pertinent and earnest devotion to

church are hereby rendered Broth
or Ball for his earnest and jealous
work in our behalf, and for the
faithful manner in which he has dis
charged his duty as Pastor.
RESOLVED, That while we regre'
the departure of Bro. Ball from oul
midst, we commend him to oul
brethren everywhere as being ar
able expounder Of the truth, and il
every respect worthy Of their conf
dence, and that wherever he may
go and whatever shall be his for
tune, our love and prayers will fol
low him,
RESOLVED, That these resolution
be spread upon our minutes, AM
that the clerk be requested to fur
nish a copy to the Southern SENT
mel, Ripley Advertiser and Baptls
Record for publication. Done il

the hope that he may be long ypal
