lowed by an eulogistic address. deliv-
cred by Rev. r. |. Goshen In opening
MS address Mr.. Goshen said the idea
that some people hold regarding the
selushness of the human being is ex-
aggerated. asserting that man is the
most charitable and generous living
creature on earth. Man is the only
creature who Is willing to make sacri-
nceS anu suffer personal injury that his
Fellow man may be bettered," he con-
tinued. Animals win feed their young
ana protect them only While they are
helpless and incapable. AS soon as the
small become certain age the parent
animals torsake them. With the hu-
man being. love, charity and prOtection
are lasting qualities. Man has been en-
doWed with a higher nature. with quail
lties that make him considerable of his
brother IN life, and loving even after
death"

OF these, the reverence and love with
which members hold the memories Of

Of deceased brothers marked the order
