Resolutions of coincidence on the death

66O, Royal Arcanum, at its last meeting.
Admiral Schley was formerly a member
and past regent of the council, and the
resolutions extended sympathy to the
family in their great loss. Following is
a poem by one of the members of Far
ragut Council on Admiral Schley:
IN MEMORIAM
Winfield Scott schey! Let the beloved name
Be formed in letters Of the brightest gold
And placed upon the highest spires Of fame,
That future ages may their light behold;
And that rare light shall giorify the world
And send its radiance to the darkest ways.
That Joys glad banners may b. there unfUrled
And truth and night live in the cheering rays.
That bravery his he did not know;
Where duty called, and when. he gladly went:
Though quick TO strike. humane TO conquered foe,
To help and brighten all his life bent.
Full we'll he knew and loved his fellow men.
And. Therefore him they ever loved and knew;
When clouds were darkest, he the pilot then
To lead the way to skies Of brightest blue
