There are fourteen fewer medical
schools in the United States than there
were a year ago, 100 fewer persons
studied medicine in 1913 than in 1912, and

The following resolutions were passed
BY the Oxford Division, No. 20, Sons OF

Hay es of Chelsea, Maine, who was fol
many years Grand Recording Scribe OF
the Grand Division, and who In her Wis.
| its TO Oxford Division in the perform
ance of that duty had made many warm
personal friends. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Hayes were faithful and earnest work
ers in the temperance cause.
Whereas, 1t has pleased the Heavenly
Father to permit the messenger OF
death with its dark shadow and attend
ing sorrow to again visit US, taking from
our fraternal home our beloved sister
Annie L. Hayes, therefore,
| Resolved, That while we mourn fol
aud cherish the memory Of the sister
who has been taken from our circle Of
unity, we can but realize that she hal
passed that dark portal through which
we must all go ere we again join hands
in fraternal greeting in the Great Lodge
above. Therefore, let Us all bow il
humble submission to the will of Hin
who dOeth all things well.
Resolved, That to tho family upor
whom this affection falls most heavily
we feel to tender our most sincere sym
patty, knowing that words are vain ant
do but little toward alternating the bur
den of sorrow now resting upon them
and We only commend them to Hin
whose rulings are ever right.
Resolved, That while We shall mis'
her kindly greeting and words Of cheer
we must remember that IL is we'll will
her for whom We mourn, and the high
est tribute we can pay to her memory i
to emulate her virtues.
Resolved, Thai the charter OF Oxfort
Division, Sons Of Temperance, be drapet
for thirty days, and a copy of these reso
lutions be forwarded to the family ant
written upon the records of this lodge.
