and promiSouous use of the grip. When you hail a
| stranger Son why then make use of the grip in
its regular place in the chain of secret procedure

or greeting an S. of '. guest or meeting brother
who has been absent for a long time on the floor o
| the Camp room, why then by all means be broth
erly and extend your hand in F.. c. and L.
But yon will agree with me that it is stupid and
insipid to use the grip when you shake with broth
ers whom you are in the habit of seeing several
times day.
So brothers, let us be on our guard and give
nothing away" We are losing the respect of our
fellow citizens and feliow-men by such frivolous
conduct as have attempted to describe and CEN
sure. am no critic, nor do hold position in the
Order which entities to criticise, bat these re-
marks are offered - for the good of the Order.'
