Resolved.

Resolved. That this Grand Lodge owes a lasting debt of gratitude to the memory of our late R. W. P, G, Master Peabody for the important and permanent benefits which he has rendered to the Masonic Institution, not only by the discharge of the duties of the several officers, which he has holden, but by the wisdom of his council, and the firmness and consistency of his course, at a period when the Institution was threatened with dangers from without and from within.

Resolved. That this G. Lodge do bear their most cheerful testimony to the rare powers of mind and amiable qualities of heart in connection with the Masonic zeal and fidelity of our departed brother, which he manifested in his unabated interest for the best welfare of our Institution up to the last days of his life.
