Excerpt from Odd Fellows Monitor and Guide: Containing History of the Degree of Rebekah, and Its Teachings, Emblems of the Order, According to Classification of Sovereign Grand Lodge, and Teachings of Ritual, as Understood by Obligated Odd Fellows, and Their Wives, Daughters and Sisters
The success which my first volume, the Brotherhood, issued about fifteen years ago, has met, and the high encomiums passed upon it by my brethren of high rank in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of America, as well as its extensive circulation, have induced me to send forth this volume, which I entitle the Monitor and Guide, and in which I give the emblems of the Order according to the present classification, and a more exten sive presentation of the lessons the emblems are intended to teach to Odd Fellows and their wives.
