of Him who giveth and taketh life, yet

Therefore be it resolved, That by the

has sustained great loss, for though not
an active member, our departed brother
was a true Bnai Birth who by the beauty
of his character personified the high prin
ciples of our beloved order. As maj
and citizen he commanded the admira

aud his kindness and probity of charac

To meet a tidal wave at sea is in some
