A delegation of about sixty mem-
bers ofPNor'walk Lodge, No. 709, Benev-
olent. and Protective Order of Elks, at-
tended'the special service in Trinity
Episcopal Church, last night. and lisP
toned to a sermon delivered by the rec-
tor. Rev. Frederick A. Coleman. The
discourse was an able one, devoid of
sensatioiialism, and of an evangelical
type which could not fall but leave a
deep impression on the boomers. He
advised the. Elks not to think more of
their lodge than they did of their
church. as was so often the case with
members of fraternal organization.
The work of the Master‘s cause should
never cease, and a professing Christ-
ian should ever be ready to do the
Master's bidding. Rev. Mr. Coleman‘s
text was flrom the first Psalm, verses
1-2:
“Blessed is the man that hath not
walked in the counsel of the dugodiy.
nor stood in the way of sinners. and
hath not out in the seat of the scorn.-
ful.
“But his delight is in the law of the
Lord, and in his law will be exercise
himself day and night.”
The music was of an excellent char-
acter. the hymns and other selections
being exceuptionaliy well rendered.
