the Pastor.

In his memorial sermon last even .

auxiliaries, Rev. Marion Humphreys,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church, chose as his theme, "A Mans

A section of pews was reserved for
them. Nearly leo were present In
delivering his sermon, Rev. Mr.. Hum
phreys stated thoughts taken from
the emblems of the order. He spoke
of life and of the all-seeing eye of
God. He spoke of the things for
which the three links stand. friend
ship, love and truth, pointing out that
/ this combination of principles makes
/ the right life.
LIFE NOT EVERLASTING.
The thought of immortality, pictur-
! ed in the skull, cross bones and
scythe, another emblem of the order,
was used to picture the thought that
life is not everlasting. The bow and
arrow and the CULVER of arrows, still
another emblem, was pointed out by
the pastor as a sign of protection,
rather than a sign of hostility. He
spoke of the union OF brotherhood
portrayed in the bundle of rods and
of the strength emanating from this
unity. And the othdr emblem, the
bible, he said, is the source of all
truth.
The purposes of the lodge, visiting
the sick. giving relief 10 the needy.
conducting burial services and the
care of the orphans and the aged
were commended by the pastor.
