purity. A gentleman who sits near me
says that the lotos is the symbol Of

Is an appropriate name for this club.
I bow to his superior wisdom, but in
China we respect the flower, not be-
cause we eat 1t, but because, IL you put
1t into water, no matter how troubled,
mud does not stick to it, and 1t comes

cause Of its history.
