We are gathered here today to OBJ
sreve that which to my mind is the
most beautiful of all the ceremonies of
the Elk Lodge remembrance to call
to mind with reverence our absent
brothers and their virtues.
As we journeyed along life's path we
knew them rs men who were promi-
nent with the development of this
great state of ours, men who enjoyed
the confidence and esteem Of their
brothers and neighbors in the various
communities in which they lived. They
were ceaseless workers in the upbuild-
| ing of this lodge of Elks. We miss
them from our midst ; we miss them
from our councils. We knew them as
men whose hearts were filled to over
| flowing with that beautiful spirit of
charity and good fellowship; men who
| never permitted call of distress to go
unanswered; men whose purses were
ever open to aid those in need: men
who by words and acts of kindness
caused the sunshine of happiness to
penetrate dark places and dispel gloom.
encouraging those who had become
Respondent TO renewed activity.
/ Among them were men with master
minds and skilled hands who alleviated
suffering and soothed the fevered brow
along the bay to recovery for human
ity's sake. Proverbs 18th chapter and
18th verse reads, He that hath pity
upon the poor lendeth to the Lord
and that which he hath given will He
pay him again" | feel that when the
spirit of our departed brothers raped
upon the door of Heavens lodge. Al
might God, exalted ruler of the whole
universe, bade them enter.
1t behooves you aud me, my brothers,
to live right with God and our fellow
mnn so that when the summons comes
to you and me that we may be greeted
| by our brothers in the Grand Lodge
above, and with them roam over the
ever green pastures of eternal love
where the flowers of good fellowship
are ever in bloom and where songs OF
rejoicing never cease.
| Proverbs 29th chapter 9th verse
reads, "He that giveth to the poor
shall not lack !; but he that hideth his
eyes shall have many curse. Let
| you and me, mpbrothers, make it ouI
duty to build up about our lodge and
about this beautiful temple; reputa.
tion for charity, justice and good fel'
lowship as monumental as that mag
nificent mountain to our west and lei
our thoughts and acts ever be as pure
as the new fallen SHOWS that cap its
summit; let us cast out of our hearts
and minds all feelings of malice anC
Ienviousness let US cast aside the
crown of thorns (hatred) and take uT
the cross of charity and good fellow
ship and wend our way along life't
path at peace with God and our fellow
men, following closely within the guild
ing ray of light from the great star ol
hope until We have reached our fina
