EASTERN STAR lOD3E
ADOPTS MEMORIAL

AT the regular meeting of the mem
bers of Canon City Chapter No. 2l.
Order of the Eastern Star, Monday
night the following memorial commem-
orative of the life and character of
Chaplain Blake was unanimously
adopted and ordered ensro sed on
the records of the organizations:
In the passing of Chaplain John
G. Blake. this city and state has lost
one of its most upright, honorable,
and respected citizens, and this Chap
ter true and ia .thful member.
Brother Blake was born in Indian
apolis, Indiana, in 1917. He graduated
from Hanover College and a Presby-
home state. He was a member of
Silver Cliff Lodge No. 3S. A. F. & A.
M. and received the degree in this
chapter July Il. 1911. He has been
a resident of this city for more than
ten years, during which time he has
served the state as chaplain of the
penitentiary.
"A plain man among men in his
habits, caring little for outward show
or applause, guided alone by what the
voice of duty told him, ever ready to
make personal sacrifice if he might
aid his less fortunate brother. he was
always alert to carry the message of
life and hope from His Master to those
in trouble or distress.
When the call comes TO one who
having rounded out an honored and
well spent life. and having grown frail
with sickness. and weary with the hard
ships of physical decline, and having
been possessed of wonderful patience
and sublime fortitude in the very face
of death, even hoping for the sum-
mons of the Master. we cannot regret
that his prayer has been answered.
while his sudden passing on the
night of March Goth has brought grief
to the hearts of all who knew him. may
his memory be an inspiration that
will lineer with us during our remain
ing days.
Passing out of the shadow, into a
purer light,
Stepping behind the curtain, get
ting clearer sight:
Laying aside the burden, this weary
mortal coil,
Done with the worlds vaxations,
done with its tears and toll:
Tired of all earth's playthings, heart
sick and ready to sleep;
Ready to bid our friends farewell,
wondering why they weep;
Passing out of the shadow, into eternal
day
Why do we call it dying, this sweet
going away"
