THE ELKs LODGE OF SORROW

II is @ sacred tribute that the sur.

Sitting in the silence with the

else take their places
There is this beautiful thought in
this ceremony OF the Elks They
cannot forget They may be careless
and forgetful OF many things. but
when the Lodge Of sorrow is held.
loyal brothers are there TO silently
utter a prayer for some brother who
was with them a year ago but who
this year is missing
This is not only true in Ardmore,
but il is the same in every city. town
and hamlet in the civilized world
where a lodge Of Elks exists.
II is also beautiful for the living
to remember that after death seals
their eyes there are left in the liv-
ing world who will honor their mem
ory in a fitting, sincere and express
