ELKS AT 8-VLT LAKE.
SALT LAKE, Aug. 11-Vtuh ami
Suit Lake extended a royal welcome
to the host of visiting Elk at the
Mormon Tabernacle today. 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.
