auenee greater than words can por-
tray. the truthfulness of the text that
brotherhood is pledge of immortal-
isy for I'VE know that we have passed
out of death into life. because We
love the brethren"
we shall so out to the green hill
today and tomorrow and Yet another
day TO gently lay the flowers of per
f0med sweetness and drop tears born
of love upon the graves of our dead,
but we shall return with gentler ard
holier thoughts of home, kinolser
thoughts of friends and a broader
sympathy and charity for all who live.
Clothed with the grace of love for
henedietion TO earth: the passions that
make for strife shall become subdued
and more and more will be- ushered
in the day of universal peace. and the
crowning day of all-the day when all
men are brothers.
The crest and crowning of all good,
l-ife's final star in Rrotherhoods
For it will bring again TO earth
Her long-lost Poesy and Mirths
VIII send new light on every face.
A kindly power upon the race,
And till it comes We men are
slaves
And travel downward to the dust of
graves.
Come. clear the way, then clear the
Way
Blind ereeds and kings have had
their day.
Break the dead branches from the
path;
Our hope is in the aftermath
Our hope is in heroic men.
Startled to build the world again.
To this event the ages ran
Make way for Brotherhood. make
way for Man.
