ELKS HOLD
MEMORIAL

With all the solemnity due the occa-

tribute to its dead members Sunday
evening at their new home on Apple

tended only by Elks. Hon. Frank l..
Dutton of Augusta delivered a very
impressive and scholarly eulogy that
outlined clearly the place of promi-
hence the b. p. o. f. holds in Amer

furnished the music. Fred NJ. Hallett,
the lodge chaplain, read the opening
ode and pronounced the benediction.
The committee of arrangements con-
sisted of: Thomas E. Johnson, Arthur
L. Holmes and James Eugene Conner.
Mr.. Dutton said in part:
brother Elks: Our thoughts on this
memorial occasion naturally turn to the
theme of death; yet have not come here
to speak to you of death, but OF life. The
dead. II seeing and knowing both life and
death, must recognize that the care of
man should be over the possible and not
the impossible. Within the confines Of
life man has limited control; beyond.
none whatever. Whether the drapery We
call Qcutn SHUTS IIUfn ouf view the SUN
shine of eternal day or the darkness of
a night that may sometime dawn. no man
knoweth. The living can do neither good
nor i'll to the dead The flesh of death
has passed beyond the world of pain; his
sould beyond the realm of earthly feel
ing. Any deed OF kindness. any act of
good, any sentiment of brotherhood, af-
fects him not. No memorial tablet, how
ever expensive or richly carved. can
please the eye of death. No phrases of
commemoration. whether couched in the
finished language OF the orator. or the
dreamy imagination of the poet, can rem
der service to a departed brother
Men both great and small live. die and
pass away, and the great throbbing
world in which they lived, however tall
the shafts that mark their graves, closes
In about their memory, and they are for
gotten by all save those with whom they
lived in ties of blood, of friendship and
of brotherhood. Themselves forgetting
life, they are forgotten in death. The
living form new ties and new affections
as out of the roots and seeds of the dead
plant new life is created
