In memory of James Walker late O
Star of Bethlehem Lodge, No. l26.
The Angel of Death a visit paid :.
Unto our noble band, e
And took from us our Brother,
Who In our faith did stand.
Without moments warning, j
From earth was called away,
To Paradise there to await
The coming Judgment day.
An upright member of our Lodge,
A good attendant there,
No more his presence we can see,
His Is the vacant chair,
But ever dear his memory
Will we forever keep.
And mourn for our rother,
Whom the grave now sleeps,
Attentive to his duties
10 his employers true,
= Our brother full of vigor
His duty tried tqdo, s.
1t was attending to the same
He met the awful blow,
Which sent him to eternity,
His stewardship to show.
To Star of Bethlehem members
Has come warning great,
Let each prepare to meet the call
Lest similar be his fate.
Without moments warning
We may be called away.
Then let us all be ready
10 meet tho Judgment Day.
While mounting for our Brother
Let each one keep in view
The tids of time is rolling on,
Our day is coming too.
Wen meet our Brother by and by
On that celestial shore,
Where one and all united are
And parting is no more
His body in Mt. Salem lies,
To moulder in the clay,
His soul Is gone to Paradise
To awttt>the Judgment day,
No more he'll roam to daily toll
He's free from earthly strife
Be his the Crown of Victory,
Throughout eternal life.
We mourn for the Widow
And children in distress,
And pray the Lord may comfort them,
And their affections bless,
He gives us life and takes the same,
In his mysterious way,
He knows what's best for each of us,
And ho will lead the way.
