our LorI and Mstcr of us all.
Whate'cr name or sign.
We own Thy sway. We hear Thy call.
We test lives bJ Thine
The call of our grand master will, l
am sure. awaken responsive chord in
the heart of every Sir Knight in this jur-
isdction No better watchword can we
have than Service i'll His Name Let
us freely and bounteously cast our
bread upon the waters No one can tell
how soon in the benefiCent Providence of
God it may be returned 10 US No one
can tell that the wheel of destiny may
not turn and We ourselves be compelled
10 ask for that charity which our blessed
Saviour taught us and which the pre-
cepts of our order teach us to bestow
upon all in need.
There i a destiny that makes Us brothers.
None goes his way alone;
All that send into the hTcs ut C'heTs
Cones hack into our own.
The Masonic fraternity. through the
Blue Lodges is engaged in the splendid
endeavOr of raising the sum necessary |
for the completion of our Masonic and
Eastern Star Home As the Lord has
prospered us during the year that is
closing let US give of our substance,
through our lodges, to that most worthy
object. No better cause could be pre-
sented. Surely that will be Service in
His Name and will merit the commen-
dation of our grand master, the ap-
prOvaI of our own hearts, and the bene-
dictiOn OF the blessed Emmanuel, who we
sincerely and earnestly pray may in
very truth always be indeed God with
us COurteOusly yours,
