EXTRACTS FROM THE ELO QUENT ORATION DELIVERED BY HON. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS AT THE MEETING IN THE DRIVE FOR THE FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL, HELD AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL ON MONDAY EVENDNG, SEPTEMBER 19. "I am here tonight to offer my views in a cause that should know no race, no creed and bear no cloud of race prejudice. In this meeting and for the sacred purpose you gather, there should be no Tevival of past dif ferences political or personal. Every thing'and everyone should be brought together in one harmony to make success certain, and complete fn the humane things you-ar undertaking. "I wantT'you to know that I am conscious of an antagonistic feeling to myself among some of you. I told Editor Taylor, when he called on me to present the invitation for your Committee, that I knew some of your Deode bore to me an attitude of un- kitfdness, and others one of prejudice. That this was due to the position which I took in the poltical campaign in my race for Governor. I have no apology to. offer for any act or word of mine, done or uttered. I do re gret, however, that a mere part of a speech received circulation and a meaning in the minds of many which would never have followed had the whole .speech and all that it meant been .given to the public Newspaper are limited in their space and in po litical matters print only Ihe striking expressions They seldom have space to print that which follows or went before, which would have given com plete justification of the text of the orator. I Uuly bope that at some time all .those who are interested in tny-?po5jtion wilUfind the full utter ance; and uon tnat give whatever IVti'imaa 1 1 UI Ovui 1 r HON. EDWARD F, DUNNE Ex-Mayor of Chicago, Ex-Governor of the State of Illinois, and President of the National Unity Cotmcfl,' Which Organization Will Fight the Ku KIux Klan to the Bitter End. judgment their sense of justice would dictate. . "Since I have referred to this mat ter of prejudice, let me say that one of the reasons I am here is to help in an undertaking which I feej will do more to melt away the race prejudice than any other agency that could have been entered up on by you all. Here is the beginning of a structure reared to humanity and christened in reli giona hospital for the sick the equipping of nurses and the mainten ance of them all that a cooling hand may be laid upon a fevered brow, the distressed body healed, the sad soul comforted, and the helpless and mis erable succored and saved. This is the fulfillment of the great mission of the Samaritan. It gives example of that holy mission when the great Master said: "I was sickand ye visited me." "When you have built this struc ture and entered upon your humane work; and. our white citizens will see that their gifts of generosity have borne such fruit of Christianity and .humanity, they will feel as though each are as one of you and when you look upon this: handiwork of those who are your laborers, who have done this thing in your name, you will say: "This is the monument of friendship and by that you will again worship that union of charity that knows no race nor color. It is this which will cement all our people in the considerations of. charity and forbearance. It will do much to end that great injustice where, when some Negroes violate the laws of God and man, all Negroes are at once blamed and where some whites, who, for getful of charity or Justice, persecute and oppress some Negp, have the whole of their offenses shifted, to the shoulders of the whole white race. "We have paid .out .of our treasury milh'ons' of dollars to the depressed -..-. :f- The Chicago National r nations of the earth and the oppressed peoples of the world. It is now time that we turned about to see the need of our own people and view their mis ery and to begin our charity at home. Let the rich now know that out of the money they have taken from the people by the privileges of the law, the sum they give back to your cause is merely paying to the people that tribute they owe to the needs of their fellow man and which Is due as a contribution of their faith and reli gion. Let them know that they are welding together a people of human ity and wiping out those prejudices Lwhich have done so much to incite disorder and to plant the seeds of hatred. Let them know that they are building for themselves as well as for yourselves, and that in establish ing this hospital of relief to the suf fering they are raising up a habitation of peace and unity of citizenship, and giving to themselves the security of friendship and harmony. This is their reward on earth, and in the future hours they have the sweet consolation that the great voice that proclaimed in the first century the doctrine of rewardst still whispers to each: "As ye did it unto the least- of these, ye did it unto Me."

Mr. Chairman Illustrious Potentate, Chief and Assistant Rabbans, Grand Master of the State of Illinois, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Commandress of the daughters of Isis, daughters, Reverend W. D. Cook and friends: Behold how good and how- pleasant it is for brethercn to dwell together in unity! It is -with distinguished pleasure that I have been accorded, the honor of addressing this Noble Order of the Mystic Shrine on this our annual meeting. I have only been allowed twenty minutes, such a short time for me to talk to you, I have deemed it advisedly to submit my thoughts to writing. No institution of ancient or modern times has done more for the up lifting of the" human race, and the! upbuilding of wjiat is known "as society, than the Order which-we represent. The secret Order of Freemasonry is one of the' most inspiring and ele vating influences of civilization and its power for good is as limitless as its lessons are far reaching. -.' The search and - the longing for merely material things is Abound to bring distress and 'disaster.

What would the United States, the so called home of th brave, land of the free, the place where you and I and our forefathers have given so much ofj our effort both in labor and in blood be, had it not been for the band of I devoted men. those godly people, of ' undaunted courage, who braved every danger to found a nation where spirituality and brotherly love should prevail and rule? Second only to the church has been the influence wielded by our Order whose noble precepts and incentives to higher purposes has made it a , power for untold good. And many a deed of unsung heroism has been done in the cause of Freemasonry, that its teachings might live 'and its secrecy be undehjeg, JiquallT-connta Ies are the cood deeds donesti nane done;, for" no prospective'rej nor selfish; renumcration.. v WJut wethave dQris--rar.iiistr2dlh spHof' traternaT ' npfalaess love Tor our-fellaWmenf - Since the foundation of Solomdnjs Temple, when Freemasonry ' was founded, to the present day, this great body has kept its original forms and laws. Human thought has not been able to improve upon them, nor. adverse criticism to change them, for they hold the fundamental truism of life, and shed from the radiant altar of their holy purpose, the b"ght-of divine truth. The world's greatest men have been and are Masons, its most ' famous warriors; its most gentle scholars. Within the realms of the Order these beings of diverse occupa tion, of one common mind, hayejmet in the broad communion oftirotherly love. .?. Could self-interest, greedy venality; and kindred shortcomings of human-1 ity be eliminated and the watchword of our Order be emblazoned on every heart and in every home, this w6fd would be within the hail of . the ' millennium. - ' For centuries the black man' has been, through circumstances and-en vironments, degraded, and oppressed.
