SPEAKS TO MODERN WOODMEN
formulation Of All FraternaI Orders
Can Better Be Understood BY
Reading Scriptures in Bible"

Observation-Disclosures was selected
by the Modern Woodmen of America
as their next meeting place, Septem-
Der /.
Featuring the afternoons speeches
was the address delivered by Cover
nor Beckett on the subject of "Frater-
nity," which was listened to with in
tense interest and drew out bursts of
applause from the delegates.
"The foundation of all fraternal or
ders can better be understood by read
ing the scriptures in the Bible" was
the opening remark made by Cover
nor Beckett, who compared genuine
fraternity with that which prevailed
among the soldiers when they bound
themselves together in a closer bond
of love and fellowship while grinding
the mills of war.
"The kind of man who makes
good member OF any fratenal order is
the fellow who has the mind Of poet,
the patience of Job, and~who does not
believe he il capable of advising Allah
as to how the universe should be oper-
ated, whose mirth bubbles UP like the
fountain Of Elm, whose way is not the
only way, who recognizes humanity in
man, is tolerant of his weakness, for
gives his sins, and is willing to lend
helping hand where help is needed,
was the manaer in which Governor
Beckett expressed his definition of
true fraternity. In brief but inter
esting manneY Governor Beckett re-
viewed the great war and the way in
which it had resulted in creating q
family reunion between America,
France and England, and had enabled
America to settle her old debt tc
France. He said that he was willing
at least to give che Huns credit for
bringing about this harmony between
the three countries, who had bound
themselves together in an everlasting
bond Of friendship. which eventually
was going to result in putting an end
to wars.
