, in which capacity prior to his injury he performed various duties, but by reason of such injury he was not able to do any work therein until the 4th of May, and in the meantime he was not able to walk without a cane. The physician's certificate is as follows:

"To Whom it May Concern:

"This is to certify that on March 29, 1907, I was called to attend Mr. D. H. Chapman. Found that he had injured his right foot and ankle to such an extent as to almost completely incapacitate him in the performance of his usual duties. Part of the ligamentous attacu- ments of the tendon of Achilles, at the back of the ankle, were broken away from the muscle; and the tarsal bones were put on such, strain as to almost completely break down the arch of the foot. I treated this foot intermittently for about four weeks. No work was allowed that would interfere with the immobilization of the foot. Complete rest would have been the ideal treatment, but this in some particulars seemed impossible, due to the character of the man's occupation. "Sincerely and fraternally submitted.

"Dk. R. C. Liberton."

"Chicago, 111., June 19, 1907.

It should be borne in mind that sick benefits do not emanate from charitable motives alone, but largely from a contractual relation be- tween the Brother and the Lodge upon his being accepted as a mem- ber, that so long as he pays his dues and conforms to the laws of the Order he is entitled to his sick benefits as a matter of right, provided

No^v^^^'lTgOS. l GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 211

his sickness or Injury prevents him from attending to his ordinary vo- cation.

In our judgment, the testimony in this case clearly shows that at the time of his injury Brother Chapman's vocation was that of a hotel and restaurant keeper, and that for the space of four weeks he was not able to do the work heretofore performed by him.

See Merrills' Code 1906, page 242, Section 2062.

Notwithstanding the fact that in addition to his ordinary vocation, that of a hotel and restaurant keeper, Brother Chapman performed certain other work for which he received salary, we hold that he is entitled to his benefits.

The appeal is therefore sustained and the action of the Lodge reversed, and Prosperity Lodge, No. 782, LO.O.F., is hereby directed to pay to Bro. D. H. Chapman benefits amounting to $20.00.

Bro. J. R. Kewley, at his request, was excused from taking any part in the consideration of this case.

The record in this case is not complete in that the date of tne transcript of the Lodge minutes begins with the regular meeting of August 13th, while the Brother was ill in May, 1907; it does not show that the commissioner appointed to take evidence was obligated or that he obligated witnesses appearing before him; neither does it show the time or place where testimony was taken and that proper notices to interested parties were given. However, as Bro. Lee raises no objec- tion and was in no way responsible, it was deemed wise to decide the case on its merits.

It appears that Bro. Lee consulted his physician, May 11, 1907 rela- tive to a hernia from which he had suffered for 14 years, and made arrangements to enter the hospital for operation. May 12, 1907. He was operated on May 13th, and on the same day his physician, who is a member of the Lodge, deemed a night nurse necessary and directed

212 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] Nov^lf^l90H.

that one be placed upon the case, which was done and continued for ten nights, when the doctor discontinued the night nurse.

Brother Lee sent word by his daughter of his admission to tue hospital, and she reported it to Bro. Fletcher Hopper, who testified that he called up the Noble Grand by telephone but failed to get him, and that he personally reported the case to the Lodge at its regular meet- ing, May 21st. The Noble Grand and the Vice Grand, on or about May 26th, visited him at the hospital, and were informed in regard to the presence of the night nurse, and said that they would consult with the full committee in regard to the same.

The Brother remained in the hospital five weeks, and after his re- turn home he told the Noble Grand that they had waited so long rela- tive to the nurse that that they might wait until he could Visit the Lodge. At the regular meeting of the Lodge, August 13th, the Sec- retary, at the request of Bro. Lee, presented a bill of $15.00 for the special nurse for ten nights from May 13th to May 23rd. The bill was rejected, and the Secretary gave notice that, under instructions of Bro. Lee, appeal would be taken to the Grand Lodge.

At the following meeting Brother Lee was present and explained the bill, but no action was taken. At the following meeting. August 27th, a motion to refer the claims to the Visiting Committee was laid on the table. At the regular meeting, Sept. 17th, Brother Lee pre- se«ted a second bill for the same claim and asked that a commissionei be appointed to take evidence, and Bro. J. E. Obermier was appointed such commissioner by the Noble Grand, and, on motion Brother Menter, was appointed to loo-k after the interests of the Lodge.

At the regular meeting, October 15th, the commissioner made his report, which was read to the Lodge, whereupon Brother Menter ob- jected to the report, as notice of appeal had been given August 13th. The Noble Grand ruled the objections too late, and then Brother Menter raised the point of order that there was no bill before the Lodge and no action could be taken until the former action of the Lodge was reconsidered. The Noble Grand considered the point an important one, and. in the absence of objection, continued the case one week. At the regular meeting, October 22d, the Noble Grand read the decision and sustained the point of order raised by Brother Menter. At the regular meeting, October 29th, Brother Lee read his appeal to the Grand Master, assigning seven errors.

I. The Lodge made answer to this appeal, the substance of which is that the nurse was hired without consent of the Visiting Committee and without any opportunity given it to furnish a nurse.

II. That the Lodge could not act on the claim without a recon- sideration of its former action.

III. That it was not proper to appoint a commissioner to take evidence in the case of involving nurse hire, and

Tuesday, i c\i .\

Nov. 17, 1908. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 213

IV. That, as notice of appeal had been given, no action could be taken by the Lodge. The by-laws of the Lodge provide that the Vis- iting Committee may hire a night watcher not to exceed $1.50 per night in suitable cases, when the family have become exhausted in car- ing for the sick Brother, and further provide that no action shall be taken by the Lodge on a claim for nurse hire without a report by the Visiting Committee.

OPINION. ^

Taking up the objections of the Lodge to the payment of this claim in reverse order, we are of the opinion that the notice of appeal did not bar the Brother from taking other action; indeed, the Lodge itself did not consider an appeal was taken, or they would have sent up the record to the Grand Lodge as required by law.

The Brother might prosecute the appeal on the record that had been made or abandon it for other action at his option; indeed, the appeal might have been withdrawn.

The objection to taking evidence by commissioner in a case of this kind is not well taken, as a Lodge, at its discretion, may appoint a commissioner to act in the same manner as in a Lodge trial, or in a claim for weekly benefits.

Regarding the objection to taking action without reconsideration of the former motion, we consider it not well taken, not only because the objection was made too late, but for the further reason that any motion failing to carry may be renewed in the same or other form at a subsequent session of the Lodge; and in the absence of special ruling. a motion to reconsider could not be made at any session except at that in which the original motion had failed to carry.

We believe that one of the great fundamental principles of the Order is the attentive care by the Lodge of the sick and disabled mem- bers. It is a responsibility resting upon it that cannot be avoided by any act or lack of act by the sick Brother except arrearages of dues.

The Lodge has the preliminary right to determine the necessity of night watching, but its determination is, on appeal, subject to review- It is proper to clothe the Visiting Committee with authority by by-law or otherwise to determine the necessity of a night watcher in a case under its care and to hire or engage a night watcher when it deems it necessary, but clothing it with such authority does not divest the Lodge of its authority or responsibility in the premises.

The Brother's messenger, who was a member of the Lodge, failed to deliver the message promptly; for this the Lodge cannot be blamed. But it did have the report two days before the nurse was discharged, and thus can have no excuse for not seeing to the presence of a night watcher for the last two nights.

It was the duty of the Visiting Committee to have reported May 28th on the condition of the Brother including the care extended him.

214 JOURNAL OF PiiOCKEDINCS ') Nov"l7f 1908.

and thus with the case before the Lodge it could have acted at once, or if desirous of more information might have referred it for further investigation and report; surely, it would have done one or the other had the Visiting Committee done its whole duty.

Like care must be extended to all Brothers in like circumstances. Many conditions might exist of dire necessity for night watchers in which a report could not be sent promptly to the Visiting Committee or Lodge, and so, tgo, the Visiting Committee might fail to take any ac- tion upon receiving the report. It could hardly be claimed under such circumstances that the Lodge would be relieved of the liability of the care of its sick. In this case the Brother seems to have used due diligence to notify his Lodge. It does not appear that he knew of the non-delivery of the message until it was too late to renew it before the discharge of the nurse.

This case might be remanded with instructions to have the evi- dence, after proper notice, re-read ana vote then taken upon the claim; but as there is no question but that the Brother was beneficiary and in need of the night watcher provided by the by-laws of the Lodge, the only contention being that the night nurse was not hired by the Vis- iting Committee in the manner provided by the by-laws, it seems wise to avoid further delay and determine the case upon its naerits.

In the judgment of the Committee, the Lodge is liable for the entire ten nights' nurse hire. The appeal of Bro. Phillip Le© is therefore sustained, and Illini Lodge, No. 4, is directed to reimburse him the $15.00 paid by him for the night nurse from May 13th to May 23d, 1907.

S. M. Butler ] Before Committee on

vs. V Judiciary and Appeals,

Urania Lodge, No. 243 I.O.O.F. \ May Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. J. R. Kewley, of No 450.

This is an appeal of Bro. S. M. Butler, a member of Urania Lodge, No. 243, I.O.O.F., from the action of the Lodge in refusing him addi- tional sick benefits, claimed by him.

It appears that on July 17, 1907, Bro. S. M. Butler's hand was so badly crushed in a corn sheller or grinder, that it had to be amputated.

On July 27th, the Lodge paid him $5.00 for one week's disability —

Nov^ItTTsOS. [ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 215

the by-laws providing for the non-payment of siclv benefits for the first week's disability; on August 5th, $5.00 was again paid for the third week's disability; and on September 16th, $5.00 was paid for the fourth week's disability, and he was declared off the sick list.

On September 23d, Brother Butler filed a written claim for seven weeks' benefits from July 17th to September 16th, or $35.00, less the $15.00 received, being a total balance of $20.00.

This claim was referred to the Visiting Committee, which, on Sep- tember 20th, reported in favor of allowing $5.00 for the fifth week's disability. The recommendation of the Visiting Committee was re- jected and the claim was referred to a commissioner to take evidence for and against it. The commissioner, with all parties in interest present, took the evidence and filed his report with the Lodge on Jan. 20, 1908; the reading being deferred to January 27th.

On January 27th, it was read to the Lodge and action deferred two weeks to February 10th. At the regular meeting, February 10th, the claim was, by vote of the Lodge, refused. On February 17th, Brother Butler filed his appeal from this refusal.

From the report of the commissioner, we learn that Brother Butler testified that he was disabled so that he could not work from July 17th to September 7th, a period of seven weeks; he admitted, on cross ex- amination, that while he did no work, he had hired some men to worK for him and told his men where to work and what teams to use on the farm at different times.

The attending surgeon. Dr. Hairgrove, under date of November 15th, certified to the injury and that he had attended him from July 17th to August 31st, during which time he was unable to work, and that he, on account of losing his hand, was still unable to work as a farmer, as he had formerly done. For the Lodge, one Brother testified he saw him, unattended, in town on August 15th, driving his own team, and the N. G. testified that on August 14th, he had called up Brother Butler by phone, and that Mrs. Butler had answered saying her hus- band was out in the yard and that his hand was all healed except in one place; it was this phone message that led the N. G. to declare Brother Butler off the sick list as of August 14th.

OPINION.

There is no testimony other than that of Brother Butler, that his disability extended beyond August 31st, and we must recognize that the date given in his testimony as September 7th, was not the same as the date given in his written claim, which gave it as September 16th. The surgeon testified to his disability to work from July 17th to Aug- ust 31st. The Lodge gave no testimony showing that disability ceased on August 14th or at any other date than as noted above.

It would seem, then, that Brother Butler should be properly con-

216 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS | Nov" IT^^W

sidered on the sick list from July ITth to August 31st, or six weeks, from which should be deducted the first week, for which, under the toy- laws, he was not entitled to benefits, and three weeks for which benefits were paid, leaving $10.00 still due for the 5th and 6th weeks' disability. The appeal is therefore sustained, and Urania Lodge, No. 243, is hereby directed to pay $10.00 sick benefits to Bro. S. M. Butler as herein pro- vided.

D. E. Morris \ May Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro Duncan McDougall, of No. 41.

In this case the following charge and specifications were regularly presented. "We charge Bro. D. E. Morris with conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow by showing undue attention to one Mrs. Kate Eiias and also by treating his wife in a disrespectful and cruel manner."

Specification 1. "That he accompanied the said Mrs. Kate Elias to St. Louis, Mo., and was seen at the theater, in company with her on or about Sept. 22, 1907. Also, that he has frequently visited the said Mrs. Kate Elias at her home, and frequently has been seen to leave her residence as late as ten o'clock in the evening."

Specification 2. "He has grossly neglected and refused to support his wife, has used violent and unbecoming language to her and has struck and used threats, and has ordered her from their home. She has been compelled to leave home and take employment as a house- servant."

A commissioner was duly appointed, the evidence regularly taken and reported to the Lodge. No objections were made before the com- missioner and therefore there was no occasion to set the matter down for hearing before the Noble Grand upon the question of sustaining or overruling the rulings of the commissioner; nor was any objection made to the evidence when read before the Lodge. The accused was found guilty and expelled. From this action of the Lodge this appeal was taken.

Eight grounds of appeal were assigned:

First. The charges in the written complaint are too general.

Nov"\^7^Y908. !" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 217

Second. The accused was required to give in his evidence before the prosecution had presented the case against the accused, when it should have been given in last, so that the testimony of the prosecu- tion could have been rebutted.

Third. The commissioner taking the evidence admitted hearsay evidence over the objection of the accused.

Fourth. The verdict of guilty was based upon hearsay evidence and not upon direct evidence.

Fifth. The rules of procedure as laid down by the Grand Lodge were not followed in the trial of the case.

Sixth. The verdict is founded upon prejudice and not upon facts.

Seventh. The verdict is contrary to the law of the Order.

Eighth. The verdict is contrary to the evidence introduced at the time of the hearing.

We have carefully examined the entire record, and find nothing (herein supporting or tending to support the second, third, fifth, sixth, or seventh assignments of error. Had objection been made to the first specification before proceeding to trial, it ought to have been sustained. The specification is too indefinite and uncertain, and. unless much is read between the lines, does not charge any offense. However, in the view we take of this case, it is not material whether the specification was or was not sufficiently definite.

The evidence actually taken and read before the Lodge, in our opinion, falls far short of proving the charge and specifications with that degree of certainty which a due regard for the ordinary rules of procedure in criminal cases requires.

There accompanies the record a letter of the Junior Past Grand stating many occurrences alleged to have taken place subsequent to the taking of the testimony and subsequent to the trial and expulsion of the accused. These statements, if true, would tend very strongly to sustain the charges, but this letter cannot be considered as a part of the record in this case.

If the facts stated in the letter are true, the Lodge ought to^ prefer new charges based thereon, and proceed regularly with the trial and punishment of the accused.

We have no reason for doubting the truth of the statements made in the letter, but the letter cannot be regarded as a part of the record; and for that reason we cannot consider the matters therein stated.

In the absence of the matter stated in the letter, we are constrained to find that the charge and specifications are not sustained by the evidence. In coming to this conclusion, we are not unmindful of the fact that the Lodge membership was acquainted with the various wit- nessess and therefore better able to determine the weight to be given to the testimony of the witnesses than we are, but giving due consider- ation to this fact, still the evidence does not sufficiently establish the

charge and specifications to warrant the finding and action of the Lodge based thereon. We therefore sustain the appeal and reverse the action of the Lodge.

T. J. Palmer, J Before Committee on

vs. I Judiciary and Appeals,

Eddyville Lodge, No. 615, I.O.O.P. \ August Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. J. R. Kewley, of No 450.

This is a complaint of T. J. Palmer against the action of his Lodge in omitting his name from the annual report of March 31st, 1908, and refusing to receive dues tendered by him April 18, 1908. It comes before this Committee by direct reference of Grand Master Owen Scott.

It appears that the action of the Lodge was based upon a trial in 1906. Charges were preferred against T. J. Palmer in his Lodge, July 28, 190G, and he was cited to appear and plead August 11, 1906. He did not appear, and a motion was made and seconded to expel him for con- tempt. This motion failed to carry. On August 25 a motion was made and seconded to reconsider the motion of August 11th. It was carried and the Lodge again voted on original motion, and it was declared car- ried and the brother expelled. At the regular meeting of September 1st, 1906, the minutes of the meeting of August 25th were corrected to show that of the ten members present, one was excused and ^x voted in favor of expulsion, which was decided as not being the necessary number to expel. The Lodge seems to have regarded him as a member until the report of Financial Committee for the term ending March 31st, 1908, when a majority of the Financial Committee on the Annual Report recommended that the name of T. J. Palmer be not included in the list of members, as he had been expelled in August, 1906, while the minority of the Committee recommended that the name be included. The ma- jority report seems to have been adopted, and the name omitted. No report of the Lodge to the Grand Lodge shows the expulsion, and the annual report to the Grand Lodgge for term ending March 31st, 1907, includes his name in the list of members.

OPINION.

It does not seem necessary to your Committee to consider any action of the Lodge subsequent to the regular meeting of August 11th. 3)906, when the motion to expel him for contempt was primarily made. The motion was lost, and the Lodge thereby lost jurisdiction over the question of contempt for not appearing to plead to the charges, and all subsequent action of the Lodge was absolutely void. The action of the

Tuscola Lodge, No. 316, I. O. O. F., l Before Committee on

Leonard Webster. ) August Session, 1908.

Opinion by Bro. Henry Phillips, of No. 16.

The record in this case is not in the condition it should be, butthe Committee feel inclined to dispose of the case so far as they are con- cerned. Brother Webster was charged with conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow; that he privately, and in public, cursed the Order, using vile language concerning both the members of his Lodge and the Order generally. Because of the vile and filthy language charged to have been used, we do not care to repeat it in this opinion. In our judgment, if the evidence sustains the charge and specifications, Brother Webster ought not to complain of the action of the Lodge. We gather from the record before us that Brother Webster was duly served with copy cf charges and specifications and notified to appear for trial April 20, 1908. Commissioner had been appointed to take the evidence, and, so far as we can determine from the record, such Commissioner was appointed and the evidence properly taken and reported to the Lodge. Defendant appeared and plead not guilty; the evidence was read, and upon a ballot being taken, the Lodge found Brother Webster guilty as charged, and he was suspended for the term of one year. From this action of the Lodge, defendant appeals to this Committee, and assigns numerous errors.

The first error a.ssigned is that the evidence was not taken in deposition form. The law says that the evidence is to be taken "in deposition form, by irriting doion both the questions and answers in full" The evidence fully meets this requirement. As to the error charged that the evidence was copied, and not in its original form when presented to the Noble Grand, we consider it of no value. The Commis- sioner has the right, and it is his duty, to present the evidence in the best manner possible. The day has passed when type written evidence can be refused. The Commissioner certifies the foregoing "is the evi- dence taken," and no affidavit is filed with us that such was not the truth.

Nov" n*? WOS. !' GRAND LODGE iDF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 221

Numerous other errors are charged. There is nothing before us, either in the record or by way of aflBdavits, to establish any foundation that such errors were committed. The record establishes the fact that defendant was present at the trial together with his counsel. The Lodge by its vote said the charges and specifications were sustained, and, upon a careful reading of the evidence, we are inclined to the belief that the Lodge was correct in its finding. And if so, surely no one who has the faintest knowledge of the fundamental principles of Odd Fel- lowship would say that any member of the Order who used such lan- guage as defendant is charged with having used is entitled to the benefits and privileges of our Order. We therefore sustain the action of the Lodge, and dismiss the appeal herein taken. Appeal dismissed.

Big Thunder Lodge, No. 28, 1. 0.0. P., \ Before Committee on

vs. (. Judiciary and Appeals,

Dr. E. B. Haley. \ August Session, 1908.

Opinion by Brother Henry Phillips of No. 16.

In this case Brother Haley was charged with conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow. To sustain such charge, two specifications were filed, the first alleging, in substance, chat Dr. Haley was unduly intimate with a certain woman who had been arrested for keeping a house of ill fame, to which charge she plead guilty, and was fined and fine suspended upon condition that she leave the town, which she did; that Dr. Haley .after- ward manipulated her return to Belvidere. and kept her in his office under the claim that she was a competent office girl.

The second specification charges, in substance. Brother Haley with being untrue to his marriage vows "in that, in a bill filed in the Circuit Court of Boone County, Hlinois" Mrs. Laura Haley, his wife, "charges him with adultery as the ground on which she asked for a divorce."

At the trial, the Lodge acquitted Brother Haley on the first specifi- cation and found him guilty as to the second, and as to the charge itself, found Brother Haley not guilty. From this action of the Lodge, a number of the brothers appeal.

In the opinion of this Committee, there is no evidence before it which would sustain a finding of guilty as to the first specification; and as to the second specification, it simply states that Mrs. Haley charges Brother Haley with adultery in a bill filed by her for a divorce

222 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS iNov^nfwOS.

in the Boone Circuit Court. There is nothing in this second specifica- tion except that Mrs. Haley charges Brother Haley with adultery. Many things may be alleged in a bill in chancery, but because alleged are not necessarily true. We find no evidence before us suflacient to sustain such charge. In our judgment, the specification charges no wrong but simply states what some one else charges Brother Haley with in a case not tried. We therefore dismiss the appeal taken herein.

Woodlawn Lodge.No. 522. \ November Session, 1908.

Bro. Chas. R. Slade was expelled by his Lodge for contempt, from which action he appeals, assigning several reasons why the action of the Lodge should be reversed. We do not deem it necessary to comment upon the charges preferred.

From an examination of the records, we find that the charges are insuflHcient for want of proper specifications (See Merrills' Code. Sec. 1565), and that Bro. Slade was not served according to the laws of our Order. He was not served with a citation together with a copy of the charges and specifications (there being no specifications), either by delivering the same to him personally, or by leaving the same at the accused's usual last known place of abode, or that they were deposited in the mail so directed.

The Lodge not having acquired jurisdiction, it had no authority to expel him for contempt.

It is therefore ordered that the appeal be and is hereby sustained and the cause remanded for trial on proper charges and specifications as provided by law.

Opinion by Bro. Duncan McDougall, of No. 41.

STATEMENT. Bro. Winchester Hall became a member of Excelsior Lodge, No. 22, by card, November 24, 1868, at which time he was fifty years of age. He is therefore now ninety years old.

224 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS "I 'l'"®^^*^^'

Nov. 17. 1908.

During all the time covered by this controversy, Bro. Hall resided within the jurisdiction of Apollo Lodge, No. 29, of Pocomoke City, Md.

The competent evidence in the case consists entirely of correspond- ence between the parties direct, or through Apollo Lodge and medical certificates.

March 11, 1907, Bro. Hall wrote his Lodge that he had been ill "since February 2 2d." Inclosed with this letter was the certificate of his attending physician, showing that he was suffering from "kidney ailment" (Nephritis), and was thereby incapacitated for bodily or men- tal labor.

The By-Laws of Excelsior Lodge provide for the payment of sick benefits at the rate of six dollars per week for the first six months; four dollars per week for the second six months, and thereafter one dollar per week for any continuous illness.

The Lodge promptly placed Bro. Hall on the sick list and for twenty-six weeks paid him regularly six dollars per week, and for the twenty-seventh week four dollars.

June 8th, 1907, Bro. Hall wrote his Lodge: "I am still under profes- sional treatment for kidney and bladder trouble."

September 4th, 1907, Bro. Hall wrote his Lodge: "I take pleasure in requesting you to strike my name off the sick list as of this date, with many thanks for the prompt remittance of my sick benefits up to August 9th, and trust I may soon receive a check for balance due."

The balance due was promptly paid, and Bro. Hall was declared off the sick list as of September 4th, 1907.

February 7th, 1908, Bro. Hall wrote his Lodge that he had "been taken ill on the 22d day of January last," and inclosed certificate of attending physician stating that he was "suffering with Cystitis and some Prostatic trouble, accompanied with an urethral discharge of blood. He is completely incapacitated to perform any sort of labor."

February 26th, Excelsior Lodge asked Bro. Hall to have the Secre- tary of Apollo Lodge make a statement of the facts in the case; also a statement of the visits of the visiting committee and its reports, the re- ports to be "taken from the minutes of the various meetings to which the committee had reported."

The answer disclosed that official visits had not been made, and therefore that reports had not been made; that Bro. Hall had "waived" that duty by notifying the Lodge that he "needed no attention other than fraternal visits."

Considerable further correspondence was had, directed on the part of Excelsior Lodge to ascertaining whether the illness commencing Jan- uary 22 was indeed a new and independent illness, or a continuation of the illness of 1907, and on the part of Bro. Hall to showing that it was a new and independent illness and not a continuation of the illness of 1907.

N^" 17? 1908. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 225

During the period covered by this somewhat protracted correspond- ence, the Lodge repeatedly offered to pay, and actually did forward to Bro. Hall its check or draft at the rate of four dollars per week, as- suring him that the Lodge, in case of the acceptance "could" not claim — the context making it clear that the word "could" was used in the sense of "would" — that such acceptance of payment constituted a settlement. Notwithstanding this, the Lodge each time insisted on a receipt in form showing that each paj'ment made was for a specific number of weeks at the rate of four dollars per week, and not merely to apply on account.

These payments Bro. Hall, except one, declined for a long time to accept, fearing, no doubt, that such acceptance might in some way, not- withstanding the assurances of the Lodge, constitute a waiver of his claim to payment of sick benefits upon the basis of a new and inde- pendent illness.

For the payment accepted, Bro. Hall gave a receipt in the following language:

"Received, March 21, 1908, of Apollo Lodge, of Pocomoke City, Md., the sum of twenty-four dollars on account of sick benefits. $24.00. (Signed) Winchester Hall."

It was afterwards contended by Bro. Hall, no doubt in good faith, but under a mistake of memory, that this receipt was for twenty-four dollars for "four weeks' sick benefits," while the Lodge, having the re- ceipt in its possession, correctly insisted that the receipt was for twenty-four dollars "to apply on account of sick benefits."

June 9th, 1908, an additional certificate was made by the attending physician with a view to distinguish the illness of 1907 from the illness of 1908, but it cannot be said that the distinction is satisfactorily made.

A further certificate of the attending physician was made June 9th, 1908.

Taking into account the four certificates of the attending physician, coupled with the statement heretofore quoted from the letter of Bro. Hall, and considering them in connection with the standard authorities upon the "ailments" mentioned, it is made reasonably clear that the illness of 1908 w%is a continuation and further development of the' illness of 1907.

In the evidence are found two certificates made by two physicians to whom the certificates of the attendng physcian were submitted, in which they expressed the opinion that the illness of 1908 was a con- tinuation of the illness of 1907. It does not appear that Bro. Hall had any notice that the certificates of the attending physicians would be submitted to these experts. He therefore had no opportunity to cross- examine them touching the expressed opinions. We therefore hold the certificates incompetent, and have not considered them in deciding this ca.'^e.

— R

'2,26 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS -j Nov?!?? 1908.

We also find in the evidence a certificate of the Noble Grand and Treasurer of Excelsior Lodge, showing that in the year 1896, and inter- vening years to and including 1908, the Lodge had paid Bro. Hall for sick benefits the sum of eight hundred thirty-nine dollars.

It does not appear that Bro. Hall had any notice that this certificate virould be filed vv^ith the case. Even though Bro. Hall had been notified we held the facts stated in the certificate to be incompetent. We have therefore not considered this certificate in determining this case.

On September 9th, 1908, Bro. Hall wrote Excelsior Lodge as follows: "I am gratified to announce to you that the condition of my health war- rants me to request that my name be dropped from the sick list."

OPINION.

Upon a careful consideration of all the competent evidence sub- mttted, we are constrained to hold and do hold, that the illness of 1908 was a continuance of the illness of 1907, and therefore that for the first twenty-five weeks of the illness of 1908 Bro. Hall was entitled to receive sick benefits at the rate of four dollars per week and not at the rate of six dollars per week, and thereafter he was entitled to receive sick benefits at the rate of one dollar per week until, at his own re- quest, his name was stricken 'from the sick list, as of September 9,- 1908.

Bro. Hall's name having been stricken from the sick list as of September 4, 1907, at his own request, it cannot be held, even upon the basis of the illness having been a continuation of the illness of 1907, that he was entitled to receive sick benefits durng the tme that his name remained off the sick list. From September 4, 1907, when Bro. Hall's name was stricken from the sick list, until January 22, 1908, as of which date his name was restored to the sick list, Bro. Hall is not entitled to receive from Excelsior Lodge sick benefits.

During 1907, as heretofore stated, Bro. Hall was paid for twenty-six weeks at the rate of six dollars per week and one week at the rate of four dollars per week. Commencing January 22, 1908, he was, therefore, entitled to receive as sick benefits four dollars per week for the re- mainding twenty-five weeks of the second period of the six months, and thereafter until September 9, 1908, at the rate of $1.00 per week.

In making settlement with Bro. Hall, we therefore direct Excelsio> Lodge to pay Bro. Hall sick benefits at the rate of four Collars per week for twentj^-five weeks, commencing January 22, 1908, and thereafter at the rate of one dollar per week until September 9, 1908, first de- ducting all payments made to Bro. Hall on account of the illness of 1908.

The appeal of Bro. Hall is therefore dismissed, the action of the Lodge sustained, and settlement and payment directed upon the basis above stated. Duncan McDougall,

Conclusion^

So far as words and figures can express Odd Fellowship, I have endeavored to give a faithful record, which, after all, amounts to little compared with the great work which Odd Fellowship does in its kindly and helpful ministrations.

Without tlie fraternal, brotherly side of the Order, the record of which cannot be written, it never could have attained its present posi- tion among the societies of the world.

Odd Fellowship is a happy combination of the head and the heart, of business and fraternity, an organization which recognizes character, a school of tenderness and thoughtfulness, a builder of homes, a maker of good citizens, patriotic to the core. Long may it live to bless man- kind. I desire to acknowledge the uniform loyal -support of the mem- bership in the discharge of my official duties.

Grand Master Owen Scott has given a splendid administration, his eloquence has been heard on many occasions, and his ability every- where recognized.

I extend most sincere thanks to my associates and co-workers in all departments, and particularly to Major General James Henry Harris, Department Commander, Patriarchs Militant; Grand Patriarch F. D. P. Snelling; Grand Scribe John W. Tantis; President of the Rebekah Assembly Sister Margaret E. Weldon; and to Sister Mary P. Miller, Sec- retary of the Rebekah Assembly.

Looking forward to the one hundred thousand mark in membership, and with the earnest hope that each member may feel that he owes some service to Odd Fellowship, other than the payment of dues, and with greetings and best wislxes, I subscribe myself

Yours, in Friendship, Love and Truth,

Grand Secretary.

The Journal of Proceedings of 1907, held in the City of St. Paul, was approved.

The Grand Sire submitted the following report:

REPORT OF THE GRAND SIRE AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. To the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows:

Officers and Representatives: In this beautiful city of Denver, with its pure air and fraternal hospitality, we again meet in annual session to consider the work of the past year and to build for the future. In accordance with well established custom and the laws of our Order I submit to you for your consideration this, my final report as Grand Sire of this Grand Body. The Order continues prosperous ajid harmonious. It has been my endeavor to keep in fraternal touch with the work of Odd Fellowship throughout the world. I have written one or more letters to the Grand Sires of Australasia, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, to all of the District Deputy Grand Sires, to all Grand Masters and to all Grand Patriarchs. The following quotations from letters I have received in answer to my letters will be of general interest:

The following report from the Grand Sire of Germany is very im- portant and will be read with much interest:

"Berlin, July 21, 1908. "Mr. E. S. Conway, Hon. Grand Sire of The Sovereign Gi'and Lodge,

Oak Park, III.

"Honorable Grand Sire; Dear Friend and Brother Conway: With thanks I acknowledge receipt of your favor of June 1, asking me for information about the present standing of our Order in Germany. With regret I wish to state that I cannot give you the exact numbers, as the material for such is in the hands of our honorable Grand Sec- retary, who will send them to you with his first opportunity. As much as I am informed, the progress of our Order in Germany is now the same as last year. In spite of the hard times we had in Germany, there were initiated new members in nearly all lodges. One lodge had to return its charter, but new charters were granted to four lodges in cities where there are no Odd Fellows' lodges so far. There are more new lodges in progress for organizing. With great satisfaction, I can state that all over Germany the lodges were busy practicing the prin- ciples of our Order and not without success.

"Some lodges pay funeral benefit to their members, but besides this, there Is in existence a funeral benefit association consisting of Odd Fellows with an office at Munich, Bavaria. It being against the law in Germany to charge a premium or assessments for such associations, the contributions are voluntary. This association has paid since its existence about $250,000, and during the last year $21,000, and has a reserve fund of about $75,000. To take in consideration that our Order in Germany is only forty years old, and had a hard struggle during the

Nov!\^^1908. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, LO.O.Jf. 239

first years, and that the contributions are only voluntary ones, v/e feel proud of said results. Furthermore, our Order in Germany has a fund from wliich cliildren of poor members of our Order will be sent to high school and educated for better positions. The contributions to this fund are also voluntary and up to the present day more than $12,000 have been paid out of this fund to give many young men a good existence. There is a collection of about $10,000 on hand to erect an Odd Fellows' Old Folks' Home, and a site for the same has been bought near Berlin, and I think that the corner-stone will be laid next year. There is also in the Province of Brandenburg a colony where children of Odd Fellows can play and amuse themselves and so strengthen their health during vacation.

"Hon. Grand Sire: I realize that the numbers given above are small in comparison to the enormous numbers which can be given by our American Jurisdictions, but we have to take in consideration that there are only 6,000 members in Germany, but in spite of all that, you will see that the object of our Order has been fulfilled in Germany with brotherly love. So much for my report about the present situation of our Order in Germany. On June 21 and 22, 1908, the leaders of our European Jurisdictions had a meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and you will herewith find a copy of the resolutions adopted at said meeting.

"Hoping and wishing that this year's session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge may be a great -success, I remain

"With brotherly greeting in Friendship, Love and Truth,

Yours truly,

Paul Gerlach,

Grand Sire."

"Seventh meetng of the European Grand Sires, held June 21 and 22, 1908, at Amsterdam, Netherlands:

"The Grand Sires were invited to this meeting by the Grand Sire of Germany. The following Grand Sires were present: Paul Gerlach, Germany; Dr. Petrus Beyer, Denmark; Dr. Oscar Schaer, Switzerland; and Jean H. Odink, Netherlands. The Grand Sire of Sweden, "W. Lau- rentz, sent a telegram of greetings and regrets for not being able to attend meeting. The Grand Sires present acknowledged the telegram and expressed their sincere regrets for not having the Swedish Juris- diction represented.

"In regard to the intention of The Sovereign Grand Lodge to have the European Jurisdictions represented in that Body, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:

"The European Jurisdictions acknowledge with thanks the inten- tions of the Hon. Grand Sire, Brother E. S. Conway, to accomplish a more friendly and fraternal understanding between The Sovereign Grand Lodge and the other independent Jurisdictions of the world. Further- more, European Jurisdictions are very glad about the extraordinary.

240 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS | iuesday,

hearty and brotherly manner in which the Hon. Grand Sire, Brother Conway, extends the invitation to participate in the regular sessions of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, and they have the earnest and sincere wish that the intentions of the Hon. Grand Sire may become facts; at the same time, the Grand Sires of the European Jurisdictions cannot see that the way adopted at the session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, 1907, is a practical one.

"Grand Representative Hoagland, of Nebraska, offered to amend Section 6, Article IV, of the Constitution of The Sovereign Grand Lodge as follows: Section 6, etc.

"The Grand Sires present find in this amendment an urisolvable contradiction. The old Section 6, of Article IV, acknowledges the in- dependence of the European Jurisdictions and the Grand Lodge of Australasia, but if the new amendment is adopted, then the European Jurisdictions will not be independent any more, but will rank in the same line as the Jurisdictions of the United States now represented in The Sovereign Grand Lodge. The now independent European Jurjedic- tions will lose their rights which were partly granted to them through their charters for about 30 years and will be nothing else than ordinary States Grand Lodges. On account of the character of the European Grand Lodges differing from the character of the Grand Lodges rep- resented in The Sovereign Grand Lodge, the Grand Sires do not find it practical to debate or legislate at The Sovereign Grand Lodge about questions concerning only the now independent Jurisdictions, and on the other hand, they do not find it wise and practical to take part in ques- tions concerning only the American Jurisdictions.

"At least the Grand Sires see a danger in this amendment for the European Jurisdictions, for, being in the minority in The Sovereign Grand Lodge, the American lodges without doubt would control the now independent Jurisdictions. If the Grand Sires of Europe ever consent to have representatives at The Sovereign Grand Lodge, then it should be for no other purpose than to get into nearer contact with the leaders of all Jurisdictions, to elevate brotherly and fraternal feel- ings, and not to legislate and make laws, and that at such joint meet- ings The Sovereign Grand Lodge, being the Mother Lodge of our Order, has the absolute right to preside.

"The European Grand Sires beg to judge the above considerations with friendship and brotherhood.

Paitl Gerlach, Petrus Beyer, Dr. Oscar Schafer, Jean H. Odi^'k."

I replied to the Grand Sire of the Grand Lodge of Germany as follows: "Hon. Paul GerlacJi, Grand Sire, Kurfurstenstr, 2., Berlin, TF., 57, Germany.

"Dear brother Geklach: Your valued favor of July 21, reporting

NoV'!\?19'08. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 241

as to the work done in Germany during the past j'ear and inclosing report of deliberations had at the meeting of Grand Sires at Amster- dam, June 21 and 22, received. First, allow me to thank you for your excellent report, which conveys your marked manifestations of good cheer. Odd Fellowship is indeed fraternal, yet I know of nothing that gives greater evidence of its spontaneous philanthropy than the figures given in your report of the annual voluntary contributions and outlay in the care and maintenance of the aged, the needy and the young.

"Second, answering your joint report giving the views of the Grand Sires in answer to my recommendation that each Quasi-Independent Jurisdiction should be permitted to have a representative sit in the annual sessions of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. desire to say that it was not my thought, nor do I believe that of the Sovereign Body, that the presence of the representatives from such Jurisdictions would in any sense curtail or abridge the rights and privileges guaranteed under the charters granted to the Quasi-Independent Jurisdictions. My thought was rather that of the parent in inviting to the old home an adult son or daughter, giving them joyfully all the privileges and liberties of the old home notwithstanding the full knowledge that such child was already in charge of its home with the joys, duties and responsibilities incident thereto. I want to see as often as possible a representative from each Foreign Jurisdiction at the annual session of the Sovereign Body, not with the thought in view of bringing said Jurisdictions under our direct control other than that stipulated in your charters, but to feel that our Order, the world over, is really one great united brother- hood. This desire becomes more intensified and more real when I call to mind the fact that our great continent of North America is peopled by the sons and daughters of all the civilized nations of the world. Australasia has elected a representative in the person of Past Grand Sire Clarke, of Sydney, who will be in attendance at the Denver session this year and participate with us in our fraternal and brotherly rela- tions. Should the Sovereign Body at the forthcoming session think it wise to adopt the legislation suggested by me last year, giving the Jurisdictions operating under special charters full privileges, together with the payment of steamship and railroad expenses of said represent- atives, and you avail yourselves of the privileges granted, you may rest assured that it will in no sense interfere with or abridge the rights and privileges already accorded under the charters granted."

The following letter from Brother K. O. Schar, Grand Sire of Switzerland, will doubtless be read with much interest:

"Basel, Switzerland, June 17, 190S. "E. 8. Conicay, Grand Sire, Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., Oalc

ParJc, III

"Dear Beother Conway: In reply to your letter of June 21, in wfhich you wish a brief statement of the success of our beloved Order in

242 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { Tuesday,

Nov. 17, 1908.

Switzerland, I am pleased to say that the general condition of the Order in our country is good. All our six lodges are doing good work, true to the sublime principles of Odd Fellowship. The membership has now risen to 462; the net gain is not great, because we have lost a great number of members by death, but it is at least a gain.

"The assets of the Order in Switzerland amounts now to $41,248. For relief our six lodges have paid $2,146.41 during the last year. From 1871 to 1908 our lodges paid $48,490.57 for relief.

"The Grand Lodge of Switzerland held the last session May 16 and 17 at Langenthal. The officers for the years 1908-1910 are the same as hitherto. The next session of the Grand Lodge will be held May, 1910, at Bern.

"June 21, a conference of the European Jurisdictions of the Order is held at Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

"With kindest regards, I am

Cordially and fraternally yours,

K. O. SCHAR,

Grand Sire."

Brother George T. Clarke, Grand Sire of Australasia: "Referring to an official communication from you written about the beginning of your first ternj as Grand Sire of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, wherein you advised that an effort be put forth to increase the membership in the subordinate and Rebekah lodges, I am pleased to report that, so far as the Jurisdiction of New South Wales is concerned, we have increased our membership at even a greater rate than 10 per cent: Subordinate lodges, 11.60; Rebekah lodges, 11.5, and we are still going strong with a prospect of increasing at a much higher rate during 1908.

"This will, I am sure, be good news for tlhe representatives of The Sovereign Grand Lodge to be held during the month of September at Denver, U. S. A.

"I have other items of good news for our brotherhood in America; slowly but surely we are copying the good examples of the true fra- ternity set by the fathers of Odd Fellowship.

"The Government Actuary, after valuing the position of the Order in New South Wales financially, gives a certificate of a surplus of £13,698, about $68,490. What are we going to do with this money? What do you think? Nothing short of ear-marking it, to assist our indigent and aged members, and building in the near future a Home for the care of those who have nowihere else to go.

". . . . Your esteemed favor of the 27th of March duly to hand. Since that date two important events, in which I am nearly connected, have taken place; namely, the annual session of the Grand Lodge otf New South Wales, and the triennial session of the Grand Lodge of Australasia. Both meetings were very successful. At the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Australasia I was unanimously chosen as the rep-

resentative for the present year to The Sovereign Grand Lodge, which is to meet in Denver. I am now busily occupied endeavoring to get everything in order so that I may make the journey. Needless to say, I am looking forward to the time when I sihall have the opportunity of meeting the leaders of our Order. I know I have much to learn; on the other hand, if I can interest you in our methods, it is possible good will result both ways from my visit.

"My worthy friend, Brother William Raid, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, has been elected Grand Sire. I have every confidence in this brother that he will efficiently carry out the duties 'of the office I have just vacated. If time will permit, I will send you a brief report of the session of the Grand Lodge of Australasia."

The following from Sweden is of special interest:

"Stockholm, Sweden, June 15, 1908. "Eon. E. S. Comcay, Grand Sire, Oak Park, III.

"Dear Brother Conway: I have just received your favor of the 1st inst. and beg to thank you for your continued kind interest for our Jurisdiction. I feel assured that your benevolent, energetic and zealous efEorts for the welfare of our Order will not only be fully appreciated by all members of our vast Brotherhood throughout the world, but also in a great measure contribute to the spreading of our ideas. Your interesting, inspiring articles in the fraternal press have, of course, been translated into our language, published in our Odd Fellows' paper, and read with much interest by our members.

"As regards our work here, I may say that the last year has been a year of quiet, steady development. Our financial year ended on April 1, and we had on that date 39 lodges, with 4,347 members, and two encampments with 961 members, showing a net gain of lodge member- ship of 255, and an encampment membership of 125. Our net gain is not as large as it used to be, but this fact must be ascribed to the present depressed state of affairs here, as everywhere. The capital of our subordinates is now $285,818.61, showing a net gain for the last year of nearly $3,000.00. The capital of our Grand Lodge has also in- creased and is now $8,162.69. For relief of all kinds our subordinates have during the year paid $11,503.23 out of their funds, but I dare say that the real relief is a good deal more, because almost every one of our subordinates has, by voluntary contributions of their members, col- lected special funds for different benevolent purposes to be used in cases not strictly prescribed in our laws. In a short time we expect to institute two new lodges and two new encampments.

"I have not much more to add about our work besides what I wrote you on the 4th of December. Our Grand Lodge has' only quadrennial meetings, and we prosper as well by this system. In order to give the brothers who are not Grand Lodge members also an opportunity to express their wishes and discuss matters of interest for our work, we

have almost yearly 'Odd Fellows' Day.' These gatherings seem to be appreciated by our members, although they are not official and of course have no decisive power. The executive officers of the Grand Lodge are usually present, but not in official capacity. As a rule they are, how- ever, elected as president and secretary of the meeting. These meetings contribute also in a great measure to make members from different parts of our Jurisdiction acquainted and friends. Such a meeting will take place in Gothenburg on the 27th to 28th inst. Next Grand Lodge session will be in July next year.

"With highest personal regards for yourself and with best wishes for our Order, I remain, dear Brother Conway,

Yours fraternally,

Wm. Laukextz, Grand Sire of Siceden."

Brother Petrus Beyer, Grand Sire of Denmark, in answer to a letter written to him by Brother Andrew Christensen, of Chicago, says: "Your kind letter received and it pleased me to get the opportunity to renew our acquaintance from last summer. Regarding your question as to the waj'- we have secured the means to build the hospital for leprosy on the Island of Iceland, it was this way: The Odd Fellows put themselves at the head of the undertaking. It appeared to me to be the wisest course that the Order in such a national question ought not to act alone, but as a leader for the whole people; it was not the money consideration that was the factor by any means. We raised ourselves more than two-thirds of the capital needed, but, as said, we thought that the honor for the Order was greater by acting as leader in this national undertaking. The same is the case now, when we, on request from the Danish government, have placed the Order at the head of erecting a hospital for lepers on St. Croix; also in this case have we ourselves furnished by far the most of the money which, in this case, however, is not more than 70,000 to 80,000 kroner, while the Iceland undertaking was over 130,000 kroner. These facts are, as far as I can understand, those you would like to receive in order to communicate same to Grand Sire Conway, with whom I, however, in the last year or so, have been in friendly correspondence. Be so kind as to remember me to him when you see him, and with the kindest regards to yourself."

Brother L. Rankin, Grand Master of Saskatchewan: "Replying to your letter of the 23d of May last, requesting a report of the work in the Saskatchewan Jurisdiction, I am glad to report that the past j^ear has been the most prosperous one in the history of Odd Fellowship.

"As you are aware, we withdrew from the Grand Lodge of ilanitoba and started our Grand Lodge in May, 1907. At the time of the insti- tuting we had 30 subordinate lodges with a membership of about 1,400. We then made up our minds that we would advance the work of the Order here, and at the last session of our Grand Lodge, held here in May

last, I was able to report that I had instituted 10 .subordinate lodges and three Rebekah lodges, and that our membership had increased 50 per cent, having at that time over 2,200 subordinate members and 380 Rebekahs. These figures show that we have been keeping pace with the advancement of our Order. If it had not been for the financial depression and poor crop during the past year, our increase would, I believe, have been in the vicinity of 50 per cent more. I was compelled to discourage the institution of several lodges at certain points as, after looking into the situation, I believe that they were not at that time in a position to make the Order a success. But with everything at the present time pointing to a bountiful harvest, and the advent of more confidence in financial matters, I am looking forward to a large increase during the coming year, and would not be surprised to see it exceed the past one. Our Grand Lodge has had a very successful year. We started with nothing on hand, and the Grand Treasurer's report shows at the end of the year we had a cash balance on hand of $173.00, with all liabilities paid. We have also started a Home fund, which has a balance on hand of $122.40. We intend to keep adding to this fund, believing that at some day we may need a Home for worthy brothers. Odd Fellowship in this country has the respect of all people, and no fraternal organization is attracting more attention to its work than our beloved Order, and as people begin to realize the worth and teach- ing of the same they are anxious to become members and help fo advance the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth. Progress is the watchword of the Odd Fellows of Saskatchewan, and we are looking forward to that time, when we hope that this Province shall be the banner Province of Odd Fellowship in our fair Dominion of Canada."

Brother D. C. Robertson, District Deputy Grand Sire of Yukon Terri- tory: "It gives me great pleasure to report to you of the progress of Odd Fellowship in the Yukon Territory. We have had a very successful year so far in all the branches. Dawson Lodge, No. 1, has taken in eighteen new members this year and has three more elected for next month, and we have more in sight. We have been doing degree work every meeting of the term. Our good luck in regard to sickness still continues. We have never paid a dollar out in benefits to one of our own members in our seven years' existence. Klondike Encampment, No. 1, has also been very successful this year. It has taken in twelve new Patriarchs. Yukon Rebekah Lodge, No. 1, has also increased its membership. It has taken in seven new members during the year. I am pleased to report that in every branch there is new interest taken in the Order and harmony prevails, and there is every prospect of a con- tinued increase in membership."

I requested Brother E. H. Jenkins, Secretary of La Gloria Lodge, No. 8, L O. O. P., of La Gloria, Cuba, to write me a full account of what that lodge was doing, and under date of June S, 1908, he writes as follows: "After so long a time have got down to answering your kind letter

of April 13, to our lodge. You wish to know especially about our lodge. At the present time we have 37 members. We have in four years lost one by suspension, one bby death, eight by withdrawal; six of the latter went to make up a new lodge at Camaguey, soon to be insti- tuted. We are the only English-speaking lodge on the Island, and it has been difficult to even get letters answered by the Deputy Grand Sire of Cuba. I judge it to be a difficult matter to get a satisfactory Deputy Grand Sire for Cuba, as few that I know could meet the expense even if qualified. We have never had a visit from any Grand Officers. Our members have had to work hard to get the unwritten work perfect, but we flatter ourselves that we now have it as near so as the average lodge. We were very poor on the .start. It was several months before we had anything better than empty boxes and three-legged stools to sit upon. Our first 18 months we probably had more sickness than any lodge that ever came into existence with same membership. Brothers paid dues way ahead, loaned us cash, and contrived every way to, and did, meet all expenses. Now we have nearly $300.00 in treasury. Hardly any sickness last year. None whatever this year. We have initiated three since January 1. Our members are scattered. One at extreme west end of Island, three at east end, several 15 to 45 miles away. Of those within five miles we average over half in attendance every meet- ing, and several of these are merchants, etc., who find it hard to attend. Our Noble Grand this term so far has missed but one meeting. He lives nearly three miles out, and at times water enough so creeks have to be swum' on horseback. As "Vice Grand last term he did not miss a meeting. Our "Vice Grand this term has not missed a meeting. Our Noble Grand last term had to come in (mostly on foot) four miles over a road that has many times been navigated with boat with passengers and freight three and three-fourths miles. He missed roll call five times, but present before close of all but two meetings. This will give you a fair idea of the interest taken here and the difficulties overcome to attend lodge meetings during the rainy season. Many of our mem- bers go north "on business or pleasure every summer, yet there has never been but four lodge nights that a quorum was not present at opening hour. Two of the four nights there was rain such as people in the United States little dream of. Considering the number of people in this colony available for membership, we consider we have a nice lodge. We have fine meetings. Occasionally outings and excursions on the bay, and expect soon to institute a Rebekah lodge. I am going to the States next week and hope to visit .several lodges before my return."

Brother B. F. Sission, District Deputy Grand Sire of Gorgona, Canal Zone, Isthmus of Panama: "I would respectfully submit my report as your District Deputy for the Isthmus of Panama. I received my ap- pointment as Special Deputy under date of June 17, 1908, together with charter and books for Isthmian Canal Lodge, while at home on a vaca- tion in June and July. I returned and arrived on the Isthmus August

7, 1907. I immediately began to drill the brotheirs in the lodge work and on September 10, 1907, I instituted Isthmian Canal Lodge, No. 1, L O. O. F., at Gorgona, Canal Zone, with five card members, and after their election installed them into the respective elective offices. The work has been very progressive and the lodge now has 87 members, having initiated 18 since January 1, 1908. The lodge has over $1,000 in its treasury at the present time clear of all debts. I have been present at every meeting of the lodge and instructed and assisted them with the work, and I can assure you that the work will compare favorably with^some of the much older lodges in the States. In December, upon request, I granted the lodge a dispensation to hold a public installation of its officers in Januarj^ 1908, and on the evening of January 21, 1908, I conducted a public installation of its officers in the presence of over 200 members and friends (the best people in Gorgona), and it was a very enjoyable occasion. Many of them had never witnessed any cere- monies of the kind before, but it was encouraging to see that they were very much interested and paid strict attention to every detail of the ceremonies, which went off very smoothly. I had to di'aw Past Grands from all over the Isthmus, and we went into the hall without a rehearsal, and I have seen the ceremonies and movements in some lodges in the States done in no better form. There are more candidates elected and more applications under consideration. On the evening of November 6, 1907, I organized a Rebekah club at Gorgona with the purpose of getting material together sufficient to organize a Rebekah lodge, allowing all who are eligitrle to join a Rebekah lodge to become members, and have been very successful. I no'w have 50 members; about 15 have sent for withdrawal cards, so as to become petitioners for a charter. I have already received three of the cards. On the evening of January 6, 1908, about 50 men, some Odd Fellows, and more that wished to be, met and formed a temporary organization with the object of organizing a lodge in the town of Culebra, Canal Zone. (This is the town where the majority of the officers of the heads of Departments are.) At the second meeting, held January 20, I was present to give them instruction in regard to organizing a lodge and procuring a charter. There were nine withdrawal cards guaranteed, and 32 signed the list for new members and deposited their initiation fee. The com- mittee in charge have 80 names on the list pledged to join the new lodge if a charter is granted, and I would most heartily approve of granting them a charter as soon as a petition in regular form has been submitted.

"It would be for the interest of the Order to have a lodge at Culebra and Ancon and Cristobal, which woulld divide the Isthmus about equally according to the population. We have already taken steps towards a lodge at Cristobal, as there are quite a large number of Odd Fellows there and in the near vicinity. With such prospects of a lodge at Cule-

bra, the ladies there have begun to interest themselves in behalf of a Rebekah lodge as soon as they get a subordinate lodge.

"Odd Fellowship has certainly waked up since I started to work up material for Isthmian Canal Lodge a little more than a year ago, and this is a great field for the work. As a majority of the men here receive more pay than they got in the States, they feel more like join- ing, and then they have all their evenings to themselves and want some where to go, so if we can get them into an Odd Fellows' lodge it will keep them from some place where they would not be taught the up- building of human character.

"It has been said that the Isthmus Is the world's dumping ground, but if such is the case the good Lord has seen fit to dump some valuable material for Odd Fellowship."

Brother George N. Hurd, District Deputy Grand Sire of Philippine Islands: "I have the pleasure and the honor to report that Manila Lodge, No. 1, the only lodge under my jurisdiction, has had a prosper- ous, harmonious and uneventful year, resulting in an increase of eight members. At the beginning of the year we numbered 70. "We now have on the rolls (December 31, 1907) 78 members in good standing. This is more than you required of us, and if the other Jurisdictions had done as well you would have realized your laudable ambition of an increase of 10 per cent in the Order.

"The finances of the lodge are also in a healthful state, notwith- standing the fact that we have responded to frequent calls for relief, have purchased considerable paraphernalia and have secured a beautiful plot of ground as the last earthly resting place for the remains of our departed brothers.

"The proposed Rebekah lodge has been given up for the present, not liecause of lack of enthusiasm, but because the more conservative brothers concluded that because of the fluctuating character of our population it would be too great a strain to kgep up a healthy and vigorous lodge. The project of forming an encampment has also been discussed and even canvassed, but it is not believed that the time is ripe for that yet.

"Both of these hopes may be realized sometime, but not until we are stronger."

Brother Owen Scott, Grand Master of Illinois: "The Order in Illi- nois is in a most flourishing condition. The meinbership is enthusiastic and loyal. Our growth during the year ending March 31, 1908, is very satisfactory, indeed. There is a net gain in the membership of the subordinate lodges of 4,412, making our total membership 83,332. Not- withstanding the financial depression which has prevailed during the last year, we find that this net gain is greater than it was the preceding year.

"In the Rebekah branch of the Order there was a gain of 3,030, mak-

Nov^T7?19bs. !" GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 249

ing a gain of 434 more than the year before. The membership of this bi-anch of the Order is now 40,000.

"There is no discord or any difficulty of any magnitude in the entire State, so far as I am advised. In all the lodges there is the greatest enthusiasm and a desire to further extend the purposes of Odd Fellow- ship.

"The work in our two Homes has been very satisfactory. At Lincoln the Orphans' Home is flourishing and has at present a membership of a little more than 150. The board is erecting a new building to furnish facilities for domestic science training for the girls and manual train- ing for the boys. Also a complete and independent heating plant is being installed.

"At Mattoon at the Old Folks' Home the number seeking admission has been sufficient to crowd it to its capacity. At the last session of the Grand Lodge an appropriation was made for a new building to furnish additional accommodations for those seeking admission. This building is now under contract and will be completed during the coming year."

Brother Wm. A. Hastings, Grand Master of Massachusetts: "In com- pliance with your request I submit the following synopsis of the work accomplished in this Jurisdiction for the year now ending. Three sub- ordinate lodges have been instituted and two lodges consolidated; two Rebekah lodges instituted; one corner-stone laid and five halls dedi- cated. Notwithstanding the financial^ depression, the membership of our subordinate and Rebekah lodges shows a healthy and substantial increase. On June 30, 1907, the membership of our subordinate lodges was 57,493. On June 30, 1908, the number was 58,139, giving a net increase for the year of 646. Our Rebekah lodges reported a member- ship of 31,070 December 31, 1907, a net gain for the year then ending of 820. We have in Massachusetts 241 subordinate and 171 Rebekah lodges. We feel well satisfied with the results attained, considering the business depression which has been felt throughout our Jurisdic- tion, and we confidently predict a greater increase in the year to come."

Brother Richard Scott, Grand Master of Oregon: "The Order has prospered the past year as never before. Our increase was over 10 per cent. There were seven new lodges instituted during the year and nine new Rebekah lodges. Our Odd Fellows' Home proving inadequate to accommodate all of the applicants for admission, there was, on recommendation of the trustees, a large brick building, costing $25,- 774.00, put up. This we hope will be Jarge enough as a harbor of refuge for the aged brothers and sisters for many years to come. Besides this we have two other buildings on the grounds, one of which is for the orphans. I visited, officially, 110 subordinate lodges and 14 Rebekah lodges during my term of office, traveling nearly 8000 miles. Since January 1, 1908, the Order has made, I think, over 10 per cent of gain, and I am pleased to say we have not had a lodge surrender its charter

for several years. The anniversarj' of the Oi-der was celebrated in almost every lodge. There were six dedications of new halls on that day. Memorial day was also observed much more than formerly. It comes when the roses, Oregon's favorite flower, are in full bloom, and these were used in profusion in strewing the green sward of those who have passed to the Grand Lodge above."

Brother R. T. Goodwyn, Grand Master of Alabama: "It is very gratifying to me to inform you that, notwithstanding the fact that we have passed through a year of great financial stringency and depressed values, workshops and factories being closed down, Odd Fellowship in Alabama made splendid forward movement. During the calendar year

1907, 53 subordinate lodges have been instituted, with a net gain in mem- bership of 2,442, which made the membership in Alabama January 1,

1908, 22,698. To this number should be added the membership gained through the institution of fifteen subordinate lodges instituted from January 1, 1'908^ to May 10, 1908.

"The stability and growth of the Order in Alabama is further evi- denced by the fact that we have 465 subordinate lodges in Alabama, and of this number the charter of one subordinate only was surren- dered during my term of office.

"It is also gratifying to me to report that 22 Rebekah lodges have been instituted and eight Rebekah lodges revived during the past year. For this laudable work untold credit is due to the earnest efforts of the president and secretary of the Rebekah Sate Assembly of Alabama.

"It gives me unbounded pleasure to say that on September 2, 1907, the corner-stone was laid for the Odd Fellows' Home at Cullman, Alabama. On that occasion it was our pleasure to have with us Deputy Grand Sire John L. Nolen. The Home is to cost about $35,000, and will contain 200 rooms. It is the present intention to dedicate the Home about September 1, of this year.

"It grieves me very much to inform you that on April 27, 1908, our worthy and beloved Grand Secretary, H. C. "Weaver, died very suddenly in his home in the city of Huntsville, Ala. He served as secretary of the Grand Lodge of Alabama for 10 consecutive shears. He was a Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative. His consecration to the work of our fraternity will embalm his memorjr in the hearts of our entire membership."

Brother J. Shirlow, Grand Master of Quebec: "Since December 31, 1907, in the Province, I have succeeded in instituting five subordinate lodges, and expect June 30 to show an increase in membership for the six months of at least 250. This will be the best term we have had in this Province for years, and the outlook for the future is exceptionally bright.

"The Rebekah branch has also enjoyed a share of prosperity and has added two lodges to its number since December 31, 1907. I am not in

No^"T7?1[9b8. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 251

a position to give you the net increase in membership in this branch, but feel satisfied it will compare very favorably with the subordinate lodge increase."

Brother Thomas Embleton, Grand Master of British Columbia: "I am glad to be able to report a very substantial increase in both branches, and we have gained more than the 10 per cent asked for.

"At the beginning of 1907 our subordinate membership w^as 3809, with 39 lodges, and during the year we have instituted four new lodges and gained 493 members, which makes our membership at the end of the year 4,302, and 43 lodges.

"I am looking forward to the institution of two or three new lodges before the expiration of my term in June.

"The Rebekah membership at the beginning of the year was 836, with 10 lodges. "We have instituted four new lodges and gained 315 members, which makes the present membership 1,151, with 14 lodges.

"The subscriptions to the 'Home Fund' have been more liberal than any year since this fund was organized. It now amounts to $7203.77, an increase of $2376.77 during the year."

Brother C. C. Broome, Grand Master of Mississippi: "Considering the hardest political campaign we ever had in our State, the financial depression and the disastrous storms of this spring, we are in a good healthy condition, showing a net gain of 295^ We have worked during my administration principally to prevent lapses. Our record for some years past shows that we have a gross gain of about 1,200 members, while our net gain shows an average of about 300 members per year. After laboring earnestly and conscientiously with this proposition, we were convinced that our present system of handling the field work was inadequate. We recommended and the Grand Lodge adopted that we increase the salary of our Grand Secretary sufficient for his support, that he may give his entire time to the work. Also that he take the field work, under the direction of the Grand Master. I fully believe that under the changes we have enacted at this Grand Lodge, we will now grow in this Jurisdiction as never before."

Brother E. E. Hastings, Grand Master of Indiana: "There seems to be an interest in Odd Fellowship in Indiana. We now have 742 lodges with a membership of 75,000, with not a single delinquent subordinate ledge and have not had for 11' years.

"From the interest I find in my visits over the State, I believe that the report for this term will show a healthy gain.

"Our new Grand Lodge building at Indianapolis has just been com- pleted and it is the pride of all Indianians. This property is worth about $1,000,000, and is the greatest fraternal building in our State."

Brother Stephen J. Daring, Grand Master of New York: "I wish to siay that the increase in our membership has been very satisfactory. The report just came to me last week from Brother Walker, Grand

252 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { NovTl7!'\^'08.

Secretary, that we now number 113,650. This is an increase of about 5000 over last year."

Brother H. G. Coltart, Grand Master of Tennessee: "The Order is moving along nicely in this Jurisdiction and I think at the close of the fiscal year, the Order will have held its own in face of the very great financial depession."

Brother Henry J. Suder, Grand Master of Arizona: "I am pleased to have our report for 1907 for Arizona show the greatest increase in our history, over 23% per cent, averaging nearly 18 members each for our 21 lodges. This is a remarkable gain and earnestly hope that many of our Jurisdiction will show equally as good."

Brother Louis F. Hart, Grand Secretary and Grand Scribe of Wash- ington: "Our net gain in subordinate lodge membership for the year 1907 was 2,314. Prom the first of January to the first of June, of this year, AA'^e made an increas3 of 1500 members, includmg tl.e membership of 10 new lodges instituted; so that it is safe to say that on June 30, our membership had passed the 21,000 mark. Every one of the 243 lodges in our jurisdiction is in a healthy and prosperous condition. Our membership is more than the combined membership of any other two fraternal orders in the State. Patriarchal Odd Fellowship is also in a very healthy condition. We made a net gain of 655, about 19 per cent, in 1907, and our net gain for the first five months for this year is about 600, with four new encampments instituted. The increase in Retaekah Odd Fellowship last year was 1,506. Since January 1 we have instituted 10 Rebekah lodges and resuscitated two lodges that had been defunct for a number of years."

Brother John D. Nix, Grand Master of Louisiana: "We made an increase of 633, the largest in the historj'- of our State. We have much to be thankful for."

Brother A. McCormack, Grand Master of Manitoba: "I estimate the increase numerically will be about 500 for the first term of 1908, and this is very encouraging considering the conditions both commercially and financially during the past year. Things have changed materially during the last month, the indications point to a bountiful crop for those who till the soil, and as we are essentially an agricultural country, the silver lining in the cloud of financial stringency is revealed, and the bow bright with the promised golden wheat fields, have inspired all my District Deputy Grand Masters to assure me that during the next six months they will have still better results. Our 64 lodges are all in a healthy condition and the spirit of enthusiasm pervades the members and they take a delight in upholding the standard of Odd Fellowship. We have added another Rebekah lodge during the term with a membership of 125, and this branch is growing very rapidly."

Brother Wm. R. Kennedy, Grand Master of Michigan: "In reply to your favor shall say that we are forging ahead at a remarkable rate,

o^\^7^^19'08. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 253

each 5'ear apparentlj^ doing- better than the last. Total estimated mem- bership on January 1, 1908, 49,062. 'Fifty thousand strong' is our slogan for the present term, and the indications are that we will not only reach and pass the mark, but that we will have a good majority to spare."

Brother Van T. Manville, Grand Master of New Mexico: "Our gain in membership for 1907 was 292. I know of no special work being done now, but hope after another Grand Lodge we may have the special work of starting a building on our Home property."

Brother A. L. Shaw, Grand Master of Nevada: "It is with the greatest of pleasure for me at this time to be able to give you a clear report of the Order's progress in this Jurisdiction. Since the first of the year our little band has increased its membership, I believe to be above the average term of six months. Although there has not been a subordinate lodge instituted during my term in ofRce, I am more than pleased to say that in every respect the lodges are working in a credit- able manner to promote the noble cause laid before us, practicing Friendship, Love and Truth with the best interest of Odd Fellowship that dwells in the heart, imbued with fraternal love, to all within the fraternity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. We have admitted 133 in the subordinate lodges and about 120 in the Rebekah lodges, since January 1. The above is the net gain, as I have also taken the number out of those who have severed their connection with the Order. The present membership of the subordinate lodges, 1600; of the Re- bekah lodges, about 1350."

Brother Louis Miller, Grand Secretary and Grand Scribe of Wyorn- ing: "At the request of Grand Master Matt Borland, I give you here- with a report of the condition of our Order in the State of Wyoming. Number of subordinate lodges December 31, 1906, 34; number of sub- ordinate lodges December 31, 1907, 39; increase 5. Number of members December 31, 1906, 2049; number of members December 31, 1907, 2313. increase 264. Number of subordinate encampments December 31, 1906, 13; number of subordinate encampments December 31, 1907, 14; in- crease 1. Number of members December 31, 1906, 386; number of members December 31, 1907, 493; increase 107. Number of Rebekah lodges December, 1906, 20; number of Rebekah lodges December, 1907, 22; increase, two lodges. Have since instituted two more Rebekah lodges. Number of members December, 1906, 1040; number of members December, 1907, 1112; increase 72 members. We are doing nicely this first six months of this j'ear; have three applications for subordinate lodges vmder consideration. Our State since railroads are building through the State is growing and new towns are springing up and settlers are coming in fast and we will soon have many new lodges."

Brother Frank B. Sirman, Grand Master of Delaware: "Your letter of Maj^ 20, asking for a brief general report of the work in my Juris-

diction up to July ], received. In reply will say that everything seems to be working in harmony.

"During the last weelc in April we held a competitive drill in the city of Wilmington on the initiatory degree. We think it will do the Order good as quite a crowd of brothers witnessed it and all of them wish us to hold one every year. We are now using our new Rituals, and all of the brothers to whom I have talked think they are quite an improvement over the old ones."

. Brother Joseph Newitt, Grand Master of Colorado: "The increase in membership from January, 1907, to January, 1908, was 823, and I am of the opinion that from July, 1907, to July, 1908, the increase will be about the same ratio; the exact figures are not obtainable, the reports from all lodges not yet being in the hands of our Grand Secretary.

"I find a verj"- prosperous condition existing in Odd Fellowship all over the State. Four new lodges have been instituted already and several ohers about to be. I have had the pleasure of dedicating three magnificent halls, which are a credit to the Jurisdiction and the State. Much interest is being shown in the coming session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge in Denver, and I predict a very large attendance from all over this Jurisdiction. Our committees on entertainment have matters well in hand, and I feel sure that those who come to Denver from other Jurisdictions will agree with me, that The Sovereign Grand Lodge made no mistake in selecting Denver as the place for holding the com- ing session. When The Sovereign Grand Lodge met in Denver in the year 1887, we had 65 subordinate lodges with a membership of 3656; we now have 156 lodges with a membership of over 14,000."

Brother Calvin Endress, Grand Master of Vermont: "The net in- crease in this Jurisdiction for 1907 was 201. No special work of general interest has been done. Our work has been for the three higher officers to visit one-third each of the subordinate lodges and to attend in a body the ten district meetings and with remarks and their presence to enthuse new interest in the Order in this Jurisdiction. Our work seems to be meeting with good success. Since February there have been instituted in this Jurisdiction two subordinate lodges and one Rebekah lodge. I would estimate our gain in membership from January 1 to July 1 of this year to be 300."

Brother L. W. Smith, Grand Master of Iowa: "I consider the Order in this Jurisdiction to be in a very prosperous condition. While the ihcrease may not be large, there has been a general improvement in the lodges all over the State, and no troubles of any importance have occurred during the present term."

Brother J. W. Wilkerson, Grand Secretary of Missouri: "I am happy to report to you that the net increase for last year in this Jurisdiction is about 4000. We fully expected to make it 5000, but some of the boys fell down during the last six weeks of the j'ear and so we

No^^ 17^1908. 1 GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. ^ 255

came out a little short. Everything now seems to be moving along nicely and the outlook was never better."

Brother H. D. Mack, Grand Master of North Dakota: "Replying to your letter of some time ago relative to the growth of the Order in this State, will say our membership increased about 20 per cent during the year 1907, making a membership of about 5500 at the end of the year."

Brother Fred Switzer, Grand Master of Oklahoma: "The year 1907 has been the banner year for Odd Fellowship i*i Oklahoma. During the year we have gained 18 subordinate lodges and 1339 in membership. While the gain in membership and new lodges has not been as large as in some previous years, we have a Home at Carmen valued at $40,000.00, which we have built and paid for, dedicated on April 22, completed and furnished without one cent of indebtedness hanging over it. "We now have forty members in this Home, all happy and contented. We think that we have just cause to be proud of what we have accom- plished in one short year, and all done without being burdensome upon the members. Last year while we were building the Home our per capita tax for all purposes was but $1.40, and this year it was reduced to 50 cents, 10 cents of which was for the maintenance of the Home. The Rebekah Assembly also levied a tax of 10 cents per member this year for the Home. Our Home is located iipon 1'60 acres of as good farming land as there is in Oklahoma. The farm is well stocked with horses, cows, hogs, and poultry, and we expect that the products of the farm will go a long way towards defrayng the expenses of the same."

Brother D. M. Bridges, Grand Master of Kentucky: "The best esti- mate I can make from the reports received is that we will have a net gain of from 1800 to 2000, with about thirty new lodges. Had hoped to have been able to have made a better report, but owing to the finan- cial condition and the tobacco troubles in our State, the work has been greatly retarded."

Brother Charles B. Knott, Grand Master of South Dakota: "This is going to be a banner year in this Jurisdiction. We have instituted five subordinate and four Rebekah lodges, so far, and have charters signed for that many more, to be instituted as soon as we can get to them. We have set our mark at 10,000 by the next Grand Lodge session, and while we will fall some short, the increase will be most gratifying. Have made several visitations in different parts of the State during the last month and find most lodges in a good healthy condition."

Brother J. D. Beck, Grand Master of Wisconsin: "The total increase for 1907 was 747. This was a larger increase than the total increase for six preceding years. For the last ten years the first half of the year, from July 1 to December 31, there has always been a decrease in mem- bership. From July 1, 1907, to December 31, 1907, we increased 247, which shows that we are beginning to wake up in Wisconsin."

256 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS j Nov" nfwos.

Brother W. Stetson Rogers, Grand Master of Maritime Provinces: "It has been impossible until now to give you figures required for our Grand Lodge year. Four new lodges have been instituted and the total number of candidates initiated, as far as reports are in, is 1040, a net increase for the year of 751. With the assistance of Grand Lodge Offi- cers this has been a record j'ear, and our Order has gone ahead and many lodges that have been dormant for a number of years have taken a new lease of life. We are proud of the personnel of our increase. None but those who are worthy have been admitted. The ballot box was well guarded and our motto has been quality before quantity. I trust that this the closing j-ear of your official position as Grand Sire has" resulted in great gains to our Order and that the practice of Friend- ship, Love and Truth has grown throughout your entire Jurisdiction."

Brother Frank Crowther, Grand Master of New Jersey: "Have made a probable gain of 1,200 in 1907. We have also raised $29,000 for Home purposes and have bought the property of the Old Home Associ- ation for $12,000, to which we are preparing to build a considerable addition. The Rebekah branch is also erecting a new Home for orphans at a cost of $20,000. Industrial conditions are against us as regards a great growth in membership this year, but we are going to keep right on working."

Brother Wm. D. Cecil, Grand Master of West Virginia: "The year closing November 20, 1907, showed the institution of 13 new lodges. One lodge surrendered its charter. A net gain in membership of 2371. Since that time up to December 31, 1907, two lodges were instituted and a gain in membership of something near 200. There were 13 new encampments instituted with a gain in membership of 1083.

"Twelve new Rebekah lodges and four dormant resuscitated with a net gain in membership of 650. During the three months since the last session of our Grand Lodge, three dispensations for new lodges have already been issued with two more pending and a gain of nearly 500 members."

Brother George W. Scherer, Grand Master of Minnesota: "Member- ship in the subordinate lodges December 31, 1907, 19320, making a net gain of 1659. Total receipts of the Order in this Jtii-isdiction for the past year $248,661.18."

Bi-other E. Forster Brown, Grand Master of Alberta: "In August last there were 33 subordinate lodges, with a total mmebership of about 2200. Since that time, six new lodges have been instituted, and the total membership is now about 3000. In addition to the above I expect there will be two more subordinate lodges instituted before oiu* Grand Lodge meeting to be held next August. One Rebekah lodge has been instituted and one which was dormant for several years has been revived, so that we now have four Rebekah lodges in working order, and one to be instituted at Medicine Hat on the 30th inst.

in the Jurisdiction have been visited since last Grand Lodge by myself or Special Deputy, and on the whole were found to be in exceedingly good condition. Since the institution of our Grand Lodge November, 1905, splendid progress was made, under our late Brother C. Comer, Past Ga-and Master, and Brother A. E. May, Past Grand Master, and I am pleased to say that during my term of office as Grand Master the same splendid progress has continued, and as the outlook for the future is very bright, I trust the same progress will continue. The Odd Fellows of Alberta are enthusiastic for the advancement and wel- fare of the Order."

Brother P. B. Ogden, Grand Master of California: "In reply to your letter of inquiry of recent date shall say that during the past year the Order has prospered in all branches both numerically and financially. The increase in the subordinate branch has been 1334 brothers and in the Rebekah branch 1452 sisters and brothers. The sum of 25 per cent of contributions to the earthquake sufferers was returned to the con- tributors, except The Sovereign Grand Lodge and California. The most excellent literature sent out by you to the Brotherhood I deem to be of the utmost interest to the Order and extend to ^^ou my personal thanks for your so doing."

Brother E. G. Hurlbutt, Grand Master of Connecticut: "Membership in subordinate lodges January 1, 1908, 19,513; membership in subordi- nate lodges July 1, 1908, 19,752; gain 239. While this is not as good as we expected, yet, owing to the financial condition, it is doing very well."

Brother J. T. Blalock, Grand Master of Georgia: "From the few reports received the indications now are that in our 402 lodges wa will have about 31,300 members or an increase for the past term of some 1300."

Brother E. E. Craig, Grand Master of New Hampshire: "It gives mo great pleasure to report the Order in this Jurisdiction in a healthy and sound condition. While the increase in membership has not been as great as we hoped for at the beginning of the year, yet we have made a substantial gain."

Brother C. C. Vaughn, Grand Master of Virginia: "Virginia has well kept her position among the progressive Grand Jurisdictions, as the following figures will show: Membership January 1, 1907, 25,521; net gain in membership during 1907, 2902; membership January 1, 1908, 28,423. The above figures relate to the subordinate lodges. In the Rebekah lodges not so good a report can be made: Membership January 1, 1907, brothers, 1460; sisters, 1586; total, 3046; gain during the year, brothers, 170; sisters, 181; total Rebekah membership, 3397.

"Last July lodges were requested to report to the Grand Master the names of brothers about to be dropped for non-payment of dues, and a great many names were so reported, and a personal letter written

to each. This has been a great labor, but it is believed it has not been wasted, several instances coming to my notice where members written to have paid their dues and remained in the Order. Almost every known method has been employed to reduce the loss by non-payment of dues to a minimum. How well we have succeeded remains to be determined. Virginia holds her own very well, I think, and we hope to continue in the future as well as we have in the past."

Brother Perrin Busbee, Grand Master of North Carolina: "The Order in this Jurisdiction has made average gains during the past year: In subordinate lodges an increase from 206 to 228, a net gain of 22 lodges. Membership has increased from 13,699 to 15,412, a net increase of 1713.

"Rebekah lodges have increased from 24 to 30, a net gain of six; the membership from 1308 to 1516, a net gain of 208. Attached hereto is statement showing increase.

"The most important work of the year has been the perfecting of the district work. The Jurisdiction is divided into 20 districts, each under the charge of a district supervisor. This is in addition to the regular lodge deputies appointed for each subordinate. Each district holds on an average three district meetings or conventions during the year. The membership of the meetings is composed of representa- tives from each subordinate lodge in the district, but any Third degree member can attend and take part in the meeting. The work done at these meetings consists of formulating such plans as will strengthen and increase the membership of the subordinates in the district, ex- emplifjing the secret work, conferring the degrees by trained degree teams, plans looking towards the establishment of new lodges, etc., etc. Usually the social side of the Order is brought prominently forward and public addresses are made by prominent members of the Order.

"In one district a yearly fund is raised by the subordinates in the district to provide for the collegiate education of an orphan girl of one of the deceased. brethren, his lodge not being strong enough finan- cially to provide the funds by itself This young lady was raised and educated at our Orphan Home at Goldsboro, and is now receiving fur- ther training at the State Normal and Industrial School at Greensboro.

"Another important matter has been the establishment of an official organ of the Order in this Jurisdiction, which was effected about Christmas. For many years an Odd Fellows' newspaper called 'The Orphan Home' was published- at the Home in Goldsboro by the older children of that institution, with the assistance of the superintendent. While this paper was useful in many ways, it failed to fill in many particulars the needs of the Order in this Jurisdiction. It was too small a publication and lacked a trained and efficient editor. At the last session of the Grand Lodge it was decided for the Grand Lodge to finance the paper, enlarge it and place a competent man in charge a.s its editor. The committee elected St. Leon Scull, a prominent lawyer of "Windsor, North Carolina, who is an enthusiastic member of Tusca-

NovITt^'w'oS. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 259

rora Lodge, No. 212. The name of the paper has been changed to 'The North Carolina Odd Fellow,' a four-page, seven-column paper, which is being well edited and gives promise of more than paying the expenses of publication. ,

"Last November, Brother Nathaniel Jacobi, a Past Grand of Cape Fear Lodge, No. 2, of Wilmington, North Carolina, died at a ripe old age, beloved by his brethren and held in high esteem in the community in which he lived. Brother Jacobi was known to the Order in this Jurisdiction as the 'Father of the Orphan Home,' having introduced in the Grand Lodge of North Carolina the first resolution looking toward the establishment of such an institution. As the present Home is now strained almost to its utmost capacity, it has been deemed fitting to build a new dormitory building at the Home, to be known as the 'Jacobi Memorial Building.' A committee for that •purpose has been appointed by the Grand Master, who will make report and recommendations In respect to same, to the coming session of the Grand Lodge. The com- mittee consists of the following: Eugene P. Albea, Winston, Chairman; Richard J. Jones, P. G. M. (Grand Treasurer), Wilmington; Julius Slocomb, P. G. M., Goldsboro; John F. Bruton, P. G. M., Wilson; Jos. G. Brown, P. G. M., Raleigh; James P. Sawyer, P. G. M., Asheville; W. H. Weatherly, P. G. P., Elizabeth City.

"The Order in this Jurisdiction is in good condition and its growth substantial. Like other Jurisdictions, we have suffered on account of the recent panic, but for which our net increase would have been con- siderably larger. The present condition, however, is very satisfactory."

Brother A. Frank Ross, Grand Master of Indian Territory: "Ours being a new country, with a different emigration flowing In from all quarters, constantly, we may necessarily expect trouble more or less, but while that is the case, we have made a rapid growth from year to year, until we have become a creditable Grand Body. When I was installed into the office of Grand Master last April, I found many weak lodges, and some of them in confusion, but since then I have made special visits to such lodges, and have brought about harmony and fraternity, so that said weak lodges have become invigorated and con- tention driven from our ranks. In some two Instances the corrupt element had the upper hand so that it could not purge itself or punish offenders. If charges were preferred the lodge acquitted and sent the offender away unpunished, so I came to the rescue and arrested the charter and gave a new dispensation to the choice ones who have built prosperous lodges where it had not done anything for months before, because if a good man petitioned, he was rejected by the corrupt. During the year just past I have instituted 30 new lodges in most prosperoua communities, which is the greatest growth we ever experienced, besides our old lodges had undergone an unusual growth and are now in a better condition than they have ever reached before. Our Home is our monument of superior pride; it is now worth over $100,000. We have

50 children and four old, decrepit sisters and brothers, and have room for more than three times as many and are receiving new accessions constantly. We are setting our rich farm in fruit and when set and bearing it will yield over $30,000 annually, which will make it self-sup- porting. While we are doing so well our twin sister is keeping pace with us, her age, growth, numbers and resources are quite similar to ours and I am glad to say that there is no jealousy between us. Both rejoice in each other's prosperity. In fact we are looking with pleasure to the time when we will become one and the same Grand Lodge. I had the great pleasure of visiting the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma at its last annual session in October, in Oklahoma Citj'. I was treated royally and enjoyed my visit hugely.. We expect many of them to visit us at Sulphur, April 14. Being a member of our first legislature, I am with them all the time now and becoming anxious for said union."

Brother J. W. White, Grand Master of Florida: "Our reports up to December 31, 1907, show a gain of over 500 members in this Jurisdiction for the year. From April, 1907, the time of my election to the office of Grand Master, to April, 1908, our gain will be about 800. We have organized three or four new lodges this year (1908) and there are one or two more in sight. I am very much pleased with the condition of the Order in this Jurisdiction. I have made an effort to keep up the interest in our lodges by official visits and a number of official cir- culars."

Brother Clark O'Hanlon, Grand Master of Nebraska: "The Order in Nebraslva is experiencing a lively growth and a great deal of interest is manifest throughout the Jurisdiction. Our report for 1907 shows a gain of more than 10 per cent, and we hope to make the year 1908 even better. All branches of the Order are prosperous."

Brother H. Schwartz, Grand Master of Texas: "The Order in Texas has made greater progress during the past year than at any other time in the history of Odd Fellowship in Texas. Seventy-eight lodges liave been instituted since the last meeting of the Grand Lodge, while com- missions are now out for the institution of several more, which we expect to be instituted during the present week. Five lodges have been resuscitated and a number of weak, struggling lodges have been very materially strengthened and built up numerically and financially. The net increase in membership for the past year is 4564 members, which gives a sum total of 30,178 Odd Fellows in this Jurisdiction. This does not include a number of lodges instituted during the last part Of the term, and not required to report for term ending December 31, 1907. The net assets as taken from semi-annual reports reached the sum of $1,002,365.53. Relief has been extended during the year to 2,854 brothers to the amount of $28,588.55."

Brother Chas. L. Kelly, Grand Master of South Carolina: "The Order in South Carolina will show a net gain in membership of several

hundred during- the past year. I think the Order is in the best con- dition in this Grand Jurisdiction in the history of Odd Fellowship in South Carolina. We have been working along safe, conservative lines during the past year, and the results are very satisfactory. Our Orphanage has added quite a lot of enthusiasm to our membership, and we feel confident the Order in this Grand Jurisdiction will show very remarkable gains in membership in the future."

Brother Tristam Mowry, Grand Master of Rhode Island: "I am pleased to report a slight gain both in subordinate and Rebekah lodge membership. Several of our subordinate lodges have been unusually active and alert; on the other hand, many, I regret to say, have been the reverse. Hence the results have been somewhat disappointing. However, it is a source of gratification that we have more than held our own, which perhaps is all that we could reasonably expect to accomplish under present conditions. I believe the prospects for the future are encouraging."

Brother B. M. Powell, Grand Master of Kansas: "December 31, 1906, we had 37,776 members in the subordinate branch; December 31, 1907, we had 40,813; net gain, 3037. We have instituted about 20 new lodges in that year. The Rebekah branch is increasing correspondingly in numbers and all along the line indicates a healthy growth. We believe we will have a greater increase this year than we had last year. It is with pride that I point to the present Grand Lodge year. So far we have instituted 12 new lodges."

Brother F. D. P. Snelling, Grand Patriarch of Illinois: "We have made splendid progress in every way; we have materially increased our membership and have succeeded in raising the standard of the work generally throughout the Jurisdiction. I have received semi- annual reports from over half of our encampments showing an average net gain of six for each encampment, plainly indicating a total net gain of 1290 for the six months ending June 30, 1908, and it is fair to estimate that we will increase this number to 1600 by the end of our year, assuring us of a net gain of over 15 per cent, being the amount requested by you at the commencement of the year, and I am proud of the fact that the Patriarchs of Illinois have responded so nobly to the appeal of their Grand Sire.

"The system of districting, which was adopted at the last session of our Grand Encampment and put in operation this year, has proved of great benefit to us. The District Deputies have performed their work well and have been a great stimulant to the encampments — especially the weak ones.

"A great interest has been manifested throughout this Jurisdiction, nine new encampments have been instituted to date, located in live communities, with four more in prospect. Eight dormant encampments

262 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { N(^" n'^^libs.

have been revived and three closed. The latter three were located in small communities where the subordinate lodge or lodges were weak and on the decline. There has been created a desire among the Patri- archs to eliminate all rough, unseemly conduct in the degree work, and a faithful effort is being made in nearly every encampment to confer the degrees with dignity and impression, which appears to me more important than the increase of members at this time.

"I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the splendid assistance and helpful encouragement you have given me during my administra- tion and to congratulate j'ou on the magnificent advancement the Order in general has made under your leadership."

Brother Ben Wei die. Grand Patriarch of Missouri: "In response to your inquiry as to what has been done in Missouri in the past six months, I will say that I have instituted seven new encampments and revived some of the dormant ones. I have mailed a circular to every Patriarch in the State (through his encampment), and I have requested the Past Grand Patriarchs and all deputies of every kind to assist me in building up the Patriarchal branch of our Order in this State. I believe I can honestly say to you that in spite of the financial and business depression there is more interest manifested at the present time than has been for many years heretofore, and from the fact that I have before me this evening ten letters requesting information regard- ing the institution of encampments and requesting me to visit their city or town is a good indication of how matters are progressing. You can say that Missouri is determined to 'go on' and will show The Sovereign Grand Lodge that Odd Fellowship is alive in every sense, and that we are determined to have a greater percentage of lodge membership in the Encampment branch. I trust every Jurisdiction will have as good or a better report."

Brother George H. Stearnes, Grand Patriarch of Vermont: "Our membership January 1, 1908, was 1,855, and July 1, 1908, it is 1,891, showing a net gain of 36 for the past six months."

Brother G. C. Greiner, Grand Patriarch of Texas: "My administra- tion commenced October 14. My predecessor left me with 15 delinquent encampments with from three to five terms and 14 defunct encamp- ments. Nine of the 15 delinquents have been resuscitated, four of the defunct encampments have been restored. There have been 11 new en- campments instituted this year with about 185 new members.

"The stringency of money matters in the latter part of 1907 and then the high water this year has kept several encampments from being instituted. But I expect to institute about five more new encampments before my term closes, besides cleaning up my delinquent and defunct list."

Brother M. D. Dawson, Grand Scribe of Ontario: "During the year just closed six new encampments were instituted and one dormant

Nov!T7!^i9b8. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 263

encampment resuscitated — all with brilliant expectations. The term ending December 31, 1907, we made a net increase of 1,100. Suspen- sions for non-payment of dues had gone down to a minimum, and the present term, as far as reported, there are very few. Thirty-two en- campments already reported show a net increase of 187 members. They only show 20 suspensions.

"I have not the slightest doubt that the year now closed will be the best in our history. From the meeting of The Sovereign Grand Lodge in Toronto, the Order has been booming over the entire country. People generally had not previously realized that Odd Fellowship cut such a figure in the civilized world. Now they know that it is one of the greatest Orders on earth. It has the Jargest membership and dispenses more for relief and education. It is no vain boast that it relieves distress, supports the widow, tends the sick and educates the orphan. The Great I Am will continue to bless and prosper such an institution."

Brother Alfred A. Ferguson, Grand Patriarch of Arizona: "The in- crease in membership in the Patriarchal branch of our Order in Arizona during 1907 has been 69 members. I find that from January 1, 1908, to about February 15, there has been about 35 applications received. I have urged upon the officers of the encampments the necessity of mak- ing themselves proficient in the secret and ritualistic work and to en- deavor to do the degree work in a creditable manner."

Brother John Gerhardt, Grand Patriarch of Michigan: "Our receipts increased during the 3'ear 10 per cent and membership over 8 per cent, so we have not made so bad a showing after all."

Brother G. W. Titus, Grand Patriarch of Kansas: "The subordinate encampments show a decided gain over the first half of the previous year, and when the reports have been received for the last half we will have made a splendid gain for the year. We have instituted three new encampments with others in formation, and peace and harmony and good cheer prevail among the Patriarchs in this Jurisdiction."

Brother H. D. Speakman, Grand Patriarch of New Jersey: "The increase in the Encampment branch in this Jurisdiction up to the first of July from all reports received is in keeping with that of several years past, notwithstanding the severe financial depression.

"In addition I would report that the regular annual session of the Grand Encampment is no longer to be held at the same time as that of the Grand Lodge, a custom which has prevailed here for many years, but will meet six months later, or in the month of May instead of November.

"I have instituted a policy of holding a number of special sessions in various parts of the State. The effect has been that many times the number of past chiefs have received the degree than at any previous

264 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS { Novell 7*? W 08.

year; a number having been past officers for over 30 years. It has re- awakened their interest in the Order. Later in the evening, following the special sessions, open meetings for Scarlet degree members have been held, when eloquent speakers have set forth the claims of Patri- archal Odd Fellowship. The effect has been most satisfactory and has been strongly approved by vote of the Grand Encampment."

Brother Otto Breith, Grand Patriarch of Kentucky: "In answer to your inquiry as to the condition of the Encampment branch of our Order in Kentucky, I beg to first call your attention to the report of R. G. Elliott, Grand Scribe, page 105, of 1907, Proceedings of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, as follows:

Kentucky. — R. G. Elliott, Grand Scribe, writes: 'You will notice that the Encampment reports show an increase in membership. How- ever, if the encampments in the State that should have been closed up were closed up, there would be a loss instead of an increase. I do not feel that the Encampment branch is in as flourishing a condition as it should be with the work being done in the subordinate lodges.'

"I found these conditions to be true when I accepted the office and decided to either close up the encampments, or get them to report, allowing them the longest possible time in which to get to work.

"The first six months of my term was spent in investigating the conditions.

"1. I found that in many cases the Scribes failed to present the correspondence from the Grand OflScers to the members, forgetting to take the mail to the meetings.

"2. In the mountain districts of our State I found that many en- campments were unable to confer the degrees properly, never having seen it done elsewhere, which caused a lack of interest and failure to make reports.

"The first condition I partially overcame by writing to some one in the camp other than the Scribe.

"The second I hope to overcome by the following recommendations, which I presented to the Grand Encampment and which were adopted:

"1. That the Grand Encampment of Kentucky designate some de- gree Staff to exemplify the three degrees before the Grand Encampment in May, 1909.

"2. That the work be done on Tuesday night before the meeting of the Grand Encampment.

"3. That the Encampments send a full representation to the Grand Encampment and request them to be present to witness the work on that night.

"4. That the conferring of these degrees be under the supervision of a committee of three to be named by the Grand Patriarch.

"5. That a special notice of this meeting be sent out to every En- campment at Jeast 30 days in advance.

"6. That the expenses of the degree staff in traveling to and from, and while at the meeting be paid for by the Grand Encampment.

"I introduced a membership contest in the State which closed April 1. The first part of the contest was aot very encouraging, but the clos- ing pleased me very much.

"One of the mountain encampments, with but 14 members, re- instated 26 and exalted 44; total 84.

"After this contest I gave special attention to the delinquent en- campments and with a very strong letter I threatened to close them up if they failed to report.

"The Grand Scribe reported that more encampments had paid up this year than for several years.

"I regret that it was necessary to close up seven encampments.

"The Grand Scribe's report to The Sovereign Grand Lodge which closed January 1, 1908, shows a gain of 33, but the effect of my mem- bership contest is not shown in this as the increase was made after the report was sent to you.

"One encampment up to January 1 lost seven members for non- payment of dues and after that in the contest gained 38.

"The several gains in the contest will overbalance the loss of closing up those who could not report.

"I firmly believe I have weeded out the dead timber, leaving a clear field to work in and if the work is carried on this term it will result in a good increase in the State, as we have several applications on our file now, and I have instituted one encampment myself since surrender- ing the office, and three others are ready to be instituted at this writing."

Brother William E. Pike, Grand Patriarch of New Hampshire: "We have 38 encampments and have made a net gain of 48."

Brother J. C. Wilson, Grand Patriarch of West Virginia: "The growth of the Patriarchal branch of the Order for the year 1907 was 826.

"I am fully in accord with you on the matter of committing to memory all charges which are to be delivered and also that it is very essential for the good of both that the subordinate lodges and encamp- ments work together and in harmony."

Brother Louis A. Cook, Grand Patriarch of Massachusetts: "In compliance with your request that I send you a statement of the condi- tion of the Encampment branch of the Order in this Jurisdiction, I de- sire to call your attention to the following extract from my report as Grand Patriarch:

" 'There have been 703 additions to this branch of the Order for the year 1907. This is the largest number since the year 1901. Of these 660 were added by initiation, this also being the largest number since 1901. The number of members who died during the year was 194, this

266 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] Nov" n?ms.

being about 35 in excess of the average for the last eight years and the largest death roll in our history. The number of withdrawals has been 80, the smallest number since the year 1895. The fact that there have been so few withdrawals is a significant indication that there is really a renewed interest in Patriarchal Odd Fellowship. The number of suspensions was 192, and this is also another straw pointing to an increased interest, as this is also the smallest number since 1890. The largest number of Patriarchs reported in this Jurisdiction was 11,152, which number was reported for the year ending December 31, 1901. The number appearing upon the rolls December 31, 1907, was 11,138. This is 14 less than the highest number heretofore reported; but there is not a shadow of a doubt that the accessions from January 1, 1908, to date far exceed this difference, so that I- may confidently say that I surrender my office leaving the largest membership in the history of Massachusetts.'

"I think that you will agree with me in thinking that the Patriarchal branch of the Order is on the tidal wave of success and that the follow- ing years will show even better results than those attained during the past year."

Brother P. C. Dunn, Grand Patriarch of North Carolina: "We began our term with very flattering prospects and would, no doubt, have had a 'banner* year had not the financial depression set in when it did, which has seriously hampered and retarded our work at a number of places."

Brother J. M. Felton, Grand Patriarch of Oklahoma: "The encamp- ments in this Jurisdiction are mostly in a very prosperous condition, and reports I get from visiting Patriarchs are very flattering. I think the financial panic of last winter had some influence on the lodges throughout this Jurisdiction to a more or less extent, but at the same time most of the deputies that have written me give very good accounts of their respectve encampments. I look for a greater increase after the busy part of the season is over."

Brother Thomas J. Gates, Grand Patriarch of District of Columbia: "During 1907, we made a little numerical advance, but seed was sown which is now bearing good fruit. Shortly after the receipt of your letter of October 11, 1907, I sent -a copy of it to each of our subordinate encampments and each of them actively took up the matter of endeav- oring to secure the increase asked for by you, and some of them ap- pointed special committees to canvass for new members. The sugges- tions made by you for increasing interest in this branch of our Order have done much good. Owing to the fact that the grand visitations in the subordinate lodges were going on during the latter part of 1907, there was little conferring of degrees in the encampments, but about the beginning of this year we seemed to strike the crest of a wave of

Not^ rr^^ms. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 267

enthusiasm, and every encampment is doing work. I have never seen the outlook so bright as it is now, and I consider the prospect for an increase of 15 per cent by the end of my term, July, 1908, excellent."

Brother W. J. H. Taylor, Grand Patriarch of Florida: "The Patri- archal branch of our Order under my Jurisdiction has not increased as much as I would have liked it to have done. We have made from the reports so far received a net gain of 87."

Brother J. A. Makepeace, Grand Patriarch of Rhode Island: "The Patriarchal branch made no numerical progress in this Jurisdiction for the j^ear ending December 31, 1907. No special work was done dur- ing the year other than that of the Grand Officers, who, in their visitations to the several encampments, have endeavored to the best of their ability to awaken greater interest and activity on the part of the Patriarchs. With much improved business conditions in our State, we have hope that the condition of the Patriarchal branch will show an improvement at the close of the present year."

Brother Fred S. Bates, Grand Patriarch of New York: "We haye 175 encampments and a membership. May 26, 1908, of 17,770, making a net gain of 1788 during the past year. Patriarchal Odd Fellowship is prospering in this Jurisdiction."

Brother D. Lemmon, Grand Patriarch of Utah: "The Encampment branch is progressing finely- in this Jurisdiction during the past year, and we expect to be able to report at the next meeting of our Grand Encampment an increase of 12 per cent or better. Hard times, scarcity of employment, etc., incident to the recent financial depression, have only served to bring the brothers closer together and aroused a deeper interest in the work of the Order. The rapid forward stride being made by the subordinate lodges is reflected in the increased interest and gain in membership in the encampments. A gratifying spirit of harmony exists between the encampments and the other branches of Odd Fellowship throughout the State."

Brother Marshall I. Smith, Grand Patriarch of Connecticut: ''Mem- bership January 1, 1908, 4134; membership July 1, 1908, 4279, gain 145. The balance is on the right side and much better than the encampments have usually done, but if the financial conditions improve we will do much better."

Brother F. E. Froling, Grand Patriarch of Wyoming: "It gives me great pleasure to advise you that the Encampment branch of the Order has done very well the past year. We have instituted two encampments and revived one, and gained in membership. The Patriarchs seem to be working hard in nearly all of the encampments to increase the membership."

Brother J. M. Davis, Grand Patriarch of South Carolina: "We have just finished one of the most successful years in Patriarchal Odd Fel-

268 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS . \ Not" Tt^^OOS.

lowship in the history of this Jurisdiction. While we are yet compara- tively wealv in tliis exalted rank of our great Order, our increase during the past 12 months has been over 60 per cent in encampments and almost 100 per cent in membership. There has been a decided awaken- ing of interest recently within the ranks of the Scarlet degree mem- bership in encampment work throughout South Carolina."

Brother W. H. Coffin, Grand Patriarch of Washington: "We have made a net gain for the year 1907 of 655, an increase of 19 per cent and we have every reason to believe that the gain for 1908 will be equally as great."

Brother F. A. Rosenblatt, Grand Patriarch of Tennessee: "I will state that the outlook in this Jurisdiction for the Encampment branch of the Order is good, but we are not making rapid strides. There ia peace, harmony and good will, and we hope for better results in the future."

Brother H. J. Suttle, Grand Patriarch of Wisconsin: "The Patri- archal branch of the Order is gaining slowly in membership. There is not as rapid a growth as we would like to see."

Brother S. J. Erckert, Grand Patriarch of Alabama: "We consider the Encampment branch here in a prosperous condition. We are not trying to institute new encampments only in places where there are good prospects of building up live lodges. The hard times have had some effect in keeping down the membership, but things are look- ing better for the future."

Brother F. E. Pierce, Grand Patriarch of California: "January 1, 1906, California reported 101 encampments and 7653 members, and prospects good; interest and enthusiasm manifest. Then came the dis- asters of the following April, striking consternation to all hearts, but the mighty response from all sections, accompanied with words of cheer, put renewed energies to work, and we closed the year with 8224 members, a gain of 571 members, and 166 subordinates, a gain of five. We followed this with a faithful year's work, and the report of 1907 shows on January 1, 1908, 8733 members, a gain of 509, and 107 subordinates, a gain of one.

"But the present term (ending June 30, 1908) will be the record- breaking one in the history of Patriarchal Odd Fellowship in California. The Grand Patriarch, with general approbation of the Jurisdiction, determined in compliment to the veteran Grand Scribe, Wm. H. Barnes, to make an extraordinary effort and concentrate on a specified date (in April, 1908) for a great increase. This effort has been grandly successful. Seven new encampments have been instituted since Janu- ary 1, 1908, and indications are that one or two more will be formed shortly. Old subordinates have awakened to marvelous activity and enthusiasm; admissions are the general rule throughout the Jurisdic- tion. What the actual increase has been we are unable to state until

Nmr" rrlwbs. I GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 269

reports for the term are received, and it will be the last of July before they are obtainable, but indications are that the net gain for the term ■will be in the neighborhood of 1000."

Brother George "W. Stough, Grand Patriarch of Ohio: "I am pleased to report continued prosperity in the Patriarchal branch of our Ordei in the Jurisdiction of Ohio. Only one encampment .has been instituted, but three dormant ones have been resuscitated and started anew in the good work and are doing fine. It is a pleasure to note that we have been able to more than hold our own, both in membership and finances. Much active work has been going on since July, 1907, in some portions of the State, which encourages the belief that at the close of the year the results will be most satisfactory, in this branch of Odd Fellowship, and we hope for a bright future in Ohio."

Brother Chas. P. Brown, Grand Patriarch of Indian Territory: "We are not in as good a condition in the encampments as we are in the sub- ordinate lodges. Our Grand Scribe shows me the reports from only one- half of the encampments which show some increase in membership. The other half of encampments have not yet reported, but as one-half give us net gain of 567 members in good standing and I have personal knowledge of two more that have a combined membership of 170 members, leaving 16 encampments to report the balance of 305 members to bring us up to the last Grand Encampment date, or an average of 19 members each. Based on last year's reports there are more than 305 members in these 16 encampments, so that taking it as a whole we are gaining, though I desire a remedy for the delinquencies in mak- ing reports."

Brother J. L. Naylor, Grand Patriarch of Idaho: "In compliance with your request, I am glad to report that Patriarchal Odd Fellowship is improving in interest and a higher standard of degree work is being put on. We will have a small increase in membership this year with a bright outlook for the future."

Brother F.C.Kent, Grand Patriarch of Mississippi: "The Patriarchal branch of our Order in Mississippi am sorry to say is not progressing as well as I could have wished. At the same time I have to report one encampment organized at Meridian on December 21, 1907, and have just sent dispensation to organize one at Laurel."

Brother W. H. Thorpe, Grand Patriarch of British Columbia: "In reference to the growth of our Order of the Encampment branch of the Province of British Columbia for the year 1907, and the first six months- of 1908, I am glad to be able to report a very substantial in- crease in this branch. We have gained more than the 15 per cent asked for the year 1907. I am pleased to be able to state that we have made an increase of a little over 16 per cent and have instituted one new encampment.

270 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] ^luesday.

Nov. 17, 190S.

"With regard to the fii'st six months of the year 1908, I am sure it will show a more substantial increase than the corresponding six months, as the reports I have just received from the District Deputies all show a larger increase and I am looking forward to the institution . of two or three new encampments before the expiration of the year 1908."

Brother Chas. '^. Fox, Grand Patriarch of Pennsylvania: "Sometime ago I made a list of all towns in the State having over one hundred Odd Fellows and no encampment, secured the names and addresses of the secretaries of the lodges located there, and mailed each one a copy of the enclosed letter. The result is that we have a gain of four encampments, making 262 now active. Instituted one on the 30th, an- other has its petition for a charter in and 8 or 10 are working with the future institution in view. We report a gain of about 500 members, making us at present about 17,850, and am satisfied that we will double that gain by October 1."

Brother W. R. Stephenson, Grand Patriarc]^ of South Dakota: "In regard to our Encampment branch in this State, I am pleased to report that it is in better condition than ever before. We made a gain last year of over 23 per cent, and now have 1,500 members, which we think is pretty good. Most of our encampments are in good healthy con- dition and doing good work. We feel very hopeful for the future."

Brother R. Nicholson, Grand Patriarch of Colorado: "The Patri- archal branch of the Order in this Jurisdiction is in a very flourishing condition. We gained 200 members during 1907, and since January every encampment in the Jurisdiction has been doing work except one, taking in from five to twenty candidates during this time. I instituted an encampment a month ago, with a membership, including card mem- bers and initiates, amounting to 80, and the good work is still going on."

Brother C. L. Charrest, Grand Patriarch of Manitoba: "Our increase in the Encampment branch for the year ending December 31, 1907, was 270, making a gain of 23 per cent. While the increase is not as large as I promised you, I consider it fair considering the depression which existed during the latter part of the year. Only two new encampments were instituted, both relatively small when compared with the three started in 1906. It gives me great pleasure to report the revival of two encampments which had been dormant for some time, but are now on a good footing."

Brother George C. Tracey, Grand Patriarch of Maryland: "I am glad to say that our Encampment branch is doing good work and our aim is to further increase the interest by having the degrees properly ex- emplified and the social feature more thoroughly practiced."

Brother A. A. Montgomery, Grand Patriarch of Iowa: "I have made about 40 official visits, helped institute six new encampments (and one

Not"i7?196s. ( GRAND LOD(}E OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 271

\o be instituted May 21), resuscitated four dormant encampments. "When I was installed there were 18 encampments which were delin- quent one or more reports, and I am now pleased to inform you that we only have five that are back and will get them into line soon."

Brother H. M. Beckwith, Grand Patriarch of Oregon: "I am pleased to report the Encampment branch of Odd Fellowship in a very flourish- ing condition in Oregon. We have instituted eight new encampments since January 1, 1907, and will institute one more on the 28th of this month, and one on the 22d of January, 1908. I have worked hard to make it 12, one for every month in the year, but have the promise of two or three more early in the coming year. I quite agree with you in the matter of the encampments discontinuing paying sick benefits, and have agitated the same wherever I have visited. I am pleased to report about 60 new members admitted to my own encampment this year, and only one dropped for non-payment of dues, a great deal of the credit for which is due our Scribe, Patriarch Sharon, who is also Grand Scribe. I am also glad to report the Patriarchs taking more interest in the Patriarchs Militant branch. We have instituted two new cantons this fall and will institute one here in Portland the 31st of this month, making five in all in Oregon."

DECISIONS.

(For action on these Decisions see page 351.) During the year I have rendered the following decisions:

SXTBOBDINATE LODGE DECISIONS.

Decision 1. Question 1. Is a brother who becomes a member of a sister lodge by virtue of the transfer law, enacted at the last session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, entitled to benefits from the time he signs the Constitution of the new lodge with which he unites, or must he be a member of the new lodge six months before he is entitled to sick or other benefits?

Ansicer. — His standing in the new lodge or encampment is the same as In the one from which he transferred his membership.

Question 2. — Please define and make clear what is meant by "chang- ing his residence from the Territorial Jurisdiction of his lodge or en- campment to the Territorial Jurisdiction of another?"

Answer. — The Territorial Jurisdiction of a lodge or encampment is that territory, fixed by the Grand Bodies of the Jurisdiction, from which the lodge or encampment may secure its applications for membership.

Decision 2. Statement. — A brother belonging to a lodge in this town moves away to another Jurisdiction. After residing there for some time he sends an application to his lodge here for withdrawal card, stating also that he wishes to join a lodge at his new place of residence, also our by-laws state that the price of withdrawal card is one dollar.

272 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS 1 Nov^TT^iabs.

Question. — ^Would this brother come under the transfer law of mem- bership of the 3'ear of 1904, so as to entitle him to receive the card for the cost named in the resolution, 25 cents, he being otherwise entitled to receive the card?

Answer. — Tes, provided he has been elected to membership en hi3 official certificate or visiting card; if he has not been so elected he must pay the fee of $1.00 required by the by-laws of the lodge granting the withdrawal card.

Decision 3. Statement. — A brother presents his official receipt show- ing dues paid four weeks in advance and applies for membership on account of change of residence, and under the "Transfer of Membership Law," but before his transfer certificate has been received by his new lodge, and therefore before he has signed the Constitution of said new lodge, he again changes his residence.

Question. — Is he a member of either lodge?

Answer. — He is a member of the old lodge, the lodge from which he is transferring his membership, until the transfer is completed.

Decision 4. Question 1. — May a brother be admitted to membership by transfer without fee upon deposit of an unexpired withdrawal card? Answer. — No, unless so provided by local legislation.

Question 2. — Is transfer of membership without fee limited to cases where transfer certificates are applied for and obtained by the lodge electing an applicant to membership?

Answer. — It is now so limited.

Decision 5. Statement. — Brother "A" is a member of "B" lodge in good standing. He, Brother "A," makes application to "B" lodge, required fee accompanying same, and obtains a withdrawal card from said "B" lodge. "A" then moves to a distant city or town where "C" lodge is located. The Uniform Constitution and By-laws read as fol- lows: "For deposit of card within one year from its date $2.00."

Question. — Can Brother "A" join "C" lodge without paying any fees for same? Answer. — No.

No^^n^lSOS. i GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 273

Tlebekah lodge would it be lawful to receive transfer certificates in place of withdrawal cards, or would it be lawful for an encampment, lodge or Rebekah lodge to issue transfer certificates to any of its members who may wish to institute a new encampment, lodge or Rebekah lodge? Ansicer.^No. ,

Decision 8. Statement. — A brother in this city makes application for, and receives, a withdrawal card; after holding the card a short time he petitions another lodge (in this city) for membership by deposit of withdrawal card, not having changed his residence.

Question. — Can the lodge to which he applies for membership charge any admission fee?

Answer. — Yes.

Decision 9. Statement. — Report No. 115 in the Daily Journal of the recent session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge found upon page 153, as follows:

Report No. 115. By Representative Melosh, of New Jersey, from the Committee on Legislation was considered and adopted.

To the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows: Tour Committee on Legislation to whom was referred the resolution offered by Representative Stocker, of the State of Washington, making a change in the transfer of membership, having considered the pro- vision of said proposed amendment, approving thereof, recommend the following:

Resolved, That the resolution hereinbefore mentioned and referred to, be and the same is hereby adopted.

Signed by the Committee.

which you will notice refers entirely to a proposed amendment to the Transfer of Membership Law.

By reference to the Resolution offered by Representative Stocker, of Washington, which appears on page 58 of the Daily Journal, under the heading, "Resolution No. 33," you will note that he offered two resolutions, one an amendment to the Transfer of Membership Law, and the other a resolution repealing the law of 1904, and the amend- ment thereto, as follows:

Resolution No. 33. —

Resolved, That a member of the Order in possession of an official Certificate or Visiting Card changing his residence from the Territorial Jurisdiction of his lodge or encampment to the Territorial Jurisdiction of another, and desiring to unite with a lodge or encampment at his new place of residence, upon making application for membeVship, ac- companied by his ofHcial certificate or visiting card, showing his

dues paid in advance, and being elected as provided by local law, upon notice being sent by the Secretary or Scribe, to his lodge or encampment said lodge or encampment shall, unless charges are pending against him, without ballot and without fee, issue a transfer certificate and send the same, at once, to the Secretary or Scribe sending for the same; and upon receipt of the transfer certificate the member shall be entitled to sign the Constitution and become a member of his new lodge or encampment, without the payment of any admission fee; provided, that if a physician's certificate is required he must pay the expense of the same.

The issuing of a transfer certificate shall sever membership in the lodge or encampment issuing it; provided, that if the member becomes sick or disabled or should die within four weeks of its date and before completing his membership by signing the Constitution of his new lodge or encampment, then said transfer certificate shall be cancelled and said member shall retain his beneficial standing in his old lodge or encampment, the same as though no transfer certificate had issued.

Provided, further, that a brother, desiring to receive the advantage of the preceding proviso, must pay his dues four weeks in advance o^" the date of his transfer certificate.

The provisions hereof, except those relating to benefits, shaP "-pply to Rebekah Lodges the same as to Subordinate Lodges and Encamp- ments.

Be it further resolved, That the resolution on page 761, Journal, 1904, known as the "New Transfer Law," and the amendments thereto on pages 778 and 784, Journal, 1906, and all decisions and legislation in- consistent herewith, be, and the same are hereby repealed.

The Committee only reported in favor of the amendment to the old law and not in favor of the repeal of the previous legislation except, of course, in so far as it was inconsistent with the amendment adopted. This distinction it appears to me is quite important, as thereby the Committee and The Sovereign Grand Lodge maintained all of the decisions giving life and vitality to the Transfer of Membership Law, and which were carefully considered and passed upon in 1905 and 1906, by The Sovereign Grand Lodge.

Question. — What is meant by Report No. 115?

Ansicer. — The consideration and adoption of Report No. 115 by The Sovereign Grand Lodge adopts in its entirety Resolution No. 33.

Decision 10. Statement. — A member of a lodge in this Grand Juris- diction who now lives in another Grand Jurisdiction, about eight miles from the nearest lodge in said Jurisdiction, desires to change his mem- mership, by transfer, to another lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction two and one-half miles from his present place of residence.

Question. — Can this brother change his membership from his own

Nov" r7^^^'08. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 275

lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction to the one in this Grand Jurisdiction near his residence without first getting a permission from the Grand Master of the Grand Jurisdiction in which he resides? Anstcer. — Yes.

Decision 11. Statement. — A lodge, whose annual dues were ei^ht dollars, changed its by-laws relative to the reinstatement of dropped members, which read: "Shall pay an amount equal to one year's dues," so as to read "Shall pay an .amount equal to six months' dues," and Fubmitted it to the Grand Master for his approval or disapproval; he failed to either approve or disapprove, but returned the following: "Shall pay the sum of four dollars," and stated that that would be the law of the subordinate lodge until changed according to their by-laws. The lodge was not willing to accept the verbiage of the Grand Master and returned it to him and asked him to either approve or disapprove the amendment as submitted to him. This he refused to do and wrote back the same reply as before. The lodge returned same to him once or twice more with the same result as before, until finally the Grand Master declared the lodge suspended for insubordination. The members of other subordinate, Rebekah and Encampment branches in the same city took the matter up to try and have the said suspended lodge rein- stated. This, however, through no solicitation on the part of the sus- pended lodge, and after several weeks a compromise was effected and the lodge reinstated.

Question 1. — Did the Grand Master have the right to change the verbiage of amendment submitted? Answer. — Yes.

Question 2. — Did the Grand Master have the right to reinstate the subordinate lodge without first having his act suspending said lodge passed on by the Grand Lodge in open session?

Answer. — Yes.

Decision 12. Statement. — A Grand Jurisdiction has a law providing that all members must belong six months before becoming beneficial. An amendment is adopted making members admitted by card imme- diately beneficial, but does not change the existing law in regard to initiates.

Question. — Is such an amendment legal? Answer. — Yes.

Decision 13. Statement. — A subordinate lodge in this Grand Juris- diction was recently suspended by me as Grand Master for insubordina- tion. Now come those who claim to have had no connection with the disloyal act and ask that the Grand Master restore the charter, during the recess of the Grand Lodge, to them.

27:6 JOURNAL OP proceedings ]N?v"n!^%S.

Question 1. — Can the Grand Master restore the charter, without the action of the Grand Lodge, to only those who were loyal and bar those who were guilty of the act of insubordination?

Ansicer. — No.

Question 2. — Will the restoration of the charter restore all the mem-, bers to their former standing in the Order? Ansicer. — Yes.

Decision 14. Statement. — In one of our cities in this Grand Juris- diction the brothers (three from each lodge), have formed a visiting committee for the purpose of having a systematic method of visiting the lodges, assisting in conferring the degrees and generally devising plans to create a better feeling between the lodges and to encourage the lodges to be active and progressive, the members of this committee being appointed by the different lodges, and may be constantly changed. The committee have prepared a short set of by-laws governing the members, copy enclosed.

Question. — Is this committee an organization prohibited by Section 1105, Busbee's Digest? Anstcer. — No.

Decision 15. Statement. — An approved by-law of a subordinate lodge provides that the senior member of the Board of Trustees shall be chairman. After serving some time the position of chairman is made vacant by resignation, moving from the jurisdiction or by death. The lodge then elects and fills the vacancy in the usual way.

Question. — ^Would the newly elected member be chairman of the Board or could the lodge even declare him chairman with the by-laws as above quoted, the State Constitution being silent in the matter?

Answer. — No.

Decision 16. Statement. — A brother is under care of a physician and has been for some time, but he refused to be guided by the doctor's advice, failing to comply with his directions and stubbornly going on trips and keeping late hours and many other things against his direct order, as a result he became seriously ill.

Question. — Is he entitled to benefits?

Ansicer. — Yes, unless his illness is the result of immoral conduct.

Statement. — A brother, being seriously sick, discharges his physician and employs a "healer," so-called. His lodge, realizing his condition, sends another physician, who is also discharged by the brother and his fanaily, who continue the services of the science healer. The physicians who saw the brother say that he has pneumonia and a complication of other diseases. Also blood poison caused from the too early use of a broken leg.

Question 3. — At a meeting of the said Standing Committee called to elect an officer to fill a vacancy, one of the Grand Representatives being present, the Grand Master ruled that the Grand Representative present was not entitled to vote.

right to speak.

Question. — Would it be legal for the Grand Lodge to adopt the fol- lowing as covering the point involved above:

I Tuesday, 278 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS f Nov. 17, 1908.

Answer. — No.

DECISION- 19. Question. — Is the provision of the Subordinate Consti- tution legal that makes one class of members admitted on a withdrawal card 'beneficial at once, and another class (those who have not been members of the Order for six months) admitted on a withdrawal card not beneficial until after six months?

Ansii:er. — ^Yes.

Decision 20. Question i.— What are the rights of a member who is more than 13 weeks in arrears for dues? Can he speak to a question which is before his lodge? Can he make a motion and speak to it? In other words has he any rights except to be present and sit in his seat i

Ansicer. — Yes.

Question 2.— Can a lodge pass a by-law saying that a brother in arrears for dues shall not have the right to take part in the proceedings of ibis lodge?

Answer.— "No.

Que.<ition 3. — Does not the general law give a brother in arrears the right to take part in the proceedings?

Aiisvcr. — Yes, except depriving him of the right to vote.

Decision 21. Statement. — A brother is proposed by card, when the ballot is had the Noble Grand declares him rejected, a discussion arises, after which the Noble Grand stated he was not sure but that he might have mistaken a discolored ball for a black ball, he thereupon destroyed the ballot and ordered .a new one, upon the second ballot the candidate is elected, and the Noble Grand declares accordingly. The next meeting night when the minutes are read the Secretary reads the record showing action only on the first ballot, which rejected the applicant, making no mention of the Noble Grand's declaration as to his doubt and of his ordering a new ballot by which after inspection by the Vice Grand and Noble Grand he declared the applicant elected. Upon objection being made to such minutes the Secretary admits he failed to record the declaration of the Noble Grand as to his doubt concerning the first ballot, the destroying of the ballot and the new ballot, because as he said "In his judgment the second ballot was illegal, and he did rot propose to record illegal acts." In this contention he was upheld by a Past Grand Master of the lodge, and he prevailed upon the lodge to approve his act.

Question 1. — Had the Noble Grand the right when not certain as to the result to order a new ballot? Answer. — ^Yes. Question 2. — Was not the applicant elected upon the second balloi.

No^"l7^196s. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 279

t^e lodge having acquiesced in the action of the Noble Grand and per- mitted the new ballot to be had? Answer. — Yes.

Answer. — Na

Decision 22. Question 1. — When a petition for membership is pre- sented to a lodge and referred to a committee for investigation, has the committee a right to take the petition, or should it remain in the hands of the secretary?

Answer. — The petition should remain in possession of the Secretary.

Question 2. — Do you interpret Section 1947, Busbee's Digest, to mean that all the evidence and proceedings connected with the trial of a brother should be copied in the minutes of the Lodge by the Secretary?

Ansicer. — Yes.

Question 3. — In balloting on the guilt or innocence of a brother on trial, or the punishment to be inflicted, should a record be kept of the number of white and black balls cast?

Answer. — No.

Decision 23. Statement. — A brother bought a saloon and engaged in the selling' of liquor, but before buying he resigned from the Order. He now wishes to regain membership in the Order again, being an upright man.

Question. — What ntiode of procedure is necessary in order that he may, or can he again become a member after resigning from the Order?

Answer. — Can make application as an Ancient Odd Fellow, using his certificate of resignation as evidence of former membership.

ENCAMPMENT DECISIONS.

Decision 24. Statement. — A beneficial member of an encampment in this State died last April and who was at the time of his death in good standing in said encampment and entitled to sick benefits, but no branch of the Order was permitted to participate in his burial by reason of the religious faith of his family.

Section 75, of the Constitution of Subordinate Encampments, as pre- scribed by the Grand Encampment of this Jurisdiction, is as follows:

"Funeral expenses: At the decease of a beneficial member of an encampment who was at the time of his death entitled to benefits there may be appropriated toward defraying the expense of his funeral a sum not exceeding $100. This appropriation shall be expended by the Chief Patriarch or some other Patriarch in charge of the burial on behalf of said encampment. But if no branch of the Order was per-

280 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS | No\"T7!Yy'o8.

mitted to participate in his burial by reason of the objections of friendl or relatives of the deceased, or if he was buried in such a manner that no expense was incurred against his estate, or by the Order, then no funds shall be drawn from the treasury of said encampment under this section.

"An encampment may by by-law limit the amount of said expenses, provided, that the sum shall not exceed $100."

The encampment to which said Patriarch belonged limited the amount of said expense to $50.00.

Question 1. — Can said encampment be required to appropriate the sum of $50 toward defraying the expense of the funeral of said Patri- arch ?

Ansicer. — Yes, unless the expenses of the funeral were paid by an- other organization.

Question 2. — Is Section 75 of the Constitution of Subordinate En- campments of this Jurisdiction in conflict with the recent legislation of The Sovereign Grand Lodge as appears in Report 100, found on page 311, of the Journal, 1907?

Ansicer. — Yes. While the resolution stated "funeral benefits," the evident intent was to include "funeral expenses."

Decision 25. Statement. — Encampment No. 3 desires to consolidate with Encampment No. 1. A few of their members (some six or eight) are absent and cannot be here to sign the Constitution of the consoli- dated encampment.

Question. — Is it actually necessary for them to be here in person to sign the Constitution? Ansicer. — No.

Decision 26. Statement. — At the annual session of a Grand En- campment during the year 1907 a resolution was passed appropriating $300.00 from the funds of said Grand Encampment in aid of the Patri- archs Militant.

Question. — Was and is this appropriation legal? Ansicer. — No.

EEBEKAH DECISIONS.

Decision 27. Statement. — A new Rebekah lodge is formed in a city where there was already a Rebekah lodge with each subordinate lodge. The new lodge meets in the same hall as the other Rebekah lodge from which the new one was made. The members are joining the new lodge from the old one without changing their residence or the hall they meet in.

Question. — Does their Transfer of Membership under the above con-

Nov"1.7?l90S. 1 GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F, 281

dition entitle them to the benefit of the Transfer of Membership Law, and must their old lodge grant them a Transfer Certificate? Ansicer. — No.

Decision 28. Question. — Can a lady who is blind, the daughter of an Odd Fellow, be initiated into a Rebekah lodge? Anstoer. — No.

Decision 29. Statement. — A young lady makes application to a Rebekah lodge for membership, is accepted and notified to receive the degree on a certain date. Previous to the time set she is married to a man who is not an Odd Fellow.

Question. — Can the lodge by reason of having legally elected her to membership confer upon her the Rebekah Degree?

Answer. — No.

Decision 30. Statement. — Ten persons sign a petition for a charter to enable them to start a Rebekah lodge within the Jurisdiction of an- other lodge in the city. All of these petitioners are members of the lodge that they must get the consent of before the new lodge can ) .-' instituted. There being much opposition to the formation of the new lodge, the petitioners rally their friends and carry the proposition to grant consent to the petitioners by a majority of one, all ten of the parties presenting the petition voting therefor.

Question 1. — Can they legally vote upon the question, they being personally and intimately interested in the question? Ansicer. — Yes.

Question 2. — The question being on the granting a withdrawal card to Brother Smith, has Brother Smith a right to vote on the question? Ansicer. — No.

Question 3. — After the ballot is declared by the Noble Grand to be favorable to the granting the card to the brother, can he take any further part in the proceedings of the lodge?

Ansicer. — No.

Decision 31. Question. — Is there anything in the Constitution of The Sovereign Grand Lodge or of the code for the government of Rebekah lodges that would prevent a Grand Lodge from amending its Constitution in regard to admissions to the Odd Fellows' Home, so that members of Rebekah lodges, who may not be widows or orphans of Odd Fellows, can be admitted to and enjoy the privileges of the Home?

Ansicer. — No.

Question. — Is there anything in the Constitution of The Sovereign

282 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS 1 Nov.^17, 1908.

Grand Lodge or code for the g-overnment of Rebekah lodges that would prevent the Rebekah Assembly of a Grand Jurisdiction from levying a per capita tax upon Its membership annually for the support of the Odd Fellows' Home? Answer. — No.

Decision 32. Statement. — It appears that for some years the Grand Secretary, I. O. O. F., has been trying to force into the custodianship of the Assembly Secretary the effects of defunct Rebekah lodges. "They clutter up his store-room." The Assembly Secretary protests that she has no right to receive them, under the laws; "that she cannot grant Grand Lodge cards, and fails to see how the Grand Secretary can unless he has the records."

The Assembly President has been ordered by the newly installed Grand Master to ship to the Assembly Secretary's office the effects of all lodges whose charters she takes up; also, he notifies her that he proposes to send there all effects that are in the Grand Secretary's office.

Question.— In view of what is promised at the institution of a Re- bekah lodge; considei-ing Clause 1, Section 3, Article IV., Constitution of Rebekah lodges; also Section 1813, Busbee's Digest, who should be, or must be, the custodian of the effects of defunct Rebekah lodges?

Anstcer. — The Grand Secretary.

MISCELLANEOUS DECISIONS.

Decision 33. Statement. — Prominent members of our Order in this Jurisdiction are soliciting members for the "Ladies Militant" from the membership of our Order.

Qualifications for membership in said "Ladies Militant" is as fol- lows:

1. All those who have received the degree.

2. All chevaliers in good standing.

3. The mothers, sisters, wives, widows, daughters and nieces of chevaliers in good standing,

4. All ladies who have received the Decoration of Chivalry.

The "Ladies Militant" confer a degree, but I have no means of knowing whether this Order uses any of the signs or symbols of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, but I do know that they not only use the name "Militant" and make the qualifications as above set forth as pre-requisite for membership, but they also use the name of the Order, not only in soliciting membership generally, and also through the columns of the fraternal press; and in the cantons of Patriarchs Militant, the chevaliers are strongly urged to assist in the Organization of Fortresses of the "Ladies Militant" degree.

Nov" 17? 1908. !" GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 283

Question. — Is the creation or establishment of Fortresses of Ladies Militant a violation of the laws of the Order as referred to in the resolution on page 781,' Journal S. G. L., 1906?

Answer. — No, provided the emblems and name of the Order are not used.

Decision 34. Statement. — In 1906, at a Grand Lodge session, a Com- mittee of Revision was appointed and submitted a report to the session in regard to the amendments to the Constitution of the Grand Lodge, which were considered in the committee of the whole, and, after some changes, were ordered printed in the Journal and to lie over for one year, as our Constitution directs. Section 1, of Article X, of the Con- stitution of the Grand Lodge is as follows.

"This Constitution shall be altered or amended only by a proposition therefor in writing, signed by three or more representatives, submitted at an annual session, which proposition shall set forth the section to be altered or amended, as it would read if amended or altered. The proposition shall be entered at length on the Journal and shall not be acted upon until the next annual session, when it may be considered and perfected by amendments, and adopted by a vote of two-thirds of all the representatives voting; provided, however, it will be competent for the Grand Lodge, by a majority of all the representatives, at any session, to strike out, add to, modify, or amend any of these laws in conflict with, or to make them conform to the laws and decisions of The Sover- eign Grand Lodge."

Question. — Can the Constitution which was printed in the Revised Journal be taken up for consideration at the next session of the Grand Lodge and further amendments be added to it?

Answer. — It can be considered and amendments made which are germane to the subject matter.

Decision 35. Statement. — Brother "A" was elected Grand Repre- sentative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge for a term of two years, begin- ning with the session 1907.

He tendered his resignation to the Grand Master, who appointed Brother "B" to fill the vacancy, and he attended the session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge of 1907 at St. Paul.

Section 1, Article IV, Grand J^odge Constitution, reads as follows: "The elective officers of this Grand Lodge shall be the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Warden, Grand Secretary, Grand Treas- urer, and Grand Representative to The Sovereign Grand Lodge.

"Section 15, Article IV, of the same Constitution, reads as follows: "Any officer may resign his office during the session of the Grand

28-1 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS 1 Nov^Tt? WOS.

Lodge and all officers except the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Grand Warden may resign during its recess, addressing their letters of resignation to the Grand Master."

Section 6, Article V, of the same Constitution, reads as follows:

"Vacancies occurring in the elective offices during any communica- tion of the Grand Lodge shall be filled at such communication by a vote of the representatives and Past Grands present, a majority of the votes cast shall be necessary to a choice; vacancies occurring during recess in the office of the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer shall be filled by the Grand Master or acting Grand Master by appointing some member to fill such vacancy."

At the session of the Grand Lodge in May, 1907, the following reso- lution was adopted:

• "Whereas, As there is no provision in the Constitution of the Juris- diction of , L O. O. F., providing for the filling of vacancies

that may occur among the Grand Representatives when the Grand Lodge is not in session.

Therefore be it resolved, That if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Representative to The Sovereign Grand Lodge, it shall be filled as follows: First, if the vacancy occurs during the session of the Grand Lodge, or if the Grand Lodge will meet before the next session of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, the vacancy shall be filled by a majority vote of the Grand Lodge. Second, if the vacancy occurs at a time when there will be no meeting of the Grand Lodge before the next meeting of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, the Grand Master shall appoint."

Question. — Is Brother "B," who was appointed to fill the vacancy of Brother "A," the legal representative for the full term to which Brother "A" had been elected?

Answer. — Unless otherwise provided by local legislation the ap- pointment will hold for the unexpired term.

GROWTH OF THE ORDERr IN 1907.

1906 1907 Gain

Lodge members 1,362,310 1,442,758 80,448

Encampment members 193,846 208,591 14,745

Patriarchs Militant 20,001 21,524 1,523

Rebekah members (Sisters) 347,223 371,687 24,464

Total number of persons belonging to the Order, being members of the subordinate lodges and sisters of the Rebekah lodges, December 31, 1907, 1,814,445.

Total amount expended for relief and the education of the orphans for 1907, $5,112,993.73, being an increase over 1906 of $107,240.38.

Our net gain for the year 1907 would have been much larger had it not been for the sharp financial depression during the last half of the year. Fraternal, as well as business interests, were almost at a stand- still the last quarter of the year.

ENCAMPMENT BRANCH. From the reports and letters I have received and from visits made during the year, I am pleased to report that the Encampment branch of the Order is more prosperous than ever before. Much earnest and efficient work is being done by the Grand Patriarchs and other active members. The gain for 1908 will be greater than it was in 1907.

PATRIARCHS MILITANT. The Patriarchs Militant branch of our Order shows a net gain uf 1523 for 1907. The total number of chevaliers December 31, 1907, was 21,524. If at all times the beautiful Patriarchs Militant degree would be conferred in a dignified and impressive manner, it would aid greatly in hot only increasing the membership but also in making this branch of our Order specially popular with a large number of members. Alsi; see Exhibit "A" for report of M. A. Raney, General Commanding.

THE HOMES OF THE ORDER. The same active and thoughtful interest and work continues to be manifested- in the Homes of our Order as last year. Many Jurisdic- tions that have not as yet erected Homes for the helpless orphans and the helpless aged are now raising funds for that purpose. The Juris- dictions that now have Homes are putting forth an effort every year to improve these Homes wherever possible.

ADDITIONAL GRAND REPRESENTATIVES.

I am pleased that we have this session two additional Grand Repre- sentatives. One represents the new Grand Encampment of New Mex'co. and the other is an additional representative from the Grand Encamp- ment of Arkansas.

OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES.

Upon investigation I find in many Jurisdictions a lax enforcement of the law relative to the use of Official Certificates. This Certificate is the only legal receipt and the law relative to its use should be enforced. In many instances I find that Grand Secretaries and Grand Scribes are unable to determine' without considerable work as to what lodges, Rebekah lodges and encampments use these certificates, for the reason that cash payments are made with the orders for supplies sent to these officers. The enforcement of the law relative to the use of these certificates depends almost entirely upon Grand Secretaries, Grand Scribes and Secretaries of Rebekah Assemblies and they should adopt some system whereby at a moment's notice they could know what lodges, Rebekah lodges and encampments are now complying with the law. Some lodges give the certificates only "when requested" or "when dues are paid in advance," etc. It is the only receipt that should be used, not only because it is the only legal receipt but for the reason that it is for the best interests of the Order to have a unifor^n receipt given out to the members.

USE OF CERTIFICATES BY LODGES UNDER IMMEDIATE JURIS- DICTION OF THE SOVEREIGN GRAND LODGE.

The District Deputy Grand Sire of Japan, Dr. C. H. H. Hall, visUed the United States early in the year. He called at my office and talked over matters pertaining to the Order in Far East Lodge. He very much desired that the lodge be permitted to use the official certificates. I took the matter up with Grand Secretary Goodwin and ascertained that the law had been so construed that lodges under the immediate jurisdiction of The Sovereign Grand Lodge not on this continent were not supplied with the official certificates. Under date of February 25, 1908, I wrote the Grand Secretary as follows:

—10

290 JOURNAL OF, PROCEEDINGS { Nov!T7!'l9bs.

"Your favor of the 21st inst., relative to official certificates, received and in reply shall say that in my opinion you and your predecessor have not rightly construed the legislation referred to so far as it affects lodges under the immediate jurisdiction of The Sovereign Grand Lodge. 'Jurisdictions on this continent' simply means Grand Jurisdictions and it follows that the Grand Lodges under special charters — none of which are on this continent — are not required to use these official certificates. I am clearly of the opinion that the legislation referred to does not apply to lodges directly under the jurisdiction of The Sovereign Grand Lodge. All lodges working under the jurisdiction of The Sov- ereign Grand Lodge should not only be permitted to use these certificates but should be required to do so. You will kindly notify them to this effect."

The Grand Secretary promptly complied with these instructions.

OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRITORY.

The territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory have been admic- led to the Union as the State of Oklahoma. In this new State we havo two Grand Lodges and two Grand Encampments — the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Oklahoma and the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Indian Territory. These two Grand Lodges and Grand Encampments should -be consolidated at the earliest date practicable, as no more than one Grand Lodge or Grand Encampment should be maintained in any State.

THE BUSBEE FAMILY.

The following, written by Brother B. H. Woodell, Grand Secretary of North Carolina, is of such general interest that I wish it to appear in my report:

"Has this ever occurred before?

"Odd Fellowship has some odd experiences in its history, but I wish to state a matter of record, and ask if any other Jurisdiction has had anything similar to happen, and if any other fraternal Order at any time has had such an experience.

"On Friday, May 10, 1850, Perrin Busbee, a member of Manleo Lodge, No. 8, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina.

"On Wednesdaj% May 11, 1881, Chas. M. Busbee, son of Perrin Eu^-- bee, and a member of Manteo Lodge, No. 8, was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, and was afterward Grand Sire of the Order.

"On Thursday, May 16, 1907, Perrin Busbee, son of C. M. Busbee. and grandson of Perrin Busbee, also a member of Manteo Lodge, No. S,

Nov^irf 1908. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 291

•was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, making three generations to fill that honorable position within 57 years, and all three being members of the same lodge."

THE PRESS OF OUR ORDER.

During the past year I have had the continued cordial support of the press of our Order. The editors have not only gladly published the several articles I have written, but they have worked earnestly for the advancement of Odd Fellowship. All of these brothers and sisters have my most heartfelt thanks. The Odd Fellows' press is a power for good, and it is entitled to careful consideration and support.

PORTO RICO.

Information reached me of certain irregularities which seemed to exist in the work of the Order in San Juan of Porto Rico Lodge No. 1, of San Juan, Porto Rico. I was satisfied that if the brothers had erred it was not Intended to wrong the Order, but rather for the reason of not having been sufficiently instructed. After due consideration, I decided to send a Special Deputy Grand Sire to Porto Rico to render such assistance as might be possible and ascertain the true condition of the affairs of our Order on the Island. I appointed Grand Repre- sentative F. P. Trautmann Special Deputy Grand Sire, and submit his report for the consideration of this Grand Body:

"E. S. Conwaj', Esq., Grand Sire, Sovereign Grand Lodge of the I. O. O. F.

"My Dear Grand Sire and Brother: In compliance with your wishes, and in accord with the commission issued under date of October 11, 1907, appointing me Special Deputy Grand Sire of Porto Rico, with full power to investigate and report as to the condition of the Order on the Island of Porto Rico, I most respectfully render the following report of my actions:

"On January 4, 1908, I sailed from New York on the steamship 'Carcas' of the Red D Line, reaching San Juan on Thursday, the 9th. On my arrival I was met by Brother Paul N. Hagen, Past Grand of San Juan of Porto Rico Lodge No 1, and located at the Colonial Hotel, the only American hotel at San Juan, and later, upon my return from a trip across the Island, was located at the Union Club House.

"In the evening Brothers Joseph N. Tubbs, Noble Grand; Joseph D. McKeaney, Vice Grand, and Frank B. Moore, Secretary of the lodge, paid their compliments by calling. I soon learned from them that the lodge met weekly on Friday evenings, and accordingly arranged to visit the lodge officially the next evening, viz., Friday. On that even- ing a committee of three called at the hotel and escorted me to the

( Nov. 17, 1908.

lodg-e room, where, after presentation of my credentials and proper examination, I was admitted, most cordially welcomed, and received with due honors. We had a delightful meeting. There were present, including the officers, about 25 in number. The courtesies of the floor were extended, and I proceeded to address the brothers, presenting to them your fraternal greetings and compliments, and assured them of your deep interest in their welfare and prosperity. Among other things I made them fuly acquainted with the object of my visit, and received from one and all the assurance that I would be accorded the fullest assistance from them to obtain all necessary information relating to the condition and workings of the lodge, and the condition of the Order in general on the Island.

"I questioned them upon their manner of conducting the work of the lodge and as to their knowledge of the work of the Order, both ritual- istic and unwritten, and soon found that they needed instructions in all these things, of which they had had but very little since their organi- zation, because of the fact that those who were instrumental in the organization of the lodge, and upon whom the membership thereof relied for instructions, had left the Island soon thereafter — since which time they have had but little help along the lines indicated, except when, occasionally, a member of the Order from the States happened on the Island, learning of the existence of the lodge, would pay a visit and give a helping hand. Amidst these discouragements the member? of the lodge felt as though they had been abandoned by the Order at large, and can safely assure you, that the lodge deeply appreciates your kindly interest in their welfare in your sending a representative to them, thereby evidencing the fact that they were not entirely forgotten by the Order, but are still under the tender care of The Sovereign Grand Lodge.

"I found the membership of the lodge to be a well-meaning bo3y of brothers, who desire to do right and to live up to the teachings of the Order and are happy to be instructed therein.

"I remained upon the Island for four weeks, during which time I made four visits to the lodge. I exemplified and instructed the lodge In the unwritten work. I caused the Noble Grand to memorize the unwritten work, and committed to his care the official cipher or k>y thereof. I addressed them upon the general workings of the Order, upon the government of the Sovereign Body, and upon the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth.

"In the course of my stay on the Island I made a trip over, across and around the same, stopping over a day or more at the cities o.' Ponce, Mayaguez, Arecebo, Acquivilla and Rio Piedras, and other places. At these places I met many Americans, who have been on the Isl^ind for a number of years, and soon found in conversation with them, that some were members of the Order in the States, others had been, and

Nov"i?i908. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 293

Others had some relatives in the States who were connected with the Order at some time or other, and they were all pleased and interestei to know that the Order had been established on the Island, as well as a lodge at San Juan, receiving assurances from many that they would consider the subject with a view of affiliating with the Order.

"The membership of San Juan Lodge was 70, its composition wis all Americans, except 15, whose names and pedigree, as best I could ascertain, are contained in the list hereto annexed, from which you will observe that several were born on the Island whose parents were either French or Spanish, and several native born, whose parents were also native born — it not being possible to trace farther back of the parents. Most of them I personally met and conversed with; some spoke the English language well and fluently, while others understo.id the English language fairly well, but were not able to speak it quite so well or fluently.

"I ascertain that all candidates proposed are submitted to a medical test and examination by Dr. Lippert of San Juan, a member of the Order, who, upon inquiry, I learned was a competent physician and qualified to say whether there was any degree of either negro or Indian blood in the applicants, and that after such test and examination of candidates, he had certified in the negative.

"The Island was originally inhabited by Indians, a copper-colored race, and by the invasion of the Spanish in the 14th century, who mixed with the Indians and afterwards in the 15th century, the rapid extinction of the Indian caused the Spanish to import from Africa the negro slave, resulting in a mixture of the blood of the three races, and when later the Frenchmen, and still later, the Americans came to the Island, there became a still further admixture.

"The Porto Rican of today is classified on the Island as the Porto Rican white, being a person born on the Island of either Spanish, French or American parentage.

"Regarding the question of San Juan receiving into membership those who are under the age of 21 years, I found that at its organiza- tion under the belief that the lodge came within the exception of Article XVI, Section 2, of the Constitution of The Sovereign Grand Lodge accordingly prepared its Constitution and by-laws on the 18- years basis, which laws were in due course forwarded to and submitted to the then Grand Sire for approval and approved (Journal S. G. L.., 1906, page 452), and subsequently further approved by the Committee on Constitutions of The Sovereign Grand Lodge (see Journal S. G. L., 1906, page 735), and after such approval the lodge did admit one person of the age of 19 years into membership.

"The 18-years-old provision was eliminated by proper amendment from the lodge Constitution under my direction and supervision, and the minimum age of 21 years fixed as the proper age for all applicants.

294 JOURNAL OP PROCEEDINGS \ NOA^^rf,^1908.

I am satisfied that the lodge acted in good faith in incorporating the 18-years clause in its by-laws, and the admission of the one candidate hereinbefore mentioned under the age of 21 years was without intent vO violate the laws of the Order.

"I annex hereto a copy of the petition or application for membership in use heretofore, with the 18-years clause marked repealed and void, which was done at a regular meeting of the lodge under my direction.

"In compliance with the dispensation granted by you I conferred the Past Official Degrees upon TBrothers Paul N. Hagen, Past Grand, and Edward Fenlon, Past Grand, on January 14, 1908, at the lodge room in San Juan, and herewith submit the credentials presented to me entitling them to the degree.

"On February 4, 1908, under dispensation by j^ou, the lodge held its first annual ball and reception in the Elks Temple. It was a decidedly successful affair. There were present in all about 300, mostly Ameri- cans, with wives and other members of their families; among those present were quite a representation of government officials, whose presence added strength and encouragement to the affair. During the •ivening I addressed the gathering upon Odd Fellowship. On this occasion I was the recipient of a handsome scarf-pin from the members of the lodge, which I have worn with much pride and will always cherish.

"Before leaving I learned that last year there had been inaugurated at Sar Juan, by the government, a military and civic parade, to be held annually on the 4th of July, to which Porto Rico lodge had been invited and would undoubtedly be again invited this year. I ascertained that '.he lodge was extremely anxious to have an Odd Fellow banner this year to be used in the parade. Upon returning home I mentiqned the matter to a number of members of the lodges in the city of New York, and we finally concluded that it might not be improper for the lodges in thp Greater City of New York to present Porto Rico Lodge with a handsome banner. Accordingly with the permission of the Grand Master of the Jurisdiction of New York, I issued a circular letter to the lodges in New York City and received sufficient moneys to obtain a handsome 36 by 54 silk banner executed in gold bullion work and inscribed on one side "San Juan of Porto Rico Lodge, No. 1, I. O. O. F.," with a beautiful painting of Jonathan and David, and on the reverse side, "Presented by the Odd Fellows' Lodges in the Greater City of New York, July 4, 1908."

"The banner was shipped and received by the lodge in due time to be used in the parade, and due acknowledgment thereof, with many profuse thanks and expressions of gratitude, has been received from the lodge.

"On the morning of January 18, 1908, at San Juan, Brother John M. Lockwood, a member of Porto Rico Lodge, formerly of the State of Missouri, died in the Military hospital.

Pf'>t(ie Insula/', "band, we proceeded through the principal streets of SaA jU'ari to Old San Juan cemetery, where in the presence of a large multitude of people the remains were interred, with ceremonies appropriate to Odd Fellowship, the Rev. J. F. McAnally, pastor of the Methodist church in San Juan, a member of Grove City Lodge, Illinois, officiating as Chaplain, and I as Noble Grand. The procession and burial with Odd Fellowship rites was something entirely new and novel on the Island, being, as I was ci-editably informed, the first of its kind ever had on the Island. Indeed it was the subject of considerable favorable comment and criticism for several days thereafter.

"With reference to the future prospects and present indications of the stability and future growth of the Order in the Island, I am of the opinion that it is decidedly favorable. There are many Americans on the Island who have been, there for eight and nine years and who have acquired property and business interests therein, and with their fam- ilies will remain permanent residents. Much American capital has come into the Island since its possession by the United States Government. Prior to the invasion there were but very few schools and decidedly poor opportunities and privileges for education. There are now more than 400 public schools established, and several high or normal schools, where the English language is taught.

"From inquiries made I find that each additional year is bringing to the Island a larger number of Americans from the States, many of whom remain to become permanent residents. All of which satisfies me that the Order as now there established should and will remain and continue, with the admonition, rowever, that great care and careful scrutiny should be had and exercised over applicants for admission, so that none not properly qualified or eligible be admitted into member- ship, looking rather to the quality than to the quantities. I am firmly of the opinion that Porto Rico Lodge, if possibly it may not have been heretofore extremely cautious and careful in the reception of the native Porto Rican contained in the list annexed, will in the future absolutely refrain from taking any possible risk in that respect.

"I desire to thank you for the honor conferred upon me by the ap- pointment as your Special Representative, and trust that I may have

discharged the obligations imposed upon me by your commission to your satisfaction. It is my purpose to keep in touch in the future witl< the lodge, and to be of such assistance to it and the members as my humble ability may furnish, should it be desired.

"Herewith pisa's'e' nrd all papers which you submitted to my ca^-e and consiJeraUon at tne tima of my appointment. "I an^.^a^ernally yours,

FRANKLIN P. TRAUTMANN, Special Deputy Grand Sire to Porto Rico "

IN CONCLUSION.

I again wish to assure you of my appreciation of having been elected to fill the honorable position of Grand Sire of this Sovereign Grand Lodge. It is not only a position of great honor but one that carries with it great opportunity to be of service in the advancement of the work of this great Fraternity. My work as Grand Sire has been most delightful and the results obtained have been satisfactory. The pleasure of the work and the satisfactory results obtained have been due to riie assistance of the Grand OfHcers of all the Jurisdictions and to the District Deputy Grand Sires. To all these brothers and to each of you, my brothers, and especially to our efficient Grand Secretary, Brother Goodwin, and to all others who have in any way assisted in the ad- vancement of Odd Fellowship, I extend my heartfelt thanks.

I have every confidence in the future of Odd Fellowship and I am satisfied that our eighty-fourth annual communication in this historic convention city will be a most delightful one.

Cordially and fraternally yours,

E. S. CONWAY,

Grand Sl'-e.

ODD FELLOWSHIP IN THE MOTHER JURISDICTION.

"Maryland is the mother of this wonder of the century. It was from Baltimore that the first magnetic message flashed to Washington and the world; it was there that the last surviving signer of our Declara- tion of Independence laid the corner-stone of the first grand line of railroads in America; it was therefore meet that Baltimore should have the crowning honor of ushering in a greater than railroads and tele- graphs."— Judge Henry F. Garey, Past Grand Sire, deceased, of Mary- land.

Both because of the general interest which attaches to the historj% condition and work of the Order in Maryland, and the noble efforts and activity of the Grand Officers and membership generally which are meeting with such gratifying response and success, it is deemed proper to call attention to the last annual reports of the Grand Bodies of this Jurisdiction, as also to the more recent letters from Bro. Wm. A. Jones, Grand Secretary, appearing under the head of "Correspondence," as showing the steady, healthy and general forward movement now going on here. Well and wisely directed, this movement meets with such favor as to indicate that the present year will witness the largest addition to the membership ever made in any year, and gives assurance that in the very near future Maryland will have as many members in proportion to eligible population as any other State. Good, new lodges are being instituted and existing lodges receiving desirable accessions; probably 2000 new members will be added this year. Not only does activity pervade the membership, but, what is equally important, har- mony prevails, and the principles and purposes of the Order are being carried out.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

While it would be a pleasure, space does not permit separate men- tion of the many to whom acknowledgment would gladly be given for courtesy received and co-operation extended. Those with whom I have been in most constant relations in official work are Bros. E. S. Conway, Grand Sire; M. Richards Muckle, Grand Treasurer; General M. A. Raney, Commanding Patriarchs Militant. Wm. H. Cox, Chairman Sub- Committee on Finance; Amos H. Hall, Chairman Committee on Print- ing Supplies, and the members of these committees, and to each and all named or referred to, grateful appreciation is expressed for kindness and co-operation.

THE 190S MEETING IN DENVER. Once before, in 1887 — twenty- one years ago — The Sovereign Grand Lodge met in Denver, the magnificent metropolis of the splendid Cen- tennial State of Colorado. Again the session is held here, and while the city and State have undergone wondrous development and upbuilding

348 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS \ Nov^Yt^^MS.

since 1887, the same may truly be said of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows represented by this supreme legislative and judicial body. When here in 1887 the total membership of subordinate lodges was only 530,300, while now it is 1,442,758, or nearly thrice as many. Then the sisters of the Rebekah branch only numbered 33,958, and now they are 371,687. At that time the total membership of the Order was 564,258, and now it is 1,814,445. The total relief expended in 1886 was $2,227,- 324.50, and in 1907 it was $5,112,993.75. The total receipts of subordinate bodies of the Order in 18S6 was $5,659,772.37, and in 1907 it was $15,844,571.76.

It is, therefore, appropriate that the present session should be held in a city and State whose progress has been in keeping with the wondrous strides in advancement made by Odd Fellowship.

From the greeting extended at the former session, assurance is had that on the present occasion everything will be done to gladden the hearts of all who attend and make this a memorable and successful session, and certainly there will be grateful appreciation from all for the evidences of fraternal regard from the brothers and sisters of Colorado and for the respectful consideration shown by the good people of this city and State.

CONCLUSION.

The foregoing figures as to membership, relief work and receipts profoundly impress the extent and achievements of the Order and its benevolent expenditures.

Never before was Odd Fellowship so strong or so well prepared for

carrying on its great and good work as now. As it approaches very

near the two million membership mark, grateful hearts rejoice in the

ft marvelous prosperity and vast fraternal and benevolent influence and

results which have been vouchsafed to it. Surely the blessings of heaven have attended it in its mission to humanity and in its onward course.

Considering our Order and its mission, appropriate expression is found in the following extract from an address by Wm. Ellison, Past Grand Sire, deceased, of Massachusetts: "In the great procession of the ages, mankind found the necessity of associated effort for mutual protection and support. This gave life to philanthropic and charitable institutions, civil governments. States and nations. This spirit of phil- anthropy and brotherly love has been breathed into the nostrils of the present age, and with us to-day it is called Odd Fellowship. We have seen it go forth in its infancy and weakness to combat the sins and wrongs that afflict society, and it has returned to us covered with tro- phies that have almost encircled the earth. Its gentle influences have touched the human soul and breathed upon the discordant strings of the human heart, and it has awakened it to a diviner melody. You may search the records of the world, and where can you find an institution

Nov^Tt^^MX. i GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 349

that has done more for the amelioration of man's condition and the relief of human suffering than this fraternity of Odd Fellows? Let it spread abroad then, and its principles, benefits and blessings be every- where felt, and the peace, comfort and happiness of the whole world be enhanced by its power."

Since this deserved and beautiful tribute was given, constant prog- ress has been made by the Order in our own and other lands, and the prayer that its influence should become world-wide is being answered in the record made with every passing year.

Fraternally submitted,

JOHN B. GOODWIN,

Grand Secretary.

In the appointment of Committees the Representatives from the Grand Encampment and Grand Lodge of Illinois were assigned as follows:

Turner to the Committee on Appeals. Heinl to the Committee on Legislation, Humphrey to the Committee on the State of the Order, Merrills to the Committee on Rebekah Degree. A number of amendments to the Constitution of the Sovereign Grand Lodge proposed at the Session of 1907 were taken up and dis- posed of as follows:

Section 1 of Article XVII was amended so as to read as follows: "Section 1, The Officers and Grand Representatives (except such offi- cers as receive stated salaries) shall receive a compensation for their services, to he fixed by law, and paid out of the treasury of The Sov- ereign Grand Lodge; provided, that this Grand Lodge may allow other and different compensation to any Grand Representative coming from a Jurisdiction beyond the limits of the North American Continent than its by-laws allow Grand Representatives from Jurisdictions within such Continent."

Ayes — 205. Noes — None.

Section 6 of Article IX of the Constitution was amended to read as follows: "Section 6. Each Independent Grand Lodge which shall have accepted and which shall be working under the charter adopted in the year 1900 for all such Independent Grand Lodges, and each Inde- pendent Grand Lodge chartered by The Sovereign Grand Lodge after the year 1900, may elect a Grand Representative to . this Sovereign Grand Lodge, whose qualifications, terms of office, privileges, and duties shall be the same as other Grand Representatives; provided, that The Sovereign Grand Lodge may by law fix such compensation as it may deem proper to be paid to any such Grand Representative."

Ayes — 204. Noes — None.

350 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { Nm^ nf^gO-S.

The following proposed amendment to Section 5 of Article XVI was lost, it not having received a constitutional vote in its favor: "Section 5. No saloon-keeper, bartender, or other person engaged in the selling of intoxicating liquors of any kind, to any extent or m any way, except for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes, and no professional gambler shall be eligible to membership in this Oi'der."

The proposition to amend the Constitution so as to make the "General Commanding" one of the officers of The Sovereign Grand Lodge was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 95 to 73.

The proposition to change the name of The Sovereign Grand Lodge and to change the titles of certain of its officers was lost by a vote of 70 ayes to 132 noes.

The proposition to disqualify all persons engaged in selling intoxi- cating liquors of any kind, or to any extent, or in any way except for medicinal purposes, was indefinitely postponed.

The proposition to amend the Constitution so as to admit to mem- bership in Subordinate Lodges young men who are 18 years of age and over was also lost.

The next Session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge will be held at the City of Seattle. Invitations were extended from the City of Seattle, the City of Chicago, and also from the City of Richmond, Virginia. It was evident that the majority was in favor of Seattle, and the other two contestants were withdrawn, making the selection of Seattle unanimous.

The City of Birmingham, Alabama, has extended an invitation for the session of 1910, and says it expects to be on hand next year to press this invitation to a successful issue. The City of Chicago might have some opportunity of securing the session if it appeared to The Sovereign Grand Lodge that the Odd Fellows of Illinois in general, and the Odd Fellows in Chicago in particular, were desirous of having the session in that city.

The election of officers resulted in the following: Grand Sire — John L. Nolen, of Tennessee. Deputy Grand Sire — W. L. Kuykendall, of Wyoming. Grand Secretary — John B. Goodwin, of Georgia. Grand Treasurer — M. Richards Muckle, of Pennsylvania.

There were three appeal cases which possessed more than passing interest.

The first was an appeal from the Grand Lodge of New York, which presented the question as to whether or not a lodge might make use of its contingent funds to pay for cigars on an occasion where mem- bers only are present and the object of the meeting being to arouse interest in the Order. This was decided in the negative. Subsequently

NOT^l^T^wbsJ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 351

the following resolution was presented by Representative Cook, of Massachusetts: "Resolved that it is permissible for Subordinate Lodges and Encampments to expend money from their contingent fund to pay for suppers and cigars; for the public celebration of the Anniversary of the Order; for flowers, music, carriages and railroad fares at the funeral of a member." Upon motion this resolution was tabled by an emphatic vote, which leaves the decision in the appeal case the law of the Order.

Another case was an appeal from the Grand Lodge of California. It seems that under the local law of California a lodge trial is con- ducted by what is known as a trial committee. It was held that under such a local law the Trial Committee of a Lodge is not a Court or Tribunal invested with powers to render a final judgment, but that its decision may be reviewed by the lodge, even though it presents a report finding the accused not guilty. In other words, it was held that while a lodge may raise a committee to assist it in trying a case, the report of such committee is not conclusive upon the lodge, but advisory only.

Perhaps the most important case was an appeal from the Grand Lodge of Ohio. In this case a brother under charges had been ac- quitted by his lodge. The prosecuting witness took an appeal to the Grand Lodge. Under the local law of Ohio such an appeal is not authorized. The effect of the decision of the Sovereign Grand Lodge is that the General Law of the Order does not regulate the matter of appeals any further than to allow the accused an appeal. In other respects the right to appeal is controlled entirely by local legislation.

In the matter of considering the decisions of the Grand Sire, de- cisions 10, 24, 26, 3.J, the first answer to 11, and the second answer to 30 were reversed. The first question of decision No. 22 was modifi^ed to read, "The Committee on character have the right to take the pe- tition while making their investigation and report." The second question of decision No. 22 was amended to read as follows: "No, the evidence (in lodge trials) need not be recorded, but the trial proceed- ings and action of the lodge should appear on the records." Decision No. 2 was modified by adding the following words, "But it is under- stood that this decision is based on the law as in effect prior to Jan- uary 1st, 1908." The answer to the first question of decision No. 1 was modified so as to read, "His standing in the new lodge is con- trolled by its laws." The answer in decision No. 3 was modified to read: "No. But he may become a member of the new lodge by sign- ing its Constitution after its receipt of the Transfer Certificate." The answer in decision No. 6 was amended to read: "Yes, unless other- wise provided by local legislation." All other decisions were affirmed.

A new memorial service for Rebekah Lodges was adopted, which is as follows:

Invocation, Chaplain.

O Lord, our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the preserva- tion of our lives, and that we are permitted to meet again on this our Memorial Day. We thank Thee for all the blessings that we receive and enjoy, and pray Thee to impress us with the solemnity of this occasion.

Thou hast in Thine infinite wisdom seen fit to sever the links of fraternity. The memory of our departed sisters and brothers is pre- cious to us. May we emulate their virtues and bury all their im- perfections. Grant, O Lord, Thy mercies to us as an Order, and as we are ever reminded of the uncertainty of life, we pray Thee for the forgiveness of our sins.

We pray Thee to bless whatever good we may accomplish in the exetcises of the hour, and may the lessons we receive - today be of lasting good to us all, and may we glorify Thee in all our ways. Direct us in the further service of this hour, and in all our services, in the way that shall be for the greatest good for our beloved Order, and for the advancement of Thy cause, until we are permitted to meet in the Grand Assemblj'^ above. Amen.

NOBLE GRAND.

In accordance with the tenets of our Order, we are assembled at this time to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of those who in former days have commingled with us in the discharge of our fraternal obligations.

We no more feel the warm pressure of their hands or the geniality of their loving presence. They are gone, but their lives were not in vain, as they left behind an example fragrant with good deeds and kindly offices to their fellowmen. Be it ours to emulate their virtues, and to strive to cultivate those graces which adorned and dignified their character.

We meet today in sorrow and in grief, yet with a soul buoyant with pride in the fact that those to whom we pay honor have left an exam- ple that binds our Order closer in the ties of Brotherhood.

One can form at best a poor estimate of an individual's character by mere casual meetings. Effusive greetings, hearty hand shakes, flattering words, are sometimes pleasing, but often deceptive and mis- leading. A polished exterior does not nor ever will determine the true worth of a man.

We assemble today to pay tribute to their virtues and draw the mantle of charity over their imperfections. They who had but one talent and returned it tenfold heard the blessed injunction: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," and are today enjoying the reward of a well-spent life.

VICE GRAND.

Silent as the dawn, mysterious as the night, yet certain as truth, the destroyer comes. We know that in the course of a few short days we who today are extolling the virtues of our departed brethren and sisters will be stricken by the hand of death; although now we feel the joyous, pulsing thrill of exuberant life, we must submit to His will and be carried to the silent city of the dead.

Whether the destroyer will come from the North, or the South, the East or the West, no man can tell. But after all what * * * it that we weep? Those of our members who have answered the silent call; whose lives have been blotted out; who live only in memory, have left a heritage rich in good deeds and adorned by acts of fraternal af- fection. It behooves us, therefore, to

"So live that when thy summon conies to join

The innumerable caravan which moves

To that mysterious realm where each shall take

His chamber in the silent halls of death,

Thou go not like the quarry- slave, at night.

By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one that wraps the drapery of- his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

PAST NOBLE GRAND.

The sympathizing heart of the members of our Order delights to pay tribute to the memory of those who have ennobled their lives and raised the standard of our Order to a high pinnacle, and thus attracted the attention of the whole world to the fraternal deeds of the Rebekah Sisterhood.

Yet the dead are beyond our help, beyond the power of human tears, and it is, therefore, fitting that we extend the helping hand to the living in the maternal spirit that would receive encomiums from those to whom we pay honor today. Let us bring sunshine and gladness to the hearts immured in gloom; wipe away the tears of the stricken widow and extend protection and succor to the orphan.

Such are among the first principles of Odd Fellowship. While we do not forget our dead, our paramount duty is to the living. A draught of cool water and a slice of bread given to the hungered orphan is pregnant with far greater import than all the flowers that can be heaped upon the graves of those who are with us only in memory.

When the veil of eternity shall be rent asunder and torn away, revealing the past as well as the future, the strifes and trials, the jeal- ousies and rivalries which have held sway in the heart during life are laid aside and forgotten, and we are made to feel that the brightest spot on our record is reached when the finger of the angel, emblazoned in a halo of light and glory, points to the item where is recorded the fact that we heed the injunction of the Heavenly Grand Master when He said: '"As ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, even so have ye done it unto me."

"Their tolls are past, their work is done,

And they are fully blest; They fought the fight, the vict'ry won, And entered into rest."

NOBLE GRAND. Closing Charge.

'Tis hard to break the tender cord

Of love that binds the heart; 'Tis harder still to speak the word,

Must we forever part? Dear sister, we have placed thee in

The peaceful grave's embrace, But thy memory will be cherished

Till we see in Heaven thy face.

BENEDICTION. CHAPLAIN.

Our Fathex- in Heaven, we thank Thee for the present meeting, and for whatever good we have accomplished at this hour. Pardon, we entreat, anything that may have been displeasing to Thee in thought, word or deed. Deepen every conviction of duty, and strengthen every resolution of amendment. Accompany us to our several homes and keep us and our loved ones ever under the shadow of Thy wing. Guide us by Thy counsel while we live, and in death save us, we be- seech Thee. Amen.

A new Past President's jewel was adopted, the specifications for which are as follows:

The jewel to be made of 14-carat gold and to consist of a four armed cross, of special design, l^g inches extreme length from right to left, resting on a wreath of tinted gold % of an inch wide and 15-16 of an inch outer diameter, each arm to be tipped by three small ball points, the outer edges having a raised rim 1-16 of an inch wide. There shall be engraved on the arms of the cross the following symbols, namely: On top arm, the moon and seven stars; on the right-hand arm, the dove; on the left-hand arm, the lily; on the lower arm, Re- bekah at the well; said symbols to be of Roman gold color; the center to contain a white diamond of not more than % carat; the jewel is to be suspended from a bar, the design of which shall be three links; the extreme length of bar shall be 1% inches; the connection between the jewel and bar shall be made by an interlacing of the letters P. P., in Roman type, through the center and outer links. The extreme length of pin and jewel shall be 1% inches; the design of engraving at- tached to be followed as closely as possible.

It was provided that the above jewel be adopted in lieu of the jewel described in clause 2,677, section 53, Busbee's Digest. It was also provided that the Grand Secretary be Instructed to have imprints made according to the above specifications and of the attached engrav- ing and forward them to each Assembly President.

Propositions to establish a National Rebekah Assembly, to provide a sign and password for the use of District Rebekah meetings, and to direct Rebekah Assemblies to report to the Sovereign Grand Lodge were acted upon adversely. '

A resolution was adopted authorizing the incoming Grand Sire to appoint a committee to revise the Constitution of The Sovereign Grand Dodge. Brother W. R. Humphrey was designated as one of the members of 'this Committee,

A resolution was adopted providing that on and after January 1st, 1909, the Veteran's jewel shall be supplied by The Sovereign Grand Lodge, in one quality only, and that quality to be in 8 or 10 carat gold as may be deemed expedient by the Committee on Printing and

856 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS \ Novl^n.^^gOS.

Supplies. The form and style of the present jewel to be i-etained, but the size to be reduced to approximately one and one-quarter inches in diameter.

A matter of vast interest to the Order is contained in Report No. 113, which, by action of The Sovereign Grand Lodge, was referred to the various Grand Bodies for their consideration. This report is in words and figures as follows:

"To the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd

Fellows.

"Your Committee on Printing Supplies, to whom was referred the resolution appearing on page 291 of Journal of 1907, which reads as follows:

"Resolved, That the Committee on Printing Supplies be, and are hereby, directed to inquire into the advisability and practicability of having all regalia and paraphernalia manufactured and sold under the authority and control of the Sovereign Grand Lodge as supplies, and report at the next session. That should the committee be of the opinion that such action should be taken, then it shall submit as a part of its report a plan for fuliy carrying out the objects of this resolution,"

"The subject matter of the foregoing resolution being one of great importance, your committee has had the matter under careful dis- cussion at both of their meetings held during the recess of the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge. The matter was referred to a sub-committee at our July meeting, and the members of that committee have continued the consideration of the subject, and having reported to the full com- mittee, we now submit our conclusions, as follows:

"That while it would not be desirable for the Sovereign Grand Lodge to enter into the manufacturing business by the equipment of a factory for the purpose of manufacturing regalia and paraphernalia, it is believed by your committee to be both advisable and practicable to have all regalia and paraphernalia authorized to be used by the several branches of our Order, including all Lodge supplies, manu- factured under competitive bids by responsible regalia and parapher- nalia manufactvu-ers of the United States and Canada, and sold by The Sovereign Grand Lodge as supplies by and through the Grand Secretaries, Grand Scribes,* Department Commanders and Rebekah Assemblies, and subordinate bodies under the jurisdiction of The Sovereign Grand Lodge. That we have made such inquiries as enable us to report that there are a number of established manufacturing houses who are in a position to do this work, and we have ascertained that by having such supplies sold by and through The Sovereign Grand Lodge we can materially reduce the cost to our Subordinate Bodies and at the same time provide for a reasonable profit to The Sovereign Grand Lodge and to the Grand Jurisdictions who may desire to have

N^v'^nJmS. ) GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.P. 357

such supplies sold through their Grand Bodies. That it is not practica- ble in this report to set out in detail a comprehensive plan for carrying out this proposition, but we believe that if The Sovereign Grand Lodge will authorize its Committee on Printing Supplies to proceed to take all necessary steps to provide for the making of contracts with re- sponsible manufacturers under proper safeguards, such as trust com- pany bonds to insure the faithful performance of such contracts, that said committee will be able to arrange all of the details so that in a comparatively short time, say by July 1st, 1909, this plan can become effective.

"By having all regalia and paraphernalia sold under the superin- tendence of the Sovereign Grand Lodge we not only can save our sub- ordinate bodies a large amount of money, but we can assure to them more uniform grades and qualities of material, and more nearly in keeping with the regulations prescribed by the laws of the Order.

"We therefore submit the following resolutions:

"Resolved, That it is both advisable and practicable that all regalia and paraphernalia and other supplies used by our Order, or any of its Subordinate branches, should be manufactured and sold under the authority and control of the Sovereign Grand Lodge as supplies, but that it is not desirable at this time that the Sovereign Grand Lodge should engage in the actual manufacture of such supplies, but that it should, through its Committee on Printing Supplies, have prepared for use and distribution a catalogue of all such regalia and paraphernalia and other supplies, and, after securing bids from responsible manu- facturers, enter into contracts with one or more such manufacturers for a series of years, not less than three; such contract or contracts being so drawn as to protect the Sovereign Grand Lodge against any liability for the payment of the amounts due by Subordinate Bodies upon orders for regalia and paraphernalia and other supplies received by such manufacturers through the ofHce of the Grand Secretary of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.

"Resolved, That the Committee on Printing Supplies be and is hereby authorized and directed to proceed with all reasonable dispatch to carry out the foregoing resolution, in order that said plan may be- come effective at as early a day as practicable, and if possible not later than July 1, 1909. That when said Committee shall have awarded con- tracts for the manufacture of regalia and paraphernalia and other sup- plies contemplated by these resolutions, the Grand Secretary shall at once notify all Grand Bodies that thereafter all such supplies must be purchased through the office of the Grand Secretary, as other supplies now are, and shall have printed for distribution the catalogue hereby authorized to be prepared under the direction of said Committee on Printing Supplies, and issued under the imprint of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. That the Grand Secretary is hereby authorized to provide

358 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ] Nov! rr^'isbs.

for and employ such additional clerical assistance in his office, in Balti- more, as may be deemed necessary to carry out the objects and pur- poses of these resolutions, but the compensation of any person so em- ployed shall be fixed by the Finance Committee of this Body, or its sub-committee, if said plan shall be put into operation before the 1909 communication of this Sovereign Grand Lodge.

"Resolved, That the Committee on Printing Supplies be and it is herebj' authorized and directed to prepare a catalogue showing the regalia, paraphernalia and other supplies to be used by the Subordinate Bodies of this Order, and to fix the grades and qualities of such sup- plies as may be deemed necessary to meet the demands of our member- ship, according to the rules and regulations provided now for such re- galia and paraphernalia. That in carrying out these resolutions said Committee be and it is hereby authorized to employ such assistance as may be found necessary and proper."

The following resolution was adopted, "That in the event of the legal consolidation of two or more Subordinate Lodges, Encampments, or Rebekah Lodges, each presiding officer of such bodies shall thereby attain the rank and title to which he or she would have been entitled if service had been rendered to the end of the term."

The following resolution was adopted, "That Grand Lodges and Grand Encampments may return surrendered charters that have re- mained unclaimed for not less than five years upon the petition of the requisite number of qualified brothers, although only one of the petition- ers may have been a member of said defunct Lodge or Encampment. Provided, however, that, if the requisite number of original members be not found among the petitioners, it must appear that due negligence and effort have been made in good faith to procure the required number, or no surrendered funds, effects, and property of the defunct Lodge or Encampment shall be returned with the charter; and in all cases the charter fee shall be required as in case of issuing a new charter, unless provided otherwise by local law. That section 1817 of Busbee's Digest and all decisions and legislation inconsistent herewith be and the same are hereby repealed."

The following resolution concerning Official Certificates was adopted: "To the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd

Fellows:

"Your Committee on Printing and Supplies to whom was referred Resolution No. 11 have considered the same and recommend the fol- lowing: That the price of Official Certificates be reduced to 43 cents per book of 100 certificates to Grand Bodies, and that such certificates be printed in lots of 500 instead of 2,000, as now provided by law, and that the certificate be printed on the best grade of paper that is practicable.

Nov^Tt! Wbs. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 859

"It is further recommended that the executive officers of each Grand Jurisdiction be, and they are hereby, directed to enforce tlie law in their respective Jurisdictions, requiring the use of Official Certifi- cates in all Subordinate and Rebekah Lodges and Encampments as the only receipt for dues and other charges; and it further is recom- nemded, That upon proof of complaint to a Grand Body, by any mem- ber of this Order, that a Subordinate or Rebekah Lodge or Encamp- ment under the jurisdiction of such Grand Body has issued a receipt for dues or other charges upon any other form than the Official Certificate issued and sold by The Sovereign Grand Lodge, aucIi Grand Body shall impose a penalty upon such offending Subordinate or Re- bekah Lodge or Encampment, which may extend even to forfeiture of charter.

"That the provisions of the preceding resolutions become effective January 1, 1909; that the Grand Jurisdictions be notified accordingly, and that the immediately preceding resolution be printed in each book of Official Certificates sold by The Sovereign Grand Lodge, after the above named date."

An effort was made by Past Grand Sire Underwood to introduce for consideration at the next session, what he called a proposition for the establishing of a voluntary mortuary benefit, but it was, in effect, A life insurance scheme. Upon consideration, it met Tvith such an un- favorable reception that the whole matter was stricken from the record.

The estimated receipts for the present fiscal year are $131,358.00, and the appropriatidn bill aggregates $107,062.45.

Just immediately preceding the adjournment the following resolu- tions were adopted by a rising vote:

"Resolved, That the grateful thanks of The Sovereign Grand Lodge are expressed to Past Grand Sire E. S. Conway for the able, faithful and diligent manner in which he has discharged the duties of Grand Sire.

"The Independent Order of Odd Fellows will ever hold in grateful remembrance his wise and impartial administration, and the great work accomplished during his term of office. May he live for many years to guide us by his counsel and gratify us with his presence."

There was quite a large representation of the Illinois brothers and sisters. Among those in attendance we noted the following: Grand Sire E. S. Conway and wife and niece. Miss Mabel E. Rogers; Grand Patriarch F. D. P. Snelling and wife; Grand Secretary John H. Sikes and wife; Grand High Priest Howard Makutchan and wife; Grand Senior Warden D. C. Stocking and wife; Gi-and Treasurer Encamp- ment, E. H. Kinney; Brother Alexander Weldon and Sister President Weldon, his wife, and son; P. G. R. Theodore Finn; P. G. R. J. A. Lucas; Brother Carl Lager and wife and Brother C. S. Nordholm of Gen- eseo; Brother John M. Miner of Guthrie; Dr. William Keller of Prince-

ton; Brother John B. Sawyer of Gibson City; Brother Uriah Hill of Lincoln; Brother A. J. Wright and Sister Mary Ven Harr of Cham- paign; Brother Oscar Peterson of Moline; Mrs. Pred B. Merrills of Belleville; Brother S. A. Windgate of Blue Island; Mrs. W. R. Humph- rey, Sisters Nellie L. Harris, OUie Wood, Hattie Reed, Ruth Chamber- lain, Caroline Malaby, Miss Boardman, Brother George Rowe and wife, Brother A. T. Roner and wife, Mrs. Kate Haggard, Alfred Anderson, Sister F. B. Kelly and D. S. Rich, all of Chicago.

It would scarcely be proper to close this report without making some mention of the most excellent manner in which the people and the brethren and sisters of Denver and Colorado extended their hos- pitality. From the time the first expectant visitor or Representative landed in the city until the last weary one had departed on his home- ward journey nothing was omitted which would tend to make the stay of both Representatives and visitors pleasant and comfortable. Many means of entertainment were provided, especially for the ladies. And could the Committees on Entertainment have heard all the favorable comments expressed by the ladies they would become very vain indeed. But notwithstanding the generous hospitality, the sublime natural scenery, the salubrious climate and the beautiful city, all of which enchantments might have induced others to wander from the paths of duty, it can be said to the credit of the Representatives that there was practically a full attendance at every session of the Grand Body.

In conclusion permit us to say that there is abundant evidence on every hand showing not only the remarkable growth of our Order, but also proving its fitness as a minister to the trials and adversities which are inseparable from human life. It has become a factor for good in our social existence which cannot be over-estimated. In our own great State of Illinois it has accomplished much in the past, and in the near future will succeed in accomplishing greater things. Humbly expressing our thanks for having been chosen and permitted to serve you in The Sovereign Grand Lodge we fraternally submit this, our report.

The Grrand Master presented the following, which was re- ferred to the Special Committee on Analysis and Distribution.

GRAND MASTER'S SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.

Brethren of the Grand Lodge:

So that there might be time to have my report printed for your use at this session, I was compelled to close it some time before the opening of the Grand Lodge. Since my report has gone to press a few other items have come up which should go into our records. The chief of these is the report of Sister Nellie L. Harris, Chief Instructor of the Rebekah Assembly. It is found herewith, and shows the work of the Rebekahs in excellent condition. Sister Harris is to be congratulated on her excellent work.

REPORT OF NELLIE L. HARRIS.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 1, 1908. Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master, Decatur, 111. Dear Sir and Brother: — It gives me pleasure to comply with the custom of the Order, and present to you a report of the work of the past year as Chief Instructor for Rebekah Lodges of Illinois. Much satisfaction is felt in the fact that we have, as an Order, progressed so rapidly in efficiency along this particular line of work. The necessity of concerted action in all things looking to welfare of all our interests, and the desire of the members for a better understanding of every branch of the Order, has been more fully demonstrated than heretofore. Greater interest has been exhibited in our district meetings (of which there has been a large number held), where the parliamentary laws and those governing our Order have been thoroughly discussed, and a more complete understanding of our duties has resulted. The un- written work of the degrees has engaged the attention of the members to a greater degree than ever before, and the result is an increase in the number of commissions issued. It has been my pleasure during the past twelve months to have been closely in touch with many leading members of other jurisdictions, and I am pleased and gratified to re- port that the reputation of our State, as to its methods along educa- tional lines in the work in which we are engaged, has gone broadcast into our sister States, and many have been the inquiries as to our manner of bringing so forcibly to our members the aims and means

362 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { Nov.^VL^^h.

of carrying out our purposes. The manner of conducting our district meetings has been most favorably commented upon, and in many cases adopted, by other jurisdictions, all of which makes us feel that our labors are not in vain. It has been my privilege and pleasure to con- duct the schools of instruction at eleven district meetings; and in everj' case too much cannot be said in praise of the successful efforts to cultivate and extend the social side of our institution, as well as to provide the facilities for improving our minds. At all these meetings the enthusiasm was phenomenal. Following is a list of the names of those to whom it has been my pleasure to issue certificates, of whom 1S3 were commissioned as Examiners and 153 as Instructors, making a total of 336.

Thanking you for the many courtesies extended, and congratulating you upon the success that has attended your year as Grand Master, this report is faithfully submittedv

DUANE LODGE CASE.

Since my report was made I received the following from the Attor- neys in the Duane Lodge Case, which I submit herewith for information.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 14, 1908. Hon. Owen Scott, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, Decatur,

111.

Dear Sir: — Relative to the defalcation of the Treasurer of Duane Lodge, No. 11, we desire to report that, after the last session of the Grand Lodge, we took up the matter of a new indictment with the State's Attorney of Cook CountJ^ and, after many conferences with the State's Attorney's office, which included the filing of briefs, etc., we succeeded in having a new indictment voted.

We have prepared the case for trial, and the case was on the trial calendar, but was passed on account of the engagement of the Treas- urer's counsel. Later in the year, we endeavored to have the case placed upon the calendar again, but were unable to do so on account of the Treasurer's counsel, Mr. John E. W. Waymari, being engaged in a can- vass for the nomination for the office of State's Attorney for Cook county. After Mr. Wayman's nomination, he was engaged in a very bitter con- test which lasted for a period of about six weeks, and after the termina- tion of this contest, he was then engaged in his campaign for election, ^nd we were unable to have the case placed upon the calendar.

370 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS { Nov^Tt^^MS.

Since the election, we have endeavored to have the case placed upon the calendar, and have personally appeared before the State's Attorney several times, but have not succeeded in having this case brought to trial. We have been assured, however, that we will be able to get a trial about the first of December, 190S.

Fraternally submitted.

EXPELLED MEMBER REINSTATED.

Robert Kelly, expelled by Sandwich Lodge, No. 212, October 17, 1904. On November 11, 1908, I gave permission for his reinstatement by said Lodge, compliance with the provisions of the law having been had.

CONSOLIDATION.

On November 13, 1908, I issued a dispensation for the consolidation of Disco Lodge, No. 654, and Terre Haute Lodge, No. 616, both located in Terre Haute, Illinois. Said consolidation was not completed in time for my report, but will no doubt be effected, and perhaps has already been made.

A CLAIM FOR BENEFITS.

Mr. Otto Roos, son of Edward Roos, deceased, late a member of Lily of the West Lodge, No. 407, presented a claim for sick benefits to said Lodge on account of his father. I gave said claim such investigation as I had opportunity to make, and sustained the action of the Lodge in refusing to pay benefits for the period from September 5, 1904, to Octo- ber 31, 1907.

The family of our deceased brother are of the opinion that the Lodge is indebted to them for benefits covering the period mentioned. In order that no injustice may be done, I recommend that the case be referred ta the incoming Grand Master for further examination and action.

Whereas, There is an international effort to stamp out the White

Plague; and

Whereas, There will be extra exertions by Boards of Health to isolate all cases of Tuberculosis; and

Whereas, Such activity will probably result in ostracizing all of the afflicted brothers, making it impossible to obtain hospital or other accommodations for them; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Grand Lodge Representatives be instructed to introduce in The Sovereign Grand Lodge suitable legislation for the establishment of a National Odd Fellows' Sanitarium for the cure and care of our afflicted members, and to use their best endeavors to have the Sovereign Grand Lodge establish such a Home.

Whereas, The Sovereign Grand Lodge, toy levying a heavy tribute upon the membership, is able to take annual junketing tours to the re- mote cities in the United States, and large sums of money are squan- dered each year for carriage hire, for show in the great annual parade, and other incidental expenses; and such conduct on the part of the members of the Supreme Head of the Order is calculated to bring the Order into disrepute both at home and abroad, the money being ex-

tracted from the membership of the subordinate lodges by selling Char- ters, Rituals, Odes, Books and Supplies at enormous and outrageous profits, and by levying $75.00 Capitation Tax for each of our representa- tives; therefore, be it

Resolved, That our representatives to the Sovereign Grand Lodge are requested to "Get Busy" and investigate and try to bring about a system of legislation that will bring some relief to the subordinate juris- dictions. That they make an effort to get relieved from the payment of the $75.00 per capita tax; and such other reduction as may appear proper and consistent with honesty and economy.

Whereas, the new Ritual provides for new and important changes in the Degree for ritualistic work which will necessitate a rearrange- ment of many of the details of the ritualistic work; and

Whereas, Many delegates and captains of degree staffs attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge from year to year expecting to wit- ness a perfest exhibition of the ritualistic work, in order to take back to their respective lodges ideas for the betterment of their staffs, and yet who are as often disappointed by witnessing inferior and often er- roneous work by teams not properly qualified to give them; and

Whereas, While it is necessary to have an Official Chief of In- structors for the purpose of authoritative and correct teaching of the secret work, the same principle should necessarily apply to the teach- ing of .authoritative and correct ritualistic and floor work, which is fully as important; therefore, be it

Resolved, That a permanent staff be organized to be known as "The Official Grand Lodge Staff," by the Chief of Instructors, under whose control and instruction it shall work, and whose duty shall be to illus- trate the floor work of the Subordinate Lodge at each session of the Grand Lodge for the benefit of the members thereof, and that each member of the staff shall receive mileage and per diem.

The following was offered by Bro. George "W. Young, of No. 392, and was referred to the Committee on the State of the Order. [See eighteenth report of that committee.]

Whereas, The Sovereign Grand Lodge is the Supreme Head and true source of all Odd Fellowship over all Subordinate and Grand

Lodges under its authority, and is recognized as possessing legislative, executive and judicial powers;

And whereas, Said Sovereign Grand Lodge, at its annual session at St. Paul in A. D. 1907, did adopt a new Ritual for the use of Subordinate Lodges subject to its jurisdiction;

And whereas, It appears that such action on the part of said Sov- ereign Grand Lodge was an arbitrary use of its power, and, so far as the Jurisdiction of the State of Illinois is concerned, there was no necessity nor any demand for a new Ritual, nor for the revision of the old one, but, on the contrary, the Order was generally satisfied, and was building up a large and rapidly growing membership in all parts of the state, and said Ritual is, in our opinion, no improvement on the old one, and, to put the work on the floor properly, as provided by the requirements of said Ritual, will require each lodge to incur additional expense in the purchase of new and additional paraphernalia and working apparatus, without any material benefit to said lodges;

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, by the representatives here in Grand Lodge assembled, that the action of the Sovereign Grand Lodge in revising said Ritual, in the time and manner the same was done, does not meet with our approval; that we regard such action as unwise, un- called for, and not necessary for the benefit of the Order in this State.

Whereas, Brother John Miller was duly initiated a member of Duane Lodge, No. 11, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, located at Chicago, Illinois, on Nov. 9, 1858; and,

Whereas, Brother Miller has been continuously a member in good standing since that date, and is now a member in good standing of said Lodge; and.

Whereas, it is duly evidenced and proven by the official certificate hereto attached, and made a part hereof; and

Whereas, The Grand Lodge of this State, at its session of 1907, adopted a resolution recommending that all brothers in this State who have been for fifty years in continuous good standing be granted a fifty- year veteran jewel by the Grand Lodge, upon presenting- to the Grand Lodge, at its annual session, certificate showing that they have been in continuous good standing for fifty years;

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, by the Grand Lodge of Illinois of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, now in session at Springfield, Illi- nois, that a fifty-year veteran jewel be granted to Brother John Miller.

Dear Brethren — Some years ago the charter, together with the funds, of the Odd-Fellows' Lodge of Meredosia was surrendered to the Grand Lodge.

During last June a new lodge was organized, Meredosia Lodge, No. 962, which is now in working order, and as the Lodge is new with a small membership and having strong competition, we therefore kindly ask and herewith respectfully petition the Grand Lodge to assist us in establishing Odd-Fellowship anew in Meredosia Lodge, No. 962, by return- ing to said Lodge the funds, or in having any portion of said funds refunded to said Lodge No. 962.

We will be ever grateful should any help from this source come to us, and, in the event this special favor we request of you be granted, we assure you we will be exceedingly thankful to you.

In Friendship, Love and Truth, we remain.

Fraternally yours, L. E. DEPPE, Secretary. ROBT. FORD, Charter Member.

DOCUMENT NO. 26.

First report, by Bro. John R, Camp, of No. 322. To the Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Your Committee on Printing would respectfully report as follows, in regard to the matter of printing for the Grand Lodge:

For Printing the Grand Lodge Journal, the Officers' Reports, and the Proceedings of the Committee on Judiciary and Appeals, we re- ceived bids from the Illinois State Register Co., the Illinois State Jour- nal Co., and Phillips Bros., all of Springfield; J. W. Franks & Sons, of Peoria; and the Review Printing and Stationery Co., of Decatur.

For printing the Daily Journal we received bids from the Illinois State Register Co., the Illinois State Journal Co., and Phillips Bros., all of Springfield.

For printing' Stationery and Supplies we received bids from the Illinois State Register Co., the Illinois State Journal Co., Phillips Bros., and the Edw. F. Hartmann Co., all of Springfield; the Monarch Printing- Co., of Quincy, and the Review Printing and Stationery Co., of Decatur.

Proposals of the different firms were as follows:

For the Grand Lodge Journal — price per page.

State Register $2.50

Phillips Bros 2.75

State Journal 2.75

J. W. Franks & Sons 3.15

Decatur Review 3.00

For the Officers' Reports — price per page.

State Register $1-60

Phillips Bros 1-55

State Journal 1-40

J. W. Franks & Sons 1-50

Decatur Review 1-15

Because of the amount of the same matter used in both these jobs, they must be printed at the same place. The bid of the Illinois State Register Co., being the best for the two books, the contract for printing the Grand Lodge Journal and the Officers' Reports was awarded to that firm.

For printing the Daily Journal three bids were received, all from Springfield firms, as follows:

State Register, per page ; $2.50

Phillips Bros 2.25

State Journal * 2.50

The lowest bidder on the Daily Journal refused to accept the con-

fSv.^lsfitoS. \ GRAND LODGE OP ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 391

tract unless the other work was awarded to him, so the contract was given to the Illinois State Register Co.

For printing the quarterly reports of the Committee on Judiciary and Appeals bids were received as follows:

State Register per page $2.00

Phillips Bros 2.00

State Journal 1.40

J. W. Franks & Sons 1.83

Decatur Review 1.90

The bid of the Illinois State Journal Co. being the lowest, the work was awarded to that firm.

By taking the average and aggregate of the bids for printing Sta- tionery and Supplies, it was found that the proposal of the Edw. F. Hartmann Co., of Springfield, was the lowest and best, and the work was awarded to that firm.

Respectfully submitted,

We, your Committee on Home Libraries, respectfully report that we have received, from different Rebekah and Subordinate Lodges, and Brothers and Sisters throughout this State, eighty volumes for the two Homes, during this session

Your committee must say that the selections of books for the Homes are excellent, and we respectfully ask the Sisters and Brothers through- out this jurisdiction to keep on making donations, as the literature that is being sent to the Homes certainly is conducive to the upbuilding of the young minds and a solace to the old minds.

We would recommend that this Grand Lodge direct the Boards of the two Homes to construct shelf-room for the books that are being sent to our institutions.

We further recommend that the Grand Master cause to be sent out to the different lodges throughout the State a circular letter request- ing donations of books to our two Homes, the same to be sent to the Library Committee, care Grand Secretary's Office, Springfield, Illinois, or to be brought at the next session by the Representatives. We be- lieve that it is wise for this Grand Lodge to continue the Library Com- mittee for at least another year, by which time there should be an ac- cumulation of books sufficient to last the two Homes for a number of years.

DOCUMENT NO. 64.

To the Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, I.O.O.F.:

Tour Special Committee on Necrology find that Death has deprived this Jurisdiction of four of its most honored members. They are —

Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative JOHN LAKE, tvho died at his home in Rockford, Illinois, December 4th, 1907.

Past Grand Patriarch, Past Grand Representative and Grand Scribe HENRY C. FELTMAN, who died at his home in Salem, Illinois, April 11th, 190S.

Past Grand Patriarch and Past Grand Representative WALTER E. CARLIN, who died at his home in Jerseyville, Illinois, July 16th, '1908; and

Past Grand Patriarch, Past Grand Representative and Past Grand Treasurer WILLIAM SCHUCHERT, who died at his home in Chester, Illinois, June 18th, 1908.

The Grand Master, the Grand Patriarch, the Grand Scribe, and the Odd Fellows' Herald, have paid appropriate tributes to the memory of these distinguished Brothers, and you^ committee is indebted to them for many facts and sentiments.

JOHN LAKE.

The Odd Fellows' Herald contained the following tribute to the memory of Brother Lake:

"Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative John Lake was born at Blackwood farm, Somerset, England, March 27th, 1821, and died at his home in Rockford, Wednesdaj^ December 4th, 1907. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, December Sth, being in charge of Social Lodge, No. 140, in which Brother Lake had held membership for many years. He had been an Odd Fellow for anore than sixty years, being the first initiate and the oldest Odd Fellow in Winnebago county. He had been a resident of Rockford for more than seventy years, and was not only successful in his own business, but was successful as a pioneer and citizen in greatly aiding in making of Rockford one of the best cities in

414. JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS \ Nov!'TI,'^190

1908.

Illinois. He was an ideal citizen and an Odd Fellow thrpugh and through. 'Friendship, Love and Truth' were to him a living reality. In 1877 he was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, and subsequently served six years as Grand Representative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge. He left the impress of his pure character, his great heart and his comprehensive mind upon both of the Grand Bodies. His rugged honesty and sincere purpose always demanded that the right prevail. Character with him was the real test in his judgment of men. A man with great wealth and high position and whose character was questionable made very little impression upon him, but the struggler with pure character always found in Brother Lake a sympathizing- friend. For many years Brother Lake was also a member of the Grand Encampment, I. O. O. F. of Illinois, serving for much of the time as chairman of the Finance Committee of that body. It was fitting, there- fore, that both the Grand Lodge and the Grand Encampment be repre- sented at the funeral. Brother "W. R. Humphrey, in behalf of the Grand Lodge and at the request of the Grand Master, and Brother F. D. P. Snelling, Grand Patriarch, in behalf of the Grand Encampment, were present and assisted the lodge in the funeral ceremony. Brother Humph- rey acting as Noble Grand and Brother Snelling as Chaplain. There was a very Jarge attendance of brothers and friends at the funeral. Social Lodge and the neighboring lodges were out in almost full force. They loved Brother Lake and had looked up to him as a child will look up to its father. They knew he was their friend and brother, and that his words were the words of wisdom. His suffering has ended, he has finished his life's work and has gone to his reward. The good that he has done will live after him. The influence of his life will be helpful for good for long years to come."

The following is a condensed record of Brother Lake's membership in the Order:

He was initiated in "Winnebago Lodge, No. 31, September 15th, 1847. He became a charter member of Social Lodge, No, 140, which was in- stituted February 6th, 1854. He was the second Vice Grand and the third Noble Grand of that Lodge, becoming a Past Grand July, 1855. Later he served a second term as Noble Grand, and several terms as Treasurer. He entered the Grand Lodge in 1858, as Representative of the Lodge, in which position he was continued until the consolidation of Social with Winnebago Lodge in 1862. In 1863 he returned as Representative of Winnebago Lodge and served as an efficient member of the Committee on the State of the Order at the sessions of that year and of 1864, when he was elected Deputy Grand Master for the ensuing year. He was chairman of the Committee on Finance at the sessions of 1866, '71, '72, '73, '74, '75, '76 and '77, rendering most faithful and valuable service in that capacity. At the session of 1877 he was elected Grand

N^v^'ig^ig'oS. \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 415

Master, and in 1878 Grand Representative, serving in the latter position, by successive re-elections, for six years. After his retirement from office he continued to attend the sessions of the Grand Lodge as long as the condition of his health would permit, serving on standing or special committees at every session. In 1890 he was chairman of the Committee on the State of the Order, and in 1891 of the Committee on Legislation. At the session of 1894 and that of 1895 he presided for a short time as Grand Master pro tern., and at the latter session (the last at which he was present) he was chairman of a Special Committee on the Orphans' Home.

HENRY C. FELTMAN.

Henry C. Feltman was born in St. Louis, Mo., December 5th, 1849, and died at Salem, Illinois, April 11th, 1908. He became a member of the Order by initiation in Mount Olive Lodge, No. 114, and was a charter member of Olive Branch Encampment, No. 159, both of that city. Pa- triarch Feltman entered the Grand Encampment at the Jacksonville session, in 1876; was elected Grand Junior Warden in 1885, Grand Sen- ior Warden in 1886, Grand High Priest in 1887, Grand Patriarch in 1888, Grand Representative in 1889 and in 1890. Our beloved and highly honored Patriarch was elected Grand. Scribe in 1899, which position he faithfully and honorably filled until his death. Patriarch Feltman was honored with many responsible positions in his home city, he having filled the offices of postmaster, mayor, alderman, police magistrate, city clerk, city attorney, member of the State Board of Equalization, and many other minor positions. Patriarch Feltman was a shining light in the Grand Encampment, and his smiling countenance will be missed by all. He was an ardent worker for Odd Fellowship; no one will be missed more at the Grand Encampment than our beloved Patriarch, Henry C. Feltman. His good and kind deeds and acts will ever remain fresh and green in the minds of Odd Fellows of Illinois.

WALTER E. CARLIN.

Walter E. Carlin, the thirtieth Grand Patriarch, was born at Car- roUton, Illinois, April 11th, 1844, and died in Jerseyville, Illinois, July 16th, 1908. In the war for the Union Major Carlin entered the United States Army as a Sergeant Major of the 30th Regiment, Illinois Volun- teer Infantry, rapidly rising to the rank of captain before he was nine- teen years of age. He served in the army of the Cumberland on the staff of his brother. Gen. W. P. Carlin. Our Patriarch earned many civil and military honors, having been for many years chairman of the County Board, and served several terms in the legislature. He was

made an Odd Fellow in Carrollton Lodge, No. 342, June 7th, 1867, and afterwards changed his membership to Jersey ville Lodge, No. 53, and Jerseyville Encampment, No. 20, to which he was admitted August 27th, 1867. He entered the Grand Encampment in 1873, was elected Grand ■ Junior Warden in 1876, Grand Senior Warden in 1877. Grand High Priest in 1878, Grand Patriarch in 1879, and served as Grand Represent- ative for a period of eighteen years. Brother Carlin was a true Odd Fellow and dearly beloved by all.

The following sketch, from his home paper, copied into the Odd Fellows' Herald, gives much information of his domestic life and his military career:

MAJOR WALTER E. CARLIN.

"Walter Evans Carlin was born in Carrollton, Greene County, Illi- nois, April 11th, 1844, and passed away from his home in this city Thursday morning, July 16th, 1908, aged 64 years, 3 months and 5 days. His father died when he was but 4 years of age. He attended the pub- lic school of Carrollton and Christian Brothers' College in St. Louis, and for a time was a student in the State University of Wisconsin. He was a nephew of Governor Thomas Carlin.

"On August 17, 1861, he enlisted in Company A of the 3Sth Illinois infantry, being but 17 years of age. He was promoted to second lieu- tenant and to first lieutenant, and finally to captain, but being under 19 he could not accept this last commission. He was on the staff of Gen. Jefferson C. Davis, and also of his brother. Gen. Wm. P. Carlin, and was highly commended by General Davis for his gallantry at the battle of Chickamauga. In 1868 he was married to Miss Mary Cross, daughter of Hugh N. Cross of this city, and removed to Mt, Vernon, where Mr. Carlin. engaged in the banking business with Hugh N. and A. W. Cross. In the fall of 1872 he moved to Jerseyville and. also engaged in the banking business, the firm being known as Cross, Carlin & Co.

"In 1880 Mrs. Carlin died leaving two daughters, Mary Eugenia and Alma W., now Mrs. Ralph Vandenburg, of Peoria, and Mrs. Paul M. Hamilton of this city. In 1883 Mr. Carlin married Miss Lina Darnielle, of Chatham, Sangamon county. Two daughters were born to this union, Clara and Julia, who, with the widow, survive him. Three sisters also survive him.

"Major Carlin was high up in the ranks of Odd Fellowship, he hav- ing joined that order many years ago, and for twenty years was repre- sentative from the Grand Encampment of Illinois to the Sovereign Grand Lodge

"Major Carlin was one of the leading business men of Jerseyville, and was careful in looking after public interests in all offices with which the people honored him. Several times he was elected alderman

Nov!T9.*^1968. i GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 417

of the city and served as alderman from the First ward up to last spring, his health not permitting him to run for re-election. He was a man of wonderful memory, and could remember names, faces and dates phenomenally, and had a very large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout this and other states. He was also active politically, being a true democrat, and ever indorsing democratic candidates, and previous to his illness a great deal of attention was paid to his advice politically, because he was always well read and well posted. He was appointed by Governor Altgeld a member of the commission to place Illinois mon- uments upon the various Southern battlefields, and was retained in that position by Governor Tanner.

"The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday after- noon, Rev. W. H. Jordon, assisted by Rev. J. A. Lucas of Lincoln, 111., officiating. The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs attended in large numbers, many from a distance being present."

WILLIAM SCHUCHERT.

"William Schuehert was born in Otterndorf, Hanover, Germany, September 28th, 1832, and died at Chester, Illinois, June 18th, 1908. He came to the United States with his father in 1848. Several years of our Patriarch's life were spent in California during the 'early fifties,' and it was while there he became a member of the Order, being initiated in Oriental Lodge, No. 45, at Marysville, California, November 15th, 1855. Returning to Chester, he deposited his card in Chester Lodge, No. 57, in 1858, where his membership remained until his death. He became a member of Randolph Eiicampment, No. 55, of Chester (but at that time located at Sparta), October 25th, 1867. He entered the Grand Lodge of Illinois at the Bloomington session in 1865, and the Grand En- campment at Alton in 1868, to both of which he was a constant attend- ant. He was elected Grand Senior Warden in 1879, Grand Patriarch in ISSl, and appointed Grand Representative in 1884 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Grand Representative George W. Akins. He was elected Grand Treasurer in 1900, which office he filled with honor for six years, when he declined re-election. Our distinguished Patri- arch was loved and highly respected by all who knew him and by none more than the citizens of Chester, who have several times elected him niayor of that city."

A volume might be written of the useful services of these distin- tinguished Brothers, but suffice it to say none were more loyal to the principles of the Order or labored more diligently for their success.

In 1839 Past Grand Master Samuel Pryor, of Pennsylvania, was elected proxy Representative by the Grand Lodge of Illi- nois, but did not serve. At the adjourned session in April, 1840, Past Grand Master Augustus Mathiot, of Maryland, presented credentials as proxy Repre- sentative of Illinois, which were accepted, and he was also recognized in that capacity at the annual session in October following; but there is no record of his election or appointment. In 1842 and 1843, James Earnest, of New York, was elected and served as proxy Representative of Illinois. In 1844 Past Grand Master William S. Stewart, of Mis.souri, D.D.G.S., was requested to appoint a proxy Representative for the Grand Lodge of Illinois; but no such proxy was present at the session of that year. In 1845 no election for Representative was held.
