Obituary.
and when all human dignities shall have vanished away . As the W . M . has remarked , Bro . Coombe waa chiefly known by a quiet performance of his duty and by his unobtrusive worth . Are there no lessons to be learned from that ? I think there are very many , both to those who perform dnties and occupy positions in the fierce glare of the
world's opiniona and the world s observation as well aa those who occupy positions little known and often little appreciated . When in the Lodge the W . M . and the Wardens occupy the supreme position , and the Deacona inferior posts , followed by the brethren whose duties are more humble , yet we cannot but feel that all are equal in
Freemasonry , yet that each performs his allotted task whioh makes the successful whole . Stone and 1 imber from the forests of Lebanon and the quarries of Zeredathah formed the splendid temple at Jerusalem whioh owed his existence to the master mind of Hiram Abif . In the liturgy of the church of which I am a hnmble minister
we pray constantly against sudden death . Rightly I believe has that clause been inserted in our beautiful Litany , because amid the temptations and trials of business and the turmoils of thia world we are so often engrossed that we are not always prepared for the sudden call to Eternity . From what we know of our dear Brother
he was ready to receive hia wages at tbe Master a hand . He was an exception to most of us , and we firmly believe that his life was squared upon the principles of moral truth and virtue , and that his faculties were used to the glory of God and the good of mankind , that he had answered the great end of life , and had learned to look
npon death as the end of a conflict and the entrance to a better world . In that Sacred Volume whioh we all prize we are told that the Judge of the world shall come in Hia glory , with hia Holy angels . Then shall He set upon the throne of His glory , and before Him shall be gathered all nations . He shall separate them one from the other .
He shall divide the sheep from the goats , and shall set the good on His right and the bad on His left hand . Permit me to call your attention to one particular clause of His address to the good : " Come , ye blessed , for I was in prison and ye visited me . Then shall they say : Lord , when wast thou in prison and we visited thee ? And
the King shall answer : Verily , I say nnto you , inasmuch aa ye did it to one of the least of these , my brethren , ye did it unto me . " These words are particularly applicable to the case of Bro . Coombe , inasmuoh as he had pity and consolation for many a sin-stricken soul in Armley Gaol , in the course of his daily ministrations . The law , the
army , the arts and the sciences have had their victories , have been carried to the distant parts of the earth by men whose conspicuous labours have made England glorious wherever the snn rises and sets . Bnt , as Milton says , " peace hath her victories as well aa war . " There are the the quiet positions as well as the brilliant ones , and I honestly
hold that the man who sets a good example , in quiet duties well performed , as our Brother did , who leaves a bright example for others to copy , will perform as noble a work as any in a more exalted poaition , and , equally with them , help to make the world better than he found it .
W . Bro . Trevor P . M . 2069 , who watched with unremitting care by the death bed of Bro . Coombe , conveyed the heartfelt gratitude of the survivors to the brethren , ancl especially thanked the members of Goderich ( 1211 ) and Fidelity ( 289 ) for their beautiful floral remembrances .
The R . W . Prov . G . M . ( Bro . Tew , J . P ., P . G . D . ) gracefully spoke of the many excellent qualities of the deceased , and said he was there also to represent the Magistrates of the West Riding of Yorkshire . The brethren then formed in procession to the house of the deceased , and afterwards to All Souls' Church , where the first part of the
service was performed by the Rev . Cecil Hook and the Rev . Dr . Smyth . As the coffin passed throngh their ranka the brethren cast their sprigs of acacia upon it as the last tribute of respect to one whom they sincerely loved in life and deeply mourned in death . The
cortege then proceeded to New Worthing Cemetery , where the remains were laid in their last resting place , the closing scene being witnessed by the Governor of Armley Gaol and all the officers who conld be spared from duty .

The Theatres, &C.
THE THEATRES , & c .
Grand—It ia evidently Mr . Charles Wilmot's intention to make this splendid house the centre for North London theatricals . Not only did he provide a sound pantomime , but he has opened the dramatic season with a powerful and attractive list . " The Armada " waa played to good houaea for a fortnight , and , on Monday last ,
"Hands across the Sea" was put on for the same limit aa regards representation . The popularity of Mr . Henry Pettitt ' s play waa far from exhausted at the Princess's , so it is no wonder crowded houses hare been tbe order throughout the week . The piece has been touched up here and there since it was first produced , one noticeable
instance being the prison scene , where , instead of knocking over eight or nine warders , by himself , Jean de Lnssa now helps Jack Dudley to knock down the trifle of six . The company is an exceptionally strong one , containing , as it does , some half-dozen well known names . Mr . Laurence Cantley replaces Mr . Henry Neville , as Jack Dudley ,
and his manly bearing and earnest style admirably snits the part . Mr . Basaett Roe has one of those characters he is so fond of portraying—Robert Stillwood ; painstaking ever , Mr . Roe makes this villain stand out prominently , and , as reward for hia efforts , is soundly hissed . Mr . E . W . Garden adds to his Princess ' s success as Tom
Bassett , while Mr . Julian Cross scores well as Jean de Lnssa , especially so in fche last act . Mr . A . Wellesley was good as Count Paul , while praise is due to Messrs . F . D . Herbert , E . Mayeur , and W . Hargreaves aa Hiram Hiccory , Captain Land , and Dick Melford respectively . Of Miss Florence West's performance as Lilian Melford
we cannot speak too highly . Her style is suited to the part , and she scores at every possible opportunity , securing fche sympathy of her audience throughout . Misa Julia Warden , a great favourite at the Grand , was capital as Lucy Nettleford , while Miss Ina Barnard , in
her short scene as Madame Valerie , aoted well . " Hands Across the Sea" remains at the Grand all next week , after whioh , by arrangement with Messrs . Gatti , " The Bells of Haslemere" will be the attraction .
Miss Watt Tanner makes her debut in London , at Terry ' s , on the 19 th inst ., nnder the management of Mr . Edward Michael , who produces a new three act comedy , by J . W . Pigott , in which Mr . Edward
Terry will create the title role . Misa Tanner ia a great favourite in Australia , from whence she hails , and has been playing leading business in that country , with Messrs . Williamson , Garner , and Musgrave , for over six years .
Miss Kinharvie will give a matinee at Terry's , on Tuesday , the 26 fch insfc ., when she will make her first appearance in England in the part of Constance Winthrop , in Bronson Howard ' s play of " Young Mrs .
Winthrop , produced under the direction of Mr . F . H . Macklin . The cast will comprise : —Messrs . J . G . Grahame , Alfred Bishop , F . Kerr , H . Reeves Smith j the Misses Kinharvie , Morland and Cudmore , and Mrs . F . H . Macklin .
Mr . E . J . Lonnen , ofthe Gaiety , takes his first benefit on Monday afternoon , 1 st April . One of hia oldest friends , Mr . H . T . Brickwell , of Terry ' s , will , in conjunction with Mr . F . J . Potter , of the Gaiety ,
undertake the business management of same , and are at the present time preparing a stupendous bill , comprising the names of our most celebrated entertainers . Full particulars will be duly announced . The Box plan for the sale of tickets is now open .
Mr . Charles Wyndham has now definitely decided that Misa Virginia Blackwood ' s benefit will take place at the Strand Theatre , 19 th March , when "The Balloon" will be played , with incidentals to follow . Craven Lecture Hall . —A concert , which waa received with
every token of approval by a crowded audience , waa given at the ' Craven Lecture Hall , Foubert-place , Regent-sfcreefc , on the 22 nd nlfc ., in aid of the funds of the Royal Masonio Institution for Boys . The entertainment , whioh was carried to snch a favourable issue , owed its initiation to Bro . Dr . Corrie Jackson ( P . M . 534 ) , who had spared
no efforts lo make it a success . He waa ably supported by several ladies and gentlemen , amateur and professional , who had generously volunteered their services . Bro . Chas . Bertram , one of the cleverest and most bewildering conjurors of the day , whose assistance is never invoked in vain in aid of our Charities , gave some of his marvellous
tricks with cards ; while Mdlle . Patrice performed some feats of legerdemain with such adroitness as to thoroughly mystify her audience . Mrs . Marsh sang mosfc gracefully , and with clever execation , Tito Mattel's "Dear Heart , " and also in fche duefc "In fche dnak of the Twilight , " iu which she waa joined by Mr . A . C .
Bonham . A selection from " II Trovafcoro " was contributed , aa a violin solo , by Mr . Arnstein . Mr . J . Harrington Young ( the renowned flautist of the Promenade Concerts ) played , with his usual effect , some airs from " Dorothy . " Miss Lizzie Burrell gave an agreeable rendering of "A Lark ' s Flight , " by F . L . Moir ; while the choir of
fche Polytechnic School , under the direction of Mr . Egerton , earned a well merited encore for fcheir singing of one of those vocal waltzes which have been made ao popular by Mr . Gwyllim Crowe . There were also recitations , by Mr . F . Lindo ; humorous sketches by Mr . Millar Wilkinson a piano solo by Mr . Pascal Taylor , and banjo
solo by Mr . Butter , which woro very much appreciated , Messrs . Metzler and Co . very kindly lent the piano for the occasion , The concert was altogether a great and deserved succe .- * . ^ uud will no doubt enable Bro . Dr . Corrie Jackson to add a substantial sum to the funds of the Institution .
