1--WE politely ask the world to-day
to watch what we are doing and to
judge us by our work Is 1T not
work commendable in the sight of man
and God to care for the sick, relieve the
distressed, bury the dead and to edu-
cate the orphans? Is it not noble
work for him who was made in the i'm
age of His maker, to be loyal to his
country, grateful to his creator and
fraternal to his fellow man? Thus we
shall have our part in bringing in that
blessed period of promise when one law
shall bind all nations, tongues and kim
dred of the earth, and that law shall be
the law of universal brotherhood. 1t is
fitting that we should add stone to
stone in this great temple, which was
founded by Widey, the father of Odd
Fellowship on this continent. 1t is
solemn duty that we perform when we
observe memorial day in honor to the
memory of our departed brothers and
