fui members Of Biue Grass Lodge No
II X. Of p. Of Lexington While he

he alxays showed that true. manly
spirit OF Pyihianfsn al an times and
on az occasions.
BE 1T RESOLVED. On the 11th Of
February. 1872. the dread messenger
was dispatched with summons for =
mother member. and fhe soul Of Bro
Lee Fisher bowed before Gods mercy
seat
Soldier Of Christ vel done.
Praised be ny employ.
And while eternal ages run.
Rest in the Savior's JOY.
For faith has woven the thread Of
life with pain. and twins even from.
birth are misery and man.
Be II Further Resolved. That Bro
Their Lee Fisher has fallen, he has
answered the summons of the Great
Arbfter Of human fate. his death has
created an aching void in the hearts
of those who knew him and loved
him We recognize the wisdom Of
Him who doeth all things wen. to the
sacred hosts where peace and eter-
nal happiness are the reward Of those
who are faithful That Brother Fish
er. our friend. was one Of natures
noblemen- He possessed the quail
ties Of greatness and grandeur: he
was a king among men and God-like
in character.
Be Il Further Resolved. Death Is
always an unwelcome guest, comes
oftentimes unheralded, leaving in its
wake desolated homes and broken
ties which can never be cemented
even with the most heroic effort of
those who are bereaved. Had he
asked us, well we know we would
say, ~Oh. spare the blow" yes, with
streaming tears would pray: Lord.
We love him, let him stay"
So great was he that his charac-
ter stood out like the golden sun.
Frightening and vivifying and vital
izing all with whom he met. So
grand was he that the milk of hui
man kindness was always uppermost
with dealing with friends and foes
alike. He stood erect battling for
the right until peace and harmony
reigned everywhere.
Be 1t Further Resolved, His great
heart was big enough and broad
enough to afford sanctuary for all
who were in distress, ever ready to
give solace to a wounded spirit, even
TO a longing heart He asked for the
right in all matters, and then with
tthe courage of his convictions, he
waged a relentless war against n.y.
pocricy and deceit
Death did not first strike Adam,
the first sinful man, nor Cain, the
first hypocrite. but Abel, the inno-
cent and righteous; the first soul
that met death overcame death; the
first soul parted from earth went to
Heaven. Death argues not displeas-
ure, because he whom God loved
best dies first, and the murderer is
punished with living.
BIT 1t Further Resolved. That we.
the officers of Blue Grass Lodge, No.
IL, K of p, representing the entire
membership, do bow our heads in
humble submission to the divine de-
cree which has created sad desola-
ton in our ranks, yet VIE shall ever
cherish his memory and noble at
tributes with the sacred love which
shall be engraved on the tablet of
our memory as long as Pythianism
shall live.
Be II Further Resolved, That
copy of these resolution be sent to
the bereaved family, and also placed
on the minute book of our lodge.
