Again we have heard the voice of
our Supreme Grand Master. Again
We have seen the relentless messenger
death in our midst, summoning from
our imperfect lodge on earth, to that
glorious celestial lodge on high, the
soul Of our beloved brother, H. Lums-
den. We mourn as those who cannot
be comforted. We have lost faithful
friend, blameless brother, an amia-
BILE associate, courteous companion,
a man OF irreprOachable integrity and
knightly honor, Mason in whom
there was no guile,
He was an ilustrious exemplar of
the memorable precept, "In thine own
self be true" and it must follow, as the
night the day, "Thou canst not be
false to any man."
Never forgetful of the conduct and
department becoming the dignity OF
his lofty character, he was yet ever So
fictitious and respectful of the rights
and feelings OF others.
Never did selfishness favor, or pleju-
dice influence him to be guilty of a
dishonorable action, never violated
his vows or betrayed his trust, and we
believe there lives not a man who can
say that III. Lumsden ever wronged
him.
Sympathetic, liberal and generous
even TO a fault, he beautifully illustra-
ted in his life the transcendent blessed
ness OF heaven-born charity, and his
hatred to hypocrisy and shams was
only surpassed by his true philan-
thropy.
Hisheart was ever ready to COM
miserate distress and he had "A,hand
open as day for melting charity"
Like Abon Ben Adhem-may his
tribe increase-his name will be writ
ten in the book of Life with those who
loved the Lord, because he loved his
fellow men.
OF his domestic virtues our words
are too feeble to speak. Even the lips
OF his family can never do them JUS
tice. The truth will remain an untold
secret in the stricken hearts of his sor-
rowing orphan children. They and
We, and the community painfully feel
the irreparable loss.
