of our lives here, he has had his place
aud part.
He has buried our dead; oficiated at
our weddings and the baptism of our
children. In affiction lie has consoled
and comforted US and steadily pointed
Us TO the one great source Of hope and
trust for tue future He has shared in
our joys and wept with Us in our sor-
rows In the hearts of each one of us
his name will ever be entwined with
some of the tenderest recollectiOns of
our lives.
In the day of our country's peril,
some OF us remember him in the camp,
on the march, the campaign and on
the battlefield. Not many sermons he
preached, and few of his prayers we
heard then; but we knew they were
going up all the same, and it braced
the nerves when we knew that this
Gods servant was on our side. And
he came out Of the service with never
thought that while in it he had ever
forgotten that he lCqs God servant.
Here in Lancaster. his Gtc-lCorb has
been mostly done. Its results have
not been merely the building up and
maintenance of this visible church.
Its influence has radiated to the four
quarters OF the globe; and in the in
scrutable wisdom of Omnicient and
Almighty God may yet achieve in its
full trution the salvation of nations
yet unborn
Wherever he may go, our best wishes
aud earnest prayers for his highest sue
cess and happiness go with him. May
the good Father of US all ever have
him in His holy keeping, until he shall
come to his great fital re1cad.
Resolred, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records OF our church
and copy Of them presented to him.
