It is not only this great number, but many millions in addition made up of the families and beneficiaries of members having a direct concern in the success of these &reat societies, which makes them inclusive of a very large body of our people. They are likewise broadly distributed in area have a member. every part of the Union. While are of recent origin. others are than the nation itself, and the which they represent not only ante- dates our own nation, but can be traced back almost as far as we can discover records of civilization. “Whenever we find an institution including large numbers broadly dis- tributed, resting on a foundation that has come down through the ages, we know that we can rely upon it to promote the welfare of mankind. Spirit in Far-Reaching. “It is easy to see how far-reaching Is the spirit of brotherhood, of fra- ternity and of mutual helpfulness. It fundamental principle of our country. It is scarcely too much to v that almost all which we can properly designate as American is a davelopment of th precious prin- ciples und high ideals. Our political institutions are the recognition of a common brotherhood. From that vrinciple arises the right of freedom and equality. It is the basis for or- zanized and harmonious effort under public authority in our social. politi- cal and industrial life. Without the moving spirit of fraternity, of a com- mon effort for a common purpose, our Government, economic and social or- xanizations would at once disinte- srate. When you minister to that spirit, when you stimulate it into Ereater activity, you provide greater security. larzer resources and a more harmonious life for all the people. It is the expression of the spirit of com- mon brotherhood which makes men desirous to serve their own town and h wn nation in every lawful and -abiding way. It is the prime rem- edy for selfishness. Praixes Homely Virtues. “A knowledge of these principles and these ideals is among the most precious of hu sions. They are of univers tion. There are none so lacking in means or so humble in position that they are un- to avail themselves of these Sometimes I have thought do not place emphasis enough upon the homely virtues, or sufticiently appreciate the common blessings of life. It is far from my purpose to criticize ambition. It is the chief mainspring of achievement and progress. But the desire for ad- vancement. the wish for something more, ought not to make us unmind- ful of the place we now hold and the possessions we now have. The spirit of contentment is one which is well worth cultivating. The Americans are constantly criticized for the eag- erness h which we seek wealth and power. 1 doubt if we are any more avaricious and grasping than those of other nations, though 1 ad- mit we possess the enterprise which makes us more su ul. I think it would be safe to say that those Americans who have secured great wealth or have risen to places of great power would all agree that they are no happier and no better satisfied than they were in their day of comparative poverty and obscurit Success Through Uplift. “We know that this class of per- sons e for the most part secured their by some great contribu- tion to the advantage of their fel- iow men, for which they are entitled to our commendation perfectly apparent that the real sat- isfactions of life are not found in great possessions. If that be the case. there is no reason to condemn our institutions as old fashioned, or consider them as failures because they do not immediately give us all great place and great riches. We must necessarily come to the further conclusion that we shall find the reai satisfaction of life in some other di- rection. One other inference seems to me fairly plain. WHatever be the dif- ferences in station occupied by vari- viduals, in our free country, a very substantial equality in satisfaction and in happiness. Not OPEN AL But it seems | Aid to Law and Order and Helpful Toward World Amity. only vouth with scanty and home- made toys, but maturity in humble surtoundings may get about as much satisfaction out of life as those with surroundings made up of every lux- ury. If this, which 1 believe to be profoundly true, were more fully realized. it would remove much dis- content on the one hand and remedy considerable vanity and arrogance on the other. There is a very great deal more of equality in_America than is yet appreciated. Some day this will be generally understood and admitted. Happineas Enough for All “But if our satisfactions do not come from great possessions, we may well inquire what are their somrce. To my mind they come from the simp- ler things of life, from the exercise of the homely virtues that are within the reach of all. It cannot be that we live in & world where we must, for the most part, with no fault of our own, be doomed to failure and dis- appointment. That would be the case if we all must have great possessions to gain happiness and success, It must be that there is plenty of statisfaction and happiness to go around, if we will but put ourselves in an attitude to accept them. ‘One of the most elemental Vlrlu@« which is not only within reach of all, but must be practiced by all, is industry. It is very difficult to imagine any personal satisfaction of which this does not form a part. In the de velopment of our industrial life we have had to make a large effort to soften and avoid grueling and me- chanical toil for long hours in close confinement. But because we have wished to prevent over-exertion and prolonged strain it must not be in- ferred that work is undesirable or harmful. There can be no human de- velopment without it. Education im- i Dlies a long and intensive application by every individual who acquires its benefits. The whole fabric of our civilization is absolutely dependent upon it. Without it there is only dis- integration and decay. Instead of be- ing a curse, we can rather say that work is the prime source of all our blessings. On a little church high on ‘ermont hillside 1 saw this inscrip- No man who lives a life of e leaves a name worth remember- Industry pays because it is Work Based on Thrift. “But work is activity for an end It always seeks to accomplish some- thing. The main object with which we usually associate it is that of material progress. This means ac- cumulation. The foundation on which this rests is the virtue of thrift. If there be any general ad- vance, any increment as a result of industry, it is because the people as a whole produce more than they use, because they save. It is only by the practice of this virtue that we can build railroads, establish industries, support commerce, enlarge agricul- ture, endow colleges, and provide places for religious worship. With- out thrift these works will not arise. “Another virtue on which we must place a great deal of emphasis is loyalty. We are all placed in posi- tions of more or less responsibility. If we think only of ourselves, we shall reap nothing but failure. When we have once made a choice, there must be loyalty to that choice. This is one foundation of the family re- lationship. When we have entered into employment, or indentificd our- selves with a party, or accepted an office, or received the benefits of cit- izenship, these obligations must be discharged with loyalty. After we have made our choice we must abide by it. Honesty is Bespeaks Faith in Hearers. “To these must be added faith. It is faith that lifts us above ourselves and gives us a strength that is not our own. We need faith in ourselves to exercise the power of our own ability and our own character. We need faith in others to secure their more complete reaction to our own efforts. Without it we could not make use of a banking system or is- sue bonds and notes which are evi- dences of indebtedness, extend any credit or make any adequate provi- sion for the future. Not to have faith in our fellow men is not to have faith in ourselves. It is to deny our mu- tual dependence upon each other and upon a Divine power.

We do not yet understand many of its ways. Whatever may appear to be the temporary power of evil, it is always overcome by the greater, per- manent power of good. Not to hold this faith appears to me to attempt to fight against the stars in their courses. Such resistance must end in destruction. Faith in God is the be- ginning of religion. “It is not necessary to refer to the desirability or my belief in the gen- eral prevalence of common sense. Fellowship Is Required. “It is perfectly evident that the development of humanity requires fellowship. The great effort of civil- ization is to provide the right to come Into fellowship among all the individuals of the human race. It has been and can be somewhat aided by legislation, but in the main it must be worked out and provided by the people themselves. It is not so much a rule of law as an attitude of mind. We cannot improve our con- dition without sympathy, friendship, love and co-operation. In one way or another we are all the recipients of benevolence and charity. We could not even exist without them. These are the spiritual elements of human relationship which need con- stant cultivation and improvement. This is not visionary, it is intensely practical. Without these sentiments, which find their most complete ex- pression around the domestic fireside, no home could be made, no family could be reared, no nation could be established. “A definite and practical standard of action for the promotion of hu- man fellowship was stated in the Sermon on the Mount with a clear- ness and precision that have never been surpassed. It has come dowa to us through all the generations as the golden rule of human conduct ‘Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets’ We must consider the other fellow. This is a perfect expression of the fraternal ideal No Satisfaction in Ease. “I have referred to these as home- ly virtues. They are known of all men. Undoubtedly they seem com- monplace. It has been relate i3 me that some one asked Henry Ward Beecher if hedid not think Christian- ity had been a failure. He replied that he could not tell, as it had never been tried. Before we hastily conclude that we can disregard the value of industry, thrift, loyalty, common sense, faith and the golden rule as adequate remedies for much that society desires to correct we might well remember that they, too, have never been fully tried. We are always Seeking for something that is new and we are likely to be impressed with whatever promises to make existence easier. But there are no satisfactions in a life of e No substitutes h: e ever yvet been found for these virtues. There can be mo substitutes. They do not re- quire any elaborate preparation in order to be put into operation. They do not rely for their use or effect upon any act of Congress or official sanction of the Government. They have that tremendous practical ad- vantage of being here, now and al- ways within the reach of all of us. “I believe that herein will be found to a very large degree the real sat- isactions of life. All of us can, if we will, become partakers of them. Tt all depends on ourselves for no one can act for us. 1 do not wish to be misunderstood, because I believe in these T would not have it thought I believe in nothing else or suppose that in our social and political rela- tions many other things do not need to be done. But these are funda- mental and necessary, they alway work. Before we conclude that the timex are altogether out of joint, that all our institutions have proven a failure, that we must have an entire new order of things, we ought to be certain that we have fully availed ourselves of the advantage of the observance of these simple, elemental homely virtues. Tt will be time enough to experiment with proposed substitutes when these have been ex- hausted. Commends Fraternalism. “It is because the fraternal spirit is an attempt to translate these ideals into daily life and action that it is entitled to so much commendation and approval. It deserves to rank among the soundest and most practi- cal efforts of the present day to bet- ter the life of mankind. It empha sizes brotherhood. It promotes fel- lowship. It alms to provide benefits which are not charity, but result from mutual service and helpfulness. It teaches Its members to consider the future as well as the present in order to provide against adversity. It pro- motes slf-reliance, self-respect, self- control and independence. The rit- uals of nearly all fraternal organiza- tions are based upon religion. No true fraternity can rest on any other conception. 1t Is for these reasons that they are supporters of the true alms of society, strong reliunces of ordered government, according to public law, able advocates of the cause of righteousness and religion, nd effective promoters of peacc and good will among the nations of the earth.” Congreas Instally Offcern.

C, COMMISSION’S ORDER CONTESTED IN COURT Manufacturers Question Right of Trade Commission to Specify In- gredients in Products. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 20.—A petition was filed in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals here vesterday in which the right of the Federal Trade Commission to define what formulas manufacturers of naphtha soap xhould follow is chal- lenged. The suit was filed by Attor- ney Charles Sawyer for the Procter & Gamble Co. and the Procter & Gam- ble Distributing Co., both of Cincin- natl. It is the eresult of an order issued by the Federal Trade Commission two weeks ago, in which the local companies are ordered to desist from advertising certain of their products as “naphtha” washing powder or soap chips. The original complaint was that the Cincinnati companies did not use naphtha in the soap powder or chips and consequently were using unfair methods in competition. The company now claims that the commission hahs no right to define what it shall use in manufacturing such products and that there are about 25 so-called naphtha soaps on the market, none of which follow the same formula in the making. The t companies to desist their ystem of advertlsing as the result of hearing. It is this order that the ympanies are seeking to have set - by the Circuit Court. Attorney stated after filing the suit court is to be asked to pro- hibit the Federal Trade Commission from going into factories throughout the country and telling the manufac- turers what they should do in prepar- ing their products for the market.
