C. Olirtim of Cairo Baptist church,

The prominent features of the oc

uprn the two members of the order
who had passed away during the
present year, both of which were
given by members who had been in
timate associates of the dead during
Hif.ny year of their lives, and wno
loved them as brothers. Mr. Chas.
O. Patier. who succeeded the subject
of his address as president of the
New York Store Mercantile Co.,
spoke as followe of
Chas. E. Hessian.
Brother Elks: It was a holy an I
wholesome thot glit that prompt" I
the originators and pici'ioters f 'he
Society of the Benev.i1 nt ProteUive
Order of Elks to incorporate inti
their by-laws and regulations an a -
tick which sets apart one day in
each year to eulogize the life and
character of those members who dur-
ii.g the passing tear have gone on
before to that home whence iio
traveler returns: to bold up as' a
shining example the many lovable
traits of heart and rniml of the dec-eased

lation of thc.be wUo follow in their
foots-tepH. It is with a sense of con-'
serration and a feeling of deep pr
tioi.nl grief that we come here today
to pav a tribute of respect to the
memory of Charlts E. Hessian, a
man whom I have known all my life;
a man with whom 1 nave spent so
many long years in close and Inti
iniite business relationships. He
who w:' one of nature's noblemen.
