who have gone but also to look after the
widows, children and the dependents OF
the deceased brothers. He said he would
rather have one tiny rose pinned on the
lapel OF his coat by tender hands while
he lived. than have train loads of flow
ers after death had closed his eyes. He
spoke OF the good the order is accom-
plishing throughout the world, and de-.
fined the meaning of the motto Purity,
