A TRIBUTE TO THE FEDERATION, by                    
First Line: Let us consider some of the things

Subject(s): Clubs (associations)


Let us consider some of the things
That Federated club work brings!
Method and system and precision,
A wider outlook, a clearer vision;
Exactitude and care for details,
Impartial Judgment that rarely fails.
A broader outlook upon life,
Co-operation without strife;
Inspiration and atmosphere,
Self-expression without fear;
The urge to create,
To discuss, to debate;
Tolerance and sympathy,
Broad-mindedness and Charity.
A tendency to nourish
And help all talent to flourish;
The will to encourage expression,
To combat and discourage repression,
To be ourselves, without fear or favor;
When we've made a decision, not to waver.
To rise above petty differences,
For once and for all, to be free of these;
This is the campaign that we plan,
This is our duty to God and Man;
To live in an atmosphere rarefied,
Purified and clarified,
Where thought reigns King,
And blossoming,
Brings forth, as from a cocoon,
Fruit that is worthy of the loom.
Other and varied activities,
All on the same high plane as these,
The State and General Federation
Are fostering throughout the nation.
