 The address of the occasion was
 delivered by Knight L. D. Dameccn who said:
 l Paul writing to the Hebrews tells us Tt is @ppciutcd unto men once 1 to dic," David says The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four score years yet is: there strength, labor and sorrow: for it is soon cut off and we fly away.'' Man 1 this world and can not prevent his leaving There has ever been joy at | the birth of a child and sorrow at the tomb. The child is loved and ltcndorly cared for because of it's in nocencc. ifs simplicity, its independ- encc. The full grown man is re- spccted. admired. loved for his ability. his enterprise his character. Today as never before the philanthropist, i in the broad meaning of the term, draws the world to him in adrira- tion. Service to your fellow man at once adds 10 the joys of the world and stren@tIens the heart and lisht- ems the burden of him who eivcs The human sol is filled with con flicting emotions. tho good and the evil are continually at war. There lie much of evil and more of good
  we believe there is more of good and less of evil in the world today than there was in the last genera tion; we believe that-cventualv good will triumph over evil That the world will come to know the story of Damon and Pvthias, which to know aright will cleanse the heart of bitterness, greed and lust of power Then will the canons roar no more be beard. but peace. sweet peace reign througho.t the earth.
 T. is meet that we should from time to time assemble ourselves for the one purpose of retrospection. To live within the past is folly but it has its lessons we would do well to heed. 1T we would have the nor row to be better ard 5rishter we must learn Of yesterday. the error of the Ttr st %f4G.- id be reflected Tn the success of the future We travel his road but one time and short indeed is the span of activities al- lotted us. To some is given one tal- ent to another two and vet to an other ten. We of one talent of ten that our neiehhor with ten has larger opportunities, but we should not forget that enlarged op- pOrtuni:ies carries with t greater The world is hun gering for that which the man of one talent is able to give; his field is approximately just as great and, fhe harvest as abundant. And a little child shall lead them.J
 We repeat that service to our fel- '. bowman, marks our success in life. He who would wrap his mantle about himself and live within him self may collect a competency of his worlds goods. may even rise { to social and political heights but [ m the eyes of true men and the light of Gods word falls far short 1f what he should be.
