| This visit of the Grand Worthy
President is the highest sort of trib
ute to our local order of Eagles ant
offers convicing testimony Of 1T
strength and standing in the nation
al order. 1t is not often that Mays
vile is so highly honored and this
chance to demonstrate our civic pro
gressiveness as we'll as our hospital
ity should not be lost by our variou:
fraternal and business organizations
and the citizens in general.
His visit to this lodge and Maysvill'
is certainly compliment to the per
sonal of the local aerie. At this tim,
: the Importance of such organization
to the nation can not be measured, |
is essentially and fundamently a pa
triotic organization, the flag of the ma
ton is the emblem of the order, ant
no aerie neither grand or subordinat
ever opens a meeting without salut
ing the great American flag. The frs
lesson a candidate receives on enter
. ing this organization, and the impres
sion throughout its operation is 10y
atty to our country. Today its mem
bers imbued by this spirit whether Il
the forest or at the fiery furnaces; il
the bowels of the earth producin
minerals or coal, in the great indus
trial plants that are shaping our mer
chant marines, the engine driver Ol
our steel highways, the stoker on th
great leviathans that plow the seas
everyone today is lending his he'll
more sincerely to make the world saf
] for democracy because of the in
fluences of this organization. AS sool
as war was declared the message Il
no uncertain terms went forth to ev
cry subordinate aerie throughout thi
land to lend every effort to supper
the hand of the president, urged 1t
members to enlist at once, made pos
sible the purchase of million dol
lars worth Of Liberty Bonds, insure
those that went into the service O
the nation and provided that no mem
Der so serving should become delin
: quent during such service. Toda
Drawing the perils on the North Sc
on American destroyers, locked i
deaths embrace at every war from
fighting duels miles above the cloud
win be found the volunteers from thi
organization, who sought not the sof
places to serve, but took their posi-
tions wherever the nation assigne
them uncomplainingly.
The address of the Great Worth
President no doubt will breath an in
spiration Of patriotism and everyon
privileged to attend will be made
better and more loyal citizen becaus
of his visit to our city.
