Gailor, Bishop of Tennessee, and president of the National Council of the Episcopal Church, who set forth the ideals of the Shrine. Bishop Gallor Speak Taking as his text “The of God.” from the epistle iii. 4—Bishop Gailor said, “How wonderful, how giorious, that is, ‘The kindness of God, what meaning, what interest and hope and reality it gives to life—God the Al- mighty, the absolute, ineffable source ot all power, all thought, all life, who holds the universe in the hollow of His hand, and without whose will we could not draw another breath! God is kind. Yes, behind all the coldness and hardness of nature, ‘red in tooth and claw. there is a will that Is good and a heart that is kind. “Therefore. man. the child of God, must be kind, says the Christian apostle. ‘Be yve kind one to another.’ and again, if You want to be a whole man, add virtue to faith. and to faith knowledge, and to knowledge brother- 1y kindness; for kindness is a primary Christian precept and covers the whole of life. Obligation of Privilege. “Every privilege Involves a cor- responding obligation. No man liveth unto himself. For the individual and for the nation also this is true, that selfishness Is a canker that blights both honor and happiness. It makes wealth arrogant and cruel. It makes poverty bitter and resentful, it breeds susplcion and contention] injustice and corruption, it is the mother of sin. But kindness—the acceptance of the obligation of kinship—is the divine law of true manhood. We are citizens of the world and the precept is binding upon us all: ‘Be ye kind, one to another, tender hearted, for- giving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. “And this fellowship makes life worth living. To have friends and to be friendly; to forget one’s own troubles in thinking of others: to make one’s life a positive contribu- n to the well-being of the com- munity: to be too busy doing good to have time for evil courses. “And here, finally, is the joy of life. For what is life after all, but an opportunity; an opportunity as Browning says, to learn the power nd glory of love; to show kindness and draw nearer in understanding and sympathy to our fellow human beings? To waste and misuse this opportunity by selfish isolation is to take all the joy and richness out of life. To let daily business narrow and harden the soul is to make age more lonely and death more horrible. As Shakespeare says: ** ‘I have lived long enough: my way of lite I fallen into the sear. tie yellow taaf And that which should accompany old ‘As_honor. love. obedienc 1 must not look to have.” “But to be kind to one another ac- cording to the Kindness of God our Savior, that fortifies a man's soul with peace and gives him the capac- ity for true enjoyment even here. 1t lightens the daily task; It cheers the heart with Innocent amusement; it ennobles the work al- 1eady done ‘and gives courage to face the future trial. So it may pervade and inspire this great Brotherhood of the Mystic Shrine, enabling its members o reverence Truth, to serve humanity and to rejoice in the kind- ness of God. on slopes Kindness to Titus, in part: isy 1 i i | {lumbia will THE EVENIN G _STAR, WASHINGTON, .D.
