Our late brother was made a member
of the order in court Los Angeles, No
422 in the year 1895, and remained
member of this court until the time of
his death. He was faithful member
and energetic worker and was well liked
and respected both in the order and in
business and private life.
AS chief executive officer of his court
he was ever faithful and just in the dis
charge of his duties and regular in at
tendance. He realized that the honor Of
holding the highest office in the gift of
the brethren of his court carried with
it the obligation of performing the duties
of the office to the best of his knowledge
and ability. To preside over court Of
the magnitude and Importance of court
Los Angeles in a mann err satisfactory to
all requires tact, ability and patience;
therefore when we state that he retired
from the chair of presiding officer with
the good will and appreciation of the
entire membership of his court we pay
a fitting and merited tribute to his ster-
ling worth and qualities. We have lost
a faithful, genial brother, but we feel
that this court and the order is the bet
ter for his membership and efforts
therein.
He is gone, but not forgotten;
We miss his smiling face
We loved his genial fellowship;
We mourn his vacant place.
he was true and faithful friend,
An honest, upright man;
husband and father kind,
Forget him we never can.
brother whom we all did love-
An officer able, just and true,
His labor ended, sweet be his rest;
The forest, he has passed through.
o. Gracious Almighty Supreme Chief,
We commit him to thy care;
Take him to thy court above
TO dwell forever there.
Pity the dear ones who mourn his loss
Whose thoughts are at the tomb;
Speak peace and comfort TO their hearts,
And dispel their cloud of gloom

have started on a vigorous campaign and
have printed a neat little leaflet explain
ing the benefits of the order and a table
showing the total cost in their individual

will no doubt find the little leafiet good
help in the work. This is a step in the
right direction and shows that these
courts mean business.
