FUNERAL DIRGE
Solemn strikes the fun′ral chime, Notes of our departing time; As we journey here below, Through a pilgrimage of woe! Mortals now indulge a tear, For mortality is near! See how wide her trophies wave O′er the slumbers of the grave! Here another guest we bring––Seraphs of celestial wing, To our fun′ral Altar come, Waft this friend and brother home. Lord of all! below––above––Fill our hearts with truth and love; When dissolves our earthly tie, Take us to Thy Lodge on high.
--David Vinton

In Memoriam

No Lodge should neglect to keep in touch with its Masonic Widows. Each Lodge Member should show concern that demonstrates his fidelity to the Obligations he took upon himself to aid and assist our Widows and Orphans.
