enunciation of the principles Of our
order. Men need that deeper sense of
the sacredness of human life which

hood of God and the brotherhood
of man. BY this sense alone may be
dissipated all the spirit of discomfort,
the differences separating man and
threatening our peace. To his boat
man overcome by fear in q violent
storm, the great Caesar once said:
why do you fear? You carry Casar.'
Thus my own fears a. your grand N as

question, Why do you fear? Those
