Our Absent Brothers & Sisters
PAWHUSKA Lodge #2542 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, has spread upon its minutes a record of the loss it has sustained. The clock of their day's has stopped; across its motionless shadows mark the hour of eleven. An Elk Is Called Home But They Are Never Forgotten......

" IN VAIN WE CALL"
ELEVEN O'CLOCK TOAST
************
"You have heard the tolling of eleven strokes.
This is to remind us that with Elks
the hour of eleven has a tender significance.
Wherever an Elk may roam,
Whatever his lot in life may be,
when this hour falls upon the dial of night
the great heart of Elkdom swells and throbs.
It is the golden hour of recollection,
the homecoming of those who wander,
the mystic roll call of those who will come no more.
Living or dead, an Elk is never forgotten, never forsaken.
Morning and noon may pass him by,
the light of day sink heedlessly in the West,
but ere the shadows of midnight shall fall,
the chimes of memory will be pealing forth
the friendly message --
"TO OUR ABSENT MEMBERS"
