ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE GRAND MASTER.
NJ W. GRAND LODGE OF A. F. M. OF 8. c.
OFFICE or THE NJ. w. GRAND MASTER,
GRAND EAST, CHARLESTON,
July 3, A. L., 5S72.
1t is my painful duty to announce to the
craft OF this State, that on the ID Instant Most
Worshipful Charles n. Furman, Past Grand
Master OF the Grand Lodge of South Carolina,
one of the most fervent worshlppers at our
altars, passed beyond these wallis into higher
Temple ''not made with hands," life OF
such extended usefulness and purity, 80 rich
in all that makes q full and noble manhood,
asks no enlogy. Nor could we bestow 1T
ting one while we bend under the first shock
of bereavement. While our hearts are
stricken with sorrow, we can only remember
how we shall miss the venerable form, The
warm hand-clasp, The wise counsel, The tenn
perate Judgment, and
"That hest portion OF good mans life.
His little nameess, unremembered acts
or kindness aud OF love-"
When time shall scar over our now bleeding
wounds, fitting hands will gather up the
threads of this broken life and weave them
into o web of harmony and beauty.
But that we may give some expression to
our sorrow, recommend to the craft through
out the entire State thai our Jewels and the
horns of our affairs be draped In mourning for
the space of sixty days, and as We bewail our
fallen chief, may we emulate the virtues we
are so proud to remember.
81 BRUINS, Grand Master.
