Odd Fellowship having increased so rapidly and spread its organ izEition from the Atlantic far out on the bosoiik of the Pacific, within a few years, has natuniUy attracted the attention of nearly all classes of the community. Seventy -one years have scarcely passed since the birth of American Odd Fellowship, and now over six hundred thousand men are among its votaries. It cannot be said that its rapid growth was the result of accident, or in consequence of of its novelty ; for it was solely because of its adaptation to the wants of mankind. Odd Fellowship teaches in the most beautiful and forcible manner the all-important lesson of Fraternity— that all men are of one family, and are therefore brethren. The great duties of our Order by and through which we aim to improve and exalt the charac- ter of our members, are five in number : 1st, To visit the sick. 2nd, To relieve the distressed. 3rd, To bury the dead. 4th, To educate the orphan. 5th, To aid the widow. And in obed- ience to these commands about one million of dollars have been expended during the past year for these noble purposes. Yet Odd Fellowship is not a mere beneficial society, having for its single purpose the relief of its members in the struggles incident to human society. It seeks 6 PREFACE. to improve and elevate the character of man- to imbue him with proper conceptions of his capabihties for good, to enlighten his mind, and to enlarge the sphere of his affections. It there- fore commends itself alike to the high, the low, the rich and the poor, as one of the noblest chari- ties the world ever saw. The principles of Odd Fellowship are those of humanity and religion ; its object is to promote the general cood of mankind, ctnd spread abroad the light of morality and knowledge ; it not only be.,efits the common cause of philanthropy, but insures to its members in the hour of adver- sity and tribulation a source of safety and com- fort that none can destroy. The ties that bind us together are never sun- dered ; our claims of brotherhood are only dissolved by death—no, not even death can rend them— they descend to the widow and orphan. The language of our Order is more potent than any strain of eloquence that ever fell upon the ear. A stranger, penniless and friendless in a foreign land, breathes its tones, and his neces- sities are relieved. Sickness comes and lays its paralysing hand upon him, and though no friends or relatives are near, a brother of the *' Mystic lie administers to his wants and soothes his distresses. The sick among our own brethren are not left to the cold hand of public charity ; they are visited, and their wants provided for, out of the funds they themselves have contribu- ted to raise, and which, in time of need, they can honorably claim without the humiliation of suing for public or individual relief, from which PREFACE. of man — ons of his mind, and It there- , the low, »lest chari- ■e those of promote ad abroad e ; it not a-nthropy, of adver- and com- ever sun- are only 1 can rend i orphan. e potent fell upon sndless in lis neces- 1 lays its lo friends *' Mystic othes his brethren charity ; ided for, 3ontribu- ed, they iation of m which 4 the freeborn mind recoils with disdain, until overwhelmed in insufferable want and misery. We are obliged, if need be, to perform the last solemn office to the remains of a departed brother, and see them consigned with respectful decency to the bosom of our mother earth. To the living our fraternal solicitude is no less exercised. It is our enjoined duty to watch over the conduct of brethren, even in their com- mon intercourse with men, as well as one with another ; and to remonstrate with those who wander from the paths of rectitude or trespass upon the rules of morality. It has been said that ours is a secret Order, and that secrecy is disconsonant with innocence. True it is, that we are in part a secret society ; but is secrecy a crime ? The world itself, the universe, the God of eternal truth, are surround- ed with an impenetrable veil that no mortal eye ever pierced ; and shall it be denied that these exist because their secrets are not revealed at our bidding ? Shall we pronounce them evil be- cause their operations are hidden from our view and above our comprehension ? So far from secrecy being an abjection to our Order, we claim it as a recommendation. It is the mystic tie that binds us together in indissol- uble brotherhood, prompting us to deeds of brotherly love and benevolence ; it comes and entwines itself around our fraternity, like the refreshing yet invisible breeze that at summer noontide fans our burning forehead, invigorat- ing the system with its coolness, and gladdening our hearts with its freshness and purity. In 8 PREFACE. this respect we have the sanction of aL'es. We challenge any one to point out a single nation or people whose career is sketched on the pai^e of SrZ- ''"'''"^'^^''•? there did not exist secret St tutions. ^o go further, there is not an en- of^thrJlol^''^T'?1"* "^^ ^^^«*^"« °" the face ot the globe, that does not permit its legislative ckT'^'p" '''^^'' themselves into secret cTn cidve Ji,ven in our own country, under our own constitution, the legislative bodies can close months ' ^1^ ''^ ^^" "^'"y^' ^«^ ^^«ks, for months, concocting measures of vital importance of tiZ^'^T P?P"l^t»«"' and should any member ot that body dare to reveal its operations he would subject himself to the severest ceisure, if not to expulsion.
