Tribute to Deceased.
My Brothers. Almost without
warning the summons to the Lodge
above came to our Brother Cava
naugh. He stood at the threshold Of
life; strong and vigorous, valiant and
hopeful, his outlook must have been
pleasing and inviting. The head of a
devoted family, successful in business,
with hosts of friends, with happy
sunny disposition, he had much to
live for.
We, his brothers, who knew him
well and loved him, who appreciated
his warm interest, his kindly thought
fulness, his welcome presence, are
now, as we gather about his lifeleas
body, appalled-we know not what to
say-we know not what to think.
Our spirits faint before this new and
dreadful cause of dread of that
''Dpa1lV assassin that Strik ST down
the fair
The loved, the good-that breakest
on the lights
OF virtue set along the vale OF
life,
And they go out in darkness"
We recall his form, his features, his
bright, keen mind, his tireless activ-
ity, his contagious enthusiasm, his
ready wit, his high sense of honor, his
devotion to our order, his love for
the brothers, and, doing So we meas
ure our loss. We weep, we mourn,
for here and now we feel that indi-
vidually and as a lodge We have
suffered an irreparable loss. we
shall meet, but we shall miss him"
But my brothers, sorrow not even
as others which have no hope" Our
dear, departed brother would have
been the first to point to our star Of
hope and fidelity, ever shining
through the darkest clouds of grief
and dependency.
There is no death! What seems
so is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb Of the life elysian
our affliction, fill our souls with for
Let the cardinal principles of our
order in this dark hour sustain us in
our aftliction, fill our souls with for
titude, open to our visions vistas Of
duty, nerve US for the daily trials of
our manhood and prepare US to pass
TRANQUILITY and with trust and conf
dence into the Eternal Lodge, when
the Grand Exalted Ruler Of the Uni
verse shall call us.
May charity representing our fun
duty in life and i'm religion, ruls our
thoughts toward our absent and our
present brothers, and towards all
men, now and always.
But he who marks, from day 10
day,
In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Savior
trod-
The path of glory and to God"
May white-robed Justice guide our
atcions rule our conduct and impeil
up to live a life measuring up fully
to the Golden Rule.
There is no place where earth's
sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's
failings
Have such kindly judgment
given"
May brotherly love fill our hearts
that we may forget self I'm consider
ing the rights, needs and wishes OF
others; that We may help and en-
courage each other i'm every laudable
endeavor; that we may protect our
brothers from all attacks upon their
persons, characters and regulations;
that we may say OF ourselves, as Elks,
as il was sung of a holier commuu-
ion
I'VE share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows,
The sympathiZing tear"
And now thou earthly temple Of
that immortal spirit we knew and
loved so well, We bid thee farewell
for thou shalt PASS from our sight
fOrevermore In thy place and stead
a more glorious body shall arise, for
the habitauon through eternity of our
Brother CaVanaugh.
