Resolutions.

Resolutions of respect By the First
Baptist church concerning Rev.
Howard II. Gilchrist, recently de-
ceased.
Whereas, God in his providence
has seen fit to remove from this life
our beloved brother, Rev. H. H.
Gilchrist, we, his brothreu, in fellow,
ship of the First Baptist Church of
Meade, while we humbly bow to our
Fathers will, join with his family in
mourning their loss.
We know that by his death his
church has lost an earnest and con-
scientious worker and the unsaved
faithful friend, but we rejoice in
the knowledge of his faith and trust
in the Saviour and in the assurance
that he has been received into that
heavenly mansion prepared by our
Lord for those who are faithful to
the end. NJ. e. READ,
