Resolutions Of Respect.

The members of Red Land Lodge No
las. Il. and \. NJ. Cartervillc. La. realiz-
ing. with profoundest sorrow, the loss sus-
taincd in the death of their friend and col
league, NJ. ii. Brock, desire to make formal
record of appreciation of his successful
labors. inspiring personality and exalted
character.
Brother Brock was made a Master Mason
in Alabama during 1852. He removed to
Rossicr Parish during 1876, and was one
of the charter members of Red Land Lodge.
He was also Past Master.
Brother Brock rendered the lodge most
faithful and efficient service by reason of
strong native ability as instructor for young
men. His cOnscientiOusness caused him to
do his work with thor0ughness and dill
gence, and his moral influence was greatly
helpful to those privileged to come under
his tutalagc. Gcnerons-heartcd, fair-minded,
broadly sympathetic. jealous for others in
terests. made him to be loved and esteemed
by all who knew him.
His personality was characterized by I'M
usual lOyelincss Of heart. cathOlicity of
spirit, frank and kindly expression OF opin-
ion, and exceedingly well balanced judg-
ment.
In character evidences of the Christian
man ut all times seemed to be his shine.
No man could show the graces of God in "a
more perfect way than did our brother.
His memory will be cherished with affec-
ton. and his influence will abide as a
benediction.
There are but few men and women who
reach such ripe age as did our brother.
He was born June ), 1928. in oxford. Ala,
and died March %. 1918 He joined the
Baptist Church just rs he was coming into
manhood. He brought his church letter
with him when he came to this country.
His daily prayer was that God would not
allow him to suffer Il prOtracted illness.
and that he would not have to suffer be-
fore he should go to his heavenly reward.
So he was heard-his prayer was granted.
He was twice married. and yet lived a
wfdower for a long time. He and his last
wife married on Good Friday, and he died
on Good Friday.
He leaves six children to suffer hours Of
loneliness in their loss. God temper the
winds that come over the shorn children,
Therefore, be il resoired. That these ex-
pressions, as II testimonial of sincere and
heartfelt appreciation, he duly spread on
the minutes of Red Land Lodge No. las,
+. and 4. NJ, and that copy of same be
