WHEREAS, The Methodist Episco

have recently been bereaved by the
appalling tragedy that removed from
earth our illustrious and beloved
brother in Christ. William Mckinley.
President of the United States; there
fore, be it resolved by the West Vir-
gina Conference of the Methodist
church:
l. That in the tragic death of the
late President the Nation has lost one
OF the most patriotic, wise and sue
cessful Chief Magistrates it has ever
had; the civilized world one of the
most accomplished and gifted states
men, and the Methodist Episcopal
church distinguished lay member.
whose numerous virtues and pro-
found conservation to the divine SER
vice have brilliantly illustrated the
possibility of associating with the
most exalted civil life a lofty ideal of
thrlGf11n ahQraatnr
practice. His great and progressive
achlevements in craftsmanship and
diplomacy, combined with his sterl-
ing moral endowments. have won for
him the admiration and confidence of
many millions OF his countrymen, and
will render his name and fame i'm
mortal in American history.
,. That we tender to Mrs. Ida Sax
ton Mckinley our deepest sympathy
ana our earnest prayers for divine
support in her great bereavement.
May the precious recollections of her
husbands tender and affectionate de-
yotlon to her interests, his eminent
services to his country and the relig-
ious sublimity of his death be to her
a fountain OF comfort until she shall
go to be with him forever.
D. 40 mcIHOulsb episcopal pastors
we regard it as both a duty and priv
ilege to be loyal to the President of
the United States, Theodore Roose-
welt, called suddenly and under pain
full circumstances to the duties and
responsibilities of the Chief Magis-
tracy of the Republic. We appreci-
ate his high Christian character and
the magnificent record he has made
in civil and military life. We de-
voutly pray that God may so endow
him with wisdom that his admins
tration may be a great blessing to all
parts of the national territory.
4. That the secretary of this Con-
ference be and he is hereby instructed
to transmit copies of these resolutions
to Mrs. Mckinley and the President.
