Maconic Resolutions
Friends and Brethren. By an inevi-

the Universe on yesterday morning

loved Brother and Companion, Tyn-
dal H. Brown was called from labor
to rest" For him is ended the strug-
gle of material existence. Together
we met around the acred altar to
strengthen the kindly ties of Brother
ly Love. Together we learned that
truth softers the heart in for-bear-
ance and III the forgiveness of hum
an frailties. Together we cultivate
relief, whereby so many lives are
made brighter and happier. Because
of these things we cling to the men,
ory of pleasant associations with our
brother and hope that when we, too,
shall have passed from among the
living to land beyond the shadows,
then again. we may find JOY in Fra
