- 1 he Memorial Address.
We have gathered here tonight to
light up by the sunshine of brotherly
love the memory of our departed
brothers; to linger in loving remem
brance on those who have preceded
us to that other and mysterious realm.
Vet 11 Is not necessarily a season for
vain regrets and grieving. The factor
of solemnity entering Into this occa
sion is not of the dark and morbid sort,
but "resembles sorrow only as the mist
resembles rain."
And as the blending of mist and sun
produces the beautiful rainbow in the
heavens,.. so. may the sunshine of our
happiness and love tonight, mingled
with the mist of sympathy , and sorrow
for these who are with us no more, pro
duce for each of u a beautiful bow of
hope and promise, an emblem and sym
bol sweet to contemplate while living
that when we,- too, shall have crossed
over to Join the silent majority, behind
us here will loving friends In other
festivities keep green our memory yet
a little while. "Ashes to ashes, dust to
dust," says Inexorable fate, but be It
with Elks, metaphorically, at least,
ashes of roses and dust of Ullles.
The memory of those we commem
orate tonight appeared to us simply
men among men. But, friends, let us not
be too prone to look to far and unusual
fields for celebrities to worship or exalt.
"The. world was made when a man was
born," says the philosopher, and the
world of wit and wisdom, virtue and
vice, as well, may be found for the look
ing, in a very small company.
And yet we cannot say of these, our
brothers, that ... the .reeord of. their
achievements here on earth- has been
christallzed thto poetry and dang; ftr
made' the subject of he genius of the
sculptor. Their lives "ware spent'' In the
privacy of peace, not war. The his
tory .of, civilization Is the history, con
flict and war of victorious wrong. .With
Indomitable will and genius for de
struction, the Alexanders and Napo
llons. compelled mankind to subserve
their ambitions. - Fame to them was the
glory of conquest.
' Heroes in Times of Peace.
But there are heroes and heroines In
times of peace as in war, and In every
community there are golden threads of
personal heroism, of self-sacrlflce, of
calm and quiet endurance never told
by,. orator,- never sung by poet. They
are the heroes and heroines of every
day lire. Men ana women w-no dally
meet face to face with trials and emer
gencies which demand the loftiest cour-

age evr . displayed - in any field of
human engagement. This fortitude and
calm forbearance against the ills' of
outrageous, fortune ajid the secret "suf
ferings of the heart, and the lingering
pain. of. disease borne with Christian
resignation and without a murmur of
complaint will receive their Just reward
In the "temple of etenlty." These he-1
roes and heroines belong to the "Un
recognized nobility;" to that peerage of
Qod who suffer today but who rejoice
tomorrow. .
Our brothers who have crossed the
river of the valley of the shadow of
death; modest in the obscurity of their
homes and their dally pursuits; hum
ble perhaps In fortune without high
position to herald their good deeds, with
every trace of human sacrifice forever
lost, possess more of the elements of
true heroism .than the victorious op
pressor of rights and liberties of man
kind. Unrewarded by Judicious flattery
bestowed, unsullied by vain - pomp;
there are characters in the world, men
and women formed in the obscurity of
the home, in retirement, who exemplify
in their lives those Christian virtues
which marked the entire life of Him
who rebuked the Pharisees and said to
the woman "thy sins are forgiven
thee." Men and women whose lives
are marked by that charity that wipes
away the tears of sorrow, that heals
the pang of disappointment by gener
ous encouragement; whose alms are
given "at midnight's holy hour;" that
the pride of Him who receives shall not
suffer the mock sympathy of a heart
less world; by the charity that suffereth
long and Is kind. Such lives are1 dearer
in the eyes of heaven than those more
Illustrious who regard the world as a
field of selfish conquest and who exist
simply for themselves alone.
"The drying of a single tour has more ,
Of honest fame than lh shedding of seas
of bipod."
"Man's two-fold nature to different things
appeals."
' When the Soul Languishes.
The one. regards only the fulfillment
of every worldly desire, the great grat
ification of every poisonous passion.
Every thought, every impulse and every
act and deed points downward, is In
correspondence with the world' and is
worldly; , with . such environment the
soul must languish.
In the other and better nature there
Is what Is termed an upward striving, a
looking up to Clod, and' In proportion the
man becomes divine. Every beautiful
thought uttered here tonight, every
song sung, every strain of music that
charms the senses; these flowers and
every contrivance that lends Its par
ticular attraction to produce this beau
tiful scene and to complete this mem
orial servlce.'ajipeals not to our baser
nature but to our better, to our higher
selves. Such associations enlarge the
understanding and dispel' the gloom
that, like a thick cloud, hovers around
the soul.
"There lies a den,
Beyond the seeming confines of the space
Made for the soul to wander In and traoe
Its own existence, of remotest glooms.
Durk regions are around It,, where the
tombs
Of burled griefs the spirit sees, but
- scarce
One. hour doth linger weeping, for the
pierce
Of new-born woe It feels more Inly smart;
And In these regions many a venomed
" dart ' -At
random files;, they are. the proper
home .
Of every ill: The man Is yet to come
VYhp hath journeyed in this native hell."
The world's desire rests In a common
faith in one Qod and an universal be
lief In the brotherhood of man.
- "I dreamed
That stone by stone I reared a sacred
fane. ... -.
A temple; neither Pagod, Mosque, nor
t'hurch. i
But loftier, simpler, always open-doored
To every breath of heaven; and Truth and
Peace
And hove. and Justice camp and dwelt
. therein. .-
These are among the laBt lines of the
great laureate, of England, -Tennyson,
and behind these beautiful lines we see
the prophet who was inspired- to write
them.
An Age of Tolerance.
This Is an age of tolerance. Toler
ance In art, tolerance in science, tol
erance In politics, tolerance in religion.
It is an age when reasonable. men are
willing to come together for a com
parison of convictions upon the great
est and most serious questions that can
engage the attention, or tax the under
standing of the philosopher, the scholar
or the sage. It is an age when a small
nation of llmltod resources, with a
population, of thirty millions of people,
whips to . subjection a nation of four
hundred millions of people and com
pels the oldest and most powerful, em
pire In the world to sue for peace, and
Implores the little victor to state her
terms and to name her Indemnity; but
begs her not to tuke away her domin
ions. In the meanwhile all Europe
and Great Britain watch the game of
war with the keeneBt Interest, but never
leaves the "side lines" nor Interferes
with the players.
And, moreover, this Is the Europe of
Nicholas of Russia, of Frederick Will
lam of Germany, and of Napoleon of
France. But how cluingett the times. It
Is an age of intelligence .against force,
of light against, darkness. . It Is the
age when rich men and women build
hospitals and asylums for the maimed,
for the sick and the weak In mind, and
found colleges and great universities
for the education of their kind, without
money and without price, and leave b
hlnd them Imperishable monuments of
their love for mankind and receive that
renown. which never dies; for their
sepulchre not the stately shaft, but the
noblest of all shrines wherein their
glory Is treasured lit the grateful hearts
of the people,-".' It is an age when for the
lirst time In Ahe history of the world,
woman Is recognized for What slie'can
do in attr In literature, tn scholarship,
and Is allowed. with some limitations to
control her own property and wherever
weak her protection . Is left to man's
generosity. This Is certainly the great
est stage of all the world; the United
States of America, the greatest coun
try of this greatest age, and the Benev
olent Order of Elks, the noblest non
sectarian, organization that compre
hends and teaches the spirit of this
remarkable time. ' -
Believe in One God.
Its creed Is built on Justice, fidelity,
charity and brotherly love. It teaches,
therefore, , to render to every one his
dues. It believes In a practical con
formity to every law' and principle of
rectitude and honor. The Elks believe
in one Ood, the creator and ruler of the
universe, and In a system of rewards
and punishments. The Lodge of Elks
Is broad In its sympathies, It Is com
posed of men, loves mankind, and is
therefore charitable. It would relieve
the distress of humanity. It repudiates
selfishness and appeals to our best de
sires for our fellow-men.
Since our last service the grim visitor
has knocked at our rl,r ami noiio.i
away three of our number; to answer
mai summons winch certainly awaits
us all.
The first, Malyand C. Drinker,

reached us by telegraph. . He was
a stranger among strangers, but some

and kindred, and these offerings here to
night will serve to keep his memory
green yet a little while.

Across the storied ages, through many a

Eternity. .- v ,

Doubts gather In life's pathway like black
storm-clouds in the sky, -And
the stoutest-hearted tremble-when
the tempest passes by; " - -There
are steep and thorny, places, end
trials hard to bear;
We sometimes marvel how the weak en
dure their weight of enre,.
Why the friends we prize the dearest are
first to faint and fall
The first to close life's Journey In the sleep
that comes to all;
Yet Hope's bright star Is shining In the
. distance, far and fair, -And
our eager footsteps hasten when the
friends we love are there.
There Is blended joy and sadness along
Life's thorny path,- ir , .
There Pleasure holds his revels and Grief
' her seasons hath; .
Pride holds his fleeting carnival, the bub-
ble of a day, '
But Love alone is lasting, and will never
pass away; . . . ' . ... , ;' ,
For Love is heaven's. gift , to man, to
, keep his Eden near,
His Heaven on earth, his happiness,, till
Time shall disappear; ...
And by her aid he journeys toward the
land he cannot-see, 1

Beautiful to be.

Yet some reach It In a deaade, and some

But be It days, or be It years, or when-
soe'er It ends,

Will till the desert places with the flow'r

The thornless flow'r of friendship, balm-
of breaking heart and. tear,
Whose fragrance, like sweet Incense,
when the head is bow'd with grief,
Raises Up the drooping spirit, 'give's the
fainting, souLrellef, , ,
Along this trying Journey there are past
ures always fair, - ;
And glimpses of God's garden in Its
beauty, too ar there; - . .
There are blossoms, 'mid the. thorns, and
the birds slug overhead, ,
And pictures of enchantment, to delight
our eyes, are spread ; '
Tho' the road leads through the desert,
there are living springs to cheer;
Tho' the selfish are about us, yet some
cherished friends are near;
And who shall say that Eden's Joys to -us
i have been denied
When the land Is filled with beauty, and
our loved are by our' side!
,
The absent friends we mourn, and vainly
look for through our teurs,
Are bound to us by sacred lies through all
the passing years; I
We may not see their faces,, but their
mem'ry cannot fade .
Till life, and love, and friendship in a
common grave are laid.
And the pulsings and the ' strivings of-
manklnd are at an end,
And the present with the future n one
symphony shall blond,
And the choirs of Heaven proclaim, in
--Anthems most sublime,
Eternity's good morning,' and "the last"
good night of Time! ' "

How Mrs: Reese Became a Convert
Her Arm Was Useless, arid Could
Not Be Moved Without Puln
How She Was Cured,. ' .
Mrs. John Reese, South Pottstown,
Pa.,' stiys: "It is njw about a year since
I was curved of one of. the worst attacks
of rheumatism I ever had. I had tried
all kinds of remedies and had several
doctors, tut nothing did me any good;
so I concluded to try Munyon's Reme
dies. 1 never hnd any faith In homeo
pathy; I confess now I am a firm be
liever In It. After taking the Rheuma
tism remedy a few days I was able to
raise my arm, which I had not moVed
for two weeks without ...the most in
tense torture. Within a short time I
was completely cllred, and'lt was Per
manent, for during the past year I have
not had the slightest return of the dis
ease." ,
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu
matism cured In from tone to five days.
It never (alls to. cure sharp, shooting
pains lil the arms, legs, sides', back or
breast,' or soreness In any part of the
body in from one to three hours. It Is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
Btlff and swolen Joints, stiff back, and
all pains In t,he hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism,' sciatica, lumbago, or pain
in the back are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Horiie Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
speclBci for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cents a bottle.

.Mr. Johnson's Eulogy. "
C. B. Johnson, of Wllkes-Barre.: pro
nounced an eloquent eulogy. s In beauti
ful language he told of the duty of Elks
and the meaning of the evening's cere
monies. In part he spoke as follow!):
1 Every Elk must, as- an -indispensable
pre-requlsite to. membership In. the
order, be a believer In a Supreme Being,
and Elklsm reads this being in the glad
light I have all too feebly attempted to
portray. Hence, the prime pilrpoSe of
Elklsm Is charity against which all Its
other purposes but lean as adjuncts or
Incidents. ., , -'
As Elks, we have no politics; no re
ligion other than the religion of God
thus translated; but we seek to have
and to inculcate charity. We have" but
one secret, and that Is as to the names
of the recipients of such practical char
ity in ,the ordinarily accepted meaning
of thef word as.-circumstances accord
Us the welcome privilege of performing.
'.'The faults of our brothers we write
upon the sand; their virtues upon the
(ablets of love and memory." And
this is surely one of the noblest o fill
the guises in which charity can make
Itself known.
This is, however, no brotherhood Of
saints, and I sincerely trust that n?ne
Of my hearers will interpret what I am
saying as emanating from a desire- to
create that ImpresBlon. , But it is or
ganized, to do good on lines along whloli
the very humblest and poorest may do
It If he will. ;i
An Honored Custom. , . t!
And we gather today, In accordance,
as you have been told, with an hon
ored custom of the order, to give trib
ute to the mpinory of those who were
once with us In these pleasures and du
ties, but have since been summoned
to the great beyond. We knew them
"well, and loved them because we knew
thera.welj.. We' are not here, after the
manner of the stock obituary eulogist,
to credit them In your ears with hav
ing possessed all the virtues In the
calendar,, and, with haying, therefore,
beeh Impossible men. They were .but
human, jllke. ourselves,- and they had
their, faults. These we have 'written
upon the sand. They had also helr
virtues. These we have inscribed Upon
the tablets of love and memory. And
not the least of these virtues 'in our
eyes, the greatest of thm was their
devotion to the tenets -of this order.
No man can yield, (hat devotion and be
bo seriously bad us to carry him, beyond
the reach of, the Wondrous charity of
he God that made him and, "with all
his frailties, placed him here; for hi' his
feeble way he had striven himself to be
charitable. In the fullest and noblest
sense, and this to-.fulfill the -first and
the last, the alpha and .the omega of
the commandments. . " ' ' ,"
We cannot forget that these, ' our
dead, helped us rear the beautiful home
that Elklsm has secured to Its con
tingent In this fair city a'nd -where it
promises and nt. a little -from the
epur of the chaste and beautiful em
bellishments of that home to nourish
In well doing. We cannot, we do not
ichose to forget that they shared with
us In the perplexities, the disappoint
ments. 'the sorrows that almost inevlt-
ably attend the earlier ana ieeDier
vears of all the organizations of men.
iand that they endeared themselves to
:us In thus becoming the willing co-
bearers of these burdens. We have no
.monument of stone to rear upon the
mounds that now contain all that is
left of the.lr mortal bodies. - we nave
ho tablets of brass on whjch to grave
!the records of the good they did. ' But
in our hearts we hold 'them In tender
iand unfading recollection, for, ,we were
brothers In what we., esteem .to ue a
glorious cause, and In that cause they
were fi-ood-arid faithful servarltRf AirfU
that they were so, gave us Impulse to
tvart with them, if unwillingly, sun
confidingly. ' ' ' - ' .
