Resol0ed. That we as a Church unite with
our Pastor and Society in requesting the Coun-
Gil of consolation to dissolve the relation as
Pastor between this church and Society. We
do this with reluctance and heartfelt sorrow,
that thus we are to be deprived of the servi-
ces of one whose ministrations have been
prominently faithful, fearless, kind, and
true. In his study, in the sanctuary, at the
bedside of the sick and dying. in the house of
mourning or of joy, in all positions he has
been among us the christian man and minis.

his praise being in all the churches. May the
Lord give him health and strength to resume,

WOMEN Who SUFFER. -The greatest suf-

F. Brinkeroff, of Highland, n Y, Mrs. Ed
ward MYERS, of Rondout, N. Y, and many
others. "Favorite Remedy purifies the
blood, invigorates the system, and fortifies it
against disease. All druggists have it.
