The Presidents message follows:
Fellow Mobiles of the Imperial
Council of the Mystic Shrine: ! take
the very greatest pleasure in extend
ing to you most hearty welcome on
the occasion Of this decennial pill
grimage to the Capital Of your coun-
try-the MESA, not only OF the 100
temples Of your organization, but OF
the more than 100, ,000, 900 Of our citi-
zens whose interest, cooperation and
loyalty are vital to the successful
functioning of our American democ-
racy.
Every genuine organization has its
own merits-its own distinct contribu.

maintenance Of hospitals for crippled
children and to other enterprises Of
philanthropic endeavor, are daily at
tanning to the lofty standards Inn
plicit in the titular designation Of
your members. But you do not thus
carry, as mere duty, your share OF the
social load: you appreciate that the
problems of life are too serious always
to be taken seriously: and you prac-
tice the belief that gayety Of spirit
is healthful reinforcement to the
things that make life sane and sound.

you; the preparation made through
out the length and breadth Of the city

of its feeling for you. The Capital Of
your country invites you to relax in
the cordiality Of tn welcome, that you
may be fortified to renew that Jour-
ney, which-as we all know-will lie
through both oasis and desert, but
which can never be entirely either the
one or the other.
Fellow Mobiles, bid you welcome
to Washington"

buildings which house our Govern
ment. he declared, the departments
