The unlocked for death Of our late beloved YES
trynian, Richard J. Cuttings, who for n years has
been identified with this vestry and has been in
TERED o-day, 10 the occasion Of this meeting.
While We bow in humble submission 90 the will Of
Him who doeth all things well, We cannot but ex-
press our deep grief a, the irreparabie loss sus-
tanned by us. In the faithful discharge of his
duties no yestryman, known 10 those 80 long as
socAted with him, his record shows tha, he was
instan; in and out Of season, always at the
post Of duty and ever foremost in every good word
and work.
Re.oirsd That In the death Of our feiiow.ves-
trymsn Richard J. Gittings, who for seventeen
years has been associated with Us, this vcstry has
sustained loss that they know not how 10 re-
place. His ripe judgment and just appreciation
Of what IL due from one 20 another has guided us
in many intricate paths. while his high legal at
tainments added force To his suggestions. To all
this We may add that his purity Of character and
many Christian virtues endcared him TO us socially
while We bow IN submission 60 the will Of iuscru-
table Providence, We cannot but express our grief
that he whom much loved has been taken
from us.
Rssoirsd. That this vestry tender TO the family
Of the deceased their deep sympathy In their be-
reavement, and commend them 20 him who careth
for them and giveth the assurance that they are
not 10 mourn as those without hope.
