zens; his church an exemplary and con-
sistent christian his family a faithful and
devoted husband and brother; the poor an
ever ready friend; the young an ever
trusty confident and counsellor; and all a
neighbor and associate, whose place is not
easily filed, and whose death is no COM
mon calamity; therefore, as some express
sion of our feelings for the loss We sustain
and of sincere sympathy for those to whom
it comes even closer than to ourselves;
Resolved 1st, That while We desire to
bow with proper submission to this severe
dispensation, we can but deeply dcplorc
the removal of our Brother from his vari-
Gus fields of labor and of duty, both public
and private, in the very strength of his
years, and the meridian Of his usefulness.
Resolved 2nd, That while his loss will
be deeply felt in all the various associa-
tions of life and the institutions with
which he stood connected nowhere can it
be more fully realized, Or more truly to be
lamentod, than by his associates ard co.
laborers in the great cause of Temperance,
whose earnest and unfinching friend he
has ever been.
Resolved Sd, That while we sincerely
sympathise with his family and friends in
their bereavement, we would bid them
take comfort in looking back at his bright
career Of eminent and bcnefccnt useful
ness; in contemplating the virtues that
made his life beautiful, and his death tri-
umphant; and point them to the consola-
ton that should spring from the well
grounded belief that our loss is his eternal
gain; that the sublime truths, which in
life he taught by prcccpts and in practice,
and on which in death he relied so trust
ingly; though then visioncl only to the
eye of faith, have now become the realities
of a glorious eternity. Signed,
