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' '

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
