and resolutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, it has pleased Him who rulett
in Heaven, and doeth His good pleasure
among the children of men, Him who seetl
not as man seetb, end whose dispensations
are inscrutable, to remove from its taberna
Gle of clay, the spirit of our worthy and be-
loved brother, D. b. THOMAS, to another, and
as we devoutly hope better, higher and
holier state of existence, on the 30th day OF
January, A. l.. 1857, while he was in the
midst Of usefulness,
AND WHEREAS, it is hard at all times to
sever forever the earthly ties of affection
that bind us to family and friands, and
launch our souls into boundless eternity
yet how much more grievous the dispense
ton, when we know that behind us are left
our dear and beloved little children, who
are never again to know tender influences
of parental love, and whose sorrows never
more to be soothed with a motheas kiss,
nor fathers watching care,
AND WHEREAS, we have now nothing left
of him but the memory of his good example
and his many virtues, Therefore,
Resolued, 1st That in the death Of brother
THOMAS, this Lodge has lost q worthy men,
Der, and the community a useful and en-
terprising citizen.
RESOLVED, I'd, That while we mourn his
loss from among us, at an age just bordering
upon the prime of life; that though the
stately column has been broken before the
temple was all completed; yet we have an
abiding confidence that He in whom he was
taught to trust when he first passed the
threshold of Freemasonry, even He, the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, has by his
strength, rhised his immortal spirit to II e
Celestial Lodge above, where the Supreme
Architect of the Universe now presides.
