we strive to abolish class distinctions
TO destroy racial and group hatred.
and Jealousies, and war against vice
and selfishness, the bane of human
society. 1t is worth while for people.
1mbued with such spirit. and with
such high aims to come together in
meetings like this and look great ideals
in the face.
Our ideals are represented by our
three links, friendship, love and truth
Friendship between men, friendship.
between races, friendship between ma
lions, friendship which will prevent
one taking an unfair or dishonest adj
vantage of another which will cause
men and nations to deal with each
other In justice, rulers to rule in right
eousness and ultimately save the world
from the welter of hate and te hor-
rors of war.
Love not sole emotion or mushy
sentiment, but that strong princinle
which makes our neighbors wrongs and
our neighbors degradation and suffer
ing our own, which makes honor and
Justice the basis of all intercourse be-
tween individuals, groups and nations.
which puts omnipotent. power behind
our efforts for the improvement of the
race and the welfare of the world.
Truth, that great light which gives
us power to see clearly the Divine de.
sire and purpose in the intercourse
between men and nations, which
breaks the bonds of fear, hate, selfish,
ness and greed and plants in their
stead, love, faith, charity and service.
which leads men to realize that he who
dries the tear and relieves the suffer-
ing OF the least of earth whose great
est wish is to be known as the friend
of mankind is drawing nigh unto the
friendship of God

these things to show you the order
which we represent, the aims and
faith of us, whom you have so whole
heartedly welcomed to your city and
your homes. Again I thank you"
