Chairman S. C. Olmstead in his intro
ductory remarks, said:
Another year has rolled away with its
varying changes and we again find Our
selves in this house to honor cur de-
ceased brothers. 1t is only appropriate
that we should pay tribute Of respect
to the memory of those who have gone
before us to join the great host beyond
The idea Of holding a memorial serv-
ice was given its first inception little
ever a year ago, which resulted in very
large meeting But today, when we look
ever this vast audience, we cannot heip
hut pause and think of the great prin-
ciI,les of the order which We represent.
More lodges have joined in the observance
zee the interest and enthusiasm which Is
taken in the exercises. Nineteen of the
twenty lodges officially notified ne that
they would take part, and of the Degree
Of Honor societies there are at least i've
represented in body
Following Chairman Olmstead's re-
marks. Rev w. Oehler offered prayer,
and the Eureka lodge Guartette sang
Crock of Ages"
Ella H Mantor. the head of the Minnie
sofa Degree of Honor, occupied the plat
form for ten n IL utes. She spoke with
fervor of the fraternal spirit existing be-
tween the Iodgemen and lodgewomen, aud
as the shadows were with the sunshine,
the brotherly spirit should be strongest
in times of advorsity. 1t was not only
to honor the dead, but to extend SYM
pathy and material assistance to the
widows and orphans of members Of the
great Order of the United Workmen.
This, she said, was the keynote Of the
success of the organization. The progress
aud success of the order had beeen built
upon the precepts laid down by the Great
Teacher of Man. "Inasmuch as we did
it unto the least one of these There
was no tie stronger than fraternallsm
and brotherly love- Miss Mantor spoke
interestingly of the work that the women
had accomplished through the kindred
concluded by saying: Let Us be true to
our trust that we may some day catch
a glimpse of eternal glory; that our men,
DRY may be revered by coming genera
tion, as we today honor the names OF
our brothers and sisters who have passed
away during the year
Rev. c. T. Davis, of Minneapolis, de-
livered the memorial address. The senti-
ment of Memorial day, he said, was
built on the best instincts of humanity.
What man or woman would care to live
If it was known that none would mourn
his departure or respect his memory and
earthly associations? All history was q
memorial. 1t would be hard to imagine
q Christian nation without Christmas or
Easter days, the two great memorial days
Of Christendom.
He praised the great work accomplished
by fraternal societies. and said none were
better founded than the Ancient Order
OF United Workmen The gathering in
honor of the ores who had passed away
was the greatest tribute that could be
paid their memory. Every one wished to
