emulation , but it is not certain that he AA'as ever able to eclipse Bro . Pope ' s nuilliiui in parvo . The late Bro . Samuel Pope Avas created a Senior Grand Deacon in 1886 . His attendances at Grand Lodge were not frequent , which , in consideration of the enormous extent of his legal practice and the physical difficulties under which
he laboured , is not perhaps a matter for surprise . He died practically in harness , and during the last feAV years of his attendance at Parliamentary enquiries , it Avas necessary for him to be wheeled through the corridors in a chair . BeloAed by his friends and respected by all who
knew him , the late Bro . Pope Avas a representative Freemason , and an ornament to the Craft with which he was so long connected .
