RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
At a called meeting of the vestry of St.
Pau's church. held yesterday, the following
was adopted:
it Is seldom that one man signifies so
much for SO many years TO church aud
community as Joseph K. Anderson signi-
fed for nearly half a century 10 the city or
Richmond and 10 st. Paul's church.
Ills lie was, all in all, so many sided,
well rounded. influential and successful.
Though its full pOrtralture may better bent
another occasion. yet our holy religion re-
CARDS every earthly duty we'll discharged.
every earthly station wOrthily filled as part
aud parcel Of the service and the Kingdom
Of God
We cannot. therefore. fairly express the
weight OF such man as General Anderson,
as a member of the Church of Christ, with
out noting that. in every department OF
h0n0rable human activity. in business, IN
politics. in other matters of general and
public interest IN the formation and eleya-
ton Of public opinion and in sOciety-not
less than In the Chnrch-he was for more
than generation. not only leader, but, 1t
is perhaps not improper 10 say, the Leading
citizen of this community. BY his energy,
hls sagacity, his tact, his public spirit, his
llerality, his rightmindedness his kindly,
c0urtlv bearing. his perfect temper, his ten
der afectionate heart he built for himself
place and welded among US an influence
10 which no one IS likely to succeed
But his richest lie, after all. was IN his
home aud his church. As the head or
large circle ot children and grandchildren.
10 man was ever more loyab!e or more e.
yered and beloved He loved the Church
OF God, too with devoted and unWeaIy-
ius election. ever planning. working, CIV
ing with a loyalty and a liberallty that
knew no limit save the Churchs need. Ills
rector always found him a friend full OF
sympathy. both IN his work and IN MS
trials. and this vestry recognized IN HIM us
III 70 faithful member and its wisest coun-
seAor When we recall oil this what he
was and what he did and then realize that
