520			_aAway back fifty years ago, Paul Harris loved his neighbors so That thoughts created by this man Evolved into a world-wide plan. A few good friends in his home town Each week would meet, and rotate 'round From place to place and luncheon eat; And ways to serve would humbly seek. It must be God was well impressed With men who as they stopped to rest, Devoted thoughts to helping those Who could not stand the world's cruel blows. The movement grew by leaps and bounds, And soon had spread to other towns Where men of any faith might live; With will to work and serve and give. Unselfish motives, as expressed By objects filled with Godliness, Soon spread through States the nation wide; And towns throughout the countryside. Then other nations longed to know, Why Rotary had come to grow From just one Club in one home town To countless Clubs the world around. Now fifty years have slipped away Since first, men met that glorious day. For fifty years, the thoughts they had Have been at work subduing bad. 'Tis fitting that we now rejoice, That all the world has heard the voice That prophesies a world of peace Where selfishness of man must cease. 'Tis well to know there is a force Unerring, holding to its course, That takes no part in conflicts small; But spreads its love for good of all. - ROBERT C. BEATTIE Rotarian Waterford-Drayton, Mich.
