a brothers nakedness as with gar
ment, and his sin as with veil; the
charity that knowing evil, yet speak
eth none; the charity that out of its
great pity draws to it's bosom, in an
embrace of love, the sin and the sim
ner, the helpless and the hopeless of
the earth. This is the charity that
maketh a man ike unto a God. 1t is
like a sunbeam cleaning and glancing
into a Swallowed room, darting its rays
of ineffable brightness into the gloom
of life; but like that sunbeam, so is
this charity as fleeing as elusive.
However in the daily associations of
our life we can still the wicked
thought and curb the evil tongue that
wrong our neighbor
"Then gently scan your fellow man
Still gentler sister woman,
Tho they may gang akennin wrang,
To step aside is human"
Justice.
Justice equal and exact to all. If
we could render such justice to each
other, the world would be a little
nearer Heaven and ourselves a little
nearer God. 1t is not a very difficult
task to be just, where no chord of
passion or prejudice is vibrated and
no selfish interest is stirred; but to
attain the sublimity of equal and exact
justice to all is, ! fear, beyond the
strength of humanity; it is the attri'
butte of God himself; yet if we strive
to reach. we approach it's accomplish
ment, for to travel, upward we, must
hitch our wagon to star.
BrotherIy Love.
And this, take it, walks hand in
hand with that charity, which is love
The love that proclaims our common
brotherhood, not alone in the mirtf
and joy of social festivities, but in the
tears and sadness of distress; not only
under the roof-tree of our hospitablt
lodges within our native land, but un
der strange suns and amidst alieI
races in foreign shores. The tie tina
binds in one fellowship of affection
the humble and the proud, the fortu
nate and the oppressed of earth. Thu
chain that stretches around the who'll
world and links us each to each in on'
complete obligation of love.
Fidelity.
True faith in all of life's relations
: What higher aspiration, what noble
desired To be faithful to our princi
pies and to our duties; in our busi
ness faithful, faithful in our pleasures
in all things loyal and true. Loya
and true to the friend who trusts us
J loyal and true to the mother who
bore, the father who matured us; loya
and true to the child who loves lis
loyal and true to the wife of our al
lection, the chosen companion of life
journey, the sharer of our joy, tn
consider of our grief, our present
sanctuary and our final intercessor.
And there is another loyalty, a
more impersonal one, that cannot b.
too often or too strongly urged upol
us now. That is loyalty to the lant
of our nativity-or of our adoption
