THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK V

Preliminary Note

The Legion is a system which can be thrown out of
balance by sup pres s ing or altering any of its parts. Of it,
could the following verse have been written:-

“Pluck one thread, and the web ye mar;
Break but one
Of a thousand keys, and the paining jar
Through all will run.”
(Whittier)

So, if unprepared to work the system exactly as described
in these pages, please do not start the Legion at all. In this
connection read carefully chapter 20 “The Legion System
Invariable”.

Without affiliation to the Legion (through one of its
approved Councils) there is no Legionary membership.
If past experience is an indication, no branch of the
Legion which is worked faithfully according to rule will
fail.
