THE CANADIAN ELK

American Elks travelling in CANADA,
may not be surprised to meet many
members of the Benevolent and Protect
i've Order of Elks Of the Dominion OF
rada. While the organization or
Elks in Canada is not affiliated in any
way with our own order in the States
yet we understand that the Canadian
Elks lodge is founded on similar prin-
ciples as our own charity. justice,
brotherly love and fidelity. American
Elks travelling in Canada may expect TO
be honored and recognized as much as
may be possible under the circum-
stances. The Elks Of the States Will
rejoice to learn that the growth OF the
Canadian Eks organization has been
remarkable
The Canadian Elks were organized IN
1912 and are now DESTROYS OF bringing
about Il social utilization with the Amer
lean Order The Canadian Elks IN fact
have already extended such privileges
to E.lks from the United States visit
ing Canada. By social privileges, the
Canadian Elks mean an interchange OK
club room privileges and other social
privileges between the two orders. At
fliation along more complete lines Is
not desired by either the American or
the Canadian Elks. it Is said. The time
may come when these two orders may
ask to seek closer utilization than along
social lines, but nothing will be done
along this line for some time to come.

DON'T 1E AFRAID

pon't be afraid of your generous emo
tons The worst fear is the fear to
be great. The meanest satisfaction is
to be content in being like others. If
you trust a friend. trust him unto death.
OF course you may be deceived in him.
But better be Inundated by betrayal
than be incapable of perfect faith. If
you love your wife. love loyalty utterly.
She may not appreciate it. But bet
ter be unappreciated than to miss the
joy Of perfect self-giving. Don't be
too afraid of casting your pearls before
swine. Better that than to hoard your
pearls. Don't be afraid to forgive.
The object of your forgiveness may be
unworthy, but that cannot mar the fine
ness of your pardon. Don't be afraid
to show yourself friendly. for only 50
you show yourself worth friendship
Don't be afraid to believe in goodness
Better that evil should come as a shock
than that You should have trusted in
it. Don't be afraid of being too kind.

must be little too kind to be. kind

NAY WE R1ST IN PEACE
(By DIR. ]. SEl1PLE, Lampman, Sask.)

Member of the E. P. o. E.
Into the shadowless and somber wood,
Where once monarch of the forest
stood,
went as eventide was drawing. nigh,
And voiced my thoughts in this solilo-
quy:
GLOW are the mighty fallen' Once this
tree
lowered in all his pristine majesty;
Rose like a pyramid above the plain,
And viewed his wide arboreal domain.
Now overwhelmed and PROSTATE in de-
cay.
His mould shall mingle with the baser
clay;
And in the years that pass, soon shall
he be
No more than all his line Of ancestry.
SO with the race of mortals we call men
We're born-wc die and disappear-and
then?
Who knows? Who knows? We cannot
farther see,
But may we rest in peace like this old
tree.

\ man who sees his own interest and

Single word, self-interest? He could
see no ones rights but his own, and
felt too unpleasant to describe when a
