BRO . GEORGE HEMMENS , 610 . A widely-respected , a rnuch-beloved , and promising young brother has just passed away in the person of Bro . George Henry Hemmens , who entered the Grand Lodge above on the 3 rd inst . He was only 24 years of age when " God ' s finger touched him and he slept , " and it is a matter of sincere regret that he will be known to us no more in this world . His love for Freemasonry began in
youth , and at the earliest possible moment , he was initiated in the Colston Lodge , No . 610 , in the Province of Bristol , in which lodge his late respected father had been initiated before him . So early was his entrance into Freemasonry , that , if our memory is accurate , we believe the 21 st anniversary of his birth came between the time of proposition and the day of initiation I The appreciative regard he inherited and evinced for Freemasonry amounted to a loving veneration , for he
found its teachings congenial to his mind , and its principles suited and adapted to his nature . He delighted in Craft Masonry , and was a regular attendant as far as health and circumstances would permit . He was particularly fond of the working in the Mark Degree , to which he was advanced in Lyegrove Lodge , 218 , in the Province of Gloucestershire . During the short time he worked in the latter Degree , he rose to some distinction , and held , we believe , the office of Deacon at the time
of his death . Young , active , and energetic , he became a good all-round athlete , and was a smart and successful figure in the football and cricket fields , and the winning of more than one match has been indebted to his aid . In politics , he was a staunch Conservative , and his father and Bro . Sir Edward S . Hill , Prov . G . M . for South Wales , were fast friends . He found , or rather made , time to become an active and efficient member of the Artillery Volunteer Corps , and here his
genial manner was appreciated by his comrades . He was a sound Churchman , and evinced a lively interest in the church of his parish , where his father had served as Warden for many years . By the early departure of our brother , we are reminded that no sooner do we begin life , than death begins to follow us . borne on the wings of time , whose scythe is ever cutting short our strings of moments . Bro . Hemmens was in the skilful professional hands of Dr . Wallace
and Dr . Mitchell-Clarke , and on his proceeding to Bournemouth some months ago he was attended by Dr . Love . Here he stayed with Bro . Evans at the Granville Hotel , and here he received every kindness and every attention that was possible . At Bournemouth he passed away . The insidious disease tuberculosis had marked him for her own , and we only know that he lived respected and died regretted—died as all nature dies and lives again , shewing that this world is but
the tilling ground of Heaven , " The briefer life the earlier immortality ! " Let the sprig of acacia which has been placed in the right hand of our brother who has gone before tend to remind us , as our Masonic teachings ever do , of the frailty of man and the humanity of all things . Among the Masonic jewels of our departed brother were to be found friendship , morality , and brotherly love , and by these pure emanations of earthly goodness he will be long and affectionately
remembered . It has been the pleasure of the Almighty Architect to call him hence , and he has become " Like the stars by day , withdiawn from mortal eye ; but not extinct , he holds his way in glory through the sky . " Let our compassion and condolence , like the acacia , drop tenderly and sympathetically towards the mother of our good friend and to his sister , and to that other dear sister who was to have been his wife , may they and other near and
dear relatives receive that comfort and consolation which i t is not in the power of earthly hands or minds to bestow or impart . The tolling of the bell of St . Paul ' s , Bedminster , on Monday afternoon , announced the sad intelligence that the mortal remains of one of our young brothers were about to be laid to rest . From Bournemouth the body had been conveyed to the residence of the deceased , Calabar House , Coronation-road , Bristol . From here
the funeral took place , leaving at two o ' clock . The cortege consisted of an open hearse and several mourning coaches . On the line of route the blinds were drawn , and in the neighbourhood of Bedminster , where Bro . Hemmens has long been known in business , black shutters were exhibited at many of the shops . The first part ofthe ceremony was held at St . Paul ' s , Bedminster , where the deceased had been a constant worshipper , and where for years his father had been warden .
The procession was met at the church door by the Rev . J . H . Ellaby ( the officiating clergyman ) , Mr . C . Ball ( ex-Churchwarden ) , Mr . Churchwarden Gardiner , and other officers . A large number of people hid gathered both in the body and gallery of the church . After the solemn strains of the organ had died away , the beautiful hymn , " Brief life is here our portion , " was sung , and the first part of the Church service was impressively gone through . The procession
reformed , and proceeded to Arne ' s Vale Cemetery , where the Rev . Ellaby , with much feeling , conducted the concluding part of the service . The removal of the violet embroidered pall disclosed a coffin of polished oak , with a brass breastplate bearing this inscription , " George Henry Hemmens , died 3 rd of May , 18 99 Aged 24 years . " After the body had been consigned to the grave , numerous
brethren of the Masonic Fraternity , in passing to view the coffin for the last time , dropped in their sprigs of acacia . A large quantity of people had found or made their way to the cemetery to pay a last sad token of respect . In the mourning coaches and carriages were the relatives and friends of the family , and these included Mr .
