tor Of the Occasion.
| An Endless wave! the throhS goes py,
! Each toward the Turing goal.
Throughout the hour We sought tne eye
But Strange is every soul.
And some are glad and some are sad,
While some, Of Loves own mien,
Move through that sea, but ne'er to me
Comes faces Of some I've seen.
And so it is, Te are here today anC
with us there may be no tomorrow
But while life lasts it is refreshing tc
know that you are remembered after
all that is mortal of you is placed be.
yond the ken OF trouble and you arc
consigned to mother earth, from whose
bourne no traveller returns. In the
spirit Of true Christian charity tho Be.
nevolent Protective Order OF Elks the
world over has set aside one day in
memory Of those who have preceded
the active members to the other world.

supreme body, and with due rever-
ence to the Exalted Ruler of the
Universe for his manifold kindness 10
