For the weak are heavier crosses,
Every year;
Lost springs with sobs replying,
Unto Weary autumns signing,
While those we love are dying,
Every year
Though keen be the sense of our
loss, this is a day for the Voice of
Faith to speak For we believe that
life is ever lord of death, and love
shall never lose its own
within our hearts is the voice of
faith triumphant, and it whispers
mighty hope that
Death is life,
And parting is but meeting
Beyond the cloud-land, shadowing the
grave.
Yes, death is life,
And as earth's years are fleeting,
We grasp the Immortality we crave
The Bond of Love.
$50 while we mingle together here
and now, how beautiful and how fit
ting, that we should recognize the
bond of love and brotherhood.
1T must be more than figure of
speech, or catchy phrase; it must
be reality. 1t demands that you act
the part of the brother; that the broad
hand of charity be ever open to a
brother in distress.
This is prominently the principle
which, in its practical fulfillment.
gives to your order its highest dignity
and it's greatest glory.
without charity, fraternity is an
empty and meaningless word. I'm
| worthy would your order be of place
among the honored institutions of the
land, if, first and before all else, it
did not manifest the largest exhibit
billions of charity and benevolence.
What world this would be. with
out the spirit of helpfulness that lifts
the burdens of life! The gospel for
today is the gospel of helpfulness and
good cheer 'Sobriety, truth, justice
and morality are the lofty
principles your brotherhood has es-
poused.
High is the ideal of life and char
| acter they place before you. With re-
gard to your home relations, it is love.
With regard to your commercial re-
lations, it is honesty. With regard to
your vocation, it is duty. With regard
to the truth, it is fidelity. With regard
to your country, it is patriotism. With
regard to your religion, it is faith
all-conquering, and anchored within
the vaile.'
