ELk5 MEMORIAL
 SERVICE SUNDAY
 E IMPRESSIVE
Ritual, Selections by N. |. Pres. Church Choir and
 EuIogy by Joe Mclean

A most impressive service, me- morial to deceased Brothers" was held by the Juneau Lodge of Elks No. APO, Sunday afternoon before one of the largest audiences per haps to gather at such a memorial and amplified the Elkdom motto The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of Love and Memory"
 The ritual of the Elks was effec- lively carried out by the officers. The vested choir of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, under the direction of William w. Reedy, gave four selections which added to the afternoons tribute to the departed. Mrs. Carol Beery Davis was the pianist and also accom- panied Miss Frances Paul in her solo.
 Joseph A. Mclean gave the eulogy, ono of the shortest and perhaps one or the best at any Elk's memorial, saying in part that We pause for while and in pro- found respect to consider those brothers who have gone on before us, but who nevertheless leave a deep imprint upon our lodge and a vivid recollection to our surviving brothers and to their families.
 Throughout all the lodges of Elkdom today, our brothers are gathered to perform one of their most sacred obligations, that of re- newing the pledge of Fidelity and Brotherly Love.
 Here today, we have heard our Exalted Ruler recite the Elk's creed Tn respect to our faith in the an- cient theory of immortality, in these hopeful words: As Elks we are taught that some day this mortal shell shall put on immor- tality. Firm in our faith, we are reminded by these services that we are born not to die, but to live
 T would say my brothers and friends, that life contains nothing which must end, that should be valued for its continuance. It is thus in the life of man, a short life is sufficient to manifest himself a man of honor and virtue, or, as in the words of our Chaplain, a man who was imbued with the spirit of true Charity, whose heart was inclined to Justice, and to whom we turned to find Brotherly Love.
 We think of death as ending let us rather think of life as Ee- ginning. We think of losing, let us think of meeting. We think of going away, let us think of arriving. And as the voice of death has whispered to our departed brothers You must go from earth let us hear instead the voice of our Creator saying, You are but com- ing to Me"
 The officers of the Juneau lodge participating in the Sunday memo rial service were F. Dewey Baker, Exalted Ruler; Wallis George, Esteemed Leading Knight; LeRoy West, Esteemed Loyal Knight; Ed win Peyton, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; Stuart Houston, Chaplain; Cortis Wingerson, Esquire; and w. H. Riggs, Secretary.
