practical message to ail.To the men representing the lodge it must : have been a helpful talk.The lesson drawn was that of the need of men, if ;they would be successful as citizens, they must possess the three dimensions mentioned in the text.The speaker saw in the length the quality of prospecting for a find; ambition, the far look ahead, but to be made not only the most of, but the very wisest and beat use would only be the warrant for the obtaining of the greatest good.The second dimension, that of breadth, was essential to the greatest success of the first.He spoke of ite meaning sympathy in and for others, catholicity of spirit.But these two would not make the complete character, ambition and sympathy are not sufficient unto themselves; the last dimension, that of height, made a perfect trinity of qualities.It fs the act of placing our hand in that of our elder brother, Christ the keystone of the arch or t-inity of self and our opportunity.Mr.Harry Edward\u2019s solo
