lowing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted
Whereas, when the congregations Of the
Washington Street Church had been de-
prived of a place Of worship, and were scat
tered about as sheep having no fold, the
BapGst congregation opened the doors Of
Their church to their afflicted and desti
tnte brethren, and afforded them q shelter
In thclr time of sore need:
ReSo!red, That We, the congregation OF
the Washington Street Church, do tender
our most profound and cordial thanks to
orr brethren of the Baptist Church, for
the use of their house of worship. for manv
months past, and for the unyaryiny Chris
tan courtesy and brotherly kindness ex-
tended to US by them.
Resotred That we earnestly trust that
the spirit OF fratcrnal intercourse TINS
engcndered between these two sister
churches may be constantly cherished by
the members of the same; and that. for
getting the distinctions Of sect. we NAV
continually work together in love for the
glory OF our common Lord and Master.
Hesolred That a copy of these resoIu-
tons be transmitted to the pastor of the
BaprSt Church, and also that they be pub
ished IN the daily papers of the city.
