In storms he had the strength of the oak; In sun shine he was vine and flower.

He was as full of hope as spring was of promise. Tomorrow was without a cloud, and of tomorrow he borrowed sunshine for today. He lived in the faith of the mother church of his native land, but In the Eden of his belief humanity was the presiding deity, and Eternal . Damna tion a loat cause.

With Uncle Ben Brown, immortal ity was won as the eternal conse quence of the good we do In this world. ' He believed that every pure thought, every disinterested act of human kindness, hastened the har vest of universal good. His was a re ligion that enriches poverty; that en ables us to bear the sorrows of the saddest life; that, in divine vision peoples' even solitude with happy, hopeful millions yet to live, a religion born of love, of gratitude and faith, a religion that slakes the thirst of others, and bears the burden of gen erations unborn. But in the presenc ) of death how loving worde and dded of kindness burst into blossom. When you pluck from the tree of any life these flowers, there remains but the barren thorns of selfishness,, greed and hypocracy. Iu every heart there grows the sacred flower of Immortality. It is the word that hope through all the ages has been whispering to love, an that Israel has promised to a re deemed world. Without this assur ance, the miracle of thought cannot be understood, and the mystery of death we cannot comprehend. W'th. out It the chaos of the world ha never been explained, and the golden bridge of life "emerges from eloom. and on shadow rests." Fate is speech less, destiny Is dumb, and the secrets of the future, without faith and hoD.i. can never be told. In a worldly seooe. an paths, whether filled with thorn or flowers, end here. Here success and failure are the same thing. The rag of wretchedness and the purple robe of power lose all distinction in the democracy of death. Character survives; the good we do lives: and the good we can do is our duty to each other, to our fellow man, and to our God. Ilia was a life for emulation. He loved this order as the members loved him. He was loyal in his friendships, firm in his convictions and kind to all. In a marked degree, he lived the simple life. Mild and plain of speech and manner, he envied no man his place or possessions. His hospitality was so genuine, his com panionship so sincere and lovable, his loss to us all Is a personal grief. In life's pilgrimage, In or out of the order, we will never meet a more lov able, manlier man, than Uncle Ben Brown. He not only measured up to but towered above his opportunities and surroundings. And. after all, are we not driven to the grim conclusion, that man must master - his surround ings and not let his environments master him? What our brother has done we all can do. And he was not an exception. We can point with pardonable pride to a membership among, the friends of the deceased. Not long sines onr duty brought us to this village on a like mission, and since then the name of brother W. G. Hunter has been inscribed upon the memorial tablet of our lodge. These men were brothers, our brethren, and each a fit exemplar of the duties we impose, and their lives are objects to others and ourselves. But time forbids detail.
