for speech, when called upon to express
sympathy and sorrow, the heart is taken
from him and my words will seem be-
travail OF this weighty trust.
During the past year the Master has
called from our midst three OF our be-.
loved brothers: w. ii. Magruder, George
Wright and Cyrus Lair.
I'm our lodge room there are three
vacant places. On our memorial tablet
is written the names of those who have
gone 10 join that innumerable throng
beyond the dark river o. death.
No more shall We hear their
laughter, their songs, their familiar
greetings. No moro shall we enjoy
their ompanionship. The loved ones
at home shall know them no more
Friends and neighbors shall soc them
only in memory. They have passed
into the darkness of tho great future.
This beautiful custom, of devoting q
day to the memory of our dead. may not
add to their virtues, yet it will soften
the hearts OF those who remain behind,
and fill their minds with thoughts of the
great hereafter.
from us; to know the why and wherefore
is beyond the conception of earthly wis.
dom. So with mistaken faith in the
goodness of Hin who doeth all things
well we humbly bow to the Divine will"
Mr. Coon drew beautiful picture of
the passing Of childhood. 1.-The glory
OF the springtime, the golden days Of
summer are all passed. We have ar
rived at old age. The thirst for glory,
the hopes of greatness and the visions
of youth are surrounded by stern reali-
ties, and we glance back in our paths
and wonder why we have been spared
the suffering, the pain and the rem orse
of blasted hopes. This is the pilgrim
ago of all. To the dead there is no
misery, no aspiring ambition, no blasted
hopes. We know that they arc at
peace.
us 1T not some satisfaction to know
that our friends are beyond the sorrows
OF this wor. d? Can we not think with
JOY of the fact that the pilgrimage is
over; that they have passed through all
the cares and trials of lifo to tho beau
tiful city not built with hands? Does
not cur faith lead us to hope that we
SHALL join thtm? Then why should we
mourn? Does not r. ason tell us NO
shall meet them? Surely it shall be so,
for God does not mock with promises or
implant divine longings in the soul for
which His future has no fulfillment.
Horc is the shadow; yonder is the sub
s'ance."
In closing Mr. Coon recited the beau.
tiful poem, Speak Of the Dead" in a
touching manner. After moro music
the lodge was closed in ritual form and
with the benediction by Rev. j. Cleve-
land Hall.
