Twenty-five or thirty gentlemen and sev eral ladies met in the parlors of the Presby terian church last evening In rcsponse to the call for a public mecting to consider the financial situation of the Young Men's Chris- tion fation of Council Bluffs. Befor the meeting was ready to adjourn others kept dropping in until the room com- fortably fill<d. W. W. Wallace was selected chalrman and Chester Lawson secretary. cretary Wright had stated the association had becn compelled to relinquish fts rooms in the Merriam block for the reason that the receipts did not begin to meet the require- ments. Scveral directors of the association spoke frankly, and candidly admitted ¢ the situation was o bad and the outlook so dark that the abandonment of the work here seemed {nevitable ass0 was Dr. Phelps nented the situation and rather thought the dircctors were tard making it knows e closing of the a clation would be a calamity that would affe the whole clty. If the proper effort made money would be available for thi grand wark, the suspension of which would be a calamity to all the churches and the city. He suggested that each of the churches call upon thes: organizations (o assist in this work by giving so much each month and each year, and ha believed that th'y would do so, and that all of the churches would unite in helping, Charles Officer said the assoclation had a debt of §1,100, and $260 would be require to meet {ts maturing obiigation between now and the Ist of January. The running ex penses amounted at present to $115 a month, which was very much less than be- fore the removal. He thought to Insure carrylng on the work for another year at least §4,000 would have to be raised, even in_the present limited quarters Secreiary Wright stated that the bership when they left the Merriam was 240, but it had rapidly declined the. ! w. 8 was mem- block since removal.

The association had paild enough in rent to pay for a building. Ottumwa and Sioux City had raised over $40,000 each for this work, and Council Bluffs was in better financial condition than almest any city in the wes It was finally decided that the best course to pursue was the appointment of a com- mittee to raise money, and on motion of Mr. Luring the chair appointed as such committee Mr. Keys, the president, Mr Wadsworth, the financial secretary, and Mr. Homer, chairman of the bullding committee. each with power to appoint two subcom- mitteemen, and all to go to work and raise the money necessary in the best manner possible.

T am prepared to recem mend that their request be granted “In the course of correspondence Brother Block on the Naples petition, 1 occasion to discuss with. nim a which, while it has not attained nence in connection with Odd Kellowship, has more or less affected other benevolent socleties Europe, and that. is the develop- ment of atheism among certain classes of the people. Odd Fellowship, while it is free from anything of a sectarian character, has always held belief in a supreme being as a cardinal principle; and has maintained the fatherhood of God as a doctrine of equal im- portance with the brotherhood of man. Con- cerning the qualities and’atiributes of the Divine Father, it has mever undertaken to pronounce with authority nor does it ques- tion the moral character and good citizenship of some of those who declare that they have no belief in a supreme belng. It simply ex- ercises the right of all voluntary associations to prescribe the qualificatfons for member- ship In its own circle. ' And'it has insisted, and does still fnsist, that belief in God is nec- essary to attain or retdin a place within our ranks. “The only part of ‘British North America not hitherto occupied By us ‘is the colony of Newfoundland; but a petition was received from St. Johns, the capital of the island, a short time since and a charter granted for a with had question 0y promi- lodge. ‘The only section {hronghout our entire jurisdiction where peace and harmony does not prevail the state of Kansa The situ- atlon there will be brought to your attention and deserves your serious consideration. BRANCH ORDERS BUSY. “The order of Patrlzrchs Militant has not been idle, for some eleven new cantons have been mustered into service since last Sep- tember, The code that was adopted by the sov- erelgn grand lodge last year for the govern- ment of the Patriarchs Militant is capable of considerable improvement. The fact Is that it is only a modification of the old sys- tem, without the advantage of a competent and’ efficient staff at heaaquarters for the general management, There are only two places for the proper management of an or- Ranization of this kind. One is a centralized government, subject only to general law. The first plan was tried for several years and the sovereign ‘grand lodge concluded that it was more expensive than efficient. ““The enthusiasm which has characterized the sisterhood of Rebekah during thg past few years scems to continue unabated. At the end of 1893 there were 202,442 members in this department, of whom 108,612 were sisters. At the same rate of inerease we may assume that there are today no less tha 115,000 noble women united with us in benevo- lent work. The laws governing this branch require a careful revision; while the wishes of the sisters themselves, especially con- versant as they are with the work, should recelve from us the most careful considera- tion. While our sisters of Rebekah have sisted all branches of the benevolent work of 0dd Fellowsh they have rendered us special ald in establishing and supporting homes and orphanages. And in no depart- ment of our work has there been so decided progress as in making provision for the aged member and orphaned children. 1 have had the pleasure of inspecting an orphanage in Lincoln, 111, where some elghty children are under the guardianship of our brethren in that jurisdiction, in an institution complete with every appliance requisite for the pur- pose. New York hes provided an additional home which it was permitted to formally open only & few days ago. Peonsylvania, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Kansas, Texas and Wisconsin have excellent homes for the aged and for the orphans in active operation, while many other jurisdictions are accumu- lating funds and preparing buildings for this laudable work. “The work of the grand sire's office has this year been nearly doubled by the extra labor involved in the change of government of the Patriarchs Militant and for its proper performance the whole-line of your execu tive officers should haye been given to the order, “And, now, officers and representatives, the time draws near for me.te return to you the trust which two years ago you entrusted to me. 1 shall soon surrender executive control to an able and experienced, brother. But the great work our arder strjves to accomplish rests with you and .youp brethren in the several jurisdictions. ; To.you Is entrusted the leadership of the jmovement that shall hasten the establishment of the Altrurian age —the age of which poets have dreamed, for which philanthropists haye hoped, but which | 04d Fellowship has made possible.

The matter is being discussed, and It Is generally conceded that Washington will be the lucky city. No repits were made by grand officers today IRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT. The annual repurt of Theodore A. Ross grand sccretary and adjutant general of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, was made public today. Mr. Ross says the business de- pression throughout the country has retarded the growth of the order. He says because the great depression of business in channel it was g Iy expected that the outcome would be worse, and, instead of a net gain, as in 1863, a loss of the order would be recorded. The financial statement shows that $101,000 has been appropriated and $75,283 expended during the year. The grand treasurer has $33,251 cash on hand, $30,000 of railroad bonds, and other items, making the total assets of the soverelgn grand lodge $107,721. The secretary directs attention to the fact that the “color” question has arisen in the Hawalian island lodges. The consti- tution of the Odd Fellows limits member- ship to “free white males.” Grand Sire Fisher reports from the - wich iztands: “We have members in our lodges who are married (o three-quarters whites and their children are seven-eighths white. They are just as fair as anybody born in the states, are American citizens and be long to our secret organization, and when they return to their mother's native country they are not permitted to join the order. 1 infustic g AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA. consider it a great Councllmun Wood Resigos His Memborship In the Aldermanie Body.
