Sacred the country over among
the lodges of Elks’ as the day on
which deccused members of the order
are memorialized, the first Sunday in
December la always fittingly observed
by the lodges throughout the United
States and Its possessions, and this
year the occasion will be even more
elaborate In most cities than hereto
fore.
There are between twenty and thirty
Elks In Cordova, most of whom be
long to the lodges at Juneau and Hkug
way, where the day will he observed
by programs suited to the occasion.
It has been suggested that It would
be appropriate to Invite llev. Me
Rrldo to deliver a sermon to the local
Hike on that occasion, ami that some
of the members might assist in the
aervices. To JJlks this Sunday In
December is the apex of their year. It
brings to all the recollection of the
day when all things are leveled and
the common human heritage of a
mound of earth is all that Is left to
preserve the mortal story.
On that day Elks reflect on the
mystery of life nnd death, the com
ing and the going—the creation and
the end. Various are the creeds of
the Elks, but it is not their mission
to reconcile these beliefs. It is the
mission, however, of tho great and
growing organization to extoll the
vlrtures of the dead and to preach
the spiritual optimism that is at
least the seer of belief in ultimate
union.
It Is the essence of Elkdom never
to forget nn Elk living or dead. On
this memornl day the big heart of
Elkdom testifies publicly to that mem
ory, mo far as the dead are concerned
and exalts Its principles of humanity,
sympathy, aid and comfort.
