CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER. SUNDAY - JAN. 17, 1815. ARE YOU DOING ALL THAT YOU CAN? [From tbe Heart and Ham).] Tbe practical system upon which American Odd Fellowship works—-the completeness of detail, the ease and perfect success with which the whole machinery runs, the great results achieved when emergencies arise— •how that a grand power for good can be exerted if we only make up our minds to try. Already have we so perfected this great institution that over a million men, women and children,on this con tinent, are assured of certain relief and sympathy should dark days come upon them. Already the reputation of the Order is of the best character, and a world stands amazed at its achievements and success. Every individual member has a part and lot in this reputation, this success; and whatever of good is done, said individual shares in the good will extended to tbe Order for it. But every individual member does not perform bis share of work. True, he may pay his dues regularly, but that is the smallest part of an Odd Fellow's dnty. If he does only this, ami absents himself from Lodge meet ings, serves on iro committees, takes no part in the welfare and success of tbe Order, he lies open to the charge that he only pays bis dues so as to In eligible to the benefits and that is not the best kind of a reputation to have. Circumstances are often such that one cannot attend his Lodge regular: old age, ill health, distance, etc.; these are good reasons, and we will tell you one ofthe poorest reasons, and one often heard: "I belong to so many other societies." When a man is in good health, and is seen only once or twice a year in his Lodge, there is something wrong. If a person has so much else to do that he cannot, at least, semi-oceasionally attend to the objects and mission of Odd Fellowship,by visiting his Lodge, working in its iuterests, aud doing his part in its transactions and duties, then we advise him not to join, and if he is already a member, aud in this always-otherwise-engaged condition, to take an honorable withdrawal card. It is not right, in a body of one hundred men or more, that a small percentage should "do everything." Wo would not belong to any institu tion where wedid uothavea voice and were practical.and we do not see upon what principle men who call them selves Odd Fellows, are always wil ling to take front seats at public dem onstrations, always willing to come in for a full share of whatever honor may attach to their Lodge or their Order, and yet never are seen in the Lodge, and never do a stroke of work to help our mission along from one year's end to another. What did they join for? Did they not know what were the objects of our institution before they came in? If they did not, they certainly found out the first night, or else the Past Grand was absent. If they could not come up to the requirements, why pretend to? To visit tbe Stek, relieve the dis tressed, bury the dead, protect the widow, and educate the orphan is our mission—or part of it. And it is time brethren were finding out that, if they would do their part in accomplishing it, they have got to be present in their Lodges. We frequently use the term "worker" in connection with our brethreu. We take it from those busy insects, the bees, and apply it to those who are ever zealous and faithful. There is another expression connected with bees, viz.: "drones," a class of winged things that do nothing and eat much. We ask the brethren to look at their drafts for benefits, and see who it is that draws funds. Now and then a regulur "worker" gets sick, but nine out of ten cases where relief is paid, it is to those whose faces are rarely seen in the Lodges. A good brother in Brooklyn once made a speech in our hearing, in which he said: "Brothers, if you want to keep in good health, attend your Lodge regularly. No faithful regular attendant ever gets sick. If you think I make any mis take in this particular, look and see who draws the benefits." Of course this meant the rule, and some careful inquiry on this point lias shown us tho brother was right. "Are you doing all that you can ?" Tf you respond alhrmativeiy, success to you, say we. if in the negative, then we say, study what the mission of our Order is, and then go in with a will. As to what our mission is, and what we may and can do, we invite perusal to a well-written article in the Com panion,, by Bro. J. Q. Gilchrist. It has some good practical hits and sug sestions that may be of benefit: OUR MISSION. It seems that, even at this lite day in our history, when we number our membership by tbe hundreds of thous ands, in the minds of many, perhaps I might say of the majority, there seems -to be anything but a clear idea of our true mission. "rr mey nave united themselves with this great brotherhood under a too common er ror, viz: that Odd Fellowship is sim ply a beneficial society," we ask them to be at once undeceived. In fact, in more ways than one, each and every member of the Order has had this fact presented to him, and yet many see it not yet. Some will say that our strictures are too sweeping; that the brotherhood are better informed than wo give them credit for. lv answoH, we have simply to ask a few questions —let each reader answer them for himself: Did you ever know of a Lodge of some age, which was attended by three-fourths of the actual member ship, a majority of nights in the term? Bid you ever know of a Lodge, young or old, that turned the most of its attention to the promulgation of its principles outside of iln pale, by regular aud systematic effort ? Of course all of us can, to a certain extent, answer " yes " to these ques tions; but the answer would not apply to a tenth, yea, to a hundredth part nf our Lodges. Brethreu, I much fear that many of us are in tbe wrong road. We are pledged to hasten the time when this world shall be one universal brother lined; when " they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks," and it becomes us to keep that object steadily In view. Why, with our profession of our faith, witn our wealth, and com manding influence of numbers, we should lead the way in everything that has the remotest tendency to this consummation. We should have our library in every town open to the public; we should have good lectures, good concerts, good entertainments for young and old. and have it known that we did it, too. Our secret work should be kept se cret, of course; hut Our halls should be open more freely; we should be less afraid to let the suulight enter them. Our libraries should be the favorite place of resort in all small towns, and we should constantly "let our light shine before men, so that they shall see our good works." We have done much, thank God, to lessen suffering, to relieve the dis tressed, to bury the dead, to educate tbe orphan, ami to preach sound, prac tical religion, and we are respected wherever we are known; but there is still much for us to do—and this then is our mission: To disseminate our fuinciples all over this our field of abor—the world; to go out into the highways and byways and point the world to a better life. When we have completed our mission there will be no more war and the trade of legal mur der will cease to exist; all the nations of the earth shall be members of one great family. Brethren, did you ever think of our mission being one like this? Assuredly you have; but many thought It a Uto pian scheme, I fear. Not so! It is real; the mind of man never conceived a nobler project. Let us bear in mind the injunction found iv the Book of books —the rule and pattern of our Order—"Whatever thy hand fiudeth to do, do it with thy might " We have bad occasion to speak of the dangers that seem to threaten us fn theimmediate future, and to point out how they may perhaps be averted. We have now tried to show that our business is not one of routine merely. When we all see and acknowledge our danger, and gee lag, take measures to avert, and when we are all educated up to the standard established by our founder and contemplated in our beau tiful ritual, we shall have made to ourselves a name and fame that will brreclipsed by very tew, if any. Our capacity for good is boundless. If our will is equal to our power, we can build a monument of good works that will last while the world endures. "Be ye not hearers ouly, but doers."
