"But little less marvelous and truly of as much importance is the advancement of business methods in the iast few decades. Time was rvhen men thousht that business and kindness would not mix. Time lrras .l"het , comDetitor was an. enemy and was so treated. Time was when the golden rule was tho-ught to be purely religious and had no fart in the active affairs of men. It was not so very long ago, be_ li,eved by many men that a sure way to wieck a" brisiness was to be fair, kind, honest and truthful.

"But a. change has come and is yet coming. Business men are. becoming truly fraternal and are find-ing out that the golden rule is not only a religious term, but"is a prac- tical every-day successful-rule oflife and fiis everv honest undertaking

"The. outstanding successes of the day have been built upon the principle that we should do dito others as we would have others do unto us. The application of this idea.by whatever name it may have be&- called, whether s,ervice, humanitarian, altruistic or just plain faiiness, has done more to make your business what jt is than has any other.agency and thit is the fraternalism of which I spea(.

"Visualize if you will for a moment what it would mean to-u.s as,a people if the golden rule should be put into the ailarrs ot government,

"I believe that it will be conceeded without al.gument that.the. most.expensive, recklessly extravagant ancl"unfeell-ng -buslness rn our country today is the business that we do for all the people.

"Is it not becaus-e the golden rule is not applied?

"Our laws are framed and enforced rvitn iiitte thought of the. grea_t mass of comm_ol people lvho can hardly-make both ends meet. Our public men think in terms of the in- fluential and not enough for the good of those rvho have no time to think and have but-little, il a|y, personal influence.

"We are our brother's keeper. Men must be fraternal. Men can afford to be fraternit; it pays.,'

Following Brother Bullen's fine iddress, adjournment was made to the hotel basement where twelve blind kittens were initiated into the mysteries of Hoo-Hooism in such a. manner that the memoiy thereof will long linger with them.
