The Great Master told his followers
that should he augment the Table o.
Laws which was given to Moses, the
eleventh commandment would be thai
Eye shall love one another" The COS
pei of Jesus Christ is one of love. Love
is the fundamental principle of his
teachings. We are told tnat God, him
self, is love. In rude log cabins, con-
verted temporarily into old-fashioned
''meetin' houses in massive struc-
lures whose towering spires and sun
kissed domes would seem to point the
way to heaven, sermons have been
preached upon this imperishable
theme. Orators of fame, standing be-
fore thousands, with trophe and meta
phor flowing readily from their lips,
have pasionately urged their hearers
to obey this teaching; sweet-faced
women have inculcated it into the
minds and hearts of the boys and
girls gathered before them in the Sun
day school room. Love one another
But for US, the residents of North
Dakota, there has been a practical ex.
emplification of the doctrine of broth.
erly love far grander than any sermon
ever uttered by the tongue of man,
far more inspiring than any words |
ever before heard by mortal ear. Two
simple acts, accorded small space in
the daily press of the state, shine forth
as beacon lights to those whose sordid
thoughts follow no other channel than
that of business worry and money
getting.
When the recent tornado swept over
the northwestern section of the state,
two farmers residing near Sherwood
were the heaviest losers in their COM

them. There We're said to have been
II binders at work in their fields.
That the little kindness shown them
in their hour of adversely was wholly
unexpected only added to their heart
felt appreciation of the deed. 1t
About three miles west of Kenmare
there is farm whereon resides lit
tie girl with her parents. This little
lady is not as other children are, for
she must hobble around on a crutch
But being a cripple has not robbed &c
Oracle Kaufman of any of the sun {
shine Of life. At her home she has cul- =
tivated little plot of flowers, and one
or two times each week she has WIS.,
tied the nearby town and taken in
bouquets which she has sold. The
other day it leaked out that she had ;
received a letter from board Of mis- E
sions and charities in the east, thank t
ing her sincerely for having sent in {
neat little donation for a childrep's 9
fund in India. The pennies and nick +
els and dimes which she had received
for her flowers had been carefully
saved up for this purpose, and Oracle {
is happier than ever now, possessing .
the knowledge, as she does, that she {
has been able to do some real good c
for humanity, even though it be in far
off India.
All great fraternities and fraternal
organizations are founded upon this
underlying principle of Brotherly
Love, for Brotherly Love is Fraternity.
In it's exemplification lies the real So {

kindly, modest act Of charity of little
