In memoriam



Brethren, the roll of the workmen has been called, and these Master Masons have not answered to their names. The listed brethren have laid down the working tools of our Craft and with them have left that mortal armor for which they have no further use.
Their labors here below, have taught them to divest their hearts and consciences of the vices and superfluities of life, thereby fitting their minds as living stones for that spiritual building – that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Strengthened in their labor here by faith in God, and confident of the expectation of immortality, they have sought admission to the Celestial Lodge above...
