ADDRESS OU CALL GUST VVESTERBERG, superimcmicnt Mood Ulvrr, Ormim INTERESTING PAPER ON "BROTHERHOOD" PnjH'r ly Ijeroy Armntrontf, read at tint meeting of the Men' brother hooil of the tutted Brethren church, June Ittli: If thin little effort of mlue shall be Intolerably dull, you may blame your preMldent, for he told me the enter tainment of the evening would be provided by that eminent traveling humorlrtt, or humorous traveler, Mr, Woodworth. It wua undented that I confine myself to Instruction and advice. I am Kfullarly qualified to give In Htructlon and advice In matters per talntng to the organization and con duct of Brotherhoods, because 1 have never either organized nor conducted one. Years ago my city editor assigned me the uuusuul duty of reporting the yacht races on Geneva Lake, near Chicago, and when I protested that I didn't know the difference between a cutboat and a catamaran, the city editor replied: "That Is why I am sending you. You will have no pre udlces." As to advice: Older people than most of those before me found much pleasure oue time In reading Owen Meredith's "Lucille." In that widely circulated and much neglected little volume you may still find these lines: "Of all the rood Ihinvs in this world around us. The one most abundantly furnished and found us. And which, for that reason, we care least about And can best spare our friends, is rood counsel. no doubt." Therefore, I advise: You have or ganized a brotherhood, the purposes of which are set out In your charter. They were read by your pastor two weeks ago at Mr. Woodworth's house. Boiled down, they may be expressed In three words: Help each other. Begin by every one In the memlHTshlp helping all the others. Help In this meeting, by making the deliberations wise, by recognizing au thority and observing order; and at all possible times adding to the In nocent pleasure of every one In the organization. Tonight would be a good time to begin. Help your brother outside when you buy of him, when you sell to blmjwben you speak of him to others, when you meet him In the street. Brotherhood Implies fatherhood, parenthood. And one attribute of that relation is authority, rind what are your laws, and obey them, and help your brother to under stand them, and obey them, too. Recognize the right to control, the obligation to olK-y, for back of the little brief authority which clothes your ollicers, which speaks In your charter, Is the controlling presence of your church; and back of that church, nnd back of all others, and back of every good effort In all the world, whatever Its name and wherever It Is found. Is the great Law which con trols, which punishes Infractions and rewards obedience. There Is no mere cant, no empty promise In the words: "Seek ye first the kingdom of right eousness, nnd all these things will be lidded unto you." When the striking teamsters In Chi cago left off sluggtug policemen long enough to wait upon Theodore Koosevelt at the Auditorium hotel, asking for an expression of sympa thy and endorsement, that true American citizen told them: "Before you ask public endorsement, restore public order. KememlH-r that In striking one policeman you are strik ing all that all the policemen stand for, for bnek of the city Is the state, and bnck of the state Is the nation. And don't forget the nation." Brotherhoods can not safely or wisely forget fatherhood order, sys tem, authority. Also, Brotherhoods imply big and little brothers. A boy, the son of n good Hood Ktver man, was walking beside me one morning when we met a business win, a busy and ti pros perous man. He spoke to me, and then culled cheerily to my young companion, "Good morning, Bob." "I tell you." said the little fellow us we passed along, "It does make a kid feel good to have a big man ieak to him." That might tx a good thing for big brothers to remember. Brotherhoods are not new. In the Christian church they are almost as old as our era, but for the most part they have lieen organized to get out of the world. Having found how dltllctilt, maybe thankless, It W to help humanity, men have retired In stils stone wnlls, nud devoted all their years to study and contempla tion. They have worn distinctive Brotherhood garb, and no one not gowned as they wn a brother. But we have one lesson at least to lenrn from them. They were In earnest. And thorn Brotherhoods which worked In the world Instead of retir ing from It, did things. In the Io nian Catholic church the Jesuits one of the biggest of Brotherhoods has much to Its credit. We must not forget Marquette and Kollet, They strove nnd BMcrll'ced for their Brotherhood nnd for their church, but they helped all mankind. Then have been Brotherhoods In crime; nnd you who follow the cable grams In eastern papers must e amazed at the strength and Influence of the Camora that brotherhood In Italy, which we cannot understand, aud which all that Is fair and good In the Italian nation must condemn. But the point Is: A Brotherhood well adhered to gets results. Your own Is better than the Broth erhood of the monks, and far worth ier than any which forgets that back of the charter and the official board stands the church, and back of the church the Immutable laws of God. Instead of withdrawing from the world and letting humanity go hang if It wants to, you will help human ity. You will make men look back with pleasure to your past meetings, and forward with delight to others that are to come. You take lire as It Is, and make It a little stronger, a little cleaner, a little happier, and a little better. And the pay Is big. No one can help others without himself being helped. They are happiest who make others happy. They are purest who have done the most to make others and keep others pure. They are most sure of a good life hereafter who help their fellow men live a good life here.
