Brawley Lodge Day 58

Reaching the men in Brawley was a more difficult proposition for me. I had however noted that most were already members of the Rotary, Elks, Kiwanis or another lodge in town, so I decided to join up too. When the Elk Lodge learned that I worked for the church, they immediately elected me their "Honorary Chaplain!" I felt this was a very eminent position until my duties became clear.

Apart from saying an occasional prayer, my main task was calling out the winning numbers in the lodge raffles! I was the honest one apparently! At eleven o'clock, no matter what was happening, everything stopped for a minute silence. Not a whisper, not a sound was heard. Bowed heads slowly raised to recite together. "The faults of our departed brothers, we write upon the sands . . . their goodness upon the memory of our hearts." This was a touching tribute to departed friends.

"Well, Cap, your prayers were answered after all!"
