close attention by the audience pres

at length on the cardinal virtues of
charity, brotherly love. faithfulness
and integrity, precepts inculcated by
the teachings Of the lodge. He
showed clearly the broad ground and
the sure foundations Of loyalty and
helpfulness which the order esteem
as beneficial to all men, and which
all good mon can subscribe to. Tne
