resolutions were adopted on the death of
Brother John IL. Diamond, who died at his
home in Churchville April I'd. aged %
years, II months and 81 days.
1t having pleased Almighty God to take
from our number our beloved brother and
friend, John Ii. Diamond, be 1t resolved: =
1st-That we do most humbly bow to this
sad and mysterious dispensation of an all
wise Providence, believing Thou art mer-
ciful God, and dost not willingly afflicl the
children OF men, and humblY say Thy Will,
0 God. be done.
2d-That in the death OF brother Diamond
the community has lost one of its most
promising young men, and this Order
faithful and esteemed friend
Brother Diamond was possessed of
strong and vigorous mind, his brilliant in
tellect, his kindness of disposition, his high
sense of honor, above all his Christian
character. pointed to brilliant future. But
when sickness came upon him, and he sought
his chamber to lie down and die. he reaiiz.
ed that his bright dream of the future was
gone, yet no word of repning or of queru-
lous complaint escaped his lips.
With Christian resignation he bowed his
head, and quietly wrapping the drapery OF
an honored and happy manhood and
died. Kind, generous, gifted, as he was, he
has Obeyed the summons. He has gone.
Parents have lost loving, dutiful son; the
community one from whom they looked for
much in the future. had his life been spar
ed; this Lodge brother a friend; Heaven
has gained bright immortal soul. To live
in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.
3d-That we extend to the family of our
deceased brother our kindest sympathy in
this, the hour of their great sorrow. Fond
father and mother and loving brothers, we
commend you to your kind Heavenly
Father, the God who gave, and who has
taken away. And we believe. when gentle
recollection shall have taken the place of
the grief which now seems too great to be
borne, and you are enabled to look with
calmness upon the grave of your loved one,
and mediate upon all that he was in the
days of his loneliness, you would not blot
those recOllections from your mind, though
to remember be but to lament, and every
recollection costs your heart pang.
4th-That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of our deceased brother,
also to the Staunton observation-disclosures
TOR for publication, and the same be spread
upon our record.
