Spiritually the feelinz of brotherly love reigns over us in an unusual degree, and this greatest of soul quaiities will, gradu- ally and in the ages to come, pr:ve to e the only possible solution of (he present world troubles. Our hearts are kindiy disposed toward the others of our com- munity and we have the constant inmev urge to serve those less fortunate than ourselves.
