WHEREAS, Since our last annual meeting JANE,
W. WALKER, formily an agent of this Society, ha.
gone from the scene of his earthly labors to an
other and a higher life, therefore,
ReSotred, That We appreciate highly his abb,
and earnest efforts as a public advocate in the cause
of the slave, feel deep regret that his eloquent an,
faithful voice can no more be heard among US an
while declaring our high respect for his mani
character and christian heroism, we would ais
earnestly express our sympathy for his bcrcaved
wife and children, separated as they are for II sea
son from Il beloved companion and parent.
Resolred, That in the dcccase of our friend, an
the friend of the slave, ASA DAVIS we feel tina
an old and faithful abolitionist, q self-sacrifcin
man, untiring in his llbors, with a hand open q
day to melting charity" and yet so quiet and rt
firing as 10 be hardly known except as his goo
deeds led men to ask the source from whence the
came, has gone from among US, as we trust, to tn
reward that awaits the good.
Reso1red, That notwithstanding the late SAMuE
LEWIS, differed from US in his views of politics
duty, we would not therefore Withhold an expressio
of deep sorrow for his death, believing that Ere,
dom has in him lost one of its ablest advocates, an
Christianity and true craftsmanship one of its pu
est exemplers, and of whom it may be truly sale
" his works do follow him.
