DAKOTA, SATURDAY, FEBRU
More justice would be sought in law.
more ethics in politics. more love in
religion. and a better preparation for
the activities in life.
Let me say to you my friends and
brothers, that grander opportunity for
the display of manly courage and the
attainment of enduring fame in the
cause of the principles we so much
cherish has never been offered to the
men and women of this world. Hun
dreds of people are beginning to believe
in the teachings of brotherhood, in the
reality and value of benevolence. in the
worth for practical purposes of an
intelligent personal warm-hearted love
extended without discrimination to the
poor as we'll as to the rich. to the bad
as we'll as to the good. Free Masonry is
without doubt the most powerful secret
organization in the world. God help US
to be true to our ideals and to make the
most of our opportunities for service.
May we learn to choose rightly in life,
and to act nobly and grandly and kindly
On every occasion. Let US never shirk
a duty or compromise our manhood. Let
us not be fretted by petty annoyances
and little miseries.. On the contrary
may we be so thoroughly persuaded of
the eternal and, triumphant character Of
the principles Of truth as expressed in
friendship, love, charity, benevolence.
sincerity and sympathy that we shall
commit ourselves to them with an un-
reserved and unquenchable enthusiasm.
Who would not champion be
In this holy chivalry?
For there are those who ache to see j.
The day-dawn Of such victory.
Work brothers. work. work hard and fast,
Let's win golden age at last.
We will, we will. for man and God
Bring heaven down upon our sod.
