CAPTAIN PHIL. MASON.

This splendid man and citizen died
very suddenly at his old home-the old
Mason home-near North last Friday.
His death was due to neuralgia of the
heart. Only three weeks before his
death he had returned from Seattle
and Alaska where, for several years,
he had been master of a ship. Recent
| ~ II had been his custom to stend his
winters at the old home among his
brothers and sisters and their childfen
who loved him SO, and whom he loved
so tenderly. He was a little over six
tv-three years Of age and had been,
since his sixteenth year a sea-farinp
man, much of that time being spent 10
Pacific waters. He was a man of large
mould, physically, mentally and NOR
ally. His very presence commanded
respect. His life was a clean, sober
! and serious one. From early manhood
he had learned to live for others. His
lonG-dead father and brothers and sis
tiers and nephews and neices, who sur
vive him, can testify to the truthful
ness of this statement. He thought
least of his own personal comfort and
welfare. His feaTt was too tender and
his soul toolarge for this. He was
generous TO a fault 1t was this iollv,
generous nature of his that made him
so likeable' and so lovable. It was
this that made him keep in such close
touch with young life. 1t was this that
made him laugh at pleasant joke or
weep so easily at the telling of a ten
der story. He had the heart of a wo-
man in the body Of a robust man. He
had most keen and kindly INTEREST," in
the old Holly Grove church which his
old father had helped so largely to es-
tablish and maintain. He loved relig-
ion and religious things and people.
He told the present writer much of the
religious life and leaders of that great
North Western Empire where he had
his headquarters, His mind did not
lie fallow or rust in his later and old
er years. He was a close observer of
men and movements and keenIy alive
to the mighty questions stirring man
kind. He was busy to the last. He was
planning and working for the comfort
and happiness of the loved ones who
occupied the olT home He had the
sacrificial life of our Lord-doing and
giving for others.
1t was the writer's sad privilege to
speak some words of comfort and hone
at the Holly Grove church last SUNDAY
morning, to a very large concourse Of
| relatives and friends and neighbors
who showed by their tears and their
presence, the esteem and love in which
he was held. To me, his death is a
personal loss for / had come to love
him as brother. We laid him awav
in the beautiful cemetery in the church
yard at Trinity to await the Arch.an-
gers trump when all the blessed dead
shall come. forth in the resurrection
body.
Born, living, dying, leaving the
still shore for the troubled wave,
Battling with storm clouds over ship
wreckslfiying,
And casting anchor in the silent
grave"
No. no, my, friend Of yesterday, this
shall not be thy doom, That noble
soul filled with such God-like impul
ses and thoughts, shall live and think
and throb and love, 5ey the sweep
Of years aud the knell of time. Fare
we'll until some brighter morning.
