LODGE OF SORROW. Newberry Elks Pay Beautifully Sol emn and Impressive Tribute to Memory of Departed Dead. Newberry Lodge, No.1103, B. P. 0. Elks on Sunday afternoon paid a beautifully selemn and impressive tribute to its departed dead. The exercises were held in the opera house, which was appropriately ar ranged for the occasion. Newberry Lodge has lost only one member during the past year-Alex ander T. Brown, a man who was loved by his brother Elks, by the people of Newberry, and by all who' knew him. Exalted Ruler Fred H. Dominick presided at the memorial session Sunday afternoon, and every officer was in his station. There was a full attendance of the members of the Lodge, and there were several Elks present from Columbia and other sections of the State. The city of Newberry was represented by an au .die-nce which filled the opera house.' The program began with a piano solo, "Pilgrm's Chorus from Tann hauser,'" by Wagner, feelingly ren dered by Miss Mazie Dominick, to whose skill in arYanging the program much of the solemnity aad effective ness of the session s due. "We shall' Meet But We Shall Miss Him," was, sung by the cnoir, and was followed by the opening ceremonies from the ritual, including the chorus, "Near er, My God, To Thee." "Auld Lang Syne," the opening ode, was sung by the choir, and a! beautiful prayer was offered by Dr. J. W. Wolling, pastor of Central Methodist Church. "Face to Face" was sung by Dr. Roy-Z. Thomas, of Newberry college.! This appropriate selection was ren dered by Dr. Thomas with feeling and with rare musical skill. "Abide With Me,' was sung by the choir, and was followed by the readng of "Thanatopsis,'" by Mr. E. H. Aull, a devoted Elk and a life-long friend of Mr. Brown. In the reading 'of this exquisitely beautiful and sol emn poem Mr. Aull gave evidence of his deep feeling, and his expression and his diction were in thorough ac cord with the spirit of the'poem and of the occasion. "0! Divine Redeemer'' was ren dered by Miss Pauline Gilder, whose sweet and cultured voice has on many occasons thrilHed audiences in Newberry and elsewhere. Hon. Cole. L. Blease delivered a eulogy to - the departed dead. Mr. Blease :began his address by refer-] ring to the noble work done by the Order of Elks and to the fact that< throughout the length and breadth of the country at ths hour the members of the Order. were paying tribute to the memory of their departed broth- .] ers. "Only one of our members,"'he said, "has failed to answer to his name. Strong, robust and rugged, he would have been the last man whom you would have pointed out as the first to be called from the labors of earth. This Lodge of Sorrow is called,''' he said, "to] speak of him, to .,peak of 1 him as we knew him, to speak of him as Newberry knew him-big-hearted, pen-handed, always ready and will-< ing to help those who needed it, and 1 as true and as upright and as honor- a able in his dealings as it is possible I for human to be.'' Mr. Blease spoke of the enviable record of Mr. Brown as alderman from his ward and as mayor of the city of Newberry, say- t ing that the city had never had a I mayor who gave her a cleaner or at nor moral or progressive adminis ration than did Alex .Brown. I1 He was an Elk, and he was a true < Elk. said Mr. Blease. When a broth- i r wen to him he needed not to ex-1 peet and did not expect ever to seer he back of his hand. And not only hat, he said, but he was one to whom 1ll men could go. He did not prac ice his charity at home only, nor in the lodge only, "but to the outside world Alex Brown was a household word when it came to charity and to open-heartedness.'' "Suffice it to r say,'' he said, "that you knew and t that I knew that in him we all had r a friend. In his death not only did the Elks lose a fied, but South( Carolina lost a friend, and the coun ty of Newber.ry and the city of. New berry lost a citizen of whom they] might well be proud, and I know that if he had been spared to live longer in this world he would have gone to higher places of honor.'' "I heard one of the most dist in guished ministers of South Carolina in paying a last sad tribute to one of the citizens of a ne.ighboring city, in the beginning,of his address say thatI death is 11o catastrophe, it is but the opeul gtetway througi.lh which wev ali must pass. to p)eace, to glory and to happinecss, it is but the openi gateway t roJugh whichi ur Savior passed: it is but the open gatewvay through< which we all must pass. anid I am onme of thos who have not yet believed : that there is such a thiag as death, said Mr. Blease. In concluding his remarks Mr. Blease eloquently and beautifully expressed his belief in the Christian ereed of the immortality of the soul and of a final meetingofthemembers :f the -Order with their departed brother in another aud a better world. "Rock of Ages'" was beautifully and effectively rendered by Miss Genevie've Evans. The selection is )ld 'out ever new, and the manner in which it was rendered appealed to the hearts of her hearers stiongly. The ritual was followed in the elosing ceremonies, and the audience joined in the singing of the long meter doxology and was -- dismissed with the benediction by Dr. Wolling. Miss Mazie Dominick, now of Chester, where sh'e is teaching music, but whose home is in Newberry, was the piano accompanist throughout the program. She is a musician of rare skill and culture., and for her efforts in arranging the program and Cor her assistance in its renditon she as the sincere thanks of the Order. The members of the chorus were: Uiss Pauline Gilder, Miss Genevieve Evans, Mrs. Alice Robertson, Miss &artha Johnstone. Miss Adeline Johnstone, Mrs. Sam B. Jones, Mrs. r. K. Johnstone, Dr. Roy Z. Thomas, Ur. Sam. B. Jones, Dr. A. J. Bowers, Ur. E. K. Ruff, Mr. Alan Johnstone, Jr. No more solemn or impressive cer mony has been seen in Newberry in ecent years.
