BRILLIANT ADDRESS OF HON;
MATTHEW BERING BEFORE THE
ELKS' LODGE OF FRANKLIN. PA.
The Occasion Being The Annual Memorial Exercises of Frank
lin Lodge, No. 110, B. P. O. E., and the Attendance The
Largest in the History of the Organization.
The following is the able ad
dress delivered before the Elks'
lodge of Franklin, Pa., by Hon.
Matthew (Jering of Mat I smout h :
Exalted Ruler and My Coun
trymen: The most, luxuriant
faney of an opium eater, reveling
iu I he wild delirium of an exeited
imagination, cannot pluck words
from I he garden of language, or
weave a picture upon the tapestry,
of the tinman mind in exaggera
tion of the hallowed purpose
which has brought together,
amid these peaceful surround
ings, such an assembly of men
and women in order to obliterate
the seeming cold oblivion into
which our friends have been
consigned and, in.memory, to re
call their deeds for good.
More than three centuries ago
nature, as if despairing of her
ability to create a transcendental
intellectuality, rose from the
lethargy of the times and gave to
posterity that myriad. minded
genius whom we call Shakes
peare, among whose innumerable
gems that glisten in the fiera of
his rare creations we find one,
where, as if with the spirit, of
prophetic intuition, he says:
"The evil that men do lives after
them.
The good is off interred with
their hones."
During the complete revolution
of a year and within the entire
cycle of the calendar there is no
gentler, tenderer or holier month
than the one in which was born
the divine architect of that re
ligion which has done so much for
civilization of the human re.ee. It
is most, tilting, therefore, that
this organization, whose super
structure is builded upon that
charity so strongly exemplified in
the life of the lowly Nazarine,
should have . selected the month
wherein was enacted the tragedy
of his birth in which to pay
tribute to its dead; to pause along
the pathway of our lives, and
speculate upon that indescrib
able and unfalhonable something
which is vaguely designated as
death.
Within the portals of this
sacred month, joy and sorrow
mingle in sweet communion with
eacli olher; at its very threshold
we pause in our grief to complain
that the divine reaper was not
content to wait for its .'-human
harvest until age had withered
those gone before and while and
bending heads were bowed to ttie
earth '. destined to receive them;
near ils exit ami at Christmas
tide joy brightens hope and il
luminates fhe mind of human
kind because a Saviour has heen
born. And then. within a slender
span of Heeling days joy and sor
row are linked together. Some
times .. sorrow and suffering
causes complaint, but great grief
seldom finds expression in words.
Tragedies may loiter in I he
hearts of your neighbor of which
you never know, and though
years may wait upon them you
hear no moan. The greatest, grief
is voiceless and "the holiest hope
is dumb." II takes a stout heart
to endure pain with patience and
requires courage to hear sorrow
with a smile.
In the presence of such a con
course of sorrowing friends of
the departed dead, no epitaph
need be written, no language ut
tered to recall remembrance of
the past, no words so potent as
the silent song of dealh, for in
the invisible telegraphy between
soul and soul, the sweetest
epitaph in all the world is found
and speech hut mocks the hallow
ed memory of the dead.
In this playhouse, now so fit
tingly sombre and mirthless as
to justify the appellation of be
ing a synonym of sorrow, the acts
and deeds of men and women are
mimicked on the stage;, their
hopes and fears and aspirations
ami conduct either good or bad
are reproduced, but when at last
tlie curtain of life has fallen on
the scene all caricature and
masquerading is hidden from the
idle gaze of curiosity while we,
the living, on this holy day con
secrate it to a sorrow and' pause
to peer with lingering eyes into
the mysteries of the world be
yond the sun.
These, meetings each year, 6o
aptly termed a lodge of sorrow,'
v
intensify the bond between the
cradle ami the grave, and em
phasize. o all the world that this
organization of fraternalism has
for its purpose, not only joy for
the living, but tears for the dead.
They throttle hate, and stimulate
affection, blot, out resentment and
foster friendship. Charity without
display, sympathy without, ostenta
Uon, friendship without effusion,
hopo with its highest and loftiest,
aspirations, faith in the universal
brotherhood of its organization,
is the church and religion in
which every member of this order
is a most willing communicant.
So true to every instinct of na
tural religion are the tenets of
this fraternity that, although
festivities may be at their height,
when the hour before midnight
comes, the dead are not forgotten.
Heads are bowed,, laughter
ceases, mirth is dissipated, and
we stand in fancy, as the sentinel
of time strikes eleven, . at the
tomb of our unforgolten dead.
If I may be permitted, I trust
not inappropriately to para
phrase the laconic, expression of
the great and crafty Cardinal of
Trance, there is iu the bright
lexicon of our order no such word
as selfishness. Friendship in
this- membership is, more than
an idle chimera, it is real, im
pressive, admirable, and if every
tear which glistens in the eye of
sorrow, or every silent- .sob that
quivers on the lips of us who
speak the name of I hose to whom
we pay this homage were studded
stars in heaven, their aggregated
brightness would not cast: more
radiance to light our. ; pathway
than the enabling characteristic?
of which I have so feebly spoken
We yearn for a. voice that, is still
and plead, in fancy . that those
who have;, gone before, may stand
upon the horizon that marks the
line of demarcation between the
finite and infinite and beckon to
us eonie but reason, that cruel
critic of faith, assassinates our
holiest hopes and "makes us
rather bear I hose ills we have
lhan fly. to others we know not
Thus reason stands aghast and
staggers at the thought of
death, while faith courts mar
riage with dissolution. The lat
ter is Ihe rarest gern that
sparkles in the diadem of a soul,
and as we stand tiptoed upon the
apex of. a life whose sands are
nearly run, we peer with seeming
hopelessness into the awful un
certainty of the future and find
no consolation until faith
stretches forth her hands and
welcomes us to hospitable shores.
One beautiful evening in
Venice before the sun had sunk
to rest, I sat under the shadows
of Ihe cathedral of San Marco to
hear the soft Italian voices as
they sang an arie from Verdi or
Donizetti, and listened to the
silent sounds of Ihe gondolas as
they danced upon the grand
canal; the unterrified doves of the
plaza cooed at my feet while a
companion and ' myself sipped
coffee and watched with inexpres
sible admiration the exquisite
graces of the Venetian girls as
they passed by. With an unac
countable, inspiration, forgetting
my companion, I rushed to the
gallery across the way so rich
with Titian's works, and just as
the selling sun was streaming in
the window I stood, as if trans-
fixed, before his masterpiece, the
Magdalene, and as the dying sun
beams kissed her face and glist
ened in her auburn hair, I saw
the halo of that religious faith
which smiles at dealh.
Between the optimism of faith
and pessimism or reason, we
tremble " like an aspen leaf
quivering in the crevice of a rock
and cry in our helplessness for
some surcease from such emo
tions. No answer to our cries.
Death itself does not cause as
much sorrow as the separation
which it creates.
One of the most expressive
words in our. vocabulary and
which tongue can utter in separa
tion, so desolate, so sorrowful. To
the dead it is only another word
for peace and rest, to the living
its fearfulness is indescribable
and seems to be the greatest
sorrow in all the world.

Death is the valet who opens
