Page 1 of5 CONSPIRACY OF HATE: A Christian Perspective on the un-Christian Tactics ofthe anti-Masons © 1995 Anthony W. Harper CHAPTER 5 FRATERNAL GROUPS IN AMERICAN HISTORY While Freemasonry is credited with beingthe oldest known fraternal organizationin existence, there are several other groups that have also influenced people. This chapter will give you a brief outline of some ofthe major Fraternal groups which have been in existence at one time or another here, in America. I will not be able to list every group that ever was, but I hope the ones listed will be familiar to many ofyou, and ofinterest to all. The Fraternal Organization, from the Volunteer Fire Company, to HistoricalSocieties. From College Fraternities and Sororities, to Workers Unions. Americans from all walks oflife have enjoyed the association, prestige and ofcourse, the comradeship whichcan only be found by beinga memberin a Fraternity. Beginning in the 1730's, after the opening ofMasonic Lodges in Boston and Philadelphia, dozens of Fraternalgroups have sprung up. Some groups are European in descent, whilethe majority are truly American. Nearlyall ofthese groups have patterned themselves after Freemasonry, the use of"secret" passwords, handshakes, costumes, etc. There is a Fraternityfor nearlyevery member ofsociety, whether political, labor, patriotic, or for personal improvement. To the Uninitiated, or jaded, the grandiose titles and costumes may seem childish, and could have been eliminated. But, that is part ofwhat makes each group special in its own way. Freemasonry, long believed to be the oldest organized Fraternity, came to America, from England, in the 1700's. The ideals ofequality, free thought, and personal rights, was brought out ofthe Lodge, and into the streets. Manyofits members, were pivotal playersin secessionfrom England, as well as being signers ofthe Declaration ofIndependence. The late 1700's through the 1800's also marked the beginning ofa great periodofexpansion for many new Fraternal groups here, in America. Masonry in additionto remaining one ofthe most popular Fraternal organizations in America, had many ofits members who were also instrumental in the founding ofseveral other Fraternal groups. I would like to provide you with some information as contained in the World Almanac, circa 1896, concerning the membership ofthe principal fraternal organizations in the United States, at that time.

When Thomas Wildey, and some othermembers relocated to America, they organized the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The first Lodge was set upinBaltimore, Maryland in 1819. The main symbols are 3 chain links, representing friendship, love and truth. Bythe end ofthe 1800's, the membership ofoddfellows rivaled, if not outnumbered, the number ofMasons. In 1797, the Grand Chanter of Roval Arch Masons in America finds its beginnings. While the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite in America finds its official start in 1801, and the Northern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite was started a few years later, in 1813. The Grand Encampment ofthe Knights Templar was founded in the year 1816. f http://conspiracy_of_hate.tripod.com/chapter3.htmI 07/22/2000 www.Conspiracy.Of.Hate.com - Anthony Harper - Chapter 4 - Fraternal Groups inAmeric.. Page3 of 5 In 1827, the first labor-related fi-atemity was organized. The Mechanics Trade Association of Philadelphia, which included in its stylings many "secret" handshakes, passwords, etc. The AncientOrder ofForesters, whichbased its ceremonies and costumes on the legendsofRobin Hood, was founded in 1832. The Improved Order ofRed Men, founded in 1834, drew its inspiration firom stories ofheroic deeds found in many Native American Legends. The mid-1800's also marked the first ofmanymajor waves ofimmigrants fi"om Europe, and Fraternities were started in response to the needs ofthese people. The AncientOrder of Hibernians in America, founded in 1836, was devoted to payingreliefand death benefits, the advancement ofthe Roman CatholicReligion, and promotion ofIrish Pride. In 1840, the Sons ofHermann was founded, and in 1847, the German Order ofHarugari was founded. Both ofthese groups were started in response to the prejudicedirected against German Immigrants. The year of 1842marks the beginning ofmanytemperance-based fraternities, with the openingofthe Independent Order ofRechabites, originallyfrom England. The Sons ofTemperance were also founded in this same year, as an off-shoot ofthe I.O.R., and included many similar "secret" passwords, handshakes, etc. Fraternal Organizations played an important role among the Jewish immigrants also. In 1843, B'nai B'rith was founded, as was the Free Sons ofIsrael, in 1846. These organizations provided a way for Jews, ofvarious nationalities and sects, to help each other and to also maintain their Jewishidentity. The issue ofWomens' Rights also came into the Fraternal Societies. In 1846 the United Order ofTrue Sisters was founded. As such, it became the first Fraternal and Philanthropic Womens' Organization in the United States. The temperance based Fraternities continued to grow in popularity, in 1846 the Templars ofHonor and Temperance was founded. The abstinence from alcoholic beverages was not only taught to be a good Christian attribute, but that total abstinence was a necessity in order to make it into Heaven. The Odd Fellows founded a body within its Fraternity, for Women. In 1851, the Daughters of Rebekah finds its start. The Masons followed this idea and formed several groups which promoted the membership to women. In 1857, the Order ofthe Eastern Star was founded, which based its teachings on various parts ofthe Old and New Testament. In 1873, the Order ofthe Amaranth was started, and in 1884, the White Shrine ofJerusalem was founded. Both ofthese groups base their lessons on the Birth, Life, Death, and Redemptive Mission ofour Savior-Jesus Christ. Prince Hall, a free black Clergyman, was one ofthe first 15 black men ever recorded to havejoined a Masonic Lodge. However, after the Grand Lodge ofMasons in Massachusetts denied him a Charter to start his own Lodge, The Grand Lodge of Masons in England granted him one. Prince Hall not only fought in the Revolutionary War, but he was one ofthe Heros at the Battle ofBunker Hill. http;//conspiracy_of_hate.tripod.com/chapter3.htnil 07/22/2000 www.Conspiracy.Of.Hate.com - Anthony Harper - Chapter 4 - Fraternal Groupsin Americ.. Page 4 of 5 In 1856, the Households of Ruth was formed to servethe blackWomen of the community. The lessons and ritual were based on the Biblical stories ofRuth and Naomi. A Sailor, by the name ofPeter Ogden, joinedthe Oddfellows, while in England. However, upon arriving inAmerica, the Oddfellow Lodges here did not allow him the opportunity to form his own Lodge. Why?, because of hisAfrican Heritage. So upon a returntrip to England, the Supreme Lodge ofOdd-fellows in England issuedhim a Charter to start a Lodge in America. In 1858, the Order ofthe Patrons of Husbandry, commonly called "The Grange" was founded. This was a Fraternal Organization based on promoting agriculture and benefitsto the farmer. Around 1860, the Knights of Pvthias finds its start. Above and beyond the fellowship most groups offered, the Knights ofPythias also started an insurance benefit, for its members... The Concatenated Orderof Hoo-Hoo is perhaps the oldestIndustrial Fraternal Organisation in existence, having beenorganised in January 1892. The membership consists primarily of people whose interests arethe welfare andpromotion of the lumber industry. It includes people from forestry, sawmilling, research, education, manufacturing and marketing ofallwood-based products; officersof timber associations and suppliers to the lumber industry - in fact all who derive their main livelihood from the industry, and are least 21 years old, ofgood moral character and engaged in the lumber industry.

  • Phi Beta Delta and Rituals' Rewards
    International Research and Review, Journal of Phi Beta Delta Honor Society Volume 9, Number 1, Fall 2019 for International Scholars Editor's Note: The following article is reprinted (with updated format and editing) from the archives of the Phi Beta Delta International Review, Volume VII, Spring 1998, pp. 75-86. The International Review is the predecessor of the current publication. It is re-printed here to provide international educators with an historical view of scholarship on honor societies. Phi Beta Delta and Rituals’ Rewards Guillermo De Los Reyes University of Houston Paul Rich Policy Studies Organization The growth of Phi Beta Delta cannot be attributed to any one cause. World interest in globalization and in cultural and education exchanges, along with the happy coincidence of a number of enthusiastic leaders, is certainly part of the explanation. However, it was the decision that it should be a Greek honorary society with the accompanying rituals of the Greek tradition which was a fateful for its success.1 Injunctions to chapters to have a meaningful induction ceremony take on more weight when Phi Beta Delta is put into historic perspective as an organization with ritual - not an enormous amount, but then, like garlic, a little goes a long way. Although Greek academic societies are not nearly as concerned with ritual as are other ritualistic organizations such as, the Freemans, the Shriners, or the DeMolay, their success owes something to the medals, mottos and shields. What would Phi Beta Kappa be without its key? Organizations with ritual often fare better than those without. It is an unpleasant corollary, but makes the point, to recall that the segregationist White Citizens’ Councils members with their business suits never achieved the success of the Ku Klux Klan with its hoods and flowing robes.

  • Masonic and Odd Fellows Halls (Left) on Main Street, Southwest Harbor, C
    Masonic and Odd Fellows Halls (left) on Main Street, Southwest Harbor, c. 1911 Knights ofPythias Hall, West Tremont Eden Parish Hall in Salisbury Cove, which may have been a Grange Hall 36 Fraternal Organizations on Mount Desert Island William J. Skocpol The pictures at the left are examples of halls that once served as centers of associational life for various communities on Mount Desert Island. Although built by private organizations, they could also be used for town meetings or other civic events. This article surveys four differ­ ent types of organizations on Mount Desert Island that built such halls - the Masons, Odd Fellows, Grange, and Knights of Pythias - plus one, the Independent Order of Good Templars, that didn't. The Ancient Free & Accepted Masons The Masons were the first, and highest status, of the "secret societies" present in Colonial America. The medieval guilds of masons, such as those who built the great cathedrals, were organized around a functional craft but also sometimes had "Accepted" members who shared their ide­ als and perhaps contributed to their wealth. As the functional work de­ clined, a few clusters of ''Accepted" masons carried on the organization. From these sprang hundreds of lodges throughout the British Isles, well documented by the early 1700s. The first lodge in Massachusetts (of which Maine was then a part) was founded at Boston in 1733, and the ensuing Provincial Grand Lodge chartered the Falmouth Lodge in 1769. Another Grand Lodge in Boston with roots in Scotland chartered the second Maine Lodge, War­ ren Lodge in Machias, in 1778. Its charter was signed by Paul Revere.

  • Symbolic Expressions of the Masons and Odd Fellows from the American Folk Art Museum
    Mysteryand Benevolence Symbolic Expressions of the Masons and Odd Fellows from the American Folk Art Museum TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE Mysteryand Benevolence Masonic and Odd Fellows Folk Art The enigmatic objects on view assume a profound and affecting sincerity, even as their highly charged imagery fascinates, puzzles, and compels. ystical, evocative, and sometimes simply strange, the art of M fraternal practice is rich in symbols that are oddly familiar yet strikingly uncommon. Through arcane and alluring artifacts, Mystery and Benevolence brings to light the histories of the Freemasons and the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, two fraternal secret societies with deep roots in American history. The almost two hundred carvings, textiles, sculptures, and adornments that constitute this exhibition were used from the late eighteenth through mid-twentieth centuries, and retain their clandestine allure to this day. Whether regarded as “secret societies” or “societies with secrets,” American fraternal groups arouse endless curiosity about their ceremonies, ritualized performances, and recitations. These practices, many borrowed and adapted from ancient Egypt and biblical Christianity, are kept hidden from outsiders, and lend an aura of exclusivity and brotherhood to its members. The “mystery and privilege” of these brotherhoods are also transmitted through secret systems of hand grips, gestures, and passwords that are thought to originate in the Middle Ages. Cryptic symbols, hieroglyphs, rituals, and vows of secrecy cloak fraternal orders

  • Jewish Fraternal Organizations of the Early 20Th Century Hal Bookbinder ([email protected])
    Jewish Fraternal Organizations of the early 20th Century Hal Bookbinder ([email protected]) Our ancestors created a wide variety of organizations to provide mutual support, from religious to social, educational, insurance and burial services. “Landsmanshaften” brought together individuals who came from the same town in Europe. Sometimes established as lodges of a fraternal organization, like the Independent Order, Sons of Jacob. These organizations paralleled existing American ones incorporating the pomp and secrecy of Masonry, Pythians and Odd Fellows. These organizations provided a safety net through life and health insurance and offered social opportunities to lead and to be recognized. Hundreds of thousands of our immigrant ancestors participated during the heyday of these organizations in the first half of the 20th century. Most were male-focused. Women participated through auxiliaries and occasionally fully independent orders. Understanding these organizations provides important insights into the lives of our immigrant ancestors. Over a score of major Jewish Fraternal Organizations were formed between 1840 and 1920, including American Star Order Independent Order Western Star Improved Order of B’nai B’rith (now, B'nai Independent Order, B’nai B’rith B'rith International) Independent Workmen’s Circle of America Independent Order Ahavas Israel Jewish National Workers’ Alliance of America Independent Order B’rith Abraham Kesher Shel Barzel Independent Order B’rith Sholom Order of B’rith Abraham Independent Order Free Sons of Israel Order of the Sons of Zion (now, “B’nai Zion”) Independent Order of American Israelites Order of the United Hebrew Brothers Independent Order of Free Sons of Judah Progressive Order of the West Independent Order of Sons of Abraham United Order of the True Sisters, Inc.

  • Moral Obligations of Odd Fellows?
    Independent Order of Odd Fellows Dedicated Members for Change November 8, 2014 Dear Dedicated Members for Change, Time to dip into our "philosophy bag". Brother Louie Sarmiento has submitted a well- researched article on the underpinnings of Odd Fellowship. St bottom, it asks the most basic question: "Why am I an Odd Fellows?" I submit that you can't be in a position to bring in new members to a Lodge unless you are solidly grounded in the reasons you joined and the reasons you remain an Odd Fellow. Further, Lodges have suffered due to the failure by some members to adhere to most basic principles of friendship, love and truth. In those Lodges, discord and disagreement is prevalent. It's pretty hard to bring new members into a Lodge which is striven by dissension. The article is lengthy, but thought-provoking. F - L - T Dave Rosenberg Deputy Grand Master ****************************************************************************** MORAL OBLIGATIONS OF ODD FELLOWS? Greetings! Another issue commonly observed among Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in North America is attitude (stripped away of the moral purposes of our Order). These are bickering and back- biting among members which has severed relationships among members as well as discouraged new members from staying or being involved with the Order. Having new members observe or witness this inner fighting and organizational politics within the Order gives Odd Fellowship a bad image to newer members as well as non-members who hear some of our members saying bad things about other members of our Order. If we read the roots of our Order, our purposes are not only brotherhood and charity but also "improving and elevating the character of mankind".
