RcsoIution Of I,espects.


The following resolutions were
adopted by Temple Council. No. 81.
Legion of Red Cross, at the meeting
on the Bird of July.
Whereas. God in his infinite wis.,
dom has seen tit to remove from our
midst our faithful friend and worthy
companion John Stattner, who has
passed from the wonderful mystery
Of life to the still greater mystery OF
death. The silver cord that so recent
iy moored US to time, has been length
ened by this dispensation of Divine
Providence, and thus formed con-
nectlon with the boundless realms OF
eternity, and another life has passed
away to that still strange land. His
useful life is over and we trust his
reward cometh. He has left to us the
memory OF good name, which
ewakens in our hearts the tsnderest
feelings. Therefore
Resolved, That while we bow In
humble submission to the will of Him
who doeth all things we'll, yet we can
but deplore the termination of q ca
reer and the loss to us of worthy
and upright companion; TO the peo-
pie among whom his manhood years
have been rassed an industrio ms and
honorable citizen; and to his family
tnn lrfepufaulb loss OF an lnuulBenl
father. n tender md loving husband.
They and we mournfully realize that
Nothing is onr own. We hold our
pleasures
just little while ere they are fled.
One by one death robs us of our treasures
Nothing is our own except ourdead.
u Resolved, That tho recorder spread
these resolutions upon the journal oil
the council. transmit q copy to the
family OF companion John StIattner
and also TO the newspapers OF the city
