George Barr McCutcheon' s
"Graustark" will be seen at the OPP
era house October 13. Those who
have read the book can best appre-
ciate the charm of this exquisite
story of love and intrigue. George d.
Baker, a young playwright, drama
tized the novel, retaining all the in
teresting moments of the book, and
when this is said, it is little wonder
that the play made such decided
hit and had extended engagements
in both New York and Chicago. A
sixty foot car load of scenic, electri-
cal and costume effects are carried
as a mounting to this gem of ro-
mantle drama.

Brothers of the Order, Ladies OF the
Auxiliary, and friends:

Brothers of the Order, Ladies OF the
Auxiliary, and friends:
We are here gathered to enshrine
afresh in our hearts the memory Of
our dear, departed dead.
They quit the scenes of this earth
life and are escaped into the unspeak-
able peace beyond the stars. For
them the mists of time have dissolved
and the realities Of eternity dawned.
We have scattered flowers on their
windowless homes and in that act
testify to all the world that gone,
they are not forgotten"
Tender and sacred memories stir
the heart as we think of the past
memories OF voice. a look, word. a
deed A love that was warm and true,
a Friendship that was strong and abid-
ing, relationship that was tender
and sweet. But we cannot call them
back escaped, are they, from the
noise and jostle of life into the calm
that falls at even time.
And why should we mourn? They
lived their time-played their part in
the great drama Of life, then passed In
to the presence of the Great God of us
all-there to receive according to the
| deeds done in the body. Will not the
Judge of all the earth do right?
Surely he will.
Then why should we mourn or wish
them backs no. this the end and
estate of man?
To me it seems fitting, my brothers
| and sisters, that as we meet here to-
day, in the midst Of memories that
hush our spirits and mellow our
hearts. We should pause long enough
to consider we'll the foundation princi-
pies of our order and the ground OF
our faith We are face to face with
the fact that we are mortal and NOR
tality is subject to the laws Of disolu
ton. We must have some enduring

principle, to which we can cling when
the fleeing, shadowy things of this
life shall fail.
Odd Fellowship is founded on the
P'ole. Every principle of the order.
Every tenent of our faith is taken
from the Word Of God.
Yet we do not claim to be church
or soul-saving institution we have
never presumed to say come unto me
and be we saved" that belongs to
Christ alone, and when some ill-advis-
ed brother, in some moment OF enthu-
siasm says "the lodge is my church. =
he speaks foolishly and the speech
does mich more harm than good to
our beloved order.
We are a fraternity, a brotherhood
our chief principle is brotherly love,
and it is taken from the story of the
good Samaritan, as told by our Lord.
He said certain man went FROM
Jerusalem to Jerico-It does not mat
ter who the man was,of what race or
nation, he was man, and that's
enough. That establishes the fact of
brotherhood and furnishes the basis
for charity.
At certain dangerous point of the
road he fell among thieves, who
stripped him, beat him and left him
for dead. Two hypocrites passed that
way, one priest, the other Levite
they both saw the mans condition and
both passed by, for ministers though
they were, they had not learned the
law Of service and sacrifice. They
did not know that the most acceptable
way to serve God and manifest our
love to Him is to serve and love his
other children.
But another man, with mans heart
OF sympathy, came that way and he
had compassion, and in mercy stopped
and ministered to the fallen brother
binding UP his wounds and taking hin
| to the nearest hotel.
This Is a beautiful story and its les
sons should not be lost upon US, this
is the chief value of life.
For it men have travelled around the
globe, and worked and toiled through
the years, while upon It's holy altar
woman brings divinest gifts and Ia
happy in the sacrifice If she but knows
her offering accepted.
We believe in the religion Of the
hand as well as OF the heart-the relis-
ion that manifests itself IN deeds of
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-06-21

mercy and help, and throws the man
tie OF charity over the faults and frail-
ties of others. Care for the sick and
relief for the needy, with special pro-
vision for those who are bereaved
when a brother is gone, are the ele-
ments which inhere in the very life Of
Odd Fellowship. We desire, of course
that our members shall live lives of
honesty and sobriety, revering God
and serving man.
We desire that they shall always
seek the approval of Heaven and so
order their lives that they shall be
blessings to the brotherhood and a
power for good in the community. If
there be any among us who do not
SO walk and live, let it be understood
that they are not living in harmony
with the teachings Of the order.
But in the midst of all this tender
and sacred service comes the irresist-
able thought that our own labors will
some day be ended.
Someday the silver cord will be
losed." Someday the golden bowl
will be broken" some day the pitch
er will be broken at the fountain"
What then?
This life is not all. nor does Death
end all.
Earth is the vestibule.
Heaven is the dwelling. Are we
ready for the change? Surely we

Albert Kiefer as chairman Of the ex-

Sisters. brothers and friends: We
are gathered here this afternoon to
render tribute to those of our brothers
and sisters who have passed from

render tribute to those OF our brothers
among us. to enter domain which is
higher and brighter.
Nothing could be more fitting than
that when men die some note should
be made Of it, something should be
said OF it, something that perchance
may bring consolation to the sorrow
ing and aid the mind in the contem-
plation of the mysteries Of life and
death.
This being the purpose Of our mem
orial, we will now with devotion OBJ
serve the ceremonies of the afternoon.
