1t becomes our sad duty to re-
port to eur Lodge that on June
10th. 1912, the death angel visit
ed our midst and gave the mar
date that we sh Ike from our roll
the name our beloved brother b.
Z. Clements; and his deathles
spirit winged its fight 10 the
Great Beyond. A good man. an
upright citizen, an earnest Odd
Fellow. an affectionate husband
and kind loving father has gone
to rest.
We do not know why he was
stricken down in the prime of life.
while his shadow still fell to the
westward; but we know that be
who ruleth all things is too wise
to err and too good to be unkiud.
The reasons for these thugs
are not for US to know now, but
the time will come when we shall
understand all.
We miss his genial presence,
his cheerful voice. the warm grasp
ct the hand; ne sleeps that sleep
that knows no human awakening,
but he shall live again.
Brother Clements united him
self with Mathews Lodge o T.
Sept. 5th. 1903. From that time
until the time of his death he
held a warm place in the hearts
of the members Of Mathews Lod-
&c No. 80. l. o. o. F, There
fore be it
RESOLVED I:-that we extend
to the bereayed family cur heart
felt sympathy and recommend
them TO him who dceth all things
we'll.
RESOLVED II.-,hat his breth-
eren DO seriously mediate upon
the uncertainty Of lite and let us
remember that all that are born
must die. In the fall, the flowers
fade and fall, but when spring
comes they bud forth again. and
in place of death there IS life,
beauty and Joy,
REsoLvED:-that these resoIu-
tons be placed OH our minutes

mands for higher wages and better

sert the wage demands OF the elevated
men will have to be settled at the same
