.ELkS HELD LODGE OF SORROW.
IN MEMORY OF DEPARTED
BROTHERS STANTON
OF BEMIDJI SPEAKER .....

The local Elks lodge last Sunday
held it's annual lodge Of sorrow, in
honor .of the departed brothers, at
tie hall. The attendance was large,
the. ceremonies being public. The
program numbers were all excellent.
After the services had started the
roll call Of the departed was held:
After each name had been called
three times white carnation was
clipped from its stem and dropped at
the foot Of the memorial tablet.
Rev. Philip E. Gregory gave the in
vocation, after which Miss Laura
Brannen sang IT Will Lay Ne Down
IN Peace.'' Her sister, Miss Bessie
Drannen, acted as her accompanist.
Mrs. E. V. Wetzel then gave a reading
entitled IA Thought" after which
Bastien's orchestra gave selection.
Judge G. w. Stanton Of Bemidji, q
prominent Elk, gave an eloquent and
abb address eulogizing the departed
bothers and pointing out the .princi-
pies which underlie this order. He
said that no better eulogy could be
spoken than to call attention to the
PROPOSED principles of the order, the
creed of which is the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man. On
the altar Of every Elks lodge, he said,

will be found the bible and the Am
erican flag, and the members are
taught that the destiny Of the lodge is
linked with the destiny Of our coun-
try. 49,.
IA, The speaker stated that mighty
things are accomplished in this ma
ton which is little more than q hum
dred years old. We know no rest; the
invisible of yesterday is our goal to-
day and our starting point tomorrow,
he said. -~@ =. ss@at 60
The true significance of charity,
Judge Stanton said, is known to
none better than to the Elks. Their
charity, he said, is not limited to
gifts but is greater and extends to all
the great wants of the brotherhood
of men. The charity of Elks speak no
unkind word but always condones,
forgives and forgets.
Judge Stanton also spoke Of the
principle of unselfishness among Elks.
He said that the present war is q
great example Of terrible selfshness,
and he went on to say that all along
history's pages we see where great
men have gone down into oblivion be-
cause of their selfish nature. Life 8
greatest battle is to gain control Of
this selfish nature and establish in
the individual true manhood. Such
is the benevolent and protective order
Of Elks, he said. No man can come
to meeting of this order and fail to
respond in some degree to its great
underlying principles.
In closing the speaker admonished
his brother Elks not to fail to make
the most Of a study Of the lives of the
departed and their accomplishments,
so that when we leave, we can turn
to those we leave behind and commit
to their care the flag of our republic
and bid them a final goodbye.
The services closed> with benediction
by Rev. Gregory.
