And finally. my brethren, do we remem-
Der that fidelity is that virtue which en-
braces us all in our great brotherhood.
Loyalty to our order and to each other in all
that is clean and honest and pure and noble,
is what makes US strong and felt in ife's
service. Fidelity to all that is best and
noblest in our natures should characterize
our every act. That we may never be found
wanting in our Journey through life, first
let me enjon YOU again, in Closing, that
charity Is the nObleSt tree in the garden of
virtues;' that Justice is the fire of divine
truth - that "brotherly love is the mystic !
tie that unite> our hearts" and that "fdelity
IS the suaI ulan anger OF all our virtues - i
May We so live that, when our final sum- !
mons comes, We may lie down to pleasant
dreams. with an unfatering trust that we, |
too. have left some footprint on the sands |
of time that, some fOrlorn and Shipwrecked |
brother, seeing, may take heart again.
