An address is coming in clear and very interesting. We :feel it is a Lion, but it turns out to be a Rotarian.The International Piesi- dent, Edward Johnston, I believe, from Tennessee. He was speaking before the Brantford, Ont., Rotary Club, and had taken him almost , around the was on this way home from a trip that world and occupied -a good part o? - a year, as well as coating him a goodly sum of money. Here is a busy man. How do I tknow? Because I know that you never find an idler occupy- ing the International President's chair in any of the great service organisa- tions. Here -is a contribution to ser- vice this man has sM up, and I ask: What was the tilling influence in his life that made him 'do this thing? Again I tern back the leaves and an- other man enters. This time a China- man, who came all the way from his native land, a delegate to the Lions International ' Convent ion in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1928. He was a bril- lient orator and as I read :his address the word 'applause' was pet down. so often, and you could feel the force of his words, when it came time for hira to take his leave he was very much affected, because they had Lionized "fan in no .small way. Hee staid, "This is one of the great nionients1 of my life. Yesterday I came- to yod a stranger—to-day I know you • as friends. My own...,words are not good enough to tell you my good-bye, for all your hospitality, and so I use the words of another." Here he quoted a poem which 'I thought very beauti- ful, so much so that I committed it to memory,. but memory is a fickle thiog, and I could only recall three v erses (there were seven altogether) but they Will give you some idea of his feelings: ., .

And Again I ask you what was it that indluencedhim to make such a contribution' to service? And now let Me take you 'on: a long journey both iti miles and in memory, to the town ef Fort Frances, in Arizona, -where we find 56 years ago a. 'baby boy was born, and they' called him :Melvin Jones. This the same 'man we extend birthday greetings to to- night. He grew up in a good home; his father was a Scout for the Gov- ernment and his job was to protect the settlers from Indian( tribesmen. That tells you there was lots of color in that biome for a growing boy. He received a2-toodeducation, and in 1900, at•the' age of 20 years, he came to Chicago to study law and take Sing- ing les:eons. Law be .gave up, but made a great success in music, be- ing oons4dered one of the foremost tenors in. the city. He entered the in- •surance business and after a number of successful years he started the Melvin Jones Insurance Co. With all his success he could not find satisfac- tion; he always felt there should be something more to life, and one day —call it a vision if you will—some- thing swept into this young man's soul, and he called a number of bis friend's _into his office and laid his plans before' them, and they gave hint unanimous support. He started 'at once to write to cities and towns all over the States where he could find there was, a men's club organized. After three years he called a meeting and 25 delegates came, representing 50 towns and cities, and that night, June 7, 1917, Lionism was born into this world and the framework of the present constitution WfIS Bet up. That same year a national convention was called in Dallas, Texas, on October 11. He was elected secretary and from that day to this- he has neves laid down his pen, and is to -day Secretary General of Lions International. -( would like to give you something That nothing can overthrow, The peever to smile, and laugh the As through life you go. But these are mere fanciful wishes, 1'1,1 wish you God speed insteadt, When I clasp your hand, you'll under- • stand The things I have left unsaid. And then be took his way hack to 7 have been the result. Then come that Lions night of nights, the Hallowe'en Frolic—everybody happy, music, free horne and bags of candy, 2,500 people crowding into the rink; "was you there, Charlie?". Next the Christmas tree came before me; almost covered with ,electricighte, everyone of them shouting "Merry Christm•as" to all who could bear; 600 stockings for tlionkid- dies 150 basisets of good cheerfor three wtho• had it net; god old Santa, Claus. And next, I dropped into one of our meetings—it was ladies' night. What a setting; so much .charm, so much cheer, so much chatting, and just so Much chicken. But that was not all: • There sat 15 men, each one wearing a Ohervon, marking ten years of service., in Seaforth Lions Club. Think of it! And: almost another 15 sitting there wearing perfect attend- ance buttoner- telling the world, 'we attend our meetings, then I thought of the contacts made, of course there were hisertetne partings, but I refer later And ,hereis what • happened next, right in • my ow a Lions Club. There came to me an answer to all my questiOning, came to me in one word, a big words, will big with mean- ing, "Gootifellowstip." Many interpre- tations might be given to this word but for Lions there is only one–it comes to -us' from a man named Kohler—this is all we, know about him, but When we coined this quota- tion and put down his name, he left a gem that will live as long and wherever good men get together. Here it is, "Gisod fellowship is one of the elemental things rooted in man, with good and evil, love and hate; its tem - p15 .e are wherever good men get to- gether. its shrines and sanctuaries •in the hearts of men, more than, the im- petuous comradeship of youth.' It is the settled faith of men in men, pos- ing all boundaries of notion, creed or nailing; it'asks only the open heart the cheerful countenance, the honest purpose. Its password is the kindling eye, its pledge the hearty hand. its finest messages are unspoken, it is the golden age made manifest.' Rites, religious, men and memories pass, good fellowship remains, 'for its is eternal love of life, eternal faith, eternal charity and cheer. As I committed these lines to memory it seemed to me there was a sermon in every sentence. I felt it shouldhang alongside the Lions Code of Ethics, and as if to still further impress it upon me, I received through the mail one day a pamphlet from International lieed office, and in It was an extract from an address delivered by Melvin Jones, and here are his words: "I believed when I first read this quota- tion and I still believe that Kohler's definition of Goodtellowsbip is just Lionism." And: Melvin Jones never spoke truer Words. After reading this thought I would compare those two words and 'here I submit a few thoughts that came to me. "Good - fellowship is one of the elemental As I checked over the Mend this man, I thought what a satisfaction it must be .to him to -day, to stand and see this great force which -he set in mo- tion and which we are proud to call Lionism; to see it operating in al - meet 3,000 communities and making better the lives of nearly 90,000 mem- bere. Is it any wonder we toast his memory here to -night? And here comes again the question; What does this man, possess that makes him snch a power with hii fitIll.ows? At this point I found myself making a mental survey of my own Lions Club. My mind as it ever "turnts again home" mind as it ever "turns again home" this, Lions, was by far the most inter- esting part of my story. It was a personal thing; I was helping de things; there lay the swimming pool with all its effort and expenditure, and worth to -day many times over eife ery day's work, and every dollar spent; then I thought of the free clinics Sponsored by our club at Scott Memorial Hospital. You can't mea- sure the benefits and blessing's that things rooted in man with good_ and evil, love and hate." That just means you and it means me.' Dere We site with all our faults, each one of ,us building a life; some of the buildings are nearer completion. than 'others; but what an existence this' life .*ould be were it not for the fact that root- ed in each one of us, blended into our lives, is that saving grace of. Good - fellowship, of Lionism if you will. "Its temples are wherever. good men get together; its shrines and sanctuaries in the hearts of men." ,•ect•A This is the. temple.; (glacvn- ism 15. Seaforth. Flee.* we meet, .discuss and plan our activities and. speaking modestly here, I think we might •consider ourselves' good men. Certainly the record of this club is not a record of bad men— "more than the impetuous comrade- ship of youth; it is the settled faith of men in men." Here he strikes his highest note, the comradeship of youth 1s alright, but it Won't do; he puts it over to the men and tells us to try and cultivate, not only faith in one another, but go a step further and get if we can that settled faith in each other. This is the teaching of Lion - ism, the very essence.. of Goodfellow - ship. "Passing all boundaries of na- tion, creed or calling, it ashe only the open heart, the cheerful countenance, the honest purpose." Here he brusb- es to one side ' those who set them- selves up on a little throne of their onn, because tliey belong to a certain nationality or certain creed, or have been born into • position or social standing, but he stops at the open heart. "Its password is the kindling eye. its pledge the hearty hand, its, .flnest messages are unspoken." As we meet here every fortnight we know something of the ffindliu-g eye and often we rend the unspoken word behind it. We also know the hearty hand, when trouble comes to a Lion or to a friend, It's our job to offer our help and sympathy. Then in closing he doesn't weaken any. He tells' en' it is not a fleeting thing, but reacheti on even unto, eteinity, "Rites relig- ious, men and measures pass, good felleenship, Lionism if • you will, re- mains" for its eternal love of life, eternal forth, eternal charity and che,er, This. Lions, is my defence for the statement I made at the begin- ning that the three hours we spend ' here are important hours. it is also my testi mbny to Lionisin, and here is my closing word:, You will, I know, forget. most of what I have said; you may forget all of it, but I want to, present each one of yeti with a p10- tire—one that will remain with you. It is just a pictpre of your own Lions Club—every member present to an- swer the roll call, not a vacant chair; those we have loved and lost I'm not forgetting; their pictures are inset be- cause we realize -here to -night they are and ever will continue to be a Barr vital part of this, our Liens Club ot. Seaforth.
