Judge Miller's Talk.
Hon. Henry # Miller was the next
speeker and he was at times hunaor-
Gus, getting in some real wholesome
truths as he proceeded. He addressed
the convention as members of the
greatest order on earth, and he talked
on fraternalism and said that no fra
ternal organization nor a church could
exist unless it had truths for its very
foundation, for truth is what must rule
the world. "The order is not essential
ly religious order" said he. "but IL
seeks its members from true man
hood. 1t Is founded on brotherIy love
and it's basis is charity"
He would divide the human race into
two classes. The first class would be
all the bringers Of joy to the human
race. and the other all who bring sor-
row. He said that the Elks were tax
en- from the first class, for the mar
who brought tears and sorrows was not
wanted in the order yet the true Eth
was always ready to hear the voice OF
honest sorrow and distress "Tf you
would let out your joy so that it viii
be contagious and grow in some one
else's heart you must have that Joy in
your own.
Set Good Example.
''By your lives set good example
SO that others seeing your JOY in do
ing the right thing viii want to follow
you. The bringers Of sorrow are thu
ones whom the little children run from
on the streets. They hnd fault witt
everything and everybody, and are
looking for flaws in this and that one
beca, Sc while they may not know II
/ they have flaws within themselves
They are themselves not right, and
they complain and imagine that every.
body is also wrong. When this order
or any other order forgets it's lessor
Of religion then it is doomed. Oul
order is founded on charity, which we
should always practice. 1t is the little
duties, the little kindly words and acts
that we do day by day that brings us
nearer and nearer to perfection.
Judge Miller hoped that everybody
would have the very best kind of {
time in Fargo and that everything
that they did would bring credit upor
themselves and the order in general.
