The Late Rev. VIM. Finney.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Al meeting of the congregation of IIar
mony Presbyterian Church, held on the 10th
inst, the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted as token of respect for the
memory of him who had preached to them
for many years.
Whereas, in the dispensation of an all-wise
God venerable and devoted servant, the
Rev. William Finney has been removed by
death from his sphere of usefulness and labor;
therefore be it.
ReS0lGed, |. By the Harmony congregation,
that while we humbly submit TO the will of
Him in whose hands all our lives are, we feel
constrained to bear our testimony to the meek
ness, consistency and faith of this aged and
beloved minister who for many years so I'M
obtrusiyely and so faithfully set before us life
and death, and SO urgently pressed upon us
the necessity ofsalvntion through crucilied
Redeemer; and we now take this occasion to
express our sincere gratitude and love for the
deep interest that he always manifested in
our welfare.
The last act of his ministerial labor was his
sacramental address to the members of our
Church, a vine ofhis own planting. And we
further record with lively gratitude to the
great Head of the Church. that his life was so
long spared, his labors SO eminently blessed,
and that he has left behind him precious
memory and bright example of devoted,
able, and successful minister of Christ.
Resolced, 2. That in the death of this SER
want of God, the Church has lost one whose
place cannot soon be filled. He was minis
ter ofno ordinary ability. In manner, mild,
easy, agreeable, pathetic. His figures and
comparisons were always simple, but chaste,
mostly drawn from nature and aptly chosen.
His voice was clear, distinct and pleasant.
His sermons were of a persuasive style, and
free from sectarian illusions. Hence the es-
teen in which he was held by other denomi-
nations. In fine he was a model preacher
ResolCed, B. That as Il citizen and neighl,or
he was kind, generous and sympathetic, al
ways ready to assist an applicant in need, a
promoter and friend of education, an opposer
of immortality and vice, a strong advocate of
the temperance cause, n pattern OF improve
mcnt and cultivated taste, for which he was
distinguished, inspiring desire and encour-
agement in his neighbors and fellow citizens
to profit by his example.
He exhibited in beautiful combination the
characteristics of benevolepce and modesty.
Few men were perhaps more beloved. His
exemplary department left nothing of envy
to whisper, or bitterness of spirit to object"
Res0lced, 4 That we deeply sympathize with
his family in their bereavement and sorrow,
and afrectionately commend them to Him
"who docth all things WELL" and that n copy
of these resolutions be transmitted to them
by the Secretary, and published in the papers
of this county

REV. FREDERICK GRosCUP.
ObiH, Aug,tSt 5h, 1873, aged IS gears.

"Aslcep in Jesus, blessed rest"
1t Is with heartfelt sorrow that | record the
demise of this most amiable gentleman. Mr..
Groscup was an afiectionate, loving husband; a
kind, devoted parent, and an excellent and use
full citizen. In his intercourse with his fellow
citizens he was high toned. social and refined.
He has been commitment in the Methodist
Church for the last 26 years, and has been
preacher of the gospel for II years. His sermons
were chaste, loving and refined, and were we'll
calculated to reach the heart of the sinner. He
was universally beloved by all who knew him.
and his departure has created q void in the cir
Gle of his acquaintance that cannot be easily fill
led. But alas he has gone. We shall no more
see his fine, manly form, or behold his kind low
ing face, lit up with smiles ofheavenly kindness
But l would say to his bereaved widow and
mourning children, not to grieve for him, for it
is our consolation to believe that although dead
to u.s. yet he is living STILL and that his pure dis
embodied spirit has been waited to the bright
realms ofeternal glory. We believe that he has
entered the New Jerusalem, the "beautiful city,"
and that he is now clothed with shining robe
and crown of glory on his head, and in those
bright realms of bliss, in the presence of the
Great Jehovah, he, in concert with legions OF
bright saints and angels, will sing sweet anthems
of praise to his Holy Redeemer in world of hap
piness and glory forever more. Let us try to
meet him ''ovcr there"
