Mr.. William M. Morgan followed
with an impressive address on i'm
mortality. 1t gave evidence of much
thought and study, and some beauti-
full ideas were expressed in a new
and original manner. One of the
gems was as follows:
"Men may die, but those who have
truly lived will live on, they will never
die. We this day commemorate their
companionship. They have left US a
movement as heritage. Our breth-
rem live in memory and they are
cherished by us. We desire to i'm
press upon you that we believe they
will live again, and that they are not
lost to US. Immortality is the great
ness of our being and we believe we
will all meet in the morning of the
future"
Next came the memorial services,
which were the most impressive event
of the occasion. Upon the stage was
erected a large white passion cross,
upon which were placed lights repre-
senting the brothers who have passed
away. Bro. Hamilton conducted the
ceremony, reading a list of the de-
parted members and paying to each
brief, appropriate and touching
eulogy as, one by one, the lights were
extinguished when the name it rep
resented was reached.

The famous Old Guard drum corps

selection.
The concluding address, Lincoln
on Law and Labor" was given by
Hon. r. M. Wanamaker, Judge of the
Ohio supreme court, who proved him
self a forceful and entertaining
speaker and whose address, did space
permit, we would like to give in full.
Humor, pathos and eloquence were SO
intermingled that the close attention
of the large aurience was held from
start to finish. Before entering upon
the subject proper the judge spoke
in the lighter vein and entertained
his audience with some humorous re-
marks. When the applause following
his introduction had subsided he re-
marked:
81 thank you for applause, l always
enjoy certain amount of applause
before beginning to speak because it
may not follow at the conclusion of
my remarks. 1t requires courage on
my part and l am at loss to really
know why | was selected to appear
before such body of people, for be
it known to those of you not informed
that there is a strife between the
court and organized labor, and the
latter has most emphatically ex-
pressed itself at times Concerning the
courts. But trust you will bear
with me, when / say that when
took the bench | also took the oath
to be your humble servant. l believe
that a reasonable amount of criti-
cism is good for the bench and fol
every public official. David Harum
it was, who once said that a reason.
