RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas, our Heavenly Father saw
At to remove from our midst our
brother, G. B. Abercrombie, on the 22d
day of November, 1912, therefore we.
the members OF the Bible class of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South. OF
Bryan, desire to express our sympathy
to his family in their great loss and
deep affliction. In the death OF
Brother Abercrombie his family lost
a good and true father and a faithful
and devoted husband, the community
lost an honorable and upright citizen,
and the business world an honest and
capable man who was always true to
the trusts reposed in him. Brother
Abercrombie's love of truth and integ-
rity OF character made him a valuable
member of society. The world was
made better by his earnest, straight
forward, manly life.
Resolved, That a copy OF these reso-
lutions be recorded in the minutes OF
the Sunday school, copy be delivered
to his family, and copy be sent to
