BRETHREN:-lt is with profound sorrow

Many of US have known brother Harriss
for years have loved him as friend and
brother in Christ, and esteemed him as
one whose daily walk and conversation
proved that there was truth and power
in the religion he pOtessed. We have all
esteemed him as oman and citizen, one
who was above rqrOach, and upright and
honorable in az his affairs. We desire to
testify to his with and piety, and in doing
so would tendsr tC the Church over which
he ruled, an. to Tie Session of which he
was member, our sincere sympathy in
their bereavement. At the same time we
would rejoice in the knowledge that he has
gone to lis reward, and is now with that
Saviour in whose service he ever took de-
light, no more to be assailed by sorrow
temptation and sin.
BY order of the Session of First Presby-
terrain Church.
JAS. d. CUNNING, Clerk.
Wilmington, n. c., April "a. 1872.
Whereupon the Session adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions.
PeSOlred That it is With profound sOr-
row we hoar of the death Of our highly es-
to4med and well-beloved Brother, n. L.
Harriss, 4 Ruling Elder III our church,
who, ever since he protested faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ and connected himself
with the church, led an exemplary and
christian life. His walk and conversation
were such as becOmeth the Gospel who,
soon after he connected himself with the
church, was elected and ordained a Ruling
Elder; and as a member of our body, his
intercourse with us was always OF that
character that indicated the Well-bred,
christian gentleman. AS an
officer of the church, he was conscientious,
ilithfuI and efficient. Though he cOntin-
uel his ecclesiastical relation with us until
his heath, for several months past he resi-
ded il. his native city, Wilmington. And
it is with pleasure we note that the sad
tidingS of his death ire accompanied by the
endorsement of his ch;~acter as a christian
and citizen by those WhO%new him so well
as the members of the Session of the First
PRESBYTERIAN church, Of Wilmington.
ReSOlred, I'd, That we recognize the
hand of God in this Providence, and bow
with humble resignation to the will OF
Him who dOeth all things well, and pray
that we may be more deeply impressed with
the importance of laboring faithfully IN our
Masters cause while it is to-day, that when
the night OF death cometh, we may render
a good account of our stewardship.
Resolved, Sd, That we tender our con-
doleace to his bereaved widow and aged
mother, and other sorrowing friends,
knowing and approaching the worth OF
him whom they mourn. We would not
bid them dry up their tears, but we rejoice
to know that they sorrow not as others
who have no hope, for theirs is a glorious
hope that our Brother has fallen asleep IN
Jesus, and when the Lord cometh lie VII
bring him with Him.
RcsoIred, 4th, That the communication
of the Session of the First Presbyterian
church, of Wilmington, together with these
resolutions, be spread upon the minutes o.
the Session of this church, copy OF the
same be sent to the widow OF our deceased
Brother, and also to the Wilmington
JOURNAL, Morning Star and North caro-
lima Presbyterian, with the request tina
they be published.
A. h. CROMARTIE,
Clerk of Session.
