ELKS' MEMORIAL SERVICE
Some good musical numbers are
be ins; provided for the Elks lodge
o' sorrow•• which occurs next Suu- j
ilay afternoon. The Elks' nieaiori.il
sen-ice is held yearly to commemo
rate and perpetuate the memory of
departed brothers. Chivalry, and
tenderness, and romance, all ha\o
a part in these ceremonies which)
are beautiful in their solemnity.
The opening cdo is to the tune .
of "'Auld Lans Syne," ouo of the
sweetest and tenderest, and aunt,
pathetic strains that ever touched j
the human heart.
An impressive part of the service .s
the calling of the~names of the "ab
sent brothers." This is a time j
when silence reigus, and the audi- j
t-nce appear to be listening to hear _
the familiar answer "present" from
tome place in tlie Great Beyond.
After the secretary h.is proclaimed;
••We call in vain the names of out
absent brothers," the eulogist comes
forward aud sneaks affectionately oi
the kind deeds, cheering words and j
admirable traits of character of
those who have responded to the
kneeling camel and joined the "':i
uumeraV.e caravan "
The "lodge of sorrow" is f°r)
each "absent brother," regardless of
what may have been his worldly
xank or station. Humanity h.is
ever had its Valhailas. where those
who have fallen in buttle received
their mead of praise in unending
requiems, but to those who lived
in a simple v.ay the life of peace
and toil, aud whc. when overtaken
by disease, have fallen by the way
and left sweet memories of duties
well performed—these have nev3r
Lad dedicated to their memory a
special day until the Elks foundei
their "lodge of sorrow" in 1ST").
FACTS OF PROSPERITY VERSlS
FEARS
In a recent issue of the New York
Commercial, there is editorial com
ment on the fac>-.- that ought to
govern the b-icineso ot' the country
versus the fears that have depress
ed it since the beginning of the Eu
ropean -war. The facts are the
various items of wealth. The mil
lions of yards of cloth, the millions
of tons of coal and of steel, the
hundreds of millions of bushels of
food stni'fs, the almost incalculable
amount of the infinite variety of
things in hand and in process of
production—these are the facts.
The fears ,>re not susceptible of
such clear designation. Many of us
are at a loss to understand them,
or to understand the reason 'why
they should exist. We only know
that they have been manifest, and
that they- are closely related to the
one agency of distribution—money.
The New York Commercial thinks
that the trouble has arisen largely
through °ur disposition to regard
money as wealth in the sense that
it is the only form of wealth which
insures prosperity
In the complex development of
our industry and trade money is
■wealth to the aveiage man, because
if he has money he can get all these
other things. There is no getting
away from that conclusion whatever
philosophical theory we may enter
tain respecting the true offices of
money. We may argue about the
ship-wrecked sailor cast away on a
desert island with a spade, an ax
and a chest of gold, and establish
indubitably that the spade and ax
are far more valuable to him than
the treasure chest. But the an
swer to that is we are not on a
desert island. In our time and
place money is essential to buy the
ax and spade; and if we liaye not
the money, and do not use it right
ly, the ax i>nd spado remain idle as
wealth that is not availble. This is
'•ho basis on which rests our keener
appreciation of the value of money.
Thero is no doubt, however, thai
we stress this essential use of mon
ey too far; that wo are inclined
to forget, and sometimes do f°rget
entirely, that it is a means to an
end and not the end itself.
There is a power iu the posses
sion of money, and the man who
enjoys that power does not want to
relinquish it, although he may not
need it, and as a matter of fact it
might be better for himself and
for the community if he did not ex
ercise it. It is the fear of losing
this power tha^ despoils money of
its serviceable function; that puts
it in hiding or compels it to be
idle.
Money is the dynamo which trans
forms wealth produced to wealth
in use. To slacken the speed of
the machine for fear there will not
be profit iu all the energy it trans
mits is to disregard the work to be
done, and at the same time deprive
the owner and everyone else of it;
full service. Such a policy is the
more harmful from the fact that in
the broader and truer sense, money
is a public servant.
In the Present situation we have
tlx© facts of wealth. They are
abundant to our needs and to the
needs of millions of people who
look to us alone for supply. We
hav© just inaugurated a system of
money err fiuancial adjustment
which, according to all the money
experts, reduces the money fear to
i minimum; rnd, according to some
of them, abolishes it altogether. We
are in the position of one who has
everything to do with, and every
circumstance inviting to enterprise.
The facts all demand action. There'i
•io grounj for the fears. Oppor
tunities for the employment of
money abound and are being improv
ed. We have the • world as a
market for all the surplus wealth
we can produce; and this means,
if we get a strangle-hold on the
situation and make the best of
it. that .our Own abilities for con
sumption, our prosperity and out
living conditions will be stimulated
and improved.
Let us keep the facts of wealth
:u mind and dismiss the money fear.
