A. K., was founded. It is founded on three great principles— fraternity charity and loyalty. And may I ask here today, are there in all the cata logue of human virtues three more noble, ntoro worthy than those on which our order was founded? Fra ternlty that hinds us together as com rades; that causes us to remember those days when we marched together, when we suffered together, when we triumphed together, when we slept un der the same blanket and drank from the same canteen. Charity that prompts us to the noblest efforts for the destitute wards of our Grand Ar my. and causes us to gather round our altars and before high Heaven swear that no worthy comrade living within the jurisdiction of our fort shall suf fer want or be buried in the Potter's field.
