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- 


Nov"l7f^9b8.  'i  GRAND   LODGE   OF   ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.F.  15 

\ 

\  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 


16  JOURNAL     OF     PROCEEDINGS  "I  Nov"l7f  1908. 

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.

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.

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

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.

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 


t^O  JOURNAL     OF     PROCEEDINGS  |      Tuesday,

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."

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

[  GRAND   LODGE   OF   ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.P. 


47 


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.  Following  is  a  list  of

Butler  Lodge,  No.  317,  located  at  Butler,  in  Montgomery  County,  was 
closed  February  15,  1908,  by  Brother  K.  R.  Hart,  P.G.,  of  Montgomery 
Lodge,  No.  40.  A  box  containing  the  effects  of  this  lodge  was  received

sum  of  $139.34.  It  is  reported  that  some  property  is  still  in  the  hands

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:

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.

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.

My  official  acts  follow: 

November  18th,  1907.  Held  a  school  of  examinations  of  Instructors 
in  hall  of  Springfield  Lodge,  No.  465.  At  this  meeting  many  of  the 
Instructors  were  present,  and  after  their  examinations  those  found 
perfect  were  assigned  to  examine  any  brother  who  desired  to  qualify 
during  the  week  of  Grand  Lodge.  On  account  of  enfeebled  health,  the 
Chief  Examiner  and  Instructor,  Brother  Walter  E.  Carlin,  P.G.R.,  was 
not  able  to  be  present,  for  the  first  time  in  many  years.

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.

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,

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.

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. 

First  report,  by  Bro.  James  Ewiug  Davis,  of  Xo.  450.

on  hand,  and  for  a  detailed  statement  of  tiie  receipts  and  disbursements, 
as  well  as  an  inventory,  see  Grand  Secretary's  Report. 

Your  committee  checked  np  the  office  a-nd  found  the  business  con- 
ducted in  a  very  satisfactory  and  efficient  manner  and  the  funds  and 
property  of  the  Grand  Lodge  duly  and  properly  accounted  for.  The 
receipts  of  the  office  for  the  six  months  ending  April  30th,  1908,  were

The  following  lodges  were  delinquent  in  their  annual  and  semi-

The  following  lodge  was  delinquent  May  1,  1908,  in  the  matter  of

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.

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.

Secretary's  office  for  the  six  months  ending  November  1,  1908,  amount- 
ing to  $991.27,  and  find  the  same  proper  and  necessary  expenditures. 
We  find  regular  vouchers  for  same  on  file  in  the  Secretary's  office  and 
recommend  that  the  Secretary's  bill  therefor  be  allowed.

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

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

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

vs.  {  Judiciary  and  Appeals, 

W.  A.  Duddercr.  ^         February  Session,  1908. 

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.

G.  W.  Miller.  j  Before  Committee  on 

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

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.

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,

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.

Eugene  Rice.  ^        February  Session,  1908. 

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.

Opinion  by  Brother  Henry  Phillips,  of  No.  16. 

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.

Case  No.  3S0. 

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.

mini  Lodge,  No  4,  I.O.O.F.,  |  Before  Committee  on 

vs.  >  Judiciary  and  Appeals, 

Phillip  Lee.  \  May  Session,  1908. 

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

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. 

STATEMENT. 

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

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-

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.

St.  Clair  Lodge.  No.  119.  I.O.O.F..      .   Before  Committee  on 

vs.  v  Judiciary  and  Appeals, 

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 


218  JOURNAL    OF    PROCEEDINGS  .  1  Nov"  IT^Iigbs. 


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.

Case  No.  38.',. 

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

vs.  )  Judiciary  and  Appeals, 

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

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.

Case  No.  388. 

Chas.  N.  Slade,  ]   Before  Committee  on 

vs.  I  Judiciary  and  Appeals, 

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,

tendance  at  the  sessions  of  the  Grand  Lodge,  Representative,  and  mem- 
ber of  the  various  Grand  Lodge  Committees,  tlie  number  of  days'  at- 
tendance of  same,  and  the  amount  due  to  each.  The  committee  shall 
make  its  estimate  by  allowing  five  cents  mileage  one  way,  and  $2.00 
per  diem. 

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.

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, 


Nov.  17,  1908. 


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.

"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- 


No^^lTf  1908.  \         GRAND   LODGE   OP   ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.F.  243 


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 


244  JOURNAL     OF     PROCEEDINGS  ]  ^Tuesday, 


Nov.  17,  190S. 


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 


Nov?17f  1908.  [  GRAND   LODGE   OF    ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.F.  247 


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.     All  lodges

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-

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 


Nov^  r?!  ms.  \  GRAND    LODGE   OF    ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.F.  261 

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

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

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. 


No^"1.7?1908.  \  GRAND   LODGE   OF   ILLINOIS,   I.O.O.F.  265 

"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.

"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

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

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."

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 


274  JOURNAL    OF    PROCEEDINGS  |      Tuesday, 


Nov.  17.  1908. 


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,

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

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.

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.

288  JOURNAL    OF    PROCEEDINGS  1  Nov  "irf  1908. 

authoritj',  hereby  recommend  all  Rebekah  Assemblies  and  Rebekah 
Lodges  to  set  apart  the  twentieth  day  of  September,  1908,  for  its  due 
observance  as  the  Fifty-seventh  (57th)  Anniversary  of  said  Degree. 
And  to  that  end  to  dedicate  the  occasion  to  appropriate  exercises  and 
thanksgiving  to  Almighty  God  for  His  manifold  blessings  to  the  mem- 
bers  of  the  Rebekah  Degree,   individually  and  collectively. 

Done  at  the  City  of  Chicago,  State  of  Illinois,  this  fourth  day  of 
August,  A.  D.  1908,  and  of  the  Rebekah  Degree,  the  Fifty-seventh  (57th)

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 


292  JOURNAL    OP    PROCEEDINGS  ^  isrni^l  T^^^qli 


(  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.

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<

humble  ability  may  furnish,  should  it  be  desired.

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

Fraternally  submitted, 

JOHN  B.  GOODWIN,

Grand  Lodge  proposed  at  the  Session  of  1907  were  taken  up  and  dis-

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:

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

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. 

Scourged  to  his  dungeon,  but,  sustained  and  soothed

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."

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.

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

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

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-

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-

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-

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. 

JAMES  EWING  DAVIS,

Deering  Lodge  No.  717. 

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. 

OWEN  SCOTT,   Grand  Master. 

The  Special  Committee  on  Analysis  and  Distribution  pre- 
sented the  following  report,  which,  under  suspension  of  the 
rule,  was  considered  and  adopted.

Resolved  That  Section  699  of  the  By-Laws  of  this  Grand  Lodge  be

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.

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  Miller  has  been  continuously  a  member  in  good

Whereas,  it  is  duly  evidenced  and  proven  by  the  official  certificate

Whereas,  The  Grand  Lodge  of  this  State,  at  its  session  of  1907,

have  been  for  fifty  years  in  continuous  good  standing  be  granted  a  fifty-

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

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

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.

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,

Committee. 

The  Grand  Lodge  then  proceeded  to  the  consideration  of 

Amendments  to  the  Constitution  of  the  Grand  Lodge  proposed 

at  the  session  of  1907  (see  pages  227  to  229  inclusive  of  this 

Journal). 

The  proposed  amendment  to  Section  1  of  Article  IV  was 
adopted  by  the  required  majority.  The  section  as  amended 
reads  as  follows: 

"Section  1.  The  Officers  of  the  Grand  Lodge  shall  be  as  follows, 
viz.:  Grand  Master,  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Grand  "Warden,  Grand  Secre- 
tary, Grand  Treasurer,  and  two  Grand  Representatives  to  the  Sovereign 
Grand  Lodge  of  the  Independent  Order  of  Odd  Fellows,  one  elected 
annually  for  the  term  of  one  year,  and  one  biennially  for  the  term  of 
two  years;  all  of  whom  shall  be  elected  by.  ballot.  Also,  Grand  Chap- 
lain, Grand  Marshal,  Grand  Conductor,  Grand  Guardian,  and  Grand 
Herald,  all  of  whom  shall  be  appointed." 

The  proposed  amendment  to  Section  8  of  Article  VI  was 
adopted  by  the  required  majority.  The  section  as  amended 
reads  as  follows: 

"Sec.  8.  The  Committee  on  Printing  shall  superintend  all  printing, 
and  shall  purchase  all  stationery  and  blanks  not  supplied  by  the  Sov- 
ereign  Grand   Lodge.     They   shall   advertise   for   bids   for   printing   the

reports  of  the  Grand  Officers,  the  Proceedings  of  the  Annual  Session 
of  this  Grand  Lodge  in  the  Englisli  language,  and  such  other  printing 
as  may  be  required  by  the  Grand  Officers,  awarding  the  contracts  for 
such  work  to  the  lowest  responsible  bidder,  and  reporting  the  original 
list  of  said  bidders,  with  the  prices  that  they  have  offered  to  perform 
the  work  for,  to  the  next  session  of  the  Grand  Lodge.  They  shall  sign 
all  bills  for  which  they  may  have  awarded  contracts,  as  being  correct. 
Provided,  all  stationery  and  blanks  for  the  Old  Folks'  Home  and  the 
Orphans'  Home  may  be  printed  under  the  direction  of  the  Boards  of  the 
respective  Homes." 

The  proposed  amendment  to  Section  10  of  Article  VI 
failed  of  adoption.

Grand  Lodge  then  proceeded  to  the

First  report,  by  Bro.  L.  L.  McKinley,  P.G.M.,  of  No.  41. 

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

This  committee  has  given  very  careful  consideration  to  the  question

Document  No.  65  (page  418),  in  the  matter  of  paying  the 
actual  expenses  of  degree  staffs,  was  referred  by  the  Grand 
Lodge  to  the  Committee  on  Finance.  Just  prior  to  the  close  of 
the  session  this  committee  was  asked  for  a  report  and  made  the 
statement  that  the  resolution  did  not  reach  their  committee ; 
whereupon  the  Committee  on  Finance,  not  having  time  to  make 
a  report  in  regular  form,  by  its  chairman,  James  Ewing  Davis, 
recommended  the  paying  of  the  following  amounts,  viz. :  To 
the  Elgin  Staff,  $163.35;  to  the  Kenney  Staff,  $42.00;  these 
amaunts  to  be  distributed  among  the  members  of  the  two 
Degree  Staffs  to  cover  actual  expenses. 

Upon  this  verbal  report  the  Grand  Lodge  voted  to  adopt 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Finance. 

Following  the  session  the  chairman  of  the  committee,  in 
consultation  with  the  other  members,  decided  that  a  mistake 
had  been  made,  and  that  in  view  of  previous  action  by  the 
Grand  Lodge  these  expenses  should  not  have  been  paid.  The 
Grand  Master  being  of  the  same  opinion,  warrants  were  not

the  Grand  Lodge. 

On  request  of  the  Grand  Master,  part  of  the  expenses  of

of  thanks  was  extended  to  the  retiring  Grand  Master,  Owen 
Scott,  for  his  courtesy  and  fairness. 

On  motion  of  Bro.  Geo.  W.  Young,  of  No.  392,  a  similar

§Until  1S45  inclusive,  proxy  representation  in  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the 
United  States  was  permitted.  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.
