Pocohontas, Sachem, Brothers and
Sisters and Friends:
How cold would be the tomb,
How desolate its gloom.
Were there no faithful tears to fall
abovel
Oh, who could bear to die,
Did we not know some sigh
Will move fond spirits in memorial

We have gathered tonight to place
upon the altar of affection loving
tributes to kind friends and brothers.
who have passed over into the shore

The land where naught OF sickness,
pain nor sorrow. nor death is ever
felt or feared
= 1t seems but yesterday that the sis
ters and brothers whose memories
we are here to honor. were among us.
going here and there. doing their part
in hfe's battles
1t is difficult to realize that their
hands and feet are cold in death and
their tongues are stilled by deaths
icy touch.
In every age and in every cline.
even from the dawn OF civilization,
men have builded monuments to mark
the going of their heros and loved ones
and to keep in memory what they said
and what they did.
Magnificent temples, great statues.
towering columns, grand mausoleums,
splendid pyramids. obelisks and tri-
umphal arches stand in memory OF
the dead.
But the Imp. o. R. M. build no cost
ly monuments OF brass or marble to
tell when. how and where lived their
dead. Inshrined in hearts. loving and
true, we treasure their memories, and
tell of their virtues around the mellow
light of the council-fire and teach the
young to remember their precepts
and to walk in their footsteps.
Our traditions are replete with the
names and deeds Of mighty hunters. to
whom the paleface world has erected
costly monuments, and whom they
teach their children to love. honor and
revere.

and Charity, the crowning virtues OF
the American aborigines. who before
they were corrupted by contact with
the vices of civilization. were as brave
as they were generous and as truth
ful as they were brave.
A conspicuous trait in the character
of the primitive Red Man was his un-
dying love for freedom.
Standing under the shelter of vast.
virgin forests. proud in the pulsing
blood Of vigorous manhood, he declin-
ed to acknowledge allegiance to any
man; his hunting grounds to him
as free as the air is to the eagle.
While the primitive Red Man was
relentless in the pursuit OF a foe.
friendships once formed were inviol-
able.
They were hospitable and generous
and they watched over the afflicted
OF their tribe and shielded them from
danger as the eagle shields her young
and tender brood.
The Imp. o. r. NJ. have learned OF
these simple children OF the forest,
the grand principles, Freedom. Friend
ship, and Charity. and adopted them
as their motto.
But, my friends. they have learned
grander principle still than all these.
