My Brethren, the roll of the workmen has been called, John Thompson, Grand Historian
and one more Master Mason has not answered to
his name. He has laid down the working tools of the
Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for
which he no longer has use.
His labors here below have taught him to divest his
heart and conscience of the vices and superfluities
of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for
that spiritual building—that house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God,
and, confident of expectation of immortality, he has
sought admission to the Celestial Lodge above.
