We, your committee, appointed to draft resolu-
tions to properly extend our sorrow on the death
of our beloved brother, Riahard Nelson, beg leave
to submit the following, to wit:
Whereas, the Supreme Architect of the Uni
verse in accordance with his infinite wisdom has
called from laborsshere on earth to eternal refresh
ment in the Paradise of God our brother Richard
Nelson:
Therefore be it resolved that in the death of
our brother, Richard Nelson, Wnslow Lodge, No.
IL, has lost true and upright man and Mason,
one to whom the Principles of Masonry was con-
slant guide and monitor and that, while we bow
in submission to the dictates of the Supreme
Architect of the Universe, shall always cherish
his memory as worthy of emulation and his clean
upright life and actions as our inspiration
And it is further resolved that Winslow Lodge
No. b. F. and A. M, extend to his bereaved fami-
ly our sincere sympathy in the fact that by his
death they have lost loving husband and noble
father at the same time reminding them that this
sorrow should be tempered with joy in the know
ledge of his virtues and true and upright life
His memory will be always green in our hearts
and trusting in the promises, we shall hope that
when We too, obey the summons of the Grand
Master of Heaven where, by the merits of the
Lion of the Tribe of Judah, we shall meet him in
that celestial Lodge where the Supreme Architect
of the Universe presides, where parting shall be
no more, where discordant voice shall arise,
where love divine shall enoble every heart and
Hosannas exalted employ every tongue
And be it further resolved that a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon minutes, copy be
sent to the bereaved family of our deceased
Brother, and copy be sent to the Wnslow Mail for
publication.

"The Stoning''

One of the strongest plays and
best 3-real feature of the year is
Jas. Oppenheim's story of "The
Stoning," which strikes root
where the ordinary production is
inane and impotent. 1t is the
story of a pretty girl, picturing
her in the pride of her childhood,
a favorite, the most loved of all
amo lg the young people, a pure
minded affectionate girl of up
right father and fond mother.
She falls in love with a handsome
young brakeman. Something in
his personality causes her sus-
ceptible heart to whisper that he
is her natural mate. Her faith
er's opposition only serves to
fan the flame, and the girl runs
away with the man of her choice.
He evades marrying her on one
preteXt or another until she
knows the sharpest pain a hu-
man heart can support. The
man to whom she has given all
an utterly worthless scoundrel.
The minister finds the girl, and
brings her home. She is forgiv-
en- by father and mother and the
minister, even as the Master for
gave, but the congregation had
not the true Christian spirit, and

and will be submitted to all
members at an early date.

Clearest possible admission. Do you

$3,5OO,OOO unless they had a good
