Repeating the story of Giles Marner, Mr. Webb declared that there arc many such in this land, who seem to love gold more than humanity. One great mission of your fraternities is to R'ttil airart this spirit which ta creating a dollarized society. There Is scarcely a vocation that Is free from It. Thla passion for money has stained almost every page of human history. , "When I remember the efforts and monev soent by fraternal orders to relieve suffering and help the needy ray heart glowa with optimism. Let us determine that this ragweed of avarice Khali not be the product our mental activities, but let us resolve to make this fair State a garden of peace, happiness and culture, of brotherlv love, clinginsr to the faith that God is the father of all men and all men are brothers."
