THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 13 , 1907 CONTINUKn I'KOM 1'AOK 2 Our hope of a hereafter and fnir faith in iininortalit.v comes as n corollary to the Lclirf in the ex is'eiice of a Supreme IJeini ; winch i - the corner stone of the htrtic- t ore which we call I ) . P. O 10. "Faith is the subtle chain which binds us to the- Infinite ; the voice of a deep life within. " And so it is that in our darkest hour this belief in a Supreme He- iiitf , omnipotentoiuni present and omniscient , buoys ua abovc thc waves of despair and the inspired words of David , Israel's national hero , psalmist and soldier , shep herd and kitiff , well up within our hearts "Yea , though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil , for thou art with me. " It is well that our perplexity sooner or later gives way to the thought that the mysterious thing we call Death is but a tran sition. "Death is another life. We bow our heads. At going out. We think And straight another golden chamber of the Kings Larger than this we leave and lovelier. " And we have abiding faith that in this larger , lovelier golden chamber of the kings we will realize the fruition of the long ing that is within our hearts when we sigh for the touch of a voice that is still. How fitting , how appropriate that the day set apart by the laws ol our mighty clan for ser vices in memoriam should fall upon the first Sabbath of that blessed month which gave to humanity the purest , whitest light , the strongest incentive for unselfishness , the most unfailing strength of faith and hope , in short the greatest blessing the world has ever known , in the joy ous birth of the lowly Nax.arenc , our Savior. And the wonderful thoughts of humility , peace on earth , good will toward men , and the golden rule which came as a priceless gift to mankind on that beautiful morn when the Three Wise Men of the East followed the brilliant star across the highlands of Judah - dah to 13ethlchcmarc the most po tent for good citizenship in Amer ica and for good membership in this , mighty brotherhood called together today in more than a thousand cities of our fair , broad land to bow in humility before the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Universe , to hold brief commun ion with the spirits of our dead , and to utter a praver for their souls. The quarter million members of this order are virile , active busy American men , with red blood circulating in their veins , recruited from well nigh every walk in life ( save those to which some shame may attach ) and con stitute a tremendous social factor. Yet they find timenot alone on occasions such as these but in the daily routine of strenuous living , to pay occasional visits into the Kingdom of Peace , to appreciate the nicer things of life , to garner from the lives of their brothers some example 'for better , truer manhood and best of all to learn to Mend a hand. ' I wish you might know how they care for their own. As has been said 'There are no hungry Elks. There are no Elks in Potters field or county shrouds. They live by the way and lend to the Lord for they give to the poor. Their mission is to do good. ' It was by reason of the com mingling of our life currents and j the fraternal and social associa tion in our lodge that we learr.ed the virtues of our brothers , who have answered the eternal roll 1 call. call.They were not as ships that pass in the night andspeakto each other in passing , with only a sig nal shown and a distant voice , then darkness again and a sil ence ; but were rather as lightships , ships showing us the dangers of the hidden reef of Selfishness or pilot boats ready to place at our helms sure guidance to the safe haven of Brotherly Love. As our clan and our friends gather today to keep green the memory o f those noble Elks whose hearts have been pierced with the arrow of Death we in voluntarily gather from that memory many lessons of value. Chiefcst of all we learn that many men who "ever come into the limelight exert a powerful influ ence for weal or woe , wide reach ing in its extent. It is given to but few men to storm a citadel while all the world applauds. Seldom is it that men win the freedom of a nation or stamp out a mighty revolution. It is rarely given to one to mould by the matchless' ' H I n * Invites you to call and see their complete line of WINTER FOOTWEAR Useful and appropriate Christmas Gifts for all.

WATCH OUR WINDOWS ! power of oratory the controlling thoughts of a republic and not once in a generation appears a lionaparte who can change the map of a continent. And yet the plantation which Washington leaves has to be looked after. There are rails to be split when Lincoln lays down the axe. All the eloquence of a Webster never tilled an acre of soil. Some one had to settle down in Corsica. Peace hath her victories no less than war and it is of the'men who lived their humble lives , per formed well and truly each daily , monotonous duty , smiled when everything went dead wrong and came finally undishonored to the couch of their everlasting sleep , that 1 wish to remind you. The most humble , most unas suming brother of those we mourn had traits of character to be emulated , exerted an influence somewhere , somehow for good , soothed a wound in deepest feel ing , gave a little thought or time or means for sweet charity's sake and all in all left the world better for having lived in it. The main stay of some erring , troubled friend , the support of a loving trusting family , the dis penser of cheery smiles in every day life , the injector of sunshine into dark corners , these are the men who make life worth while , the bulwarks of the nation ) the salt of the earth , God's noble men. and it is of such as these lying out there in God's acre that we arc tenderly thinking today. Van Dyke tells us of the Fourth Wise Man who had heard of the King and started with all his worldly goods to lay them as z tribute at his feet. Pausing day by day to perform gentle , chari table deeds he came too late to see the Savior until the last dark hour of the crucifixion when hi ; gems were already spent in help ing others , but who nevertheless reaped the reward. We need no go back into the days of miracle and mysticism to learn the lessoi of reward for simpleright living Here is r present day mat splendidly endowed by naturx with ability to do some mighty deed for the weal of mankind and the desire to leave an immor tal name bso doing is strong within him. Long ere the oppor- tunitv conies he finds a simple [ duty of charity to perform. No one is looking. No plaudits will be forthcoming if he does it , no blame will attach if ho passes by on the other side of the road. What will he do ? Draw upon his storehouse so full of material for his spectacular performance ? Take of the time needed to do his mighty deed ? Delay his progress toward the field of his great prospective victory ? Little he knows he i ? at the parting of the way but if ey ee passes by this first opportunity he is on the road which leads to crabid selfishness. If he stops for each simple duty his life will perhaps round out with the great deed unperformed. And yet at the end will come the sweet words from the Master. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto " mc' ' . - This sort of religion , this sort [ of charity , simple.secret unosten tatious is what the tenets of our order would instill in us. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the father is this , to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself . unspotted from the world. " And as we go out into the sun shine this afternoon if these cere monies have instilled in us a de sire for that sort of Charity , have given us a realization that Jus tice , exact justice is due not alone to Elks but to all the world , have reminded us that Urothcrly Love means we are our brothers keepers , then it is as they would have it be whuse li , t sind : has winkled in thu glass who have opped the fall divide , have cross- id the dark still waters ami await is in the great beyond to give us greeting in that sweet bye and > ye. So ' 'Turn back the clock to the hour of Eleven That we may think of those on earth and in Heaven And bow in reverence to Sisters , Wives and Mothers And kneel in silence for Absent Jjruthers.
