B. P. O. ELKS PAY
TRIBUTE TO THE
DEAD MEMBERS
OF THE PAST YEAR
Ritualistic Work and Fine
programme with large
attendance mark ceremO-
nies.

Sunday was Memorial day" for
the B. p o. Elks, and everywhere
throughout the world where an organ
ization of that brotherhood exists. its
members paid tribute to the virtues
of those who have passed over the
great divide" during the past year. In
thousands of cities and towns in the
United States, and in its dependen-
cies aboard, as well as in Great Brit
ain and her colonies, tie Elks on he
first Sunday in December of each
the recollection Of their departed
brothers," who were called by the
exalted ruler Of the universe from the
here to the hereafter to an eternal
rest beside the still waters and the
green pastures" of the Great Un-
known. The Elks write the faults of
their brothers on the sand, but their
virtues are engraven on the tablets Of
enduring memory.
The memorial services of the mem
bers OF Canon~City lodge No. 61O, was
held at the Elks' home Sunday eve
ming and was most impressive. None
in its history have been more inspir-
ing in ceremonial, in song and speech,
and the evenings observance will go
down in the annals of the lodge as
one Of the most beautiful in its chron-
icles
The ritualistic work of the lodge,
supplemented by the fine program of
song and instrumental music, eulogy
AID oratory, combined to make the
service one long to be remembered
by reason of its excellence. The eulo-
gies of the members who have died
during the last IL months by Judge
Kent L. Eldred and the memorial ad-
dress by w. II. Thomas were superb
in tenor and delivery. They were
fine examples of their kind, and were
creditable alike to those who deliv-
cred them and to those in whose honr
they were inspired. The oration of
Mr.. Thomas was a magnificent one,
Eloquent and replete with a prac.i-
cal philosophy that is helful to the
living. it received a deserved compli-
ment and commendation from all who
heard it.
The attendance at Sunday evenings
memorial services was an unusually
large one. and was representative OF
the community. The program was
exceptionally artistic, pleasing and
satisfying.
