Excerpt from The Cyclopędia of Fraternities

More than members are annually added to the rolls Of Masonic Lodges, in the United States; quite as many join the Odd Fellows, and one-half as many the Knights of Pythias; more than join other secret societies, the lodges, chapters, or councils of which dot the country almost coincidently with the erection of churches and schoolhouses.
