Woo In Flower Language.

The language of flowers in the Near
East is no simple form Of speech that
anyone may understand. Long and
elaborate communications may be sent
by bouquet If the lady Is not too lazy
to learn a complicated code. There
is, say those Turks who claim to un-
derstand 1t, direct and an indirect
form Of flower message.
The indirect message goes by words
that rhyme either with the name Of
the flower or with the meaning Of the
name of the flower. They 60 to

His coming man has moved forward
and upward, heather nations becclle
Christian, men have become servants
Of their fell0wmen. The Golden
rule do unto others as you w0ulc
have them do unto YOU has become
the guiding star to men on every
side.
We are grateful indeed 70 the
good men and women who devote
their lives to the betterment of the
human race, and il is an inspiration
to note, everywhere one goes, that
the tower of the Church of God,
points heavenward, that men are con-
cemed about the life that is 10 be,
yet with all this we have many
prepleNing problems that need atten-
ton.
| need hardly remind you Of our
nature We are so constituted that
even though we have this and we
have that we still desire other things.
Then comes the question What are
the important things 20 desire -
Some of US desire everything but the
answer best comes by asking the
question "What three things shall !
desire?" Beattie's answer. "The
blessing of God, an approving con-
science, and the fellowship of the
good"
One question of importance stih
presents itself and that is with refer
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1922-12-13

ence to work. We are all delegated
TO perform some task; we are placed
in this world to perform some SER
vice. What shall ! work for?" Or
let me put t in this way What three
things shall / work for?" A COM
plete answer comes thus "A trained
mind, skilled hand and a regulated
heart"
The final question very fittingly
presents itself as we are gathered
here at this memorial service III
memory of the men who have passed
from this life and are now resting
on the other shore. As our journey
must ultimately end there the ques-
ton becomes one which centers it's
self around hope. What shall j
hope for?" what three things are
practical TO hope for?" 1t might be
termed a question which comes with
i'm the sphere of theology. Yet it Is
question that we ask? Beattie
puts his answer i'm words taken from
the Scriptures "A haven of peace, a
robe of righteousness and a crown
of life"
And as we go from this service
back to our firesides back TO our vo-
cations, whatever they might be, let
US cultivate these virtues and we
shall experience a more abundant
life and leave a more blessed MEM
DRY.

the Elks' memorial day, when you
meet to eXtol the virtues OF your
brothers who have gone to the great
with a forgiving spirit. You search
for their finer virtues and give these
first place in your hearts but theil
faults you write upon the sand.
This construction on the philoso-
ply of life has its foundation in the
Christian religion for the Master
when He was criticised for receiv-
ing into His kingdoma sinner, Ie-
marked: "Let him who has no fault
throw the first Stone.' And if one
examines the outstanding and fun
damental ideas of the order it is APP
parent that it represents the best
that can be gathered from human
experience, the best that can be
picked from the moral code, togeth-
er with the underlying principles or
been considered, for without these
how could the founcers have said
that the order stands for charity,
for Justice, for brotherly love and
for fidelity. All these are virtues
that bring harmony and happiness
to the human race; a charity so
true that the best is none too good;
a justice that we need, in ali our
walks and all our ways; a brotheriy
love whose bands are lnbrea.kable;
a fidelity that reaches even beyond
this mortal life.
AS we meet here today we arc
reminded of the fact that death is
inevitable. Like a flower that
springs from the eanth and gives
forth its foliage and its fragrant
flowers only to wither and crumble
with the storms Of winter, so man
rises in his place, gives his best 70
his fellowmen and his God, only to
wither and fall in the emily sUoun
Of life, yet with the same faith that
we have that the flower viii come
at another springtime, we realize
that man, too, will spring up at an
other season up yonier, where
storms are never ENCOUNTERED.
/ cannot speak Of the abode that
comes after painting. 1t is enough to
say that we all have that faith that
life is not all, but that wner this
"fitfuI fever is over" the best is yet
to come. 1t is that faith that moves
us to take up with the good things
in life. 1t is that faith that makes
one strong and full of nope; it IS
that faith that makes, easier the
parting from this life or sorrow,
strife and disappointment to that
other place of eternal happiness.
Today we are here to honor th-
dead, for their many kind words, for
their many happy smiles, for their
many kind suggestions, and for az
the good things they left in their
path as they lived and travelled

his address in part as follows:

did big things for their fellowmen.
1t is a beautiful custom indeed to
set aside one day i'm the year to pay
homage to, and revere the memory
of these departed men who once
lived among you and experienced
the same blessings and disappoint-
ments that come to all. 1t signifies
noble ideas and ideals. While you
are mindful of the fact that YOU
make your record while you live,
yet at the same time you are not
forgetful of keeping the record or
those that were once among you
after they are gone.

ing shall put on Immortality.
