A RESOLUTION IN HONOR OF
BROTHER L. M. MITCHELL,
OF AUSTIN LODGE NO.

1853.
At the call of higher potentate
our beloved brother, Louis Mitchell,
has gone to answer the summons.
Louis Mitchell was an employee Of
the United States postoffice and
served as a postman for a number Of
years. He was one of the first to
serve in this capacity in the city of
Austin. He possessed the confidence
of all who knew him, both colored and
white, and no one was ever heard to
lodge complaint age inst him. He was
good citizen, a good Christian man.
and faithful husband and father.
During the year of 1907 Brother
Louis Mitchell first cast his lot with
the Grand United Order OF Odd Fell
lows of Austin, Texas, Lodge No.
2339, some fourteen years ago, and
during these years he has served from
the lowest to the highest officer Of
the order. He was a faithful lodge
member for all these raany years, and
it is beyond words for Us as members
of this organization to express orr
grief over his passing.
As faithful servants of the father
we are thankful that we had our de-
parted brother with us for so many
years to set an example of love and
faithfulness, which is the highest
tribute that we can pay him. We are
philosophers and Christians enough
not to mourn him as depcrted from
our midst, but rather would we be-
lieye that his spirit is still among us
and chat he has only gone TO a hap
pier and brighter world for brief
time, where in few years at the
most we will join him.
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Grand United Order Of Odd Eel
lows. Austin, Texas, Lodge No. 2339
do extend our deep sympathy to the
bereaved family Of our deceased
brother, and that a copy Of this reso-
luton be mailed to the widow Of de-
ceased, and that same be also printed
in the Odd Fellows Journal.

APo0K OF LIFE.
The Bible is MT primarily book
of precepts. 1t is much more than
a guide in morality. Thu Bible is
Book Of Life. The Lord God breath
ed into Adam the breath Of life, and
Adam became a living soul--a never
dying soul. The Bible gives instance
after instance of the continually of
life. Enough did not see death; he
was translated. Elijah was carried
to heaven in q chariot Of fire. Jesus
held conversation with Moses and
Elijah, two worthless who had dweit
on the earth many years before Jesus
was born. Jesus appeared to his dis
ciples after his death. These occur
rences arc set down as matters Of
course in the Bible. The whole pur-
pose and intent Of the Bible is t.
bring life and immortal to light It
may concern itself with mems con-
duct toward each other lit doees.
But it constantly iterates the fact
that earth is not mans abiding place.
1t puts the emphasis ON Life-on the
life everlasting. 1t says that these
light affiliations will work out for us
greater glory. "But now they de-
sire better country, that is, ar
heavenly: wherefore God is not
ashamed to be called their God; for
he hath prepared for them city,
They had triumphant faith. The life
in them being certified to by the light
from the throne of God, they could
not fail to walk worthy Of their high
calling in God.
One sweetly welcome thought,
Comes to me DER and Ger;
Pm nearer home today
Than I've ever been before.
That il what the Bibles message
does for every soul that has passed
from death unto lifel it brings the
sweet thought of place prepared
for US wher we have done with this
earthly Tabernacle. The Bible is q
book Of mortals-yes. But that Is in
cidentsl; primarily, the Bible is :
Book OF Life.-Times Herald.

Wherever the society of u. B. F is
known in Texas the name of the late
lamented L. M. Mitchell is also known.
His name is household word in this
fraternity. Some of the elements
of his character are brotherhood and
friendship. -
He has stood by his noble order
in sunshine and storm. He gave the
best In his life for the principles on
which it is founded. He was dutiful
to his bath and obligation; and never
did his comrade call upon him in need
or distress and was turned away
empty handed.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to take from our midst and rank
our friend and brother, Hon L. M.
Mitchell, and, whereas, in his death
the q. B. F.'s of Texas has lost one
of its strongest and lifelong support
ers, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to the will of an allwise
creator.
Be it further resolved, That we
pledge ourselves to give every COM
fort in our power to the widow and
children that they may know and feel
that they still have friend in us, the
United Brothers of Friendship.
Be It further resolved that copy
of these resolutions be spread upon
the face of our records and that a
copy be given to the family and that
copy be sent 10 The Dallas Express

Cling
At the bottom of the stairs
1t is like healing medicine
Just to know that some one cares.
Some one who can appreciate
Ones efforts when he tries,
Some one who seems to understand,
And so, can sympathize
Some one who, when there far away
Still wonders how you fares
Some one who never can forget
Some one who really cares.
1t will send thrill Of rapture
Through the frame of your heart
1t will stir the inner being
Till the tear drops want to start:
For this life is worth the living
When som& one your sorrows
shares
Life is truly worth the living
When you know that some one
cares.
Oh, this world is not all sunshine
Many days dark clouds disclose:
There's cross for every joy-bell
And thorn for every rose
But the cross is not so grievous
Nor the thorn the rosebud wears
And the clouds have silver Innings

A. o. P. No. 249.
The following resolutions were Of
fered by directors, officers and mem
bers Of Eureka Lodge No. IA, X. of
p, and Pride of Texas Court No. 45
Calanthians.
We, as survivors of our comrade
and friend in the hour Of turmoil and
strife are called on to step out in the
open and declare ourselves as true
sympathizers with the family and as
mourners, too, in the taking away of
our .Pythian partner in the person
of Sir L. M. Mitchell, who for %
years has given his all to the cause
and success for our noble principles.
While this our big brother and
father has been in the forefront, he
has at all times been as ready to take
and obey orders as he was to give
them, thereby showing that he was
safe and satisfied follower of prop
erly lead. This brother can be easily
styled as the pioneer builder that has
made it possible for the Pythians and
their families and kindred orders to
succeed. They have been inspired
thereby by putting millions Of dollars
in insurance into the colored race
thereby showing that he was one Of
the races greatest assets and his
passing is keenly felt and his loss
means much.
Therefore be it resolved by the
membership of Eureka No. IA and the
Ladies Of Pride of Texas Court No
45, that we bow in humble submission
to His will that has power to temper
every wind that blows and the be-
reaved family we commend to His
care ard keeping.

Special Course For
High School Coaches

A special course for high school
coaches will be offered by the Ply
steal Education department OF the
Utah Agricultural College during
the Summer quarter, according to
Coach Romney, who will conduct
the work. The course will include
training in coaching high school
teams in the four chief branches of
athletic competition, football. base
ball, basketball and track, and field
sports. The work will be of fun
damental nature, designed TO help
equip secondary and grade school
teachers who may be expected to, or
who desire to fit themselves to be
of worth in coaching one or more of
the school athletic teams in addi-
ton to their regular academic work,
and who have had little or no coach
ing experience and perhaps a limit
ed experience in athletic competition
in one or more Of the major sports.
Coach Romney expects that this
course will be very popular because
1t fills a real need in the schools
today. In characterizing the course,
Coach Romeny said with the rap
idly increasing number of high
schools and the constantly growing
emphasis on physical education and
athletic development as an essential
part OF the educational program, a
big demand is being made for male
instructors who can teach academic
courses and In addition coach one
or more Of the school athletic
teams. 1t is believed that con-
scientious attempt on the part OF
Of the student in these courses in
athletics, planned after the similar
courses of the best coaching schools
in the country will in a large meas
ure prepare him to fill such posi-
lions. In fact the courses offered
really come in response to a popular
demand.
"As far as it is deemed valuable
the work will be Of practical nature,
but 1t will be introduced and sup
iplemented by theoretical analysis OF
all the games and, playing OF them.
