FRIENDSHIP PLUSSERYICE IS
Big ROTARY IDEA DECLARES
PRESIDENT H. J. DUEMELAND
By II. J. DUEMELAND
President Bismarck Rotary Club

For the next two days in our
city, we will be gathered together
in the interest of Rotary ana the
furtherance of Rotary spirit in our
Ninth District.
What is this Rotary Spirit, this
Brotherhood Of Man, that Rotar-
ians express in our notices, "Ser-
vice Above Self and "Hc Profits
most who Serves Best ?" Perhaps
that question is best answered by
the following poem by Rotarian
Edgar A. Guest of Detroit:
Red roses for the living and hand
clasps warm and true,
A heart that's tuned to- giving, and
strength to dare and do;
The sound of honest laughter, the
joy Of honest toll;
For those that follow after, to
leave a finer soil.
All this has been and ever will be
the Rotary plan.
A mans sincere cndeavOr to serve
his fellow man.
A little less of sWerving from paths
for men,
Less bitter in our speaking, more
kindly with the pen;
A little less of swervine from paths
of truth and right.
A little more of serving and less
of dollar might
More peaceful with our ncighbors,
and stauncher to our friends,
For this all Rotary labors. on this
its hope depends.
To smooth the way for others, to
make CT life the most;
TO make the phrase "our brothers"
mean more than idle boast;
To praise sincere endeavor, when
praise will spur it on,
Withholding kind words never until
the friend is gone;
This is the Rotary spirit, this is
the Rotary dream,
God grant that we may near it,
before we cross the stream.
Friendship and Service make the
word "Brotherho God" so full of mean
ing.
AS Rotary spirit sprea s
throughout the world, who can tell
of more friendly feelings inspirel
therefrom through all the Nations.
May it not have a bigger, better
