memorial memoria modal morial services In the Knights of Pythias hall ball at yesterday afternoon There was a large attendance and after the services at the hall hail they the visited the cemetery in a bod and placed floral of offerings offerings upon the graves of their departed members of which there are a e up Ul to the present time but nine Preceding the ad address address address dress of the day da which was delivered by hy Rev John Edward Carver of the First Presbyterian church the ritualistic service ice ill of the order was gone through Mr Carver Carer said in part We Ve have met this afternoon on that we Ye might pay our tribute of respect to the memory of or those who In the past have helped us both by b precept and example We t e 0 call it a material age ago and yet never was there a time when more thought was wits given to tho the influence of life Ufe upon life lifee We e occasionally near Hear that memorial sen services servIces ices are but superficial This opinion is current I am sure only among those who do not attend them This is the sev soy seventh seventh memorial service that I have con conducted conducted conducted ducted this spring and in each one I have noticed that there has been a deep feeling of sincerity and profound thought thoughtfulness thoughtfulness It is but trite to say that the Brotherhood of ol Railway Trainmen stands for the brotherhood of service We e read I of heroes living far from us We TO are arc thrilled at the stories of their fidelity to duty even en in the midst of danger and of their faithfulness In small things His History History tory tor has recorded for us lives of wide distinction that were faithful In their day I and age but we Ye usually overlook the fi fl fidelity fidelity I delity delft and the heroism of our own place I and of our own time Fidelity of Members I Your order composed as It is of or con conductors conductors conductors brakemen firemen and amI switch switchmen men inca has given to those who know kno its I II record of its individual members instances I I of its fidelity in small things and loyalty I Ito to duty in great grat danger How seldom we wever I ever ver bear of an engineer or a fireman I being faithless at tho the post of duty du On the other hand their fidelity has becom so sd commonplace that it is usually usual un unnoticed unno unnoticed noticed no How seldom do we ever Iver hear of discourtesy or indifference shown to chil children children dren the aged the invalid or the woman trav alone The brakeman may be working over time he may ma be bc Wearied and weakened through the loss of sleep and yet he be has strength time and inclination to be courteous and faithful Jo to Q those in trusted to his care Well indeed is it that lives proven so faithful in the service should be remembered Your order is called a aL brotherhood and your our auxiliary a sisterhood These words imply much of deepest worth Brotherhood and nd sister hood really are founded of or service Laves that know kno not the meaning of service are too shallow shallO to realize the meaning of brotherhood There Is a n tendency today to drop the real meaning of many man of our words and words which heretofore have meant great reat realities stand now for empty assumption So liberty libert Is changed to license and so brotherhood and sisterhood are weakened to mere sentimentalism What Brotherhood Means Never Neer wOve were there so many man demands made upon our attention as there is to today toda today day da and sad sa to say most of these de do demands demands of mands call us to the consideration worldly things at the price of forgetting the tim deeper spiritual things So it is that those who formerly found their greatest In friendship f and social inter intercourse intercourse pleasure course today are re dependent upon physical things for The joy and pleas pleasure pleasure ure tire once dented deri Id from quiet friendship must today brt b sought in the tile midst and the noise and bustle of our present day da attractions Arid Ad A d so we are prone to drop much that thea word brotherhood stands for out of our lIes and In its place en In enthrone enthrone Brother Brotherhood Brotherhood Brotherhood throne thront our present pre ent day pastime hood that is truest soon ripens into friend friendship friendship friendship ship In fact without true brotherhood friendship is possible We Ve could also no that lives devoid of the ideal and say sa of reality of services are lives incapable often deep and abiding friendships We Te hear it said today that men have not time timeto timeto timeto to form friends They The are busied at day and wearied at night and so it is that that which is best bOst in life is lost The saddest life I have hae known in Ogden was the life of a well educated well to do man who was too selfish to give ghe young oung time and service needed for the forming of friends After living In our city for forne five ne years vea he said with bitterness and anti tears I 1 have nave not one friend or close as associate associate in Ogden Our Debt to Our Friends It made me realize how much we owe to our friends From your our number there have passed away awa those who have min mingled with you in your times of toil toll and pleasure You can never realize how much The have un unconsciously unconsciously Unconsciously you owe to your our friends They consciously taught you OU strengthened you and cheered you This is doubly true when your friends have been from the number of those of your our own calling They have thus been enabled to feel Ceel your our trials and understand your our dangers and temptations as none others would have done These nine empty chairs therefore speak eloquently to those of you who have felt the touch of the lives Jives of those which they represent I am sure that each one of them brings to you some message and anti andas antias andas as you go out to take up the dangers anti and the duty dut of the morrow I am sure that in some way you Jou are better fitted for those duties and braver for those dangers because these lives have lived and nd you have known them And the lesson of this day for us 18 who isho live ll is that we e mily so realize the tho reality of the th meaning of ot I brotherhood and anti sisterhood that our Ih Ihma may ma so Impress those with whom we toil and those who sitar our pleasures that th t thEn when hEn our time comes to go whether that thai time be hf soon or 01 late we WP may ma leave lea many man strengthened lifted and bettered because we WI have hae lived I believe that the tho lie tie tf of brotherhood is in lives that have b been en com corn polled to share sharI dangers dan ers together We 1 see this in the Grand Army Arm of the th Republic i today They Thc braved death together atil I time does docs not weaken the tie tiC and I be bi beli behove li hove ve secondly that you ou men who daily dail brave death at the throttle and in the of your duties have hap a n far deeper per realization of what brotherhood means thaw tha have hae the lives of or those who i know no danger dan lr T I have noticed this in times when n accidents nt or death has hns brought I and anti to of OUI I darkness sorrow one your homes May Mav that sense of oC lifes danger dang r I ever us liS to a deeper sense sene vt f lifes brotherhood i I
