AT 2 80 p. m. the district lodge attended
the funeral in body at the Congregational
church. The entire community was aroused
by the loss of so promising member of So
ciety as the deceased, and the church was
crowded. The quartette choir, with Prof.
Hunt at the organ, sang in u very tender
manner those ever touching lines, dearest
sister, thou hast left US here, thy loss we
deeply feel,' during which many eyes in the
house were bathed in tears. Rev. Mr.. Cory,
the pastor, after reading an appropriate pas
sage of Scripture, gave brief statement OF
her history. She was born, he said, October
IS, 1864, consecrsted In baptism
September 8, 1865. Her whole life had been
full of the fragrance of Christian graces.
She loved the house of God and was constant
in the attendance on the means of grace.
The last place she had visited before her ia
tai illness had been the house Of worship.
Her heart song seemed to be 81 love thy
Kingdom Lord, the House of Thine Abode -
She was special favorite among the young
people. The deceased was daug liter of one
of the most influential and worthy citizens.
She died of typhoid fever, having been sick
but ten days. She was a member of the
| Congregational church and of the Excelsior
Lodge l. o. G. T.
At the O'Clock session favorable reports
! were received from several lodges.
Mr.. Durham rendered a verbal report Of
| his connection with the district lodge cover
| ing five years last past. During that time
the institution had grown from small be
ginning to its present very respectable pro
| portions.
BY vote of the district lodge Forest Lake
| lodge was admitted though they really should
have joined another district of the state.
| This being so much more accessible, no OBJ
! lection was raised to the violation Of gen
eral rule.

then adopted:
