NJ. II. Stevens spoke next in behalf
of the Royal Neighbors on the sub
iect. "FraternaI Builders" Mr.. Ste
vens showed how fraternity in its
general results aids i'm the building
process in which Christianity is en-
gagged. Fraternity, he characterized
as undermining influence, one
which tends to- break down class bar
riers and clears the way for super
structure of brotherly love such as
the world has never known i'm past
ages. He called attention to the fact
that fraternal societies in America
annually dispense to the sick and
those otherwise in need the sum of
S6O.OOO.OOO. Of this amount the Mod
ern Woodmen and Royal Neighbors
contribute in no small degree. the
payments of both orders being about
S13 per minute. For the material
future of the societies the future is
the brightest.
In this noble work, the speaker
said, it is particularly fitting that
woman shall take part. For ages
and ages she was denied the right to
participate i'm the broader activities
of life. and the world lost through
the limitations imposed upon her.
The opening of fraterpal societies To
her has come through recognition
of the sphere i'm which she is partic-
ularly fitted to move. that involving
Il cultivation of broader sympathies
and n spirit of mutual helpfulness.
