Resolutions offered and nnaniS
mouslv adopted BY Scooba baptist
Church upon the resignation Of her
venerable pastor, Rev. ]. III. Puck,
Of his own viii, in consequence Of
his advanced age, thus rendering
him unable from feebleness to per-
form the pastoral duties, as messen-
ger of Christ to this flock Of believ-
ers, trusting that amore active shep-
herd would better advance Gods di-
vine work insthis vineyard.
WHEREAS: God in His wonderful
works created all things-man in
His own image, breathing into him
an immorta! soul, and by eason Of
strength, he may live to be three
score years and ten, even four score
or more. With MANY, life has been
shortened. filed with sorrow and
tribulations; with others prolonged,
full OF usefulness for the Master and
exemplary work for the good and
benefit of mankind. Today our
hearts are made to feel regretfully
serious, by the rendering OF the re-
signation of our faithfully Beloved
pastor Rev. J.. IA. Buck, who has SO
zealously, so earnestly, SO dutifullY
and SO acceptably served US, the
Scooba Baptist congregation, in sor-
row and sunshine, in weakness and
strength, in adversely and prosperi-
ty, in fear and love, always with a
message from Him who gave His
life that we might be redeemed and
saved. For these many years Il e
has been our watchful shepherd,
ever ready to lead us in green pas
lures, beside the still waters, to an
immortal home where our souls
will be beautified and blessed
throughout eternal ages. While 10th
to accept, duty prompts us TO yield
to the request, as age with him has
almost ripened into the harvest, and
feebleness dethroned strength. Our
love and esteem for him will grow
none the less, our PRAYERS stronger
and more fervent for continued life
and a safely guarded passage, when
the numbered DAYS are no more, to
the shores of sweet deliyerance,
where the Divine Master will crown
him in starry robes of immortal
glory and welcome his soul in heav-
ems HONEYWELL done, thou good
and faithful servant; enter thou into
the JOYS of thy Lord"
Be it therefore Resolved, by Seoo-
ba Baptist Church: That we deeply
regret, from our long association as
pastor and congregation, to accept
the resignation of u beloved and
ALWAYS faithful pastor, Rev. j. ii.
Buck, who has served us for the
past --- wears without price, as
Christ served the people when on
earth. His time and means have
been given to aid in our weakness,
numerically and financially. Thro'
bis efforts and prayers, the house il
which the congregation worship was
erected and will ever be held in
grateful remembrance of his faith.
full and generous labors. May Goo
direct thisrcongFegation in selecting
his successor, and may they f1otc
his hands up as their shepherd and
pray that he may be as faithful and
lead them as long as his predecessor
has SO well done,
Be it further Resolved: That q
copy Of this preamble and resolu-
tons be entered upon the minutes
Of the church, and a copy be fur
nished to Bro. Buck.
