The Jericho Road by W. Bion Adkins
"The Jericho Road" by W. Bion Adkins is a treatise on Odd-Fellowship and its foundational principles, written at the turn of the 20th century. This work serves as a guide for members of the Independent Order of Odd-Fellows, emphasizing the organization's mission of mutual aid, charity, and personal development. Through a series of reflections and teachings, Adkins seeks to inspire its members towards greater virtues of brotherhood, love, and truth. At the
start of "The Jericho Road," the reader is introduced to the philosophical frameworks that underpin Odd-Fellowship. Adkins illustrates the importance of support and community, recounting the parable of the Good Samaritan to emphasize compassion towards the suffering. He elaborates on the historical roots of the Odd-Fellows, highlighting their growth and the philosophical ethos behind their charitable work. The opening sets a tone of earnestness and dedication, encouraging readers to cultivate moral character and community spirit, serving as both a reflection on their past and a call to action for a future guided by the values of unity and kindness.
