In the Church. i'll our places of busi-

our SORROWS, in our triumphs and in
our diSappOintmentS, we have con-
stantly felt the ennobling influence Of
his presence, and of his counsel.
We shall miss him, but we commend
him to the confidence and love of those
for whom he shall labor in the future.
Therefore
Resolred, 1st. That it is with deepest
regret that this Church accepts the
resignation of DIR. Manly, and that in
leaving us. he carries with him the
deepest affection and good wishes of
the entire membership of this Church.
End. That we shall strive to remcm-
Der the lessons he has so beautifully
taught us. both in the pulpit and By
his daily example and life.

tist Courier. the S. G. Baptist. the An
