He stated that he was near ing the close of a strenuous four years. The administrative duties could be discharged by any one with ordinary ability. The greatest b-urden, however, that lays On the shoulder of the Grand Master must be borne alone.

Anyone who is men’s thoughts needs a special manner. You and I the great school Christlike lesson other’s burdens, run across someone who is concern ed about the future of free masonry and is worried also about the finan cial conditions of the lodges. There has been an improvement in the last few years. There is a conception today that the Masonic Order is more than an organization; that it is a spiritual thing, that endeavors to provide an answer for human need. Because free masonry is a matter* of the heart we should in our daily lives try to demonstrate the duty we owe to our fellow citizens. We should do our own thinking, stand on tour -own feet and not repeat the headings of newspapers. We should be builders, not leaners or tearers down.
