YOU journey to the First International Conference at Cleveland, to hear the Traditions confirmed. You do not hear the Traditions confirmed. Six fine looking men, from varying walks of life, with varying ages of sobriety--interpreted. Bill summarized: The Traditions are lessons gained in experience, written physically by his hand, actually by the Group Conscience; he thanked God that he had never been allowed to assume a mantle of leadership or authority. Then you found that you had risen to your feet with every other person there, and were adding your little bit, to the thunderous and steady applause. No--you did not hear the Traditions confirmed. You felt them confirmed.
