REMARKABLE Masonic INcIDExT.-The first
Masonic funeral that ever took place in Cal.
lorna occurred IN the year 1919, and was
performed over the body uf "a brother found
drowned IN the bay of San Francisco. An
account OF the ceremonies states that on the
body of the deceased was found a silver mark
OF Mason. upon which We're engraved the
initials of his name. A little further inves-

0 Lord of Hosts. Almighty King,
Behold the sacrifice We bring.
To every one Thy strength impart,
Thy spirit shed through every heart
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires;
Thy power has made our nation free
To die for her is serving Thee.
Be Thou pillared fame TO show
The midnight fame. the silent foe;
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide US in its moving cloud.
God of all nations, Sovereign Lord,
In Thy drea1 name We draw the sword;
We lift the starry flag on high.
That fills with light our stormy sky.

No more its flaming emblems wave
To bar from hope the trembling slave;
No more its radiant glories shine
To blast with woe one child of Thine.
From treason's rent. fr IN murders stain,
Guide Thou its folds till peace shall reign;
Til fort and field. till shore and sea.
Join our loud anthem-praise to Thee.
