Ladies'. Mobiles, Friends:-No

recognize the honor which attaches
to an invitation to address such an
assemblage as this, composed large
~, as II Is, OF the representatives OF
the greatest brotherhood on earth
the Nobility Of the order of the
Mystic Shrine.
Il feel / am indulging in no ex-
travagance OF statement when I say
to you that at no time in its history
has this great brotherhood to which
we belong and OF which we should
at all times be creditable repre-
sentatives. being stronger in num-
Der. in usefulness and in world re-
spect that Il is to-day. Therefore,
every Noble OF the Mystic Shrine
should stand shoulder to shoulder in
a firm determination to take advan-
tage OF our situation and to place
our order more firmly than ever up
on that foundation which has be-
meath it the bedrock OF public re-
| spect, confidence and admiration.

and their various branches are small
when compared to those of many of
the larger States; but II is a pleas
ure for me to assure you that no

sacrifice Of blood, material and treas
ure in behalf of world freedom than
did this jurisdiction. which It is our
pleasure and our honor to call our
own and which welcomes you here
