"I appear, by Invitation of your commit- tee, as a representative Of the Drama, an Institution older than ChrlHtlanlty, born from the union of miwlc and poctrv. In the vales of ancient (ireeie, twenty-live"hundred years iigo. fuatered hy the IntellpciunI ge- nins Of the Intervening centuries. ndopte<1 wherever I'lvlllzatiun rtourlshes, and now rccogulxed an one of the mtixl potent fac- tore in education, enlightenment and pro- gi'ew^ . 1 represent a profciwlon that. In HpltB of years of Injustice, Ignomnce an<I prejudice, has siirvlveil by the comiielllnc fowe of Its own dignity Its narrow minded detractors, and In the evolution of modern thought HtanUa foremost In the category of the liberal aris. A knowledge of the Drama arouses the Imagination, broadens the Intellectual views of life, iiud enlarges the scope of human sympathy. The elleot of the Drama U to elevate. Instruct nnd reflne; and the art of the Actor by means of the Drama, " 'To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to Nature Show Vice her own Image, scorn her own feature And the very age and body of the time Its form and pressure." "It Is to the Drama nnd the Actors of the Drama that the Benevolent and Protective Order of Klks owes Its existence, and If the many fnult.s and fruUtles with which we are chargeil were tnie, that fact should be an extenuating plea In their favor. A smnii coterie of actors recognizing that the Itiner- ant cbiirncter ot their profession necessi- tated some bond or nnlnn for their mutual firoteetion and entertainment, as well as rare n times of sickness and distress, formed a small society that met weekly, usually on Sunday evenings, when wit nnd wisdom, soug nnd story, sen-ed to Illume the leisure hours, while anecdote nnd experiences of mutual Interest bound them in ties of commou sym- pathy. These weekly meetings became so attractive and their numbers Inirensod so rapidly that tinnlly a uermaneut organiza- tion was eatabllshed, wfth the piincinles of friendship, charity. Justice unit fidelity as Its foundation, a complete ritual was com- po8e<I, solemn ceremonies of Initiation In- troduced, add a new secret fraternal so- ciety came into existence under the name of the Benevolent and Protective Oi'der of ICIks. But little dreamed the band of pioueers (many of whom, alas, bavo passe^l away) of the gigantic proportions to which the order would grow. 'I'hey. Indeed, hullded better than they knew. 'They founded. If not a new religion, a concretion of the virtues of all the old ones, and we, their followers and disciples, worship today not in cathedral nlalPH of filllared stone nitcbed with sculp- tured saints, nor before high altars decked with golden chalice. Jeweled host nnd twink- ling candles. Our simple altar Is draped only with the emblem of our national lib- erty, surmounted by the holy scriptures and our symbolic antlers. Dnclrcumscrlbed by creed or llmlte<l by orthodoxy we ask only fealty to the Hag, und faith In the existence of a Supreme Being. It Is, Indeed, a rellglou of love, a gospel of humanity. As the monarch of the forest springs from th« germ of the small ecoru, so from the seeds sown hy that faithful fe* has |!rown that mighty order that today spreads branches from the parent stew to the uttermost confines of this great nation— aye and beyond, for the Klks have followed the flag, and tloiirlSh with honor and esteem In the territory of Hawaii and the far oflt PblllppluPA, From those distant Islands lu the broad raclllc. from every town nnd city where an Klks lodge Is In existence, from the most remote parts ot the earth, wher- ever on lOlk may be found there comes to you today, upou the wireless telegraphy of love, messnges of fraternal sympathy In your objects, and congintulatlons on the fruition of your hopes nnd endeavors. Since my In- itiation Into the order, some twenty-three years ago, I have been proud ot the fact that I am an ICIk, but today I have a double cause for pride—first. In this crowning achievement we cele)>rate, and. secondly, that I belong to this profession that brought the Order of the Klks livto existence nnd made that achievement possible. And nlfhoiigh the order has lohg since outgrown the limitations of Its founders, that made members of the thentrlcal prnfe<islon alone ellgUilc for mem- bei-.'fhlp, <lic order has ever lieon In sympa- thetic touch and fraternal union with the guild of the Drama. And It t.s prOpcr that It should lie BO, for the Drama \h In complete sympathy with the principles of the Klks. 'The l>rnma tenches charily In the broadest sense—viiu huve sworn lo practice It. 'I'he Dniraa "ndvocitoB Impartial Justice to all— It Is your corner stone. The Drama Illus- trates I he virtue of lldellt.v—.yon claim It as yonr motto. The Drama teaches the doctrine of huhi.in love, friendship—the crys- talUntion of niimnn love Is your cnrdlnal principle. The Drama teaches by example, as well as bv precept, tie noblest leg.son8 of manhood and Jntegrlty—your ritual does this same. Chivalry and defence ot virtue la an omnipresent tenet of the Drama—with you lit Is a solemn obligation. The Drama Is non-sectarian—so are you; and so, ad Infinitum, I might parallel the lessons to bo learned from the teachings of both Institutions. It Is also worthy of note that the Ilrst dramatic entertainment presented In America was given at Jamestown, In this State, and here among the hills and voles of the same history making Dominion, where honor Is tbeir guerdon, and hospitality their reltSloD, have the IClks erected their first oayiam for the aged and Indigent members of the order. I say the first advliediy, be- cause at the'present rate of progreM, and with our rapidly Increasing -.-osperlty. It Is not Improbable that nt no very distant period similar Institutions may be estab- lished In every State In the Union. And now a word as to our progress. We must and will progress—It Is Ingyltable—but In the ambltloQ for numerical strength let u* not forget the quallflcntloDM of our candidates nor fall to make them the prime consideration of 'their elec- tion. No man should be admitted .to the order that we cannot with absolute confi- dence take to our own hearthstone nnd pre- sent as a brother to our wives nhd children. Fratemallsm Is not n modern lUHtltutlon, Its origin dates as far back as If not beyond, tha building' of the Temple of Solomon at Jeru- salem : but there was never a time In the history of tlin world that afforded such an unpurtonlty for Its civilizing InOuence as llie prenent. Tlie ronicntrntlon of vast wealth as capital, and the union of the labor interests of the country Iinvo created two gigantic forces that should work togother, not only for national prosperity, but for the Indlvlduol advantage of all. But, alas, the wisdom of our statesmen has not been nhle to wmlmnlate these factors, add the real nr Imaicldnry tyranny 'of the one and the In- discretion of the other may nt any moment •rouse an antogonlam that, uolesa controlled by wise and discreet counsels, may degoner- nta intu strife. It Is here that frntemallam may step In nnd the mutual obllgntloos taken nt our nlinn miiy soothe the cunOlctlDg passions of men, und turn dl.scord and ih- contour to pence and good will. To nuolo again from Mbakesjieare: 'Ttiete In a tla« In the nffalrH of men which, taken at the nood. lends on to forttme—omitted nil the royag<i of their lives Is cast in Hhaliows anil la miseries.' With fhiife of our brothers who have risen on the flood tide of fortune we rejoice—but It Is for those who. hilReted by the winds of adversity, bruised by the rocks of misfortune nnd sirauded on the shoals nnd shallows of disaster, thnt we dedicuin thlH harbor of retugc loday. In ronclusloHn my brothers, I fwl 1 but voice th» sentiment of oii<> hundred nnd fifty thousand good men nnd true thur prmully wear the antlers when 1 otfer my fellcltntlons lo the gentlemen who conceived and carried to a siicces-iful coni'luston this gigantic protect.
