dredS Of years before CArlst lo ehe signing of Magma Charta, rom Marston Moor to Yorktown. MT. Winsor then brought out the thought that though the way to the end of the war might. and probably great in blood, in money and ill hardships, the course of the nation should be steered toward a bene- ficient, a charitable and an endur- ing peace. And in the winning Of that goal" he said, we Elks may find another splendid mission. The influence for peace, of fraternal so- cieties, founded as they are almost without exception upon the broad principle of brotherly love, should and will be felt, together with the influence that will inevitably De wielded by religious thought and organizations, not only in bringing about peace when a propitious time arrives, but in so moulding US terms as to exclude rancor and bit terness and hate. Our own order teaches the very democracy for which the allied arms are striving the democracy of love-expressed in the notices which guide our of ficers at their stations, Charity. Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity, | thus affording 8 firm foundation for a peace as enduring as the ages, rock that no torrent may. move, and | against which the storms of hat red, and jealousy and selfishness shall beat in vain.
 Thus, while we are lighting for | victory, let us ever bear with us l the consciousness that we are fight l ing also for peace-for a just, d | righteous and a lasting peace-and | to that end let us strive, as true Elks, to uphold and glorify the teachings and professions of our Order" From so exalted a station" MT. Winsor concluded, we may view while our heart strings tighten and our pulse beat fast, Old Glory ad- vancing through the smoke and the roar and the tumult of battle, sup ported by our irresistible hosts. without fear and without hatred, | but with sublime selfsacrifice, car rying the liberty of free America | to the uttermost parts of the earth. Inspired by such a vision, and moved l by such an aim, let us here and now, in this sacred and solemn pres- ence, clasp our hands over the flow | 6 brothers, in whose names we invoke the spirit of service and sacrifice. and looking down the long vista of glorious history which our brave sol- diers will uphold, swear by the memory of Washington, by the blood -dabbled locks of Lincoln, by the lightning lit sword of Grant, by our heroes living and dead, by those who in three wars carried our ban her, blood -splashed and bullet shredded, but flying still. triumph ant still, over every inch of Amer ican soil that they will not be de- prived of their heritage"

 We have finished our labor, the
 parting has come
 And each of our brothers now
 goes to his home;
 And our voices blending, we now

 Oh, thus may we ever our friend

 May Charity, Justice and Brotherly
 Love.
