Memorial Day unites the sorrowful
memories for the dear departed and
the joyful memories of their benevolent
dolngs, and elevates our hearts and
minds in the sweet sorrow of compla-
cency as we think of the departed and
feel their brotherly love.
AS stood the Prophet on Mount Ho-
reb, so stand we upon the monument
OF benevolent acts raised by our
brother Elks who have gone before,
and, hiding our faces in the mantle
listen to the still small voice, |
saying: :" And now abideth Faith, |
Hope, Charity. these three, but the |
greatest of these is Charity and the |
Infinite Exalted Ruler is in that voice: |

". H McInerny disclosed the fact that |
lie is an orator of ability. His address
throughout teemed with fervent ex-
oressions of the work for fellowmen |
,arried on by the B. P. o. E. The ad-
iress was scholarly effort. He said in
part: "One year ago we assembled |
n this same hall to publicly proclaim !!
'ur love for our departed brothers, and |
o perpetuate their memories. To the
elk this is one of the dearest and most |
duties of the order. We are
assembled here again today to eulogize
'ur dead and to deliver the lesson of
'ur love. Since the origin Of our local |
odge eleven brothers have passed from
Is. Eleven vacant chairs of brothers
mark the places of our deceased COM
AIDES. Eleven kindly voices that so
'ften echoed in sorrow and sympathy
or others have gone never to be heard
gain.
Anthony in his Grafton over the body
# Caesar proclaimed that the evil that
men do lives after them, the good is
1T inferred with their bones. How
different in the brotherhood of Elks.
The good deeds of our brothers we
hisel into slabs of granite and their
aults we bury deeper than the grave,
han the unfathomable depths of ocean,
nto everlasting oblivion.
