Absent Brothers Ever UppermOst In
Minds and Hearts of Members Of
B. z. o. Z.

With words of rare eloquence Ed
win Snow, of Boise B. P. o. E. lodge,
No. 80, deeply moved the audience in
his address to the Elk's lodge at their
memorial service at the Lavering
theatre Sunday afternoon Mr. Snow
in substance said that all of the fra
ternal orders with which he had be-
come familiar, none other showed as
much interest in the absent brother,
whether temporarily abroad in this
world, or gone to the eternal shores,
as the Ell1s. In every lodge at one
hour before midnight, whatever the
occasion, everything stopped for a few
moments in order that all the mem
bers present might think of those
who had gone, and an Elk wherever
he might be, would know that his
brothers at home would think Of him
He declared that no difference was
made in the order on account OF re-
ligious belief and that no bigot could
be an Elk. There were within the
order men of every conceivable re-
ligiOus belief. There were also those
who were in doubt These, indeed,
needed the fraternal help of an order
like the Elks, perhaps more than
those who were of firm faith For
those who could say with confidence
"Oh, death, where is thy sting; oh,
grave where is thy victory?" could
find in the greatest calamities a sure
consolation. But it must also be
recognized that there were in this
world those whose faith had been
shaken, and these especially needed
the consolation of friendship and
fraternity Life, by gradually depriv-
ing us of friends and leading us to
realize the transitory character of all
things earthly prepares us for death
and this is one of natures compensa-
tions but the hope of life beyond is
the greatest of all consultations.
The ritualistic work of the order
was splendidly carried out and the
musical program, both vocal and in
strumental was of unusual excellence.
