|. o. O. F. MEMORIAL DAY.

The Memorial Day proclamation Of
ordinate lodoes that have suffered loss
of membership by death to assemble on
the second Tuesday Of June or on diff
ferent day if it be more convenient. and
engage in appropriate services respect
ing their dead members. In the list of
former members of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge who have died within the past
year are many who were conspicuous in
the legislative hall of our order. White
and Dilks. of New York, and Mutt and
Newell, of New Jersey, who were well
and favorably known in this jurisdic-
ton. are among the number. The records
of these brethren are written upon the
pages of our journals and indellibly
stamped upon the memories of their
survivors. Others not so favored or
advanced were in their positions equal
" faithful and bore cheerfully the du
ties devolving upon them, each being OF
assistance and of value to the order. In
our own jurisdiction many have fallen
and gone to that bourne from whence no
traveller returns. They were faithful in
life, and true to their memories will we
be now. Toward the living we should
redouble our VOWS of brotherly devotion
and assistance; we should speak words
of cheer and encouragement to those
whose hearts are swollen with grief,
aiding them to bear the burdens of life
for short time longer. when they will
be united with the departed loved ones.
True Odd Fellows will let their hearts
expand with emotions of sympathy. love,
and charity for all in affection, remem-
bering that
There is no flock, however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no nreSidc, hOW@o'er defended,
But has one vacant chair.

While historians are delving into the
dim past searching out the origin of fra

the future.
