Cerely thank you for your unbcunded hos

deeds, and for this fraternal welcome, all
of which will be TO US a pleasant memory.

the teachings of our order above Us in joy
and sorrow our star has Shone forth, re-
Veailng to us loving messages of constancy,
faith and love. If in our daily lives our
acts and the words of our mouths have
been in unison with our sacred obligations,
then may we truly say, as we come here
today, We have seen His star in the east
end all of US realize thai we who wear the
star really possess what it denotes. AS
we gaze with pride and admira len upon
your beautiful city the future queen city
of the world. the iawmaking city of our
nation, which reveals the grandeur of the
American p2ople. ntuitively we recall traits
OF its early history with which is linked the
name of one who in early times was, and
at all times will be- first in the hearts of
his countrymen.'
