Reading what no one good will do;

Of becoming acquainted with our now deceased

painless that 1t seemed almost like translation
from earth to heaven, we recognize the hand OF
Him who is both his Father and ours; who was
especially kind and gracious to His servant, in
removing him without pain when his work was
done, and under circumstances which made his
dying great and striking testimony to the ines
Unable value of our religion, and most power
full and impressive to all of us who survive
him.
3. Resolved, That we tender to the bercaved
wife and fatherless children our fearful sympathy
in the heavy blow which has fallen on them by
this visitation of Gods providence; that we COM
mend them to the God of all grace and comfort
for the only balm which can heal their bleeding
hearts; and that we most earnestly beseech the
presence of the Comforter with them to gil Their
souls with the consultations which so cheered the
now sainted husband ana father.
4. Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the widow of our deceased brother, with
the request that she forward the same TO hor sor
rowing children, and make such disposition OF
them as may seem best to her ard her friends.
