President Addresses Na- tional FraternaI Con- gress Delegation and
 Lauds Religious Founda-
 tion of Most All Lodges

Washington. Aug. 2s.-Fraternal- ism as "a strong reliance of ordered government. according to public law" was praised today by Presi- dent Coolidge in an address to a delegation representing the national fraternal congress.
 Based On Religion
 "The rituals of nearly all fratern- al organizations" Mir. Coolidge said, "are based upon religion. No true fraternity can rest on any other con- ception. It Is for these reasons they are supporters of true aims of so- ciety, strong reliances of ordered government, according to public law, able advocates of the cause of righteousness and religion, and ef- fective promoters of peace and good will among the nations of the earth"
 Spirit of Brotherhood
 The president characterized the spirit of brotherhood as the fun damental principle of our country" As a result, he said, there is Every great deal more equality in America than is yet appreciated" He named the mental virtues necessary to suc- cess as including industry, loyalty, faith and fellowship.
 Not to have faith in our fellow men," he continued. Ifs not to have faith in ourselves. It is to deny our mutual dependence upon each other and upon a divine power We live in an ordered universe ruled by law and by the guiding power of provi- dence. Not to hold faith appears to me to attempt to fight against the stars in their courses Such resist ance must end In destruction. Faith in God is the beginning of religion"
 Urges Better Understanding
 Again urging a better understand ing among individuals. the president declared the development of hu- manity required fellowship.
 The great effort of civilization is to provide the right to come into fellowship among all the individuals of the human race" he said. Tt has been and can be somewhat aided by legislation, but in the main it must be worked out and provided by the people themselves. It is not so much a rule of law as an atti- tude of mind"
 Mir. Coolidge confined his remarks to his chosen topic of fraternalism. not touching at any time directly on politics and the campaign. He spoke on the south portico with the delegates assembled on the White House lawn.
 Neither did the president refer by name to any particular fraternal order or secret society.
 Tn outlining his views Mir. Cool idge reminded his audience that because believe in these. would not have 1t thought believe in nothing else, or suppose that in our social and political relations many

 Earlier in the evening the prince took time to receive a deputation of brothers Masons. representing all the members of the order aboard ship. The deputation, which in- cluded two Americans, greeted Wales as past senior grand warden of the united grand lodge and as provincial grand master of Surrey.
 His royal highness responded cor dially and delighted two of the members by autographing their ma sonic travelling certificates.
 Wales also had a chat with Mir. Counciran. owner of the winner of the Melbourne grand national stee- plechase in 1928. He recounted some of his experiences in steeple- chase riding in England and also of his Australian visit.
