Sisters, Brothers, measured by years,
A half score circles our Chapter round
Each year a milestone, set with care
And love that knew no mete nor bound
If we are faithful as We know,
To brother, and to neighbor, Just;
Then shall we reap what we have soWn,
This we believe, in this we trust.
BenevoienCe and compassion,
Are not from ourselves, thing apart.
Mere membership in an order
Is not an assurance of a heart.
Faith, without works, we know is dead.
