QED to his unmatchable claims: l am the
way, the Life, the Door, the Truth, the
Resurrection, the Savior, the Redeemer,
the Son of God. 81 and the Father are one
he that hath seen men, hath seen the Fa-
Their; no one cometh unto the Father but
by me-"
Why all this significance imputed to the
resurrection Why? Is it a simple matter
that one enters the grave dead and after
three days m out in His same body
spiritualized and glorified, to become the
Almighty Ruler of all creation? ? Even from
a purely human standpoint, what value
has anything for man, in heaven or on
earth, if there be no resurrection? Why be
born, why live at all? What would be the
difference between virtue and vice? But
in the light of the resurrection, everything
in human life has eteral value: the Uni
verse has real meaning; and God, other,
wise a theory, has been for over 1900 years
our heavenly Father in the truest personal
sense.
Now, it is this fatherhood of God that
has begotten the brotherhood of man. And
the spirit of these two Christian PRINCIPLES
has brought nto existence the United Ma
tons Organization. And, on this glorious

mere can be no universal and perpetual
peace without regenerating the hearts of
men by Spirit of the Prince of Peace, which
is love to God and love to man, made a.
valuable by the power of His resurrection
which makes all things possible. The re,
surrection unleashed the atomic energy of
Love, with a flood of light brighter than
any conflagration known in heaven into a
new world in which it begins to develop
and grow in a sphere of eternal life and
light and love, limited only by the absolute
perfection of God himself.

a victorious army returning and a United
Organization about to be estab-
lished among us, l cannot but make a few
propositions on this great occasion.

security of peace, first of all, I wish you
