Historian Upholds Odd Fellowship as Moral Agency
Jacob Goldman of South Bend defines Odd Fellowship as a great moral agency in a series for the Indiana IL. O. O. F. Bulletin. He traces the object as freeing action from base passions and forging humane, affectionate relations among men through mutual brotherhood. The Loyal Aristarcus lodge No. 9 in London guides ritual with four degrees and annual festivals on St James, St David, St John, and St Michael days, with fines for absence.
