AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
The Annual Lodge of Sorrow Held
By The Elks.
Eloquent And Touching Address De
llvered By Fred Harper, Eiq.
Largs Audi ace la Al
ter dance.
(Continued from Tuesday's paper.)
JUSTICE.
But the Order of Elks Is not merely
an organ'zttlon for the practice of
charity toward all mankind. It has a
high and noble purpose to subserve
among; lta own members In the cultiva
tion of those qualities of the mind and
heart that elevate and refine, that en
noble and exalt. Not the least of these
Is Justice)
But aa In our dally supplications that
arise on high we do not seek for justice
In the course of which none of ns should
see salvation, but do pray for mercy.
BROTHERLY LOVE.
Perhaps the one peculiar feature of
the Order which gives an Elk the great
est pride and pleasure In his member
ship Is the fact that wherever he may
go In thla broad lsnl and wherever he
may tind a man who responds to his ha'l
he finds not only a man but a brother A
broher wbese manner and bearing attest
those qualities of mind and heart for
the possession of which hla whole Lodge
stands sponsor. A brother who wears
upon his breast, in the badge of the
Order, a t ken of the approbation of hit
whole community. A brother who
grasps hla band In cordial greeting;
whose heart it warm with a brother's
welcome. It has come to be a distinct
ive feature of this Order. It Is known
to be the most sociable as well at the
most social of all the secret fraternities,
and the records have yet to'sbow aa In
stance when thla pledge of brotherhood
has been unfulfilled.
The readers of David Harum will re
call that homely philosopher's humor
ous statement that, 'there is as much
human nature In one man as there is In
another if not more ' This qnalnt re
mark might well be paraphrased, with
out less of truth, Into 'there Is as ranch
good In one man as there Is In another
If not mote." Indeed they amount
much to the same thing to my mind, for
I love to believe lo the general good of
human nature. We are all very muco
alike. We all have our good qualities
as well at out evil. As one poet has ex
preated it:
"Vlrtuoui anl vicious evtiy man
must le;
"Few in the e itent, hut all In the
degree. "
Oor u another poet hat nnra sweetly
sutg:
" There's a space for good to liloom
in
"livery heart of man or woman,
' And bowsver wild or human,
"Or however brimmed with gall.
"Nevei heart mty beat without
it;
"Aid tbe darkest heart to dobbl
It
'lias scmethlng good about It after
all."
And it U tht purpose cf the Order of
Elks to enltlvtte in its members t deter
mination to tetk thtt goo i In a brothers
heart and when hi hat found It to atlm:
olate and tn jjuragi It, aad that draw
strength for the better growth of what
(a good and true la one's owe heart.
This It brotherly love la lu highest aad
beet mom, It Is the brotherly love of
Klkhood.

Order of Elks for those of Its members

feels that heom no longer wlthstind tbe
buffetlogt of the rough teat of life, he
may know that even aa In hit iather't
house are many mansions, to In hit

And to It It that today it tet apart tht

know there shall answer but the silence
of the grave.tliat our hearts will be loin
with anguish and our eyes will be
dimmed with tears. Nor Is it only on
such occatlona that faithful memory
bring our brothets tack to ut for
the fidelity to which we have pledged
ourselves In a living quallty.and though
the outward tokens of grief be laid aalde
and tbe badge of mourning be no longer
worn, yet the sorrow In our hearts
which their death has c .used Is with us
still and shall never fade.
Charity. Justice, Brolharly Love, and
Fidelity. Those are the cardltal prin
ciples of Elkbood to the cultivation of
which every Elk baa pledged his man
hood and his tacied honor No theory
of life, no plan of cooduot, can of itself
produce the highest type of manhool.
It depeni upon tbe man himself. In
the gnat drama of life each muat play a
pait but tbe character Is left for each to
chooM, a vlllitn if we will, or man of
honor holding high above all thlngt,hlgh
tbove til thlngt, high as hopt t grttt
throbbing ttar above the darkness and
the dead, respect of virtue and love of
of wife nd home and friend. It Is tbe
purpose of the order to make itt mem
ber! better butbaids tod fathers, better
soot and brothers, better cltlzent, better
men. The result depends upon the
Individual; but he who hat lived a con
sistent life In accordance with lta teaoh
Ings hss lived it In accordance with the
Injunction of that master mind who, In
s single sentence, has summed up all
essential elements of all moral teaching,
and mapped out a coune that all the
world might safely follow to Its salva
tion. "So live," aald he, and thus does the
Benevolent aad Protective Order ol
Elks charge each of Itt membert:
'-80 live that when thy summons comes
to Jola
"Tbe innumerable caravan that
' moves V
'To that mysterious realm, where
each shall take
"Bit chamber In tbe silent halls of
death,
"Thon go not like the quarry Slav at
