"It is peculiarly American. THIS
universally OF love and brotherhood,
and It Is very interesting 10 us today
that we have among other fraternitleS
a fraternity such as this whose guests
We arc today. which Is banded togeth-

as beautiful as that is. as practical as
Ii Is, as necessary as 1t is. but II Is
banded together not only for that,
but also for universal helpfulness, 1t
is uniquely an American conception
OF brotherhood, so that wherever we
have lived. In whatever state, in what
ever part of this great land OF ours.
we have always known of the benen-
cent hand OF this order stretched out,
not towards It's members. that We do
not know OF. but Its beneficent hands
are stretched out towards those who
are not members of its order. towards
the unfortunate, towards the weak.
towards those who need friend,
lief, whatever their creed. whatever
their race
There Is something very wonderful
about this idea OF human brotherhood,
this feeling of loyalty of one man to-
wards another. just because he Is
man.
Mr. Lamb. in his Essays OF Ella,
tells n very interesting story about
19ntlppn1n Snm. nulyg NhV IL iy
| that such n gentleman of London is so
courteous and polite and gentle and
| as the story goes In the essay. you
remember. he says that he remembers
at one time how that London MGR
chant had been engaged to a most
beautiful woman, Miss Winstanley.
He called upon her at one time and
he found her not in her usual sunny
mood. and after many inquiries he
finds out from her this incident. Il
was passing Your store the other day
and | heard you beratng your wash
erwoman. because she was few min
utes late, or few hours late, as it
NAV have been, with your laundry. not
knowing that perhaps she may have
staid up half the night TO finish 1t
said to myself that |. Miss Winstan-
Icy. beauty and an heiress. may have
the very finest speeches of this fine
| gentleman. but this poor washerwo-
man, name unknown, has nothing but
criticism, and | said to myself. ii
have not the kind speeches of this
man. not because / am a beauty and
an heiress, but just because I am a
woman, / Will not have them at ALL
and as the story goes this charming
woman, who told such a beautiful,
great. universal truth 10 this man died
before the marriage was conSum-
mated, and the story goes on to say
this friend has seen this merchant
standing bare headed in the London
street in the rain, helping an apple
woman over the crossing through the
mud, paying tribute to her woman
hood, that Is the IDEAL life. 1t means
much to us In this generation that We
are going to pay tribute not to the
man. not to his station. not to his
back account. not to his physical
prowess. but We are paying honor to
his manhood. that means great things
"The speaker was for a time trav.
cling man, he spent much time in no.
tells. he saw many strangers. Hotel
life is not a pleasant life for any one
times for those who serve 1t is to be
regretted that many people sitting at
Il public table, paying current coin for
the food placed before them, fancy
that IL gives them a right TO say
things to the woman whose need it Is
to serve that they would not say In
their own homes.
1--WE have had for a long time
hn So l.,
beautiful word, but among the most
pleasant recollections of the speaker
In those days when he was travelling
away from home is the remembrance
how frequently az the time passes
and more frequently as the time pass
es among the men at hotel table
calling his waitress for another help
ing. did not call her by her given
name, which he had picked up from
some one else, but said, Sister. can
have some more potatoes or meat?
1t will be wonderful day for human
ity when men shall have learned thai
because men are brothers women arc
sisters, it will be a wonderful day
when we speak Of the woman whose
name we do not know. whether she
meets us socially, or whether she
serves us In her need, that we shall
think of her as our sister. When we
put woman in sisters place in our
hearts and lives. 1t will be wonder
full dawn for the beauty OF woman
hood in our country.
"Then we have another phase 20
ing over the land these days, the
phase Of the big brother movement
and that means much. 1t means thai
the man has found that the boy Is hi,
younger brother, and men over thu
country are trying to set themselvc!
to do something worth while for the
boy; it Is great idea
But we are talking about ourselves
being brothers, because we can bt
