GOOD FELLOWSHIP

GOOD FELLOWSHIP
All the good fellows win assemble about the altar
Of Good Fellowship Wen have friendly hearttohear
talk We are going to have a good time-enioy each
others companyand if you're Of those selfish critters
who can't the spirit Of this crowd you'd better
stay outside Light your pipe cigar if you want To- but
if you don't smoke it's all the same We don't care much
what you do so long as you are a really good fellow
Good fellow" zone Of the boys"-all the same thing?
Now that's where you're clear off the track if that's your
idea about it. You may be good fellow and be zone of
the boys" you may be; it all depends-upon some
thing else A fellow" you know is just an associate
in other words good just means good
that's all It doesn't have anything to do with eating
drinking smoking or anything of the sort-they are
incidental they may the deal or they may not
Keep your mind the main pont-were talking about
Good Fellowship
There isn't anything really small about the really good
fellow; he is broadminded openhearted considerate He
doesn't around with him any small or large grudges
against you anybody else there isn't any jealousy of
his fellows in his makeup and he isn't going about by
day Icing awake night concoctng petty schemes fo
getting even with somebody he's big proposition for
anything Of that Sort these things belong the small
fellow who can't possibly be good fellow no matter if
he does go out with the boys. and have high old
time"
Good Fellowship is really kind of degree in friend
ship; isn't very different from brotherhood which is
the basis of it. and that's the principle which is
being written larger in the hearts Of succeeding
and century what the church and the great fra
ernal orders trying teach u.s. but you may have
noticed that all these Institutions have fallen short of
getting thoroughly "innocuated" with it. In fact you
may know people in the churches who profess high
grade Of pieyand really think they have t-and people
in the lodges who the vows brotherhood but yet
really know nothing Of good fellowship Their petty
chickering's pgheadedness and general swne hness their
lack of broad sympathy consderaeness toward their
professed brothers, their loneliness and their unwilling
symptoms whereby know they are not good fellows
Good fellowship helps to make good citizens, good
lodge men, good Christians for it makes us kindly with
our kind" makes it easy for us to work together for
common benefit and happiness; not knocking and
criticizng each other when are good fellows we get
right into the game whatever is and play it heartily
cheerully loyalty like good fellows Count me in on it
fellows if think its all right it suits me-" that's the
way Good Fellowship talks. 1
You don't know anything about the real Joy of living
if you not good felew; you are one of those
selfcentered fellows, if your interests and sympathies
extend further than your small self or your family
Or social set missing the genuine luxury of life
Good fellows enjoy each other and the to which they
belong numbers all mankind in its fellowship or rather
all that portion of mankind who conscious Of the
bond of brotherhood
It's the greatest thing in the word-Good Fellowship
you want to be somebody" if you want to be useful
member of society if you want experience the joys of
living and be remembered when you quit the game you
ought to join the order Of Good Fellowship right now
Why don't you be a good fellow?
