Resolved, that while the work of educa-
ton and moral reform, the cause of Christ
at large, and Congregational history and
interests in Vermont, and the churches in
Orleans county, have sustained a great loss
in the death of this eminent servant of our
Lord, our sympathies and our prayers are
especially due and are heartily pledged to
the church at Coventry, thus suddenly be-
reaved of their under shepherd.
Resolved, that we extend our tender
sympathy to the widow and children of our
deceased brother, hoping that their chris
tian faith nurtured by his counsels, and
stimulated by his example may uphold
them in this sore affiiction and ensure to
them the watchful care and unfaihng pro-
lection of our kind Heavenly Father.
