The essential feature of universal brotherhood is common origin, present struggle, and future hope; the essential feature of racial, national, or community brotherhood is patriotism; the essential feature of brotherhood of the order is mutual helpfulness; the essential feature in brotherhood of the profession is common pursuit; in brotherhood of the family, common parentage; in conjugal affection, attraction for opposite sex; in parental and filial love, love of offspring and love of parent; while in friendship the essential feature is harmony of natures.

His service was no mere soft and pliant, sympathetic helpfulness, but it could smite and stab, and be severe, and knit its brow, and speak stern words, as all true service must. For it is not service but cruelty to sympathise with the sinner, and say nothing in condemnation of his sin. And yet no sternness is blessed which is not plainly prompted by desire to help.

It must strive for strength as it grows against whatever may befall it.

Hetherington, rather breathlessly, confirmed her suspicion. "He fought about you Ole Fred said you'd been in his cabin, and young Mr. Fame went for him," she said enviously. "Of course I've been in his cabin. It's Jimmy's cabin I had to get Jimmy's clean things," she said indignantly. Mrs. Hetherington put on an air of helpfulness.
