The progtainme as printed above then followed and was attentively listened to, with every evi deuce of appreciation by the congresa- tiou, especially the eloquent address by Rev. J. L.Jones, and the eulogy to the lepiited brethren by Brother Geo. M Brown. Below we give the address .of Rev. Jones in lull, but defer the publica tion of Mr. Brown's remarks until Thursday, for lack of space today. .Mr. Jones said : From time immemorial it has been a a custom among nations and communi ties to do honor to their beloved dead by perpetuating their names on historic page and their deeds in poetry and eong Far back in the myetic, buried pist, when the light of civilization and learn ing bad but begun to diffoso itself over ancient Greece, Homer, in his blind old age, went from village to village tiuging the exploits of Grecian heroes and Gre cian gods. Gentlemen of the Brotherhood of Elks, You meet today in memory of one, dead : who a few inonttis ago faced with vou the question so often asked Is life worth living?" If those who have gone into tbe graye land of grim realities were permitted, no doubt they would answer, "It depends upon what kind of life vou live?'' The good softer with tbe bad, the innocent Brieve with tho guilty, the strong are dependent upon the weak and all alike fall before the treat giant Death, which leaves man's life as a tale that is told. Ia reviewing the past we aie per suaded that the lite ol conquest is a failure, because it is strewn with wreck age, lo.-it in tne mau waves oi amumou, tnch as Napoleon and Hanibal; and Fame is a nbantom that allures into tho quicksands of despair where those de ceived thereby weep with an Alexander, and. like Ce.'fsar, are slain by those of his own besom. Wisdom sought the secret of the four winds of the earth and hailed the mighty deep, requiring it to yield the ec cret; but the wise man, old and tottering on tho verge of the grave, despairingly cried. "All ia vanity of vanities!" The rich send footmannod and postiliioncd 1- equipage, accompanied uy pricceiy eE corts to conduct happiness and peace through arched gateways of triumph to banquet from golden plate and revel with boon companions. But, no, of all men the monev setter sees less of real happiness and peace, and debauchery has darkened eoine of the brightest lights among men, hurling them into All that Good Samaritan" lives by actuating many a lifo to similar deeds Florenco Nightingalo lirea repeatedly while Clara Baiton's memory ia perpetuated by tho Red Crofw Society. Yua, "it is not all of life to livn," for while peace hovers uvsr the hbIiis of the good, their characteiB will, teproduco tliemselveH, aud although the good they do while they livo nny not be appre ciated at tho time, yet like as Napoleons' loutB aiter twenty years bleaching on the cold, bleak iele of St. Helena ware brought back on a golden bartio. and amidst shouts and tears were buried on the banks of the Sein among tho people he loved so much. And like as when .Mailt Antony pleaded the cause of murdered C:esar before the Roman Eenate, exposing his wounds so ruelly inllicted, the people wept for vengeance, (or then tbey saw it was he that led them to victory. So with the good who aro misunderstood, "Truth crushed to earth will rice again." And while tho marble or bronze over their ashes crumbles and corrodes into the forgotten, yet not their lives. For as civilization vwtit us even step in suc ceeding generation cornea ou, their faults and failures become unknown, but their good deeds etand as indices. Those that have lived to tho greatest purpose and blssed the world most have led lives of humilijy, Eobriety and char lty in cloee communion with God. "He that humbleth himself ehall be exalted." All truo greatnees and goodnesj is de rived from God and the God-thought and purpose running through the pas sive lives of men have cnulJod and brought forth from ob?cuiity a Luther, Melaugthon, Cary, Bunyou and othere in short every good mau or woman that has graced the stage of action, and if we permit it to enter, permeate and possess our lived, will finally bring us from the ob3curity of mortality to the effulgent glory of the redeemed, eternal in heaven.
