A Stranger is Never a Stranger if He is a Member of the Order

We are glad to publish the following letter which was recently received by us from Charles Seckler, a member of Brooklyn, N. Y., Lodge No. 22. We think it is typical of what many a member of the Order feels when, sick and far away from home, he is comforted by acts of brotherly kindness: "Thousands of miles away from home and none of my family near me, I was taken to the St, Anthony's Hospital, Denver, Colorado, to be operated on for appendicitis. After my operation, much to my surprise and joy, I found that Denver, Colo., Lodge No. 17 had sent to my room a beautiful bouquet of flowers. My lonesomeness at the hospital was greatly relieved by the various visits paid me by one of the members of Denver Lodge and further by the remembrances sent me at different times. This to my mind embodies the true spirit of 'Elkdom,' for what more could brothers do for another brother under such circumstances?"
