Nor hold the visions price too dear.
For, as thou keepest that high trust,
That vision thou alone canst give,
Tho states be leveled into dust
And nations perish, thou shalt live.
o, brotherhood of all the world
o, heritage our fathers gainedi
Be ours to keep thy flag unfurled,
Be ours to keep that flag unstained.

Memorial Exercises of the K. of p,
|. o. o. F. and w. o. w.
The memorial exercises of the K. of
P, I. O.. o. F. and w. o. W., which
were held in the Temple theater Sun
day afternoon at o'clock were beau
tiful and impressive. Lovely flowers
adorned the stage and the program
rendered, though short, was very in
teresting. Mr.. D. w. Tompkins was
master of ceremonies and acted the
part with dignity and precision
very pleasing to the audience.
On the stages were seated represen-
tatives from the three lodges, Messrs.
Gober, Rogers, Baxter, Rev. Smith
Hardin, Mrs. Moremen, who repre-
scented the Rebekahs, Mrs. Hampton
and Mrs. Taylor.
The opening hymn, Nearer My God
to Thee" was followed by an impress
sive prayer by Rev. Hardin. A lovely
duet, "The Invisible Land" was very
beautifully rendered by Mrs. II. M.
Hampton and Mrs. G. L. Taylor, Miss
Wartmann being the accompanist.
Judge Gober made very interesting
address, using the beautiful and i'm
pressive K. of P. ritual, referring to
the good the lodges as a whole had ac-
complished and paying special tri-
butte of love and praise to the depart
ed brothers, whose memory lives as
sweet fragrance in the minds and
hearts of the brotherhood. The clos
ing hymn, America" was sung by
the entire audience, standing. "God
Save Our Men" followed, and the au-
dience was dismissed with prayer.
It was regretted that threatened
rain probably prevented many from
attending, as the audience certainly
was not nearly so large as it should
have been. After the closing exer-
cises, members of the lodges repaired
to the cemeteries, where the graves of
their departed brothers were strewn
with beautiful flowers, for while they
have gone from earth and their places
made vacant, faithful hearts will keep
their memories green.
