some inquiry as to what the word
Kiwanis means, and assured the

meaning is significant, as the mem

The motto. 1--WE Build. was also
explained. and for the benefit Of
others not acquainted with the full
meaning of that motto, we VIII print
the following

two names that are greater. each

of Socrates, the Philosopher. and
Christ, the Crueified.
