At the monthly covenant meeting OF the
Baptist church Thursday evening. Dec. 9th,
the following resolutions were read and
adopted:
Whereas: We, as members of the First
Baptist church of Belfast, Me-, during the
past five years, have been under the minis
trations of the Rev. E. s. PhilbrOok, and
whereas he finds his call of duty to another
field of labor, having accepted the same,
and rendered his resignation as pastor OF
this church; therefore be it resolved:
First, That we recognize in him a faithful
and devoted servant OF the Lord Jesus
Christ. One who has fearleSSly proclaimed
the Truth, and given his best efforts for the
uplifting of humanity, and the good of this
community.
Second, AS a preacher, he has never fail
ed to be earnest in his efforts to proclaim
the Truth from the pulpit, to speak 1t IN
the home, or make it prominent in private
conversation, thus strengthening believers
in the church, winning the hearts and
affections in the family, and leading many
to Christ by his personal efforts.
Third, With pleasure and gratitude we
refer to our large increase in membership,
especially from our young people, ana par,
tlcularly to the earnest, faithful zeal o1
these, as a result of his untiring efforts
and a proof of his devoted, consecrated life
and OF Divine Approval.
| Fourth, While we have accepted his
resignation, have hidden him GOd-speed
and will earnestly pray for his success in his
new field of labor, yet we feel that in his
going the community losses loyal citizen
many OF our people warm personal friend
and the Church most earnest consecrateC
| pastor.
| Fifth, We recommend that a copy of the
above resolutions be published in The Re
publican Journal, lions Advocate, anc
| spread upon the records of the church
That copies be given to the retiring pastor
| and be sent to the Sanford church, whose
| pastorate he now assumes.
For, and in behalf OF the First Baptis
