That Central Africa was once the

material collected by Frobenius is not
older than the sixth century of our
era; but the objects were found in
the ruins of palaces from fifteen to
twenty-five feet below the surface;
and these palaces had been built upon
the ruins of still older and more mag
nificent palaces. The latter were of
solid, well-built masonry with court
yards and gardens surmounted by

to draft resolutions of respect upor
the death of brother F.. E. Meek, bes
leave to make the following report.
Again our club has been visited by
the ruthless hand of death, and ou1
beloved Brother F. E. Meek, has been
removed to that unfathonable be-
yond, to that bourne from which nc
traveller returns. *
No more will we grasp his hand
in this life, or listen to his words of
comfort and of cheer, which so often
have brought a glow to the cheek, a
sparkle to the eye and hope to the
heart of those in gloom. Yet, we win
remember him for the gentleness of
his heart, his kindly and encouraging
words, with the tenderest sympathy
while life shall last, as one who made
the world brighter and better for
having lived in it. May we all emulate
his good qualities, remember his many
virtues and forget what we may have
considered his faults, remember that
none are perfect, no not one.
Our brother has gone to rest, the
darkness OF death has come to the
home of this, our friend, and while
wem ourn for him, let US if possible
point out to his bereaved family the
stars that shine beyond in the hope of
a better life beyond the grave.
Therefore. be it resolved, that we

that a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes and that
