The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, as known in this country, is not very old. It came into existence by self institution in the City of Baltimore, State of Mary- land, on the 26th day of April, 1819, by five men who had formerly been initiated into the Order of Odd Fel- lows in England. It is not very clear whether the five had all been initiated into the same Order or not. Near- ly all Lodges in England in these early times had to '_ make and use their own forms and ceremonies, as no general organization or federal head had assumed the controll of such matters, but the five men who had met _ for the purpose of forming themselves into the first lodge was not very scrupulous about forms; the spirit of the Order, which has been its great moving power ever since, was the incentive which controlled them in their great purpose. Thomas Wildey, John Welch, John Duncan, John Cheatham and Richard Rushworth, were _ the five men who laid the foundation and made possible the grand results which Have been attained. Up to 1830 _ the order was so small that its benevolent work was not _ systematically kept, but since that time it has been scru- _ pulously guarded so that now the Order is looked to for - much valuable information. statistically, ‘both for life insurance and health statistics. The following was the status and work for one year of the Order prior to Jan- -uary Ist, 1894, in the United States and Canada: CrandsLodges..:ip— ae ols (Ro RRR eae 55 Grated: Encampmentsics. centennial 50 Subordinate Lodges ee some, ane 10,295 ~ Subordinate Encampmiegts 0-4 22s ce ie 2,557 Rebekah Lodges :c2e geal. t ue metas 3,292 Lodge Initiations:.': sue cr snc ye eee 72,807 Encampment Initiations ® oon = a. 6.

Do not forget that local law, however unwise it maybe, supersedes parliamentary rules, but in the absence of such law, established customs govern. Do not forget that the greatest minds on earth regard inflexible rules ~ as necessary to secure well defined action in deliberative assemblies. Do not permit thoughtless advocates of loose methods to ridicule you out of a demand that busi-’ ness be transacted according to parliamentary forms. Do ‘not make yourself appear ridiculous by saying something out of place, viz.: do not say support when you mean second, or accept when. you mean adopt, — or receive when you mean concur, or move to rescind a fine when you mean remit. Do not confuse lay on. the table with postpone. Do not forget that you may have forgotten something and always ‘‘think before you. speak,” Do not forget that calls for the queston, no matter how loud, does not compel the chair to take the vote. Do not forget that there are many mén of many minds, and if they cannot see it as you do, may be youare wrong and not they. we a S Ss 113 —~ PARLIAMENTARY POINTS. - INTRODUCTION OF BUSINESS.—Business must be pre- sented either by report, resolution, communica- tion, or motion. Reports, resolutions, and commu- nications are always written. Motions are reduced to writing by the request of a member. Reports, resolutions, and communications. are received with- out a motion to receive, unless objection is raised, when it becomes necessary to move to receive. When a report or communication is presented, the presiding officer asks: ‘‘What will you do with it?” This opens the way for a motion disposing of it. A resolution or motion is before the assembly as soon as read, or made and seconded, unless some fixed rule disposes of it, and the presiding officer states the question ?? Bas oeine «on the adoption of the) i... 2.00... “Are you ready for the question ?” PRINCIPAL: MoTIon.—Must give way to everything _exeept another principal motion. It is not before the lodge or meeting until seconded or’ “stated by the presiding officer. If required, must be made in writing. Should be stated by the Chair in the original language. Chair may suggest to the mover any modification or addition before stating. Can be withdrawn by unanimous consent. DIVISION OF A QUESTION.—When the language will permit any question may be divided and a separate vote taken on each section. A division of the question may be had by consent, but if objected to, a majority of votes 114 requires it. On the division of a question it is subject to — everything, except cannot be included with motion to adopt, or combined with anything else. DEBATE.—A member desiring to speak must rise and address the presiding officer by title of office, waiting until recognized by that officer before commencing to _ speak. He must confine his remarks to that which has a bear- ing upon the subject under consideration, using decorous language. The mover of a question is first entitled to be heard, though some other may have risen to speak. The chairman of a committe is entitled to close the debate on his committee’s report, even after the previous question has been ordered. A member may vote against his own motion, but can not speak against it. : To Stop DEBATE.—The Chair has no power to stop debate by rising to put the question, unless every mem- ber has had an opportunity to be heard. The following motions close debate while pending: Previous question, lay on the table, or to adjourn. An order closing debate at a certain time being adopted, closes it at that time. A motion limiting time which any member may speak is in order, or the number of times he may speak (not more than twice in the Grand Lodge). A motion to close or limit debate is not debatable, and should require a two-thirds vote to adopt. COMMITTEES AND REPORTS.—Committees, unless oth- erwise ordered, are appointed by the presiding officer. They must follow instructions. The person first named is temporary chairman. Reports, except of progress, should be written and signed. 115 It is received by general consent, without a motion to accept. It becomes the property of the Body, and is subject to its rules, or may be disposed of by motion to adopt, re- ject, lay on the table, postpone, or re-commit. Such motion becomes principal motion, and is subject to everything it otherwise would be. The acceptance of a committee’s final report dis- _ charges the committee, but a re-commitment re-appoints it. | When a majority and a minority report is made, the majority report must lay on the table until the minority report has been read. A motion to adopt the majority report is first in order. The minority report may be substituted for the majority by a motion made and adopted. Report of a committee may be considered in sections, if the form will admit, but the sections adopted must be atterwards voted upon as a whole. A matter referred to any committee may be recalled at any time. A motion to recall, ranks as a motion to reconsider, and is subject to the same rules. - QUESTIONS OF PRIVILEGE.——A question of privilege. may be raised while a member is speaking. It requires no second, and is decided by the chair. An appeal from the chair’s decision is allowed. It is not debatable unless the chair invites discussion. It is subject to lay on the table previous question, post- ponement or commitment. It is considered a personal matter. TO SUSPEND A RULE.—Requires a two-third vote. Is generally considered an agreement between the member- ship. It is not debatable and cannot be laid on the table, 116 postponed, committed, reconsidered or amended. Does — not set aside or repeal a law. PREVIOUS QUESTION.—Is more a proposition to stop ea debate on a subject under consideration. Its adoption or rejection does not adopt or reject the Cea motion or matter under consideration. | ‘ When there is no rule governing a call for the pre- vious question it requires two-thirds to adopt. ‘ It apples to all debatable questions. A member may offer a motion and at the same time move the previous Wh question, which, if seconded, must be put. _ If adopted, or as is usually called sustained, it pre- cludes all further amendments or discussion. : | -Ifan amendment to a’ matter is before the house, the demand for the previous question includes the original matter unless it is so stated. . When a question of privilege is before the house and the previous question is ordered its effect does not go be- ~ yond the question of privilege. The usual mode of testing a call of the revere ques- tion is: The presiding officer asks, ‘‘shall the main question be now put; all in favor of the main question be- ing now put will vote, etc.” To RECONSIDER.—A motion to reconsider is not in order while any motion or matter is before the Body. It must be made by one who voted with the prevailing side. Must be made at the same meeting, or within the time prescribed by rules. Se It is debatable if the question to be reconsidered is de- — batable, otherwise it is not. If carried it brings the matter reconsidered before the body as though no vote had been taken upon it. It cannot be applied to any matter which cannot be reversed. 117 It cannot be amended or renewed. It cannot be ap- plied to affirmative vote to it, or taken from, to adjourn, or to suspend rules. It is subject to previous question or motion to adjourn. May be postponed or laid on table which cannot be re- considered and disposes ofthe question. It requires only ‘a majority vote. Cannot be combined with, rescind or anything else. POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.—A motion to postpone in- definitely is debatable. It can only be amended by fix- ing a day certain. It may be laid upon the table or committed where - rules otherwise allow. It cannot be reconsidered. The previous question applies to a motion to postpone. If carried the subject cannot be considered again dur- ing the session (except by unanimous consent, obtained without debate). A session usually means, in the Grand Lodge, one. year. In Subordinate Lodges meeting -weekly or semi-monthly it means six or twelve months, or a term. PoSTPONE TO A GIVEN TIME.—-Cannot be reconsid- ered. May be taken up before expiration of time by a two-thirds vote. It is debatable. May beamended, only to change time. At the expiration of time it comes up as unfinished - business. May be laid on the table, and is subject to previous question. LAY ON THE TABLE.—A motion to lay on the table is not debatable. : 3 * If adopted it removes the subject until taken from the _ table by a majority vote. : It carries with it everything pertaining to the subject, a except when applied to appeals, (or when an amendment 118 to a principal motion is tabled in the Grand Lodge,) or specific rules otherwise provided. A subject laid upon the table may be taken from ee table at any time after intervening business. A motion to take from the table is not debatable. A motion to lay on the table cannot be amended, post- — poned, committed or renewed. To CommMit—RECommMir.—A motion to commit a matter may be made at any time, except after an affirm- ative vote to lay on the table the previous question or to postpone. A motion to commit or re-commit is. in order when amendments are pending . If a motion to commit is carried it removes the whole subject. A motion to commit with instructions is 1n order. A motion to commit or re-commit is subject to lay on the table the previous question, to postpone or amend. It is debatable and opens the principal question to de- bate. ; May be reconsidered, and if so it recalls the matter from the committee. To AMEND.—Amendments must be seconded. An amendment must be acted upon before the principal mo- tion. Ordinarily an amendment cannot be laid upon the ta- ble, postponed or committed without carrying the prin- — cipal motion with it, but the Grand Lodge rules provide © differently. im An amendment to the principal motion is not in order. after the previous question, to lay on the table, postpone or commit has been ordered. - Amendments that are indefinite or absurd are in or- — ° Hy der, provided they have a bearing on the subject. mi ee ee ene Ree 119 _ Amendments designed to give a negative to the prin- cipal motion, or to entirely change its meaning, are in or der. Amendments are merely propositions to strike Olt; OF insert, or both, or to add to, and their adoption or re- jection does not adopt or reject the principal motion. An amendment to an amendment isin order and-must be disposed of before the amendment to the principal motion can be considered. * An amendment to an amendment cannot be amended. To ADJOURN.—A motion to adjourn, if adopted, cuts off all business, If defeated it cannot be repeated again until after intervening business. In societies having a closing service a motion to ad- _ journ is understood to mean to proceed to close.” If the regular order of business has not beén completed, a motion to adjourn is practically to suspend a rule, and it should require two-thirds to adopt. If ad- journment is had while business is pending, except final adjournment of annual or special session, the pending business comes up as unfinished at next session. 3 A motion simply to adjourn cannot be laid on the ta- ; ‘ble, postponed, committed, amended, reconsidered or debated. Is always in order, except when the floor is oc- cupied or the chair has risen to take a vote, | ADJOURN TO A GIVEN TIME.—A motion to adjourn to e a given time is subject to everything. It is not in order if any motion is pending. A body holding annual meetings can adjourn from ) day to day, but if a longer time is desired a special session ' should he called. A body holding weekly or semi- monthly meetings cannot hold adjourned meetings. All - other than regular meetings must be called as provided by their law. | 120 A motion “‘that when we adjourn,” etc., is subject to everything. 2 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.—There are times when it is proper to go into committee of the whole, viz: In- consideration of by-laws or other matter which is not in definite shape, and it is desired to consider it informally. The proper motion to accomplish this would be: ‘I move that we go into committee of the whole for the purpose Of CONSIGETING gn eee 8 aie ere eee , and that we now take a recess for that purpose.” This motion is subject to the same conditions as a mo- — tion to commit. When carried the Chair aAanta es a chairman to pre- side. Proposition, are passed upon by general consent. The only motions are, to adopt, to amend, to rise and report, and if the report is not final, to ask leave to sit. again, giving time and place. RENEWAL OF A SUBJECT.—The subject of any an feated motion or matter may be reintroduced at any time after intervening business, but the language must be so changed as to justify the chair in entertaining it as a new proposition, otherwise the only possible way is a motion — to reconsider. ‘ An amendment that has been defeated may be intro- duced as an independent motion or resolution if the sense — will admit. The above rules cannot be applied to any matter thats has been laid upon the table, postponed or committed, nor to a motion to reconsider or to appeal. a change of language. APPEAL.—An appeal from the decision of the chair is os Re he ~.* Motion to adjourn, .to suspend rules, or take up regular a order can be renewed after intervening hasiness without _ I21I not debatable. The chair has the right to state his rea- _ sons and so has the appellant. It is subject to be postponed, laid upon the table, re- considered or to the previous question. It is not in order while another appeal is before the a It requires only a majority vote to overrule unless the rules should otherwise provide. It cannot be amend- ex: and it must receive a second. TO SUBSTITUTE.—This is a motion really to amend, and cannot be otherwise applied. It is a proposition to take a resolution or report, in whole or in part, from be- fore the house and put another in its place. Therefore it issubject to the same rules as an amendment. | FILLING BLANKS.—Reports, resolutions, bonds, etc., _ frequently require that blanks giving time or amounts be filled by the lodge or meeting. : It is proper in such cases to receive nominations cov- __-ering:amounts, times, etc., without necessarily making a = motion. Then dispose of them by voting on the largest amount or the longest time first, and continuing down until the requisite majority is reached on a proposition. ~ The proposition first receiving this majority is the sense ae of the meeting. _ STRIKE OUT AND INSERT.—Motion to strike out and insert is a form of amendment and subject to the same rules, except as hereafter noted. A motion to strike out - andinsert may be amended. But if adopted cannot af- an _ terward be amended. May be reconsidered then amen- oa ded and re-adopted. Words stricken out cannot be re- eared, unless with additional words. May be divided if each section oe a complete prop- e “osition. , | - __If divided the vote first taken is upon the proposition ee hs strike out. » P22 "i * If divided and motion to strike out {ost the motion to insert must still be voted on. | A motion to strike out certain words (A. B.) and in- sert other words (C. D.) being lost, a motion to strike out A. B. and insert different words (E. F.) is:in order, or to strike out A. B. and insert C. D. and additional words, . or, to strike out different word and insert the same words C. D. or, to strike out A. B. and insert nothing, or, ad- ditional words, is in order. . A motion to strike out certain words, X. Y. and Z., being lost, a motion to strike out X. or Y. or Z., is in order. ss ii = Weare “ Segre ast aa : ACRES A or
