Of religion. He was deacon Of the

years of his life in patient submission. al

The following poem was written by reques
Of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Utah. 80 j
read as part of the memorial services for tn
late Grand Master, to take place at Salt LAX
City, Jan Is.
When the spent life its soul sends out
To seek the land of endless day,
In what poor phrase we question doubt,
Or cheer the voyager on its way!
But when a brothers hand grows cold,
And he sinks down by, death o'ercome,
We lay our heart on his of mold,
And feel, indeed, our lips are dumb.
The gift of words ire little worth
To praise the tenant of bier;
And so we give this dust to earth,
Made sacred by loves holy tear.
Nor sculptured urn, nor marble bust,
Needs tell of great achievements done;
Fame, silent Ger his hallowd dust,
Points to the fields his manhood won.
Like some tall oak that long withstood
The tooth of time, the midnight blast;
When Gods sweet peace was on the wood
Slow sank, and silent fell at last;
So he, though great, and good, and strong.
And ever quick at duty's call,
Left the great worlds endearing throng,
Resign'dly as the shadows fall.
No more by Joppa's tumbling seas
He harks to hear the dripping oar;
He knows the temples mysteries,
The sunken clefts along the shore.
He views at last Moriahs height
That nearer looms as years wax on,
Till his dark home will bloom with light,
And burst with songs from Lebanon.
At last, within the tylered hall,
He stands against the darkened west;
He hears the Masters gavel fall,
And goes into eternal rest.
Sleep brother sleep; thou art not dead,
Though thine be now the common lot;
If men forget thy narrow bed,
Hopes green acacia guards the spot.

mission of ten minutes was taken. After
another hymn and prayer by Rev. Mr.
Smith, Elder Gray, of the West Surry
Free Baptist church, gave pointed,
! practical discourse. Mr.. Gray is no
stranger here, as he has occasionally
preached here during the past twenty

Bro. Wharf, few moments of silent
prayer, singing, and the old year was
a thing of the past as the new year
had been ushered in while the con-

The services were very interesting. All
