Resolutions of Zona Lodge,
F. & A. M. in Memory Of
Bro. Pearce Y. Wascom,
Deceased Aug. 81, 1913.

OAVs WI w w
Deceased Aug. q, 1913.
We regret when we are made
to realize that the old pioneers
of our country are falling one by
one-for they were the men who
during the dark days OF recon
struction, hoisted the banner OF
white supremacy and secured
Louisiana from the clutches OF
her foes.
They were the men who left
the plow, shop and sanctuary to
go. They, too, were men who
broke the clasp of loving arms OF
mothers, wives and sisters to 60
yet what the scythe does not
reap in it's continuous swing is
garnered up by the flight OF
years-so with Bro. Wascom.
Time in her ceaseless flight
waited him on in the evening
shadow of life, and when his
head was as white as the mimic
snow of the cotton fields in his
85th year, God said, "Thou hast
been faithful, come up higher to
that celestial lodge above"
This we know; the flowers OF
love from the cradle, youthful
buds of joy from the tireside,
the sunshine of home with faith
er, mother and all the gems OF
love must be blighted by the
frost of time and death. But we
bow in submission to Gods plar
and bear upon the faith that he
has planted in the human soul
If his will leaves our hearts in
sorrow at the loss of friends
companions and loved ones, wt
may be comforted with the
thought that the influence of his
life has left a beautiful impress
upon our own. He had erected
in principle and faith a monu-
ment of influence,
So let US gather up the sun
beams that he had scattered and
weave them into wreaths of gol-
den memory. He had planted
flowers along life's pathway,
which still speak Of the sweet
companionship our lodge and his
family have lost, and which
should urge Us with sweet elo.
quence to turn our thoughts t.
noble deeds and our hands to
more friendly service.
"Ths boast Of hersldry, tho pomp Of
And Oil that beauty, all that wealth
'ere gave,
Await alike tho inevitable hour;
The paths Of glory lead but to the
grave"
This is the reward that awaits
al human achievements-no bril-.
liancy of mind, no craftiness Of
hand, no beauty Of character, no
power Of wealth and no nobility
Of soul can escape this final de
cree that God has written
against the joys of life.
Resolved that q copy of these
resolutions be spread upon our
records, one sent to his family
and one to the Era-Leader for
publication.

They could not forget that these were
once homes. and, in fact. they must
have believed in kind of reSurrec-
tion. for they made the tombS look
like houses as much as possible. The
most ancient Nabatean tOmbS have
the familiar pylonS. the door set in
tower, and all crowned by parapet
ornament, just like house for the
living.
In what is termed the second period
we find the tombs with Semi-circular
arches, which resemble the tOmbs of
Northern Syria, and in the most mod
ern period we find the elaborate IA
cadeS of the Roman temples. In the
second period the shape of the tOmbs,
being Il combination of Syrian, Greek
and Egyptian, helps to fix their date
as of the time when the PtOlemies

With the discovery of the great altar
comes another notable find, which may go
far toward explaining the mysteries con
nected with the awful worship of Dhu-shara
Below this altar there seems to have been a
crypt, going far into the bowels of the noun
tain, and in it was thrown the remains of
the victims sacrificed to the god and his
cruel mate. Whether human sacrifices were
offered is not known, but the exploration of
this crypt will tell us much of the distant
past.
Most light upon that past is expected from
the opening of the tOmbs. which number
three thousand or more. If ten day are
opened it will take more than three years to

number can be averaged without host OF
wOrkmeh. for all are in the faces of the
cliffs and scaffolding will have to be erect
ed to reach most of them. When they are
forced open, by pick and dynamite, what
treasures of ancient times may be brought
to light none can well imagine or picture.
All are awaiting the results with bated
breath, for the history of the Nabateans Is
so closely interviewer with that of the He
brews of the Egyptians and the Babylon
ians that we may have a food of light upon
all the civilization of ancient times, simply
by the opening of these tombs-but it Is a
tremendous task, which will consume years
and cost fortunes, though the results will
certainly repay all efforts.
