Evolving from the English trade guilds nearly 300 years ago, Odd Fellowship was once the largest fraternal organization in the world. During a time when the world was evolving, as new lands were still being explored and new nations were forming, as pioneers were beginning to conquer new lands, and governmental policies were in the process of being formulated, the Odd Fellows were an important part of that evolution. In fact, Odd Fellows contributed greatly to the early development of many towns, cities, states, provinces and countries.
As the early American settlers began moving westward on their covered wagons, the Odd Fellows in small towns united with one another and established lodges across the country. These lodges were able to develop a sense of community and provided help to its members during those times when governments provided little social and welfare assistance. Furthermore, lodge rituals taught the important lessons of proper decorum, civic responsibility and equality before laws could be enacted to maintain social order. Many of the early Odd Fellows were the pioneer leaders of several towns, cities, states, provinces, and nations. Eventually, membership included presidents, prime ministers, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors and notable people in their respective fields. They spoke out on issues of international, national, and local interest. As the lodges grew, they built Odd Fellows buildings in new communities and these buildings soon became social centers where people met to relax and to exchange the latest news and ideas. The Odd Fellows were the forerunners of homes for the aged and orphanages. They are also the predecessors of the Social Security System and National Health Insurance. At that time, Odd Fellows literally touched the lives of millions of people, following its tenets to "visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, and educate the orphan."
The fraternal organization has survived many wars and major world challenges. It came to America aboard a wooden sailing vessel, in the hands of Thomas Wildey, and the organization had been around to witness the building of the first railroad, the first automobile, the first movie, the first radio and television broadcasts, the first submarine, the first guided missile, the first miracle drug, the first airplane, the first space ship, the first computer, and the introduction of the internet. Odd Fellowship was the social network for many people long before the Internet was born. It served communities long before the birth of other service clubs and modern charitable foundations. It had connected and promoted understanding between people from different nationalities before the United Nations was established, and it even partnered with the United Nations for many years to educate young students in world affairs. Odd Fellowship rose to its most glorious time when members actively participated, and in many occasions led, in the development of communities and nations. People recognized the value of Odd Fellowship, and they reciprocated by becoming members of a Fraternity with the prime objective "Improving Character, Making Friends, and Helping People."

Описание: This illustrated book aims to provide the reader a brief history of the Encampment, along with an introduction to its degrees, symbols, teachings and regalia; also covering the organizational structure and functions of the officers of the Encampment and the Grand Encampment. The Encampment, also known as Patriarchal Odd Fellowship, is a higher branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows that confers three additional degrees to Degree of Truth or Third Degree members in good standing: Patriarchal Degree, Golden Rule Degree and Royal Purple Degree. The degree work in this branch is a result of evolution from additional degrees that were once conferred only to Past Grands (past presiding officers) of an Odd Fellows Lodge and only during sessions of Grand Lodges. In 1827, these three additional degrees were eventually bestowed in a separate branch called an Encampment. The degrees are based on the lessons of Hospitality, Toleration and Fortitude. The motto is Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Описание: Life is short-lived and is a spiritual energy that allows a person to encounter a mystical experience about what life has to offer and may bring in future. Life is a journey with divine mysteries and has a beginning and an end. It only rests in the body temporarily but after a certain time, it will return to where it belongs. Life is precious than gold; it is a free gift from our Heavenly Father that will uphold our future. Dig and find the value and worth of life and you will find the greatest treasure that no one can ever take away from you. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)
