thought. It is a toast which is not
generally understood. To do so it is
necessary TO appreciate the charitable
&. or benevolent side OF the order, which
derives its name from the American
elk, an animal described as strong of
limb, fleet of foot, keen of PERCEPTION,
and at the same time. gentle. timid,
and unaggressive, Save-when attacked.
Its prototype in the biped Elk is quick
to hear the cry of distress, fleet of foot
TO succor the unfortunate. and by his
strength exercise a protective interest
for the weak and defenseless.
The following pOem-"The Absent
Ones"-which fs often drunk as the IL
o'clock toast, breathes the sentiments
of the order. and at the same time
gives a better idea as to what that
toast really is than does anything else
ever written about and dedicated to
the organization. The lines follow:
The Absent Ones.
As the hour grows late and our work is
We turn our thoughts to the absent one.
The absent ones we know not where,
In this wide world with all It's care.
ne may be sailing DER the bounding sea,
Or in some place in a far land be.
or. perhaps. in some far. unknown
Ponderins Ger his past career;
Or. at the helm of some great trust.
Solving a mystery deep In DUST
Or. likely, on some biood-stained field.
In quest of victory. with gun and shield
or down with the divers in the waters
Seeking for something for me and you;
Or. far away. amid ice and cold.
To satisfy craving for earthly gold;
Or. deep in the tropics. with its torria
He gives his life for a bite to eat;
Or. cast away on some desert isle,
He Graves for the sight of favorite
smile;
Or. far into some dark. stained wild,
He longs for home. for wife and child;
To earn a mite to keen body sound;
Or. studying some problem with unbound
ing zeal.
To tighten our woes. to brighten our
veal:
With little the thought of what tomorrow
he sees:
Or. here at home. beside dear child.
Or. easing the hours of mother. whose
Is sanity given as she goes far above;
Or. perhaps. with father. whose days are
done.
Receiving farewell due dutiful son:
Or, at the bedside OF q blessed wife
He asks that God will spare her life;
Our brother NAV be rich and searching
for more
Or poor and distressed. sick, heartsore:
Or lost in deep sorrow. with a seourging
He looks Ger the past bright days of
fame
Whatever he be. or wherever he be,
Let us drink to his memory:
For ne knows at II. throughout Eikdom,
He'll be remembered as the absent one
We teach in our work. and try by deed.
To show the world our teachings we heed
We extoi the virtues of brotherly love,
And Justices decree we seek from above.
