many iovable qualities of the departed.
Tbe following resolutions were read
by Mr.. George Tsy lor, the meeting clog
ing with prayer by Raw. Whittier:
Whereas, Ia the providence OF an all-
wise and merciiul God. the beloved pas
tor OF this church, Rev. 9. Il. Harris,
has been removed by death and the
earthly ties that 80 long and go firmly
bound him to the people to whom no
mnistered are severed: and the place
he so long filed as q shepherd OF this
flock, ga q leader in the Baptists OF
Southern California, AS representa-.
tive citizen OF this city and as friend
to oil the human kind, has been made
vacant; and.
Whereas, 1t is fitting that the First
Baptist church of the city OF Pasadena
should IN some official Way recognize the
-. value OF his labors as u paetor and his
= sterling qualities as Christian brother; (;
therefore,
Resolved, That while be bow in sor-
row beneath the efflction that has come
upon Us as O church and society, we ac-
knowledge the goodness and mercy OF
our Heavenly Father in all His ways
and humbly say, 'Thy will, 0 God, be
done."
Resolved, That in his death the
church has lost one who was ever anx.
ious for its welfare, who gave gladly all
that he had of time and strength and
means toward the building up OF the
church aud OF the kingdom OF God in
this place; and whose sympa,hies were
so broad that they included every good
work, every missionary and educational
enterprise connected with the Baptist
denomination in this and other lands
and that the Sunday school and Baptist
Young Peoples union, and all branches
OF our church life, share in the loss of
one who was faithful in the performance
OF every duty, and was equally inter
ested and helpful in them all
Resolved. That the faithful yet tender
way in which he preached the gospel of
Jesus Christ in all its simplicity and
power. will remain an inspiration to
those who heard him, and by his words,
no Ices than by his life and works, "he
being dead yet speaketh."
Resolved, That the sympathy of this
church and congregation be extended to
the borrowing wife and children and
that our prayers and we'll wishes for
their future happiness and prosperity
will follow them wherever they 60, and
that We hereby acknowledge the debt of
gratitude this church owes to her who
shared the labors, the anxieties and the
sacri6ces OF the loved one who is gone.
Resolved. That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes OF the church
and that copy be presented. to the
family OF our deceased brother and to
the Los Angeles Baptist association.
