two Homes, and of every brother and sister upon whom has devolved
any duty, or upon whom I have called for assistance. I have found it
necessary to appoint a very large number of Special Deputies. AH
these have also responded and faithfully served the Order in the work
assigned. My relations with the Grand Officers and Special Deputies
have been of a most cordial character, and from these have sprung up
close personal friendships which I expect to continue through life.
Wherever I have gone, I have been cordially received and royally
entertained. I have found the Lodges, whether large or small, active,
enthusiastic units of a great fraternal Order, which is strong as the
Rock of Gibraltar, as firmly established as the Rock of Ages, and is
striving for the amelioration of our race and the elevation of human
character.
I cannot refrain from making personal mention of the Swedish
brethren. Three Links, John Ericsson, First Scandinavian, and Swed-
ish Olive Lodges are shining monuments to the devotion which our
Swedish brethren entertain for our Order,
It would be impossible to acknowledge my gratitude by making
personal mention of each brother and sister to whom I am indebted.
But I cannot close this report without acknowledging my gratitude to
Grand Sire Conway, who has always assisted me with his valuable ad-
vice, and who honored me as one of his companions on the occasion of
his official visits to the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and the Grand Lodge
of Indiana. I desire to express my appreciation for the assistance
ov^^g'igo? [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLTXOIS^ I.O.O.F. 97
which has been rendered me by sister Lillie E. Stewart, the President
of the Rebekah Assembly, to Brother John H. Sikes, the Grand Secre-
tary, and to Brother Thomas B. Needles, the Grand Treasurer. During
our late little financial flurry it seemed as though the banks would not
permit us to have sufficient funds to pay the expenses of the Session.
This faithful guardian of our funds got busy, and I do not believe he
stopped or slept until the necessary funds had been secured. Of the
numerous Special Deputies who have assisted me I desire to make
personal mention of Brother J. A. Lopp, Grand Conductor; Brother
H. G. Cormick, and Brother J. Johansen, who have amicably and
successfully settled some very troublesome questions of Lodge juris-
diction,
I trust that the deliberations of the coming session will be as pleas-
ant as the work has been during the year, and that the brethren will
give my successor the cordial and earnest support that they have ex-
tended to me.
And now, as I surrender this trust to another, I do it with a con-
sciousness that whatever of good has been accomplished has been ac-
complished more largely through the assistance which has been ren-
dered by others than by any ability of my own, and with a conscious-
ness that whatever of errors may have been committed, have been
errors of judgment and not errors of the heart.
Fraternally submitted.

To Fred B. Merrills, Grand Master of Grand Lodge of Illinois:
The Board of Directors of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home, in
obedience to the requirements of the Grand Lodge, present this, their
Fifteenth Annual Report, for the year ending October 1, 1907.
Another year has rolled around, and we are called upon to render
a report of our Stewardship over the Home we love so well, and that
stands so close to the great warm heart of Odd Fellowship in this
jurisdiction.
As we record the success of the year that has just passed, and give
expression to our hopes for the prosperity of our Home during years
to come, may the backward glance, which reveals naught but pleasant
recollections and associations, be but a forerunner of what the future
has in store for this greatest of charities, the care and education of the
orphans of our deceased brothers.
Our associations during the past year with the Superintendent,
Dr. J. A. Lucas, and the Matron, Mrs. J. A. Lucas, have indeed been
most pleasant; being cordially greeted upon our arrival at the Home,
and as cordially welcomed back again.
In the midst of our pleasantnesses, we would not be unmindful of
the fact that since our last report death has visited the home circle
of the Superintendent, claiming as its victim the aged father, who
was laid to rest August 20, 1907, to await the call of the Grand Lodge
above.
The Board extends to the Superintendent their sincere sympathy.
The Board has no secrets to reveal; all business pertaining to the
Home has become a matter of record, and may be seen at any time by
any member of the Grand Lodge, by calling at the office of the Super-
intendent.

How to Gain Admittance.
Lodges or guardians wishing to place in the Home children who
are eligible to its benefits, should apply to the Superintendent, Dr. J. A.
Lucas, at Lincoln, Illinois, for a blank form of application, this to be
filled and signed by the guardian and the Lodge, (under seal) of
which the father was a member at the time of his death. The appli-
cation should be returned to the Superintendent, who will present it
to the Board of Directors for consideration at their first meeting there-
after.
All applications coming before the Board are carefully considered
as eligibility and individual merits demand.
Iv^^q^^QfiT \ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 103
Nov. 19,1907. f
Lodges or guardians are expected to provide children with at least
one change of clothing before sending them to the Home.
School, Musio and Commencement.
The work of the year has been very satisfactory. Fifteen of our
boys and girls finished our course of study and were graduated. The
course has been very much strengthened by adding music as a part of
the course. The work of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades will
be more thorough than ever.
Grand Master Fred B. Merrills delivered the class address, which
was a most able effort and was well received by the large audience
as well as the class. The Grand Master presented the diplomas. Then
the Grand Secretary made one of his characteristic addresses which
greatly pleased the people. Brother E. R. Sayler gave some good ad-
vice to the graduates. The assembly hall was crowded.
The teachers for the year are: Miss Edna Snyder, Miss Flora
Sheets, Miss Nina E. Petrie and Miss Huldah Peters.
Domestic Science.
The work has taken tangible shape. The committee appointed by
the last assembly have been active and with the hearty co-operation
of the Board and Superintendent have started the work. Rooms were
secured temporarily in the East Cottage. While the work will be con-
siderably crowded for lack of proper space, yet, under the able instruc-
tion of Miss Adele Ritter, of Mattoon, we hope to do much good for
the girls. Miss Ritter is a graduate of Oread Domestic Science School,
Worcester, Massachusetts.
Manual Training.
This branch of the work has not yet been launched. We have no
building that can be utilized at all. Yet if we would give our boys a
chance, such as they should have, this department of the Home should
be started at once. While it will take some money, in the end it will
pay for itself over and over again in the development of manhood and
successful men. In fact. It appeals to us that there is no other way
whereby we can do so much for our boys.
Religious and Moral Training.
Each child is given church preference. We have our own Sun-
day school where all of the children attend in the afternoon during
the school year. And it is the aim of the Home to develop in the
104 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. ) Nov^^^g^loOT
children a personality all their own. They are taught that right is
might and that character is worth all else.
The Health of the Home.
Last winter we were sorely afflicted with diphtheria. There were
many cases but not one of the dear ones was taken from us. Good
nursing, a good physician and the kindness of Providence all together
contributed to our aid and we were delivered from the dangerous con-
tagion without any bad sequels. The disease was brought to the
Home by one of the children from Springfield. Since that time we have
been in the most happy condition as to the health of the Home, and
at this writing every one is well.
Repairs and Additions.
Many have been the repairs needed and done. The Board have
ordered a steel fire escape. For this they have received many just com-
pliments. For years it has been needed.
A new implement shed 20x64 feet has been built out of the lumber
from the old barn at a minimum of expense. Some new material was
required for roofing and painting. Now the implements of the farm are
well housed which should always be the case on every farm.
The Band.
For four years the band has been under the leadership of Master
Harry Scott. But he has now gone to give way to another most worthy
and capable leader, Wilfred Jaynes. And without taking any glory
away from any former leader, our excellent instructor. Prof. Geo. D.
Barnard, says: "the band never played better." We hope to make this
part of the Home meritorious and give to the Odd Fellows of the State
of Illinois the best boys' band in the country. As often as consistent
with the work of the Home the band will respond to calls in the interest
of our great Order.
Lawn iVIower.
A new lawn mower was added to our stock of implements. It
enables us to keep the lawn in much better condition as its power is
a horse.
Insurance.
The buildings and contents are properly insured in the best com-
panies with the approval of the finance committee.
