It is the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job, the kindness of Lincoln and the warmth of Ghandi. It is the humility of Jesus, the humbleness of Mohammed and the humanitarianism of Confucius. It is the Catholic and Protestant and the Jew living together in peacefulness and harmony. It is an Italian and Dane and Bulgarian and Pole working side by side on the job. It is the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. It is the Bible, the Talmud and the Koran. It is the essence of wisdom of all ages distilled into a single word. But equally, it is the understanding of neighbors and friends who sorrow at your misfortunes and rejoice at your triumphs. You cannot see Fraternity and Brotherhood, neither can you hear it or taste it, but you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back when things look gloomy. It is the smile of encouragement when the way seems hard. It is the helping han when the burden becomes unbearable. When is a man a Fraternalist? When he can look out over the hills, the rivers, and the wide horizon with a profound sense of his own littleness in t e vast scene of things. And yet have faith, hope and charity which are the roots of all virtues. When he can make friends and keep them, but above all keep friends with himself. When he knows down in his own heart that every man is as noble and as vile and as divine and as diabolical and as lonely as he himself, and seek only to know and to love and to forgive his fellowmen. When he can be happy and high minded amidst the meaner drudgeries of life. When he can find good in any faith that helps any man lay hold of the divme and majestic meaning of lifCi no matter what the name o t at ai mig When he can look into a wayside puddle and see somethmg besides mud. When he can look into the face of the most forlorn mortal and see something besides sin. When he can keep the faith with himself, with his fellowmen and with his God. When in his hand a sword for evil, in his heart a bit of a song. Vr When he is glad to be alive, but not afraid to die.
