An essential ingredient to sustaining any worthwhile movement, purpose or cause is a supportive community. Community, in turn, is absolutely dependent upon cooperation.

Positive, united cooperation is the gateway to brotherhood. And the ongoing viability and strength of this brotherhood is measured very simply: how well the common mission is being accomplished.
