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

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. Recall"

forefathers have given so much ofj

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

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.
Generations- passed, and until' within
the memory of living, man, knowledge
has beep denied him. The last few:
years has seen a change and soor-we
will take our stand among the -rest
of mankind, bis mental, physical, and
