the observance of the Golden Rule in |
private, civic, social and business life.
The Kiwanis also aim to promote the |
spirit of fraternalism among business
and professional men, and one of its /
main objects is to discuss and study |

Marion, o., club; the Prince of Wales, |

Texas club.
President Harding, in speaking of |
the Kiwanis, said:
IF 1 can have with me in my work |
and life the spirit of Kiwanis, with its |
friendly cooperation, I shall have no |
fear of the morrow. Your motto, We I
Build is the geratest thing in the /
world, but we must not only build but
preserve. I have been trying to organ
ize a little Kiwanis club of my own. /
There are to be only ten members, but !
I am practicing the very thought +
which you have in your own organiza

ing leader in each line for the ten
places in my cabinet"
