The celebration of the eighty-fifth
anniversary of the founding of Odd
Fellowship in this country was observ-
l‘ti last evening by the members of But-
ler Lodge, No. 07. t, O. 0. iii. of this
city. and Our Brotlters' Lodge. No.10.
of Norwalk. The planting of two
white. oak trees.‘one on The Green In
Norwalk, and the other in the Cedar
street park, in South Norwalk. form~
ed the events of the celebration.
Wheeler and Wilson's Band. of
Bridgeport, was at the rooms of But-
ler Lodge in Washington street. where
the members gathered to begin their
march to Norwalk. They were led by
the hand as they marched up West
avenue. In Norwalk they were met
by the members of Our Brothers' Lodge
and the whole body of men. about 450
in number, marched to The Green.
where the ceremony of planting the
oak was performed.
Because of the rain, the ceremonies
here were very ntuclt curtailed. Des-
pite the inclemcncy of the weather.
however, there was a crowd of probe,
bly five or six hundred people. At-
torney J. Belden Hurlbtttt made a
brief address, which was listened to
with mttch interest by all of those as-
sembled. Mr. Hurlbutt spoke ill s‘ub-
stattcc as follows:
"Eighiyvflve years ago today an or-
ganization was formed: the organiza-
tion of Odd Fellows. Few then
thought, anti few now know the bene-
fits that have accrued to this country
by reason of that. organization. and
its continued existence. The benefits
that accrue to members. are known to
the members, and certain of the benc-
ilts are known and appreciated by the
public outside; but the greatest bc Ite-
iit is one which Is unmeasured and in
capable of accurate determination. yet,
his one of such magnitude, that it
cannot but attract the attention of arty-
one giving thought to the subject. Their
duty of' visiting the sick, relieving the
distressed, burying the dead. and ed-
ucating the orphan. is but a minor part
of that great result which comes from
fraternal meetings. and the benefits of
stimulation that arise by reason of the
intercourse. .
“With nope as an anchor sheet. to
stimulate, and Charity as a guide and
guard against excess, there has grown.
and always will grow out of the asso-
ciation of (Mid Fellowship. a strength
of character in the individual. and that.
goes out to the public. That influence
is being weilded constantly. benefit-
ing thosc brought in contact. with. and
association of members, whose ideas
are stimulated. strengthened and int-
proved by their Odd Fellow relation-
ships.
"Many. who today, stand high in the
affairs of the nation. can date their
start. and the origin of their ambition
and advancement in their initiation.
and acquiring anti being governed by
the principles of Odd Fellowship. As
an illustration of this. the Represent-
ative In Congress from this Congres-
sional District. and a brother of this
Lodge. as one of Its best public oili-
rials.
“ It. is but fitting that such an organ-
ization should have selected and adopt.
ed the White Oak to commemorate its
anniversary. This tree is noted for Its
strength, for its durability. for the ma.
,icsty of its appearance. and for its
great longevity. It requires a pure
soil: contaminated and stagnant water
will destroy it, precisely the same as
the strength, the durability. and the
length of the Odd Fellowship stands
today by resort of its abhorence of the
corruption of morals.
“The condition of the elements to-
night make it unsafe to prolong these
ceremonies. and feeling that. It is well
to preserve good men. I should ter‘
minato my remarks."
Mr. Hurlbutt also was brief because
of the. rain, but as the above will show.
he brought. out a number of excel-
lent points of the order.
The ceremonies were brought to a
close by the prayer, given by the Rev.
George D. Egbert. pastor the the Nor-
walk Congregational Church.
A prayer was said and the party
started for South Norwalk. At. the
Cedar street. park. a second tree was
planted and a very eloquent address
was-made by Rev. Edward R Ben-
nett. After a prayer. the procession
went to Butler [Adge's rooms. Re-
marks were made by Principal W. C.
Foote. John Keogh, Fred H. Field.
James Farrell and Charles F. Haliock.
A supper was then served.
The committee of Butler Lodge con-
sistedof Arthur L. Benedict. chair-l
man; Clarence Brush. George N. Way

from Our Brothers' Dodge the commit.
tee was George E. Thompson. Thomas
