OF those who are beaten down in tho
harsh battle Of life. OF all things, II
does not teach us to make believe that
there are not any obstacles: It does
not teach us to make believe that life
can somehow he made soft and easy
for everyone; 1t cannot be. For many
OF us life is nothing but very hard.
Each one Of us who does anything is
going to have hard stretches in It.:
otherwise men would not do anything.
II man does not meet with Difficult
ties: II he does not put himself in a
way where he has to overcome them, he
would not do anything that is worthy
OF being done.
Masonry teaches and fosters more
than the qualities OF self-respect ana
self-help-the qualities that make man
man fit to stand by himseif-and yet
II must foster in everyone who appre-
ciates as II should be appreciated the
beautiful and solemn ritual: 1t must
foster in him genuine feeling for the
rights of others and the feeling of 9TH
ers. Masons help one another in n way
that Is free from the curse of self
condemnation. Help given in a spirit
of arrogance does not benefit anyone.
Help must be given nationally. with a
feeling OF cordial good will. Now, in
our life of today, In our great complex
industrial centers what do we most
need? We need each to understand the
others view point; to understand that
the other man IL at the bottom like
himself. Each Of us should understand
that. and try to approach the subject
at issue or any problem that arises
with firm determination not to be
weak or foolish That is helpful to
your neighboT.
Weakness and folly and timidity
are not helpful to your nelghbor. Timid
endurances of wroug-doing may often
be TO commit one OF the greatest evils
that one possibly can commit against
ones fellows, but we will acknowledge
that while insisting upon that, that
there must be no yielding to wrong,
and yet II is ever necessary to remem-
Der that you can not appreciate the
rights of the case until you are able to
see how your nelghbor looks at it;
how he is affected by IT, You take any
lodge where, as in the case in our own
little lodge, you see the capitalist and
wage-workers, men of all classes, men
of every kind OF social position and
wealth and see them meeting together
as Masons in the fullest sense OF the
word, with feeling for one another
that goes with Masonry. When one
sees a lodge such as that, a meeting
such as that, one sees how a certain
small fragment OF our Industrial prob
lem Is to be solved. 1t Is not possible
TO present the idea that | would like
TO bring QUITO have all the best of ali
classes represented in Masonry in
every district, but 1t Is possible for
each OF us TO go out into the world try
Ing TO apply in his dealings with his
fellows the lessons OF Masonry as they
are taught In the lodges and as they
are applied in the brotherhood And so
we can SO practically learn from
Washington how to deal with problems
of today"
Stewart l.. Woolford, former Minis
ter to Spain, delivered the concluding
address. The President was escorted
to the railroad station and left for
Washington at 3: 40 o'clock this after
noon.
