that unless steps were taken in the
near future in 1118 direction to erecting

There is no doubt but that such on

ly benefited thereby.
The ritualistic work will comprise
one degree which will be effective for
educational purposes and instructing
new members in. the aims and objects
of the League. .-
The done. work will be a radical
departure from the present methods
of secret fraternal societies, being
based on modern economic conditions
rather than on ancient his’oory or one
tome, inculcating the higher ideals of
liberty peace and justice for the ad-
vancement of civilisation. It is believ-
ed that those tortunate enough to wit-
ness this degree will be benefited by
having a higher conception of life and
will be thoughtful exponents of those
higher ideals which seek justice in hu-
man life.
