Based On Religion “The rituals of nearly all fratern- al organizations,” Mr. Coolidge said, “are based upon religion. No true fraternity can rest on any other con- ception. Tt is for these reascns they are supporters of true aims of so- ciety, strong reliances of ordered government, according to public law, able ,advocates of the cause of righteousness and religion, and ef- fective promoters of peace and good will among the nations of the earth.” Spirit of Brotherhood The president characterized the spirit of brotherhood as the “fun- damental principle of our country.” As a result, he said, there is a "“very great deal more equality in America than is yet appreciated.” He named the niental virtues necessary to suc- cess as including industry, loyalty, faith and fellowship. “Not to have faith in our fellow men,” he continved, “'is not to have faith in ourselves. It is to deny our mutual dependence upon each other and upon a divine power. We live 29.—Fraternal- |in an ordered universe ruled by law and by the guiding power of provi- dence stars in their courses. Such resist- ance must end in destruction. Faith | |in God is the beginning of religion.” TUrges Better Understanding Again urging a Setter understand- ing among individnals, the president | declared the development of hu- manity required fellowship “The great effort of civilization 1s to provida the right to come into fellowship among all the {ndividuals | of the human race,” he said. "It has been and can be somewhat aided by legislation, but in the main it |must be worked out anhd provided by the people themselves. It is not s0 much a rule of law as an atti- tude of mind.” Mr. Coolidge confined his remarks to his chosen topic of fraternalism, | not touching at any time directly on politics and the campaign. He |spoke on the south portico with the delegates assembled on the White House lawn, Neither did the president refer by name to any particular fraternal order or secret society. In outlining his views Mr. Cool-| that | idge reminded his audience “because 1 belisve in these, T would not have it thought T nothing else, or suppose that in our social and political relations many Not ‘to hold faith appears to | ime to attempt to fight against the believe in| | other things do not need to be done.” “Befors we conclude that the times are altogether out of joint,” he continued, “that all our institu- tions have proven a failure, that we must have an entire new ordep 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. It will be time enongh to experiment with proposed substi- tutes when these have been exhaust- ed. “It is not necessary to refer to the destrability or my general be- lief In the general prevalence of | common sense.”” “Without the moving spirit of fraternity, of a common effort for {& common purpos€, our government, economlc and social organizations would at once disintegrate. When you minister to that spirlt, when you stimulate it into greater activity, you provide greater security, larger resources ,and a more harmonious life for all the people. It1s the ex- pression of the spirit of common brotherhood which makes men dg- strous to serve their own town, thelr own state and their own nation in every lawful and law-abiding way. 1t is the prime remedy for selfish- ness. “A knowledgs of these principles and these ideals is among the most precious of human possessions. They are of universal application. There are none so lacking in means, or 80 humble in position, that they are unable to avail themselves of these [blessings. Sometimes 1 have thought that we do not place emphasis enough upon the homely virtues, or sufficiently appreciate the common blessings of life, - It is far from my | purpose to criticiza ambition. It is | the chief mainspring of achievement | and progress. “We Amerlcans are constantly eriticized for tha eagerness with which we seek wealth and power. 1 doubt if we are any more avari- clous and grasping than those of {other nations, though T admit we‘ possess the ent.rprise which makes | us more successfui. 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 ail agree that they are no happler and no better satisfied than they were in their days of comparative poverty and ob- security, 876 Meningitis Deaths in 24 Hours in Japan By The Associated Press.
