International President, Edmund F. Arras.
(TO KIWANIS CONVENTION)
Standing as we do today, upon the eminence of seven years of service and achievement, we can look back over the way we have come and evaluate, with greater appreciation, the labors of the pioneer days of Kiwanis.
The present structure stands as an incomparable monument to the untiring amalgamation of service and fellowship, which reflects glory upon the officers whom you, at Atlanta, honored with the trust and responsibility of directing the leviathan Kiwanis, upon the voyage of the current year.
The knowledge that thousands of Kiwanians join in the pleasure of the honor which has come to us, making our gratitude even greater. With honor comes responsibility, equaled only by the dynamic strength and wisdom, which comes from the assurance of an unbroken line of eighty thousand co-operating Kiwanians.
Upon the foundation of our Golden Rule philosophy, we build a distinctive membership in the belief that Clubs, Districts and International are like individuals, subject to God's immutable moral laws, and that we can achieve worthy honors and true greatness only through honest dealing and unselfish service.
The covenant of the past is entrusted to us in memoriam, that we may keep it in safety and with added honors pass it on to those of the future, who will render a greater service and share added glory.
May we have your esteem and prayers that by deeds we shall demonstrate our gratitude, rather than by the pauperism of words.
