As long as we háve dedicated and
aiert fraternal leaders, so long will
fraternalism prospers. “Who does the
best his circumstances allow, does
well, acts nobly.” Today as ever
before, people everywhere will always
welcome “a loving heart, an
understanding mind and heiping
hand.”
Were we to detail alí of the grand
deeds performed by fraternal societies
which in effect were expressed through
the practice of fraternalism, chiefly
aimed at extending its humanitarian
concept of helpfulness and to make
this work a better one, it would také a
good - size book. To mention but a few
of the major projects, however, can be
included: protection of the home and
famiiy life, patriotic Service to the
nation, and suspension of war clause
in periods of strife, and promotion of
good fellowship in our lodge facilities
as well as educating our young people
to good citizenship.
***
Ií is an exhiiarating experience, to
read of the various undertakings being
carried out by our lodges and districts
in most parts of the statě. Yet, not all
of our lodges are so involved, not even
a majority of them.
By showing interesí we cannot oniy
increase our activity but also retain the
feeiing of fraternity among the lodge
members and allow friends and
neighbors oř the members to become
acquainted with some of the work
being carried on in the SPJST.
Our Society was founded by a group
of pioneers who were not afraid of
making mistakes in the pursuit of
goals. But if mistakes were made they
were overcome by new effort. No work
yet has ever been doně without
mistakes. What matters is that in the
end the work is accomplished and one
continues to go forward.
Let us all share in our membership
and what it affords, let us actively
share in the life of the organization
and let us not be afraid of the work or
mistakes -- One of the most fraternal
acts we can do for our fellow citizens
with good morals, etc., is to ask them
to také out SPJST life insurance and
become an interested and fraternal
member.

Fraternalism represents not one
particular faith or creed, but all of
them! Fraternal benefií societies
among which our SPJST ranks high in
esteem, háve through the years proven
that they are worthy of confidence and
háve lived up to the principle of being
“their brothers’ keepers.” We must

fraternal builders, a long list of honest,
