Whereas, we have heard with deep
est sorrow of the sudden, accidental
and tragic death of our well-beloved
brother. Rev. Jacob Sallade, ID. d., at
Tiago. Pa, on Monday, July II, 1910.
and whereas, this, his old mother
church. desires to put on record an ex-
preston of her affection and admlra-
ton for Bro. Salade, and her deep and
heartfelt sorrow on account of his I'M
timely death, and also to express our
sincerest sympathy with his bereaved
widow and stricken children, therefore
be il resolved,
First. That while we are deeply af-
flicted by the sudden and tragic death
of our beloved brother, without muir
muring word we bow in sorrow sub
missively to the will and providence OF
that wise and good God who has told
us "What do thou knowest not now,
but thou shalt know hereafter. In
grief, yet in hope and patience, we
wait for a revelation of the mysterious
providence which has taken our brother
from us and called him to his heavenly
reward while yet in the prime OF his
manhood and in the midst of his great
est usefulness.
Second, That this church, in which
he was reared and into whose fellow
ship he was baptized Nov. %, 1885,
when he was only l4years old, has since
that time watched with pleasure and
pride his successful career and has fol-
lowed him with her prayers, sympathy
and love as she has seen him steadily
rise step by step to greater usefulness,
influence and prominence in the Baptist
denomination, in both the North and
the South.
Third, That we who have known his
manner of life from his youth com
mend the life and example of Bro.
Sallade to our young men for their iml-
tation and inspiration. Such a useful
and successful life can but be, when
properly viewed, powerful stimulus
and incentive to other young men when
they see what he, by industry, appllca-
ton and conservation, accomplished IN
his short lifetime.
"Such useful life reminds US
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind US
Footprints on the sands of time.
Fourth. That we hereby tender to the
afflicted parents our sincere sympathy
and coincidence in the loss Of so noble a
son. and we commend the grief-stricken
widow and orphan child 10 the tender
mercies of the compassionate God who
has said, Leave thy fatherless, | will
preserve them, and let thy widows
trust in me-" May the Father of all
mercies, and the God of all comfort.
who comforteth us in all our trouble, ~
be more than husband to the widow
and more than father to the father
less child, while he tenderly cares for
them and sustains them by his grace.
Fifth, That this memorial paper be
spread on our minute book, and that
the clerk be instructed to forward to
the family of our deceased brother a
certified copy of the same, and that
another copy be furnished the local pa
pers and the Baptist Commonwealth
and they be requested to publish the
