Resolutions OF Respect.

Death has invaded our Brotherhood
and taken from among us one Of our
most active. esteemed and worthy mem
bers. He was in every sense Of the
term true man, a beloved and honored
member Of our Order aud an esteemed
citizen Of San Fernando.
Brother A. b. Mofiltt, deceased, has
been power in San Fernando Lodge.
His ambition was to excel IN doing good
for the Order generally. and especially
the Lodge to which he belonged.
His constant study was to build up
aud promote fraternity and social inter
course between man and man and the
brother hood of our Order.
Brother A. b. Moefitt was an unas-
suming man. yet firm 'and outspoken,
never afraid to make known his honest
convictions.
In social life Brother Mofiitt was a
whole-souled. genial. jovial man. hospii-
oDio W his hCtkuoois ahu He enussS""iss"
BILE to all, however humble or lowly their
positions in life might be. And in his
domestic sphere he was true and de-
voted husband and indulgent father.
Resolved, That the above are the true
sen .i,nents OF this Lodge, and that while
we bow in humble obedience to Divine
VIII in thus depriving US Of our Brother
in the prime Of life aud the full vigor Of
manhood, we can but mourn his untime-
ly loss.
We heartily tender to the widow and
children Of our deceased Brother our sin
cere coincidence. and bid them be Of
good cheer. for their loss is Heavens
| gain.
Resoired. That copy hereof be prop
erly attestsd by the NJ. W. aud Record
er and forwarded to the widow OF our
dscs ased Brother, spread upon the min.
ntes Of this Lodge, and also be published
in the Wafchman and Los Angeles DAILY

mystery. Not least In the mystery is
the uncertainty which ever attends iis
coming.
To-day, with tender hands we carry
his body to its last resting place. A day
or two, and you may be performing q
like last kindly act fex me. II is only
with each Of us question OF . little
while. But the Lesson Of II all Ia that
we SO live that death, whether 1t come
this night or in the years. shall not take
us unprepared or unawares. The lesson
Of II all Is that we should 30 order our
lives that when to us the summons shall
come we shall be able to say, even as 1t
was said by one of old. "Yea. though
walk through the valley Of the shadow
Of death will fear no evil. for Thou art

The band Of Jubilee aud Plantation

known a. the Lew johnson Plantation
Singers, will appear on Tuesday next,
June l7th. at the Opera House. This
well known and talented troupe is thus
mentioned by the Eureka Sentinel
The Eureka Opera House last night
was crowded to its utmost capacity by
our people, who assembled for the pur-
pose Of hearing Lew Johnsons Original
Jubilee Singers. II has been long
time since such large audience met in
our Opera House, and at no time did our
people more enjoy performance Of any
kind. From the moment that the cur
tain was raised until the company sang
in sweet strains, Farewell" tho large
audience present was kept in . continual
roar OF laughter. or was in ecstacies over
the soft, sweet strains Of the singers in
their rendition Of the old plantation
songs.

Ditnu plunge INTO tn0 unknown.
When Socrates, representing the keen
est intellect Of that old Greek culture,
drew near to his end, this was all he
could say ~ he spoke TO his judges:
1.-THE time Of departure is at hand, and
we 20 our ways-I to die and you to
live. Which is the better, God only
knows.
Bat to Us has come better hope. We
kHoo whereof we believe. We know
that beyond the grave is another life, for
which this 10 but the preparation, and to
which death 10 but the opening Of the
portals; and by the eye Of faith we look
past the dark cloud Of death to that life
which lieth beyond.
We cannot All see alike. To some Is
the clear vision of q perfect faith. To
others, only the painful gazing Of eyes
that discern dimly in the dark. Yet we
have faith that to him who seeks with
earnest quest comes some measure Of
light; may be in this life, may be in the
clearer vision of the hour Of death.
Last Sunday / sat by the side Of him
who now sleeps before us, and talked
with him Of that other life. had spoken
with him before on the same subject,
but this time he felt the near approach
Of death and talked with me more
freely.
When asked him how 1t was be-
tween him and his God, looking into my
eyes with the earnest gaze OF . dying
man, this, - nearly As | can tell It, was
what he said;
II have learned many things, said he,
''lying here during all these weeks OF
illness. II I could live the years over
AgA,n my life would be very different.
But this past 10 beyond recall. Yet
an trying to make my peacs with God.
cannot say that / see the light. but
an trying 10 trust Him."
kneit down by him, and with his
hand In mine. prayed God that IL not in
this life, at least Ia that life to come,
light might be given, aud with him II
might be peace. May be. In that hour
Of death light came, and il was peace,
We have reason 10 think 90. This
know, that he went down TO death try.
ing to trust God; and l know that God
hes said: Hin that oousth unto me

/ have said that death Is the one great
