Memorial services Sunday at by Elks Todge were largely attended. th auditoriumn being filed to capacity and the “Lodge of Surrow” ceremonics were very impressive. A fine musies! progran was rendered inswhich Mis. AL E. Kelley, Miss Martha Huteaizon ansy Mrs. W. W. Wood participaied Sack orchestra furmished the instrumental music. e Roy D.

To observe an point out how this spirit gives oy standing carriage to Progress, how | makes easier the way to an -eve higher civilization, héw it transform the world into a better, happier hali{, tation to do this, i, 1 believe, to pa . a worthy tribute to the memory ot those who no longer can answer th: roll call.’ . o “Men must depend one upon an other.

When a mere man shuts hi eyes to the whole of humanity in som. sudden excess of concentredon or self, he is either presumptiously blas fear. “You may be certain that no wholl brave man first cried out “Sauve qu peut.” It was a craven who did that‘one whose every sense of fellowship and serivce to his comrades had gone utterly lost in his paltry love af sel! It is a sad homily on the frailitles o: human nature that this exhortatio for each one to save himself withcuy regard to others, comes down 1o us molded inflexibly in the language cf a people notably brave. ~ “The whole of our civilization is builded upon the inter-dependence ol human beings. No one of us has the right to shirk his duty to felp hold up the structure to give of inspiration by example, to diffuse about him th: spirit of this order. : “This I say, is every man’'s dugy and it is a duty which, when well done, draws big wages from the world’ _ —“lt has seemed to me and I am cer tain I. was not deceived—that mosi difficulties which arise in governmepn: in great business enterprises, and in ‘the lives of individuals' themselves ar: due primarily to a lack of the fin spirit of this order. And I know tha: great individual success in busines: and in politics has been built up high from nothing more material than th broad foundation of Charity, Justicc and Brotherly love. E

“A thousand opportunities to dc little acts of service and helpfulness daily rush by us unheeded And yet everyone of those opportunities seizec upon everyone of these littl: acts, i performe would have effected in some way all mankind. “It should never be forgoten that the whole of creation is a bundle ci laws. The smallest act may- have the most remote consequences. So potty a thing as the bending of ababy’s fin ger effects the universe, if only tc deflect a ray of light from the sun ninety-edd million miles away. “We live among-the see effects.

Thr lustre of the pearl blinds us to th. grain of sand that caused its growth “We can all remember. feeling a shock of disappointment at meeting for the first time some man of great reputation—some strong political leader, perhaps, or some giant in business. How common place he seemed—3o absolutely human. There ~was nothing godlike, nothing appalling about him. We wondered wherein his greatness lay. We may have compared him to ourselves, even, and failed to see wherein he was different. And'yet bere was a man of undoubted worth. One'who had proved himself. . “I think that it is the very human“ness of such a man that at first disappoints us.
