Address by Representative Carlin.
Representative Carlin past exalted
ruler of Alexandra Lodge. No. 75s. in
his memorial Grafton paid high tribute
to the departed Elks and made an elo-
quent presentation of the principles of the
order He said:
THE order of E,lks stands for the hui
man side of life. One of our purposes is
to promote sociability among members
that We may know them better. We aim,
too, to make our membership a moral
force. We stand for the uplift of man,
that we may make life sweeter men bet
ter and death easier. Love runs through
every line of our ritual: it is the cement
that binds man to the home, his country
and its institutions: it is the power that
rules the world; love is foundation rock
Of the order of Elks. We stand for the
purity and preservation of the home:
fidelity to home and country is our watch
word. Belief in Supreme Being is
requisite for membership.
Our brothers have passed away, but
they still live. They are still with us. be-
cause we have in our hearts that which
is more enduring than monuments-the
love of man for man..
