place a- few days since . The Chairman , in feeling terms , expressed his deep regret at the loss of Mr . Simons , who had fallen in the faithful discharge of his duty to the parish . He had known Mr . Simons as a medical officer for ten years , and he had always been really kind to the poor . ( Hear , hear . ) He had desired the Clerk to prepare a resolution of condolence to be forwarded to Mrs . Simons , to this
effect :-- ' That this Board deeply regrets the demise of Mr . John Simons , and desires very respectfully to offer to his widow and family its sincere condolence in their bereavement / Mr . John Aston very cordially moved the resolution , which was seconded by Mr , Maher , who also expressed his deep sympathy at the loss of so valued an officer . The motion was supported by several guardians , and unanimously adopted . " '
Out of evil arises good . The sacrifice of Bro . Simons has aroused attention to the sanitary condition of many parts of Birmingham which have heretofore been grossly neglected , and it is to be hoped that stringent measures will speedily be adopted for remedying in some degree the existing evils . It may be mentioned , as somewhat remarkable , that at his last meeting with a few Brethren , who had assembled on the first evening of the present year to converse upon matters connected with the Howe Lodge , Bro . Simons , after rising to take his departure ,
remained for a long time Standing , dilating with considerable earnestness upon the perils to which those are exposed whose professional duties call them to the sick beds of poverty and wretchedness , dwelling most impressively and with much feeling upon the self-devotion he had witnessed amongst members of the priestly order , in placing themselves in contact with paupers dying of malignant fevers . Was this presentiment , or did he even then feel within himself the seeds of that disorder which three weeks later stretched him upon the bed of death ? " Who shall determine ?
u They say the words of dying men Enforce attention , like deep harmony ;" and the writer of this notice well remembers the fix eel regard with wdiich , on that occasion , Bro . Simons was listened to .
