bestir ourselves and join the ranks of those 

 who are making progress that we may gain 

 their co-operation and sympathy in our work; 

 receive inspiration and be stimulated to more 

 active work ; and, finally, have our views 

 broadened and toned by those whose achieve- 

 ments are greater than ours.
