While High Point Lodge No. 1155
is young aud the membership con-
parstively small. yet We are thankful
to the Great Ruler of the Universs
that his pEeadiE 6 ant,ers have SO
well protected us. and that during

! of our number to join our antlered
! brothers upon the green hills Be.
yond the river. Though We call in
! vain the pane of our departed
brother. John Armstrong. and mourn
the loss our lodge and communit,
/ has sustained; still. we bow in hum
ble submission to the will OF Hin
who doeth all things we'll. and con.
sole ourselves in the blessed assur
ance that He has promised to ieat
/ all good Elks beside the still water:
of peace.

grief in cnr ills. To the urgent rol
call of our secretary. there shall
forever be no response TO the name
John Armstrong. for he has answer
ed the roll call in the Grand Lodg'
above. No more shall we feel tha
brotherly love which his hand shak'
conveyed, but olr memories shal
forever safeguard those treasures O
feeling, more precious than gold
that generosity. that kindness, thOs
crowning virtues. Charity. Justice
