LEDOUX E. SMITH.

When a man dies the spirit of
his deeds remain. Faces are
soon forgotten when the green
vines OF an endless future Chamber
over all traces of mortality.
Posterity and the never ending
cham Of professions of new souls
take no interest in epitaphs, eleg-
les and eulogies Of departed parts
of humanity.
Notwithstanding a pervading
materialism and a love for the
concrete, there are outstanding
features which distinguish one
man S character from another,
one mans silent voice of con-
science from another, one man S
soul from another. No two men,
due to the infinite wisdom and
omniscience of Providence, leave
the same moral and spiritual
heritage behind. The varied ac-
tivities marking time in mans
existence also shape character.
habits and views.
Within this scope Of the out
look in life, we may gratefully
mention our silent friend, LeDoux
E. Smith. No greater tribute
need be paid to his memory than
the allusiOn to a natural kind
heartedness that knew no limit.
Even in times Of storm and stress
there was an ever willing flow Of
good cheer. of announcement, Of
helpfulness through his whole ca
reer. He was a true prince of
charity. Of love, Of true and loyal
friendship.
Loving the people, inspired by
the stir Of the crowd, thrilled by
the perpetual youth Of the HUI
man stream, he approached the
grave with a smile, with a con-
yincing confidence to meet his
merited reward. Can any vision |
produce nobler picture, a more
divine image of the Creator. This |
divine touch in mans nature, |
whether clothed in character, in
work or sacrifices the immortal
itv awaiting the human race. No
earthly grave can pull the cur
tain over it and dissipate it in
the mists of the dreams Of dark
ness and doubt. To this army
LeDoux F. Smith rendered great
service and the heavenly archives
recording the effective deeds Of
he Grand universal brotherhood
IF man you will find in his work,
brought from the quarries Of bit
ter human experience, accepted
Is true work fit for the true
Temple Of humanity.
