jealous member of our commandery,
desire to give expression to our feel
:ngs on this occasion. The truth of
the words, In the midst of life we are in
death comes to us at this time with great
force While the greatest display in the an
mails of modern Knights Templarism was at
It's height and glory on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Sir knight David Hume, in our faraway
home, Omaha, was obeying the fatal man
date of the angel of DEATH which we must
all of us sooner or later obey. TO his broth
ers and relatives we would extend our heart
felt sympathy and would say to them that
we who have known our deceased sir
knight for many years can testify
to the justness. manliness, kindli-
ness and charity of his character
loss. We, with you, mourn the loss of a be-
loved brother. Realizing our inability in the
presence of death to comfort with mere
words we would simply take you to the ban
ner of our commandery, point you to tho
cross of Calvary and there leave you in the
hands of the Great Captain of our salvation
Sir knights, for ourselves individually let us
heed the striking reminder that we know
not how soon the angel OF death may receive
the fatal mandate to strike us from the roll
of human existence. May we then
so gratefully improve the remaining
span of life that when our hour of death
arrives our dsembodled spirits may soar
aloft in the realms of light and life eternal
presses tho feelings of the Sir knights in
attendance on the triennal conclavea at Wash
ington; that copies OF the above be sent to
the brothers of deceased, that copy be
posted in the Nebraska headquarters at
Washington and that copy be sent to the
recorder OF Mount Calvary commandery, and
that in addition the standard of our com.
mandery be properly draped and that the Sir
knights in attendance at Washington wear
the proper emblem of mOurning.
