at a meeting Of the Congregational
church and society Of Staffordville, held
Tuesday evening, the following resolu-
lions were adopted:
Resolved, That we, as church and
congregation, deeply regret that our pas
tor, Rev. James A. Solandt, has felt it
his duty to resign his PASTORAL care over
this church. II it were right, we, as a
people, would enter a decided protest
against the action of our brother, but
prayerful consideration seems to have de-
cided him In his determination.
Resolved, That in his going out from
US, we feel that we lose an able preacher,
an earnest worker, a devoted and faithful
friend In the homes Of the sick and affliet-
ed, and a beloved and honored citizen,
| who for seven years has given himself
to deeds of love and usefulness In our
midst.
Resolved, That 1t is the united voice of
this church and society that he has &C
complished great work among us, and
| we recommend him to churches of our
common Lord and Master as a faithful
leader and a skillful teacher in the bless
ed truths of the Gospel of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
