Brethren, as we start this year, we are faced with a challenge to show the world and prove to ourselves that we can live up to one of our important precepts - Charity.
The Masonic Brotherhood Fund Campaign is a beacon light for each and every one of us to be guided by, for the very significance of its import for the welfare of mankind will go down in the annals of Masonic history as the greatest united effort that has ever been staged, inspired by one common purpose.
May this campaign symbolize to the world at large that our Fraternity has been
erected upon certain basic principles that challenges every man to give of his best for this great world wide service which recognizes the needs of all mankind regardless of race, color or creed. The need is ever great for the relief of Masons, their widows and orphans but our drive for the foundation, study and treatment of rheumatic fever will provide outside relief neyer before dreamed of by any worldwide brotherhood.
A Campaign Committee has been appointed and names selected for solicitation from the roster as Grand Lodge has advised.
If any member has not been contacted by one of our Committee members, it may be that your residence is outside of the immediate locality of our Lodge, in which event you will be reached by letter from either the secretary or some member of the Campaign Committee, and be advised as to how your subscription card be mailed. We must have all contributions in before Grand Lodge convenes in May.
Brethren, please take heed of this great worthwhile cause and be ever mindful that
it is a challenge to us to place ourselves or famiily in a like destitute situation so that we may be guided by our hearts to give as liberally as we feel these necessities might require.
FOSTER H. LITTLE, Chairman,
Brotherhood Fund Campaign.
