Setting forth the ideals of Rotary,
DR.. Roger H. Molten, of Chicago, at
the head of the international depart
ment OF cooperation, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the regular Wednes-
day noon luncheon of the Rotary
Club at the Chamber Of Commerce.
Rotary was established primarily
for the individual" DR.. Molten said,
and any work carried on by the
club is Incidental to the purpose Of
Rotary in helping man find him
self.
Rotary is accomplishing something
that has never been accomplished be-
fore, and that is making the Golden
Rule workable Rotary is bringing men
in touch with the Infinite, and in
bringing men to a realization that
the Golden Rule is practicable and
wall work in business, it is doing
what the Christian religion and the
Christian church has failed to do.
when you can analyze yourself
and can then sell yourself to yourself,
when you are honest with yourself
and know that you are four square
with the world, then you can do
something for your own fellow men.
Rotary is doing this for the individual
and when you serve your fellowman
and your community you are serving
your nation and your God.
Here the speaker quoted a verse
on Rotary follows;
Rotary
It's the Golden Rule in Business,
It's Friendship through and through
It's Cheerfulness and Sunshine
It's the hand held out 10 YOU,
It's the boosting OF your city
II is Service guarantee,
It's the biggest thing in all the world,
That is Rotary.
Or. Molten then stated that Rotary
is the biggest thing in all the world,
III develops the good in man, its
purpose is following the Golden Rulo
and Brotherhood of Man" He urged
that every Rotarian study the Rotary
Code Of Ethics and live up to it.
In conclusion he gave the follow
ing:
"An IF For ROtarians
"If you can keep the faith OF those
about you,
BE known for one who always plays
the game,
So live that when you speak no one
will doubt you.
Nor ask if words and actions are the
same;
If you can throw the whole of your
endeavor,
Your heart and soul and mind to
make your town
The one best place TO live in--seeking |
never
The limelight. nor the puff of cheap
renown,
II you can take the hand OF some
poor brother.
And lead him from the thing that
helped his fall;
II you can view the failings OF an
other
With charity and tolerance for all;
II when you smile some heart is
made the lighter,
Some souls despair is changed to
newborn hope;
II the dark places of the earth are
brighter.
I,ecause you led the way TO those
who grope,
II you are able, by your cherry greet
ing.
70 smooth the line of care from some
ones face;
To make them feel that from that
casual meeting.
New strength has come with which
TO run the race:
II you can sing like boy-feel al
ways just eighteen
II when there's work around--to you
the glory
Df showing all the rest what work
can mean.
II all through life. whatever be your
station,
You let the thought of service fill
your SOUL
servicc 10 God, TO man 20 friend,
to nation,
Until what was the part becomes
the whole;
Il you can do all this until life
closes,
Yet realize your task Is but begun;
You may die poor, but, by the Holy
Moses.
foull be- a good Rotarian. my son!'
