"Rotary,*; he said, "is indefinable. To define ityou must confine it, and if you eonfme it, it dies," he declared. "The ideal of Rotary, 'Service Above Self,' is a goal that is not reached literally by- mortals and the nearest that we cab hope to attain this de sirable height is a continuous prac tice of tbe-tJolderr Rule, 'Do unto oth ers as you would have them do unto | you'." y . Declaring that no man ever gets out of life:more than he puts into it and that no club or organization ever lives that does not give back to the world more than it receives, the speaker c&sed his address with the ) following ines: - r That man can last but never lives Who much receives and nothing g ves, Whom note can love, whom none can I thank, c Creation'si blot, Creation's blank. inspiration t?. diseassed. * program a# acthntr for the club dcring the coming year.
