No. 81, Of Elks. That man was porn
10 die was the assertion of the speaker
and that the melancholy truth exists

until death overtakes him. But a
mission men had in life, said Mr.

neighbor and posterity.
{. We owe our happiness, our gov
eminent, our law, our wonderful ID

Mind never conceived a sweeter
thought than that of Remembrance
of Others, . said the speaker, land
this great order, though meeting TO-
day all over this country in memorial
services for the dead, is not cast down.
It is joyous because departed brothers
are remembered and their virtues ex-
tolled, and is happy because charity
has shielded the widow and orphan of
those who have gone.
Mr.. Shook closed by admt nlshing
his hearers to be somebody, to accom-
plish something in life, to bring their
talents out from under cover and re-
member their mission in life and TO
have habits fixed in the correct moral
way and with charity as boundless as
the wants of their fellows.
