' Bedford, Va.. Dec. 6. President .lec Harding Sunday redeemed a nroftiise to his boyhood friend, Hen ry, M. Stowe, now a blind resident of the Elks National home here, and practiced his own precepts of "rnem otv's revealmcuts in fellowships and friendships" which formed the basis of an address delivered at the an nual memorial exercises at the na tion home of ihe B, P. O. E. 1 It was at the invitation of Mr. Stowe, formerly a business- man of Marion. O., that Senator Harding, as ' a candidate Tor the republican presi dential nomination, promised to de liver the memorial services oration at the Elks national home, and when lies was nominated he repeated his promise, - So Sunday he delivered the ad dress, eclaring in the presence of the friend of his youth that "it is notgiv cn to! all to inspire great shafts ,1A granite or tablets of bronze, but it is the privilege of every livinT? be ing to plant an everblooming friend ship in some fellow breast and gath er all the fruit it bears." Cm-ess fh Open. The oration was delivered in the ijpcit beneath the mild sun of an In dian summer day. from the portico of the national home, while 2,000 Elks and friends from all parts ot Virginia gathered to take part -in the exercises in memory of H brothers who had died during the year. Sen ator Harding was introduced py Grand Exalted Ruler William M. Abbott of Sail Francisco. ,v ', "Tiie greatest gift in God's master bestowal upon man is memory," said Senator Harding. "It is the storehouse of everything in life worth while. It fashions char-, acter and inspires all hdpe.' It takes all the impression of human exist ence and by some alchemy of love, removes the dross and makes golden the cross of faith which is the rosary to every human prayer. "One cannot fancy a life fit to live without the memory's revcal roents in fellowships and friendships; without love and attachments; with out encouragements and endear ments; without inspirations and the consciousness- of achievements. Meet in Memory.: "Vc are met in memory today; in grateful, fraternal memory, in be half of those who have taken the fork of the road to eternal peace. Ours is not a memorial of grief. Only happy memories are becoming to the departed, only helpful mem ories are worth while to the living. If the departed brethren could know of our memorial, if we could solve the great mystery of mysteries and know that they knew, we should, still atune our memorial abSvC the murmurings of sorrow. For them the book of life is dosed. ' Sorrow has had its becoming' expressions, but normal, natural interest is in the living. Indeed we are met' for the living., else this meeting would : be in vain. We arc met to remind ourselves that as we live, so shall our memories endure. We come to a fresh conclusion tuday that in our daily lives we are making mem orials and it. is the privilege of every human being to leave such a mem ory . as he would like to have re called." - I Of the disappointments et public lifeSenator Harding said: v "How often do we criticize harsl ly, when we ought to bestow a gar land. We do it in private life and leave a wound where praise would be more becoming. We do it in public life and withhold from sacri ficing public men the one compen sation that might atone."
