The meet ing which followed the Immense mili tary ntul civic parade, marked the formal opening of the annual reunion of the grand lodge of Elk. Charles K. V kett, grand exulted ruler, delivered the following speech at today' session: After preaching the gospel of Elk dom at frequent Interval during the year nam. It might seem that the subject would become a trite one. It la wild by thone who have been priv ileged to gnre upon the worka of the rrent maulers that the longer you be hold them the more you com pure them with other works of art, the more beauties are unfolded to your eyes. The more I study the birth and his tory and principles of Elkdom, the more I compare It with other great civic organisations, the more I see In It to admire, to cherish and to love. It Is not the creature of accident. It Is not for the passing day. It has a permanent abiding place among the enduring forces of progress. The cen turies preceding made It possible. It was foreordained by the Irresistible logic of human advancement. The lime was ripe, for Its birth. Over Us cradle Destiny waved Its prophetic wand and the myriad Invisible voices of the future rang forth, In glorious anthem. Hall, Hall, Hall." There is among nil the forces of civilisation an independence mid close relationship. Analysis of progress reveals a broad ening In all human thought, The def inition of freedom Is being enlarged in oope ami comprehension as the years KO by. The emancipated seem anxious to a tone for the bigotry of former times, on every side may be seen the mnnlfetiitlin of a hljfher life, a broader thoiteht, a more humane con ception of the relations of man to man. In perfect harmony and sympathy with the Influences that have wrought these wonderful changes and keeping step with the grand army of progress, stands today the Benevolent and Fro tecllve Order of Elks. Elkdom should commend Itself to the Judgment of all honest minds. It possesses many pos sibilities for good. It Is a many sid ed order. While fraternal In charac ter, It differs from all fraternal or ganizations. It has no prototpye. It Is an American order. Horn beneath the Stars and Stripes of our own re public. In every instinct It Is Ameri can. It paramount principles are symbolical of our people. Elkdom be lieves In charity, teaches charity, prac tices charity. Not the charity that can be estimated In dollars and cents. Not the charity that seeks reward through public applause, but doing good for Its own sake. Charity with out ostentation Is the great law of order. But we believe In a higher charity charity In speech, In conduct, In friendship, in love, in all the rela tions of man to man. True charity uplifts the fallen, strengthens the weak, assists the unfortunate, forgives the erring, befriends the friendless, and clasps within Its loving arms all who need the warmth and sympathy and lore of human hearts. The portals of Elkdom are thrown wide to all manly applicants, It draws no distinctions. In the republicanism of our government and democracy of our Ideas, all are equal. Our order Is constructive and not destructive. The spirit of Iconoelsam dwells not within Its circle. It mo lests no temple, desecrates no altar, profanes no sanctuary. It robs no man of his faith, attacks no creed, fcrltlclies no sect. It shadows no dawn, darkens no hope, saddens no love, It does not seek to supplant the church or usurp Us functions. Us re ligion I humanity. Its creed Is frleml- jshlp, It golden rule tho love of fel- low man, wnicn emnrnce arid in eludes within Itself the best, the nob lest truest Impulses of the human heart.
