Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Floor Work for Degree Lodges of the Daughters of Rebekah: As Authorized by the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
Efficient staff work is the best possible manner of illustrating the principles of the Order. The teach ings of our brotherhood are of the most sublime char acter, and upon the introduction of a candidate, every thing should be done to impress him with the grandeur and beauty of these principles.
Therefore, the officers should be dignified, manly, and earnest remembering that first impressions are strongest and will probably cling to the candidate through life; so if they believe what they teach, let their actions, as well as instructions, prove that they are earnest, and honest. And if they do not so be lieve, and cannot so teach, then they have no right to a place in a degree staff.
Never attempt a joke of any kind upon a candidate; it will probably lower the Order in his estimation, and will do more than anything else to impair, if not de stroy, his value as a member.
