In sending out letter to members
of various lodges, the letter says IN
part:
'Fraternalism World Hope.'
"Fraternalism is the hope of the
world. 1t is the one thing that can
lift man to the highest pinnacle
of mental, moral and social achieve
fment.- 1T is the bright star of hope
in a world just beginning to emerge
from the chaos of war, and has
Preached Its zenith in the countless
fraternities of America. Fraternal-
ism must be the solvent for racial
differences, class strife, social unrest.
and numerous other diverse factors
which enter into American life. The
one great question is: "Are the fra
ternal societies prepared to assume
these obligations and fulfill the
duties incumbent upon them?"
"Bemidji has its share of fraternal
organizations. Every one of them is
good. Each plays an enviable part
in the various fraternal activities of
the city. AS individual organizations
their work is quite complete. But
what would you think of an asso-
citation constituted Of all fraternal
organizations of the city, which met,
say once every month or so to dis
cuss the general fraternal policies
of the community? There seems to
be an especial need for just such an
organization in Bemidji. The truth
is, none of the fraternal societies
know quite enough Of what their
brother societies aim to do, and are
doing. Wouldn't it be far better il
there was a general system Of co.
operation between all fraternal So
cieties? Wouldn't ali men better
understand one another? And
wouldn't It be the real way to- secure
a maximum of fraternal efficiency?
All Are Welcome.
ION Tuesday evening, September
80, the Loyal Order Of Moose will
open it's hall to all fraternal organf-
cations in the city for a. big "get-
together" meeting whose chief aim
will be to weld into closer union the
many fraternal societies OF Benidji.
It will be the first meeting of this
kind ever held, and you are asked
to help make it a success. This
means that you will send as many
of your members as possible. All are
welcome. In addition you will notify
your best speaker or two Of them,
to represent you in the fraternal dis
courses that will make up the pro-
gram: If you have a man in your
order who appeals to you as a real
live-wire fraternalist he is the man
you should select to speak your
wishes. Remember, FRATERNAL-
ISM is the theme and we want to
make it big enough to include every
phase of social relationship. There
will be no. end Of good speeches.
open Observation-Disclosures reso-
the like. There will
be cigars-boxes of them-and a
luncheon after the discussions. In
fact, it will be the first of a series of
united fraternal meetings which will
serve to put Bemidji on record as the
livest fraternal city in America"
