FLAG DAY
CELEBRATED
BY ELKS
Continued from Page 2.)

Immediately after nearly all pres
ent wended their way to Greenmount
cemetery, where the dedication SER
vices took place.
With simple but impressive SER
vice Characteristic of the lodge, the
Elks' rest was dedicated in the name
and spirit of the cornerstone of the

The Elks' rest was started in Green

of the Elks order and their families.
Facing the east and near the en-
trance to the cemetery is the huge

bronze elk, six feet eight inches in
height and crowned with antlers
which tower three feet above. II
stands on base two by six feet and
this in turn rests on concrete foun-
dation, triangular in shape and ten
feet on a side.
The members of the order formed
in double circle around the mound
where the monument and drinking
fountain are located. During the
singing they stood with bowed head
in memory OF the brothers who had
been laid to rest, "Auld Lang Syne'
being sung especially in honor of
the departed ones.
Special vocal music was rendered
by quartette composed of the
iMesdames L. Miles, w. w. McEwen,
Jr., Miss Hazel Hart and Rev. r. S,
Fairchild, and instrumental by the
Bostonian orchestra.

Address by Rev. r. S. Fairchild.

A0dreSs by rev. IL. >. falrcnild.
Rev. R. S. Fairchild in the dedica-
ti5n address said:
Members of the Elks Lodge, Ladies
and Gentlemen:
You have just come from an elab-
crate and an interesting observance
of Flag day Out of desire for your
comfort / would not at this time de-
tain you with an extended address
though the occasion merits much
There is a wealth of suggestion in
the surroundings and in the occasion
that would tempt one to essay much
1t was the quiet church yard that in
spired Gray to write his beautiful
and comprehensive elegy so filled
with the finest of broodings over the
lot and destiny of common mankind
and which has aroused within us an
interest in all mankind.
A memorial and a. dedicatory SER
vice ever make their appeal. They
are apart from other ceremonies. In
particular do they appeal to that fac
ulty, memory, which finds its high
est exercise in the most enlightened
and most brotherly people. 1t is a
knightly thing to- cherish the memory
of friends loved long since, and lost
the while" The surge of present
duties might easily carry these men,
cries into the sea of oblivion, did you
not like men, cherish the sacred past
The present has its enrichment
from the past. 1t were base to for
get. The most dismal picture Of all
literature is that in which Lear, for
gotten by the daughters whom he had
enriched with his kingdom, wanders
forsaken in the tempestuous forest
The bowling winter wind is not so
unkind as mans ingratitude. On the
other hand, that man or that womn
who cherishes memories of beau
tiful past is ennobled, and uplifted
thereby into the realm of the divine.
The monument erected to your dead
brothers, which you unveil today is,
indeed, worthy effort. According
to your ritual their faults you write
upon the sands, their virtues you
chisel in marble. This is worthy OF
exemplifcation among all peoples. 1t
is in the providence Of God that in
the memory Of manly men the faulty
and the unpleasant fade soonest. The
soldiers of 81 relate with such mirth
the stories of camp and field that the
plain and heartaches seem all to have
vanished. Even nature abhors to hold
on. to the uncouth. The hurricane is
no sooner past than she begins te
rebuild; the walls are hardly dowr
before the ivy silently steals up the
broken lines and covers the wreck
with beauty which is like the man.
tie Of charity.
But the most enduring and the
grandest Of all monuments that you
may build to the memory of the dead
is that character founded upon the
great principles of the order-char.
ity, brotherly love, and fidelity. Ir
the ceaseless winds and storms Of
time marble will fail. The shoulder.
ing hills will be laid low. But char
scter will abide forever.
Long may the waters Of the foun-
tain flow. Children will play hsrs
