Hawley, June 10.
On Wednesday evening, June 12,
the members of Wangum Lodge, l.
o. o. F.. gathered in their hall and
held the annual memorial service to
commemorate the brothers who had
died during the year. The meeting
was called to order by Secretary w.
c. Knapp who read the proclamation
of the Grand Master which advo-
Gates these services in connection
with the decoration of the graves of
the departed brothers. A male quar-
tette consisting of Messrs. Simons,
Harloe, Warg and Quincy, with Ray
Williams at the piano, then rendered
some fine vocal music. Prayer was
then offered by Chaplain George
Tuthill. Mr. Tuthill also read some
selections of the memorial services
from the ritual. Next followed an
able address by Rev. ID. S. MacKel-
lar who is himself a loyal member of
the order. Using no preliminary
talk with which to preface his speak
ing, but in his usual characteristic
manner, plunged right into the sub
ject of Odd Fellowship. He said in
part: ''Do we realize with solemnity
what it means when we are initiated
or is it considered by some of us a
mere form. While we are engaged
in these services for the dead do not
forget the good you can do your
brothers who are still with you by
leading them to better things and
noble manhood. DO not pick at the
dark spots but encourage all the good
hey are doing" For the closing
piece the Quartette sang Nearer My
God to Thee" and after a vote of
thanks by the lodge for their service
the meeting was dismissed.
