Members of the local lodges of Odd, Fellows, Uncas, No. 11, and Shetucket | No. 87, with members of Hope Re- bekah lodge, No. 21, were present by invitation at the morning service at the Central Baptist church on Sun- day and the pastor, Rev. Joei B. Slo- cum, preached a special sermon for the occasion. The Middle Link. Dr. Slocum’s gubject was “The Middle Link,” and his text was I Cor | 13.13: “Now Abideth Faith, Hope, Love, these three; and the greatest of these 1s love.” Among other things the speaker said: H Of the three beautiful links of your order, the middle one—love—is ~the greatest. It reaches two ways: Through the first link, friendsship, to- ward man, and through the third Iink, truth, toward God. If I may change the text, “Friendship, love, truth. these three; but the greatest of these is love.” Three Strands. The middle link is composed of many strands, all forged together into a compact of wonderful sweetness and strength. Three of these strands de- | serve our special consideration; com- | passion, fellowship, service. {" I the story of the God Samaritan, ! which is a classic in Oddfellowship, it | is related that one man who looked up-, on the suffering stranger had compas- | sion. And he was the very man who | might be expected to cherish prejudice | and hatred. The others who were fei- | low countrymen and who were also dovotess of religion, passed by on the | other side. This man, who has the compaseion, was a hated Samaritan. His people and the Jews had been in a deadly feud for two hundred years. The cruel and relentless caste system of India is the only modern filustration | of these two adequately sets forth the intersity and bitterness of the alienation of these two peoples, ¥or | a Jew to touch a Samaritan, or a Samaritan to touch a Jew was defie- | ment, either way. Aand yet here was| !a Jew, but the cry of a human bemng. | Prejudice was great, but compassion | was greater. All Meet as Brothers. It is one of the conspicuous char- acteristics of this noble Brotherhood of Oddfelows, that anything like caste is entirely lacking and cordially de- {spised. In the lodge room and ever. | where else, the rich and the poor| meét on precisely the same plane, and they meet as brothers. A cordial prin- ciple of the order, is that expressed | is that famous line of Bur: ‘A man’s | a man for a’ that” And all this is| made possible through compassion. There are thousands upon thousands | of Oddfellows who cannot attend the | lodge meetings but who continue their | support, because they believe in the | principles and practices of the order. | They know that they are adding to| the world’s good by relieving it of | £ome of its hurt. A great host of | people will rise up to call you blessed | because, when they were sick, you | came upto them, when they were in need, you Ininistered to their necessi- ties. Against Avarice and Hatred. Henry Drummond called love the greatest thing in the vorld. Converse- ly, it would seem that hate is the worst thing in the world. Shyloek in “The Merchant of Venice, allows that it is his hatred of Antonio, rath- er than his good for gold, that drives him to insist on the pound of flesh. The campaigns of Oddfellowship have been against avarice and hatred, and many victories have been the result Old, but still inexpressibly beautiful, | is the story concerning Beecher and | the ragged newsboy. The little fellow | was out at the heals and elbows, and the night was bitter cold. E paper of him Mr. Beecher said him, “You may keep the change, my | lttle man.” Then with compassion | in his eyes and sympathy in his voice, | the great preacher added the tender inquiry. “Are vou not cold?’ Tears started down over the little pinched face as he answered, “Well sir, T was cold before 1 met you, but I am waim now.” Towards God and Men. Another strand of the middle link is fellowship. The very word car-| ries with it the suegestion of bene- | | fictent activities. The beautitude of the merciful is that he in turn shall recelve mercy. It is here that we begin to enter the mysterfes of re- demption. The ambition of the great Apostle was that he might know | Christ and the power of his resur- | rection and the fellowship of his| suffering. This strand of fellowship reaches out through the first link, | which is friend=hip, to our feilow men. Out through the other link, which is truth, ft reaches up toward God him- | self. So it is by fellowship that we! come to knew our fellow men, on the one hand, and God, on the oth- er, it is by fellowship that we be- eome idertified with men_ and learn their sorrows and joys, their prob- lems and their perils, and best of all, their possibilities. We must not live aloof from the pcople who make up the great current of life. Jesus himself was the greatest ex- | ample of fellowship, More than once did his enemies discover with rage that he had gone to be the guest with | a sinner. The common people heard | {him gladly, because it did not take { them ~ ling to discover tha he had inten- | | tified himself with their interests. He | [lived on the highest mountains, but hes | walked in the humblest valievs. He| ‘was ever occupied with broken hearts. | | His mission was to seck and to save; that which was lost. For the scif- {satisfied he had no medicine: but to | ithe sick he gave himself—the great | | Physiclan of the soul. | In the story of the Good Samaritan, as soon as compassion was aroused fellowship began. The merciful got down from his horse and become busy { with the deeds of mercy. The suc- cess of Oddfellowship has been large- ly due to the spirit of fraternity that has convinced the worid that the mis- | sion of the order is not seifish, but altruistic. Service. This brings us to a brief considera- tion of the third strand of the link which we are discussing this morn- ing, namely, the strand of service.We have somewhat anticipated this is our | }ho\xg about the other qualities of ove. Paul says of love that it is patient, Kind, fres from envy, humble, courte- ous, "unselfish, good-tempered, optl- mistle, etern n our service for our fellow men, which this order bids us perform, we shall find constant oppor- tunity for the expression of these characteristics of the middle link, Hvery day brings with it some chence to help. If your service can- not be great, then let it be small; enly let it be reel service for the help of men and the glm-‘v of Geod, The little Loy in the Bunday sehosl said that Jesus same inte the werld to save ‘sinders,” He did nai geem to Jnow that there was any special dif- ference between sinnens and pinder And perheps he was mearer right than we are disposed te think, Bven eind- ers-have some good coal in them and axe saving, Ops missien, - ke Rev.

Theme “The Middle Link”— the mission of our Lord is to seek and to save that which would other- wise be lost. Reaches Outside of Self. Oddfeliowship is nothing if it ends in itself. It is because it does not end there, that it will continue to ex- emplify high ideals of life and service. The great middle link of this order will continue, through its double associa- tion with friendship and truth to bind men to justice, fidelity and righteous- ness. There is one more tie, and that is the one that binds us to the sublimest persons that ever trod the paths of men. It is the tle of personal faith in the personal Christ. Without him, all purposes fall short, all strivings fail With him_ the noble principies of the order become rungs up the lad- der to God. Love is the greatest thing, because it is the most direct road to God. Brethren and sisters, in the coven- ants of friendship, love and truth, link your lives to him who said: “I am amcng you as one who serves. On Church Calendar. On the church calendar for the day was seen this greeting to the Odd Fei- lows: Our special guests, this morning, are the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Norwich. Feartily we welcome them here, congratulating them on the splendid principles and purposes of their order, and wishing them large success in their work in behalf of Friendship, Love and Truth. MAKES F‘INAL PAYMENT ON $1,300 INDEBTEDNESS. Haile Club Free from Debt and Self- Supporting. 'he Haile club members have just bave been aiming fo: the last two years in compietely paying off the bal- ance of the debts approximating $1,300 contracted in their name and for which they voluntarily assumed the respon- sibility a little over two years ago. Besides paying this debt, the club ! has been self supporting during this| period, which is the first time this| condition has existed since the organ- fzation of the club in 1907. This has been_ done, too, in spite of the fact | that, following the change to smaller | rooms in 1912, the club membership | dropped from over 200 to 50. Of this! 50, only about 30 are active, working | members, and it is by their efforts that | the task has been accomplished that they took up in January, 1912, imme- diately after becoming aware of the existing state of affairs. At that time they sold all surplus; furnishings and went into small rooms, | and from the proceeds of the sale were | enabled to pay by pro rata distribution half the amount owed to creditors vear later a second payment was o in the same manner, a part of the money having been Taised by giving dances and suppers, and the rest by | popular subscription. The funds for | this final payment were also earned by | the girls, the result of suppers, sales and whist parties for members. The club, whose officers are Miss | Annie E. McNamara, president; Miss | 8. Winifred MacAdam, treasurer; Miss | Nellie B. Crewe, secretary, plans te continue and a little later will prob- ably take up seme special line of work.
