Many attend daily Mass and receive the sacraments. Some even celebrate Mass. 3. Ecumenism among all Churches and religions. Ecumenism has indeed grown in concept. It is no longer concerned with understanding and goodwill among Christian churches; it has reached out for understanding aixjl goodwill with non-Christian churches and religions. Among themselves, with their various religious beliefs, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and others, meet in sincere tolerance, be lieving that equally, they are children of one God. For centuries, Freema sonry has been teaching and propa gating this kind of ecumenism under our well-known ideal: the brotherhood of Man under the fatherhood of God. 4. Ecumenism betzveen Freemasons and Knights of Columbus. Two international fraternities, the Knights of Columbus and Freema sonry, the first founded in mid-nine teenth century and the second found ed in early eighteenth century, have not seen eye-to-eye for a long time.

The bud opens and blooms, a lovely flower, so shall the youth of today grow and bloom with beauty and happiness in their hearts. Happiness comes to their hearts from seeing something beautiful each day, saying a kind word each day and doing a good deed each passing day. Happiness comes from the very heart, the bud of the flower. In closing may I encourage all of you to smile tenderly and radiate a warm loving heart, extend a helping hand to the young sons and daughters of today. These Buds of Promise, Make the Garden of Tomorrow. A NUEVA ECIJA TEMPLE... From page 16 The ceremonies went off vervA-ell and impressed the Masons and non Masons and their families who were present.
