civilization of our own day, all have
believed in the existence of a Supreme
Being, Deity, who governed and
controlled the mysterious and pow
erful forces of nature, and who alone
was responsible for the inexplicable
origin, existence and recurrence of
life and death. And connected with
Supreme Being, was a belief in the
immortality of the soul of man. This
service, and our presence at it, con-
firms, ratifies and reiterates our
faith in one of the fundamental ele-
ments in the philosophy of life and
conduct promulgated by our order,
namely, belief in the existence of
Supreme Being, an omnipotent and
all-wise Deity who regulates cur af-
fairs, and in the Immortality of the
souls of our departed brothers, whose
memory we gather today to honor.
The poet says:
"His dust may lie in the Strengthened
tomb,
Or sink in the deep, deep sea,
But the ship of his soul seeks larger
room.
For death We mourn: For death of
whom?
Ye are the dead, not he"
Socrates, in his argument for the
Immortality of the soul says that the
mind, spirit, soul, call it what you
will, of man is handicapped, anchor
ed and tied down, by the limitations
of the body. And this is true. Our
knowledge is merely the sum of our
experiences. The knowledge and ca
pacity of the mind is limited only by
the ability of the body to put the
mind into contact with new exper-
fences, which experiences, moulded
and fused together, constitute our
store of knowledge. So our knowl-
edge, or, in other words, our accumu-
lation of mental experiences is unlim-
tied, except by the difficulty of NOV
ing the body around from place to
place. Now according to Socrates,
when the body dies, the mind is freed
from it's limitations, and it's knowl-
edge becomes infinite, for the reason
that it can be in all places at once,
and experience all experiences in the
twinkling of an eye.
Now, if our departed brothers could
in recognition of this service in honor
of their memory, give US the benefit
of their limitless knowledge and ex-
perience, what would they say today
to you and ms7
Would they not send some message
such as this?
Neglect not your limited opportun-
tiles on earth for the advancement
of the order and for service to man
kind. Use now the golden moments
that are so swiftly slipping by you.
Begin now, and live as your obi
cation requires, for tomorrow may be
too late.
My friends, if we should follow
their advice, could we not say, when
the hand of the Grim Reaper reaches
out for us, 80, death, where is thy
sting? o, grave, where is thy vic
tory?"
The only other address on the pro-
gram was eulogy in memory of j.
]. McCaskill, by DR.. F. G. Renshaw.

ALT RIVER LINE IS
 TAKEN BY GERMANS
BERLIN CLAIMS DEFEAT FOR EN. TENTE IN REGION OF
 MONASTIR.
BIG ATTACK IS FAILURE
Bucharest Admits Retirement at Two Positions on Eine-Troops isolated By Capture of Orsova Are Men,
 aced By Teutonic Forces.

Berlin.-The war office announced that the whole line of the Alt River in Roumania is in the hands of the Teu- tonic troops. A sever defeat Of the entente forces northwest of Monastir also was recorded.
 A great attack delivered by the en- tente troops along the Macedonian front from Trnoya, northwest of Mon- astir, to Markovo, northeast of that city, failed, says the announcement.
 German and Austro-H Hungarian troops, under command of Lieut.. Gen. Kraft von Delmensinger, advancing on both sides of the River Alt, in Wal lachia, pushed back the Roumanian forces belong the Topolog River, says the official statement issued by the German army headquarters. Alexan- dria, Roumanian town AZ miles southwest of Bucharest, was captured by Teutonic forces.
 The Roumanian forces, which had retired from the Danube town of Or sova, were pushed further to the south east by the Austro-German troops, the statement adds, and this Roumanian force now has been blocked by the approach of other Teuton forces in the rear. In this sector 28 officers and 1,200 men have been captured by the Tuetons, who also have taken three cannon and a great quantity of muni- tioRs.
 The statement reads:
