Resolutions OF Rsspect.

At recent meeting of Central Lodge,
K. of H., the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, Our lodge room has been
again invaded by death, and we are
called upon to mourn the loss of a
brother, beloved by all who knew him
II is therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
Jos. Ernst we are brought face to face
with the stern reality that death is no
respecter of persons, and while we can
not understand why a brother, whose
every day life was such as to awaken
the affection and esteem of all who were
so fortunate as to come into business or
social relations with him, should be re-
moved from life so full of usefulness,
we bow in submission to Gods will,
remembering that such men as Jos.
Ernst never die, and that he will live in
the memories of all who knew him,
and will continue to bless and enrich
our lives with the memories of what his
life was.
Resolved, That the lodge room be
drAped In mourning for thirty days,
and that these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the lodge and a
copy forwarded to the wife of our de.
ceased brother, with the heartfelt sympa-
thies of the members of Central Lodge,
No. 7S1. II. E. Fox,
