TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1 page geal H. Malone At Elks’ Memorial The following is a copy of tee that d address delivered at the Elis’ | Memorial Services on Sunday af- | terpoon at the First Methodist church by Hon. William H. Ma- lone: Exalted Ruler, Brother Ladies and Gentleman: Humanity, mortality. In these two words we visualize all the mysteries of life from the cradle tothe grave, The happiness and misery; aspirations and despon- ies; ambitions and discourage- ments; wealth and poverty; sick- ness and health; youth and age. All are embraced in the two simple i words. The. Benevolent. and Protective Order of Biks is a fraternity whose ; principles axe deyoted to the hap- piness of humanity. Nevertheless, it pauses in its work of humanity, to reflect upon the mortality of man. Its teachings to its mem- bers are that life must be so tived, and the relationship among each other, and among people, not only among those numbered on _ its} roster, will be such, that when mortality is ended, we can join the great beyond, without regret and with conscience free from re- proach, The grim reaper has been very severe with Key West Lodge 551 this year. Four of our beloved Elks, ( and honored members have been 'City Council, member of the Board | 982. : that death claimed him in his 40th | year. He died on April 27, 1932.) Qn the 13th of July, grief again knocked at the outer door of our} lodge room, and our fraternal home | was draped in mourning; and our! membership was bowed in sorrow; at the passing of our beloved ' brother, Joshua Curry. He was | a patriarch in Elkdom. He was! a charter member of our lodge.) Who is it that knew Josh Curry! who did not lave him? Josh Curry | was the servant of little things. He ¢6uld think of more little kind- ly things to do for one, than any- | one else in our lodge. When the: cares of business and the acuiniee of life were engrossing the balance of us, and the little things that make life pleasant were forgot-; ten, Josh always remembered them, No member of the Elks lodge nor, amy member of his family could be sick, but Josh would be there with a bouquet of flowers. And with his cheerful smile and his re- freshing flowers bring cheer to the sick room. . He-was always ready to send a cheerful note to the ab- sent members and like most of our other brothers who have passed, his life was given to public service. Brother Curry was born in Key West on the 25th day of Novem- ber, in 1860 and died at the age 72. He had served in a number of !publie positions. Member of the of Public Works; County Commis- sioner and Probation Officer. Un- ,der the Aldermanic form of govern. | ment, the president of the board) of aldermen was the acting mayor, in the absence of the mayor, and he served as acting mayor a number of times in Key West. As Chairman of the Street Committee of the City Council he supervised the construction and repair of our streets in the days when repairs were much needed, prior to our splendid paved streets of today. As Probation Officer, his later life was devoted to the childhood of this community. His activities ‘were not confined to the punish- ment of the delinquent boys and girls, but in exercising a kindly re- ‘straint, in order that they may be reclaimed from lawlessness and be- come useful citizens. There are many/ citizens of this community today who owe their present life of rectitude to Josh Curry’s kind advice and, supervision.

As an Elk he’ was consistently devot- ed to the principles taught by the fraternity. As a Rotarian, service was the actuating prineiple of his life. Brilliantly educated, yet liv- ing the life of a recluse, the bene- ficial work which he did was not flamboyantly spread upon the front page of the newspaper, but was done quietly in the scientific laboratory, delving into the mys- teries of nature, discovering the seed of disease in order that life and property may be preserved. The successful results of his re- search, discoveries and work were frequently credited to others. He cared nothing for public acclaim. The consciousness of work well done was sufficient reward for him. His life in Key West was an open book, read and loved of all men. This entire community was shocked and grieved at his passing. «i we here and now%join with his} widow in Key West and his family in the distant state of Pennsyl- vania in profound sdrrow at his loss.

This is closely We are told. in Holy Writ that God is Love, and without love to. our} fellow-beings there can be no fel-! lowship with God or man, there can be no friendship, there can be no harmony in human society. Brotherly Love is the proud dis-| tiction which men enjoy over all other forms of life. Fidelity. Faithfulness; fidelity to principle, to family and friends, fidelity to our flag and our céune try. It is said that fidelity is the greatest principle of all. If we are consistently faithful, our rec- ord will beyele: hearts pure and all other virtues will be added unto us. > > Justice. If justice prevailed in the world there would be no ‘neces- and impérfect justice administered in the courts of law, but that jus- tice which circumstance should ad- minister to all classes of man. In tate where perfect justice pre- vails, there would be no such con- dition as one person possessing all the luxuries and benefits of life in excess of one’s needs, and an- other in abject want: There would be no condition of cruel toil for one and luxurious idleness for an-| jother. In a state of justice the! necessity and pleasures would be equally administered ac- coring to the capacity to enjoy and the rewards of service. Let us therefore adhere consistently and persistently to these principles in ason and out of season, and we i render honorable tribute to these, our departed brothers, that | will be a greater honor to them than any words that orators may | speak or any song that poets may sing.
