tails concerned, and to weigh all
logical alternatives which no doubt
would have been productive OF less
embarrassment to the young clergy
man and, too, the probability of ap-
prehension of the culpable party in-
yolved.
And whereas, the Rev. Mr.. Isaacs
so unfortunate as to be accused Of a
crime by spirit which was neither
free from, nor undisturbed by the
ouickening Of emotion, and the re-
fraction Of the truth, and the lack OF
sober thought that caused his speedy
detention by the authorities, and also
the accused OF a crime of which he
was proven not to be guilty, yet
which made It possible for him to
be bestowed and showered With dam
aging and distasteful epithets, and
bring into commission the undeserved
retribution Of an evil that would
make moral wound that the balm Of
time could not heal permanently, and
which personal indignation and out
bursts Of anger could never wholly
alleviate, obliterate or obscure.
And whereas. the Rev. Mr.. lsaacs
Is a graduate Of both the college and
seminary departments of our insti-
tuition, Lincoln University. an insti-
tuition that for over a half century
has been engaged in the lofty endeav-
or of moulding and shaping Christian
character, and which has always
sought TO maintain an environment
that fosters the best and noblest de-
velopment Of moral qualities mingled
with incentives for scholarship.
And whereas, the Rev. Mr.. Isaacs was
an heir TO these blessings and sur
roundings, and deported himself as
man of jeweled honesty, singleness
of purpose, loyalty and an irreproach-
able integrity,
We. his associates, friends and
I former schoOl-mates and members Of
the theological department Of Lincoln
University, have met with the spirit
Of brotherly love, and out Of our pro-
found respect for our comrade; and
have unanimously agreed out of the
purity for our motive and loftiness Of
purpose to offer the following Teso-
lutions

the strongest confidence in the hon
esty and integrity of the Rev. Mr..
lsaacs, pastor Of the Gilbert Presby-
terian Church. Wilmington, Del.
3 Resolved. That the civil au-
thorities found no fault in him and
completely established his innocence:
the same vindicates the spotlessnesa
Of his character as an honest man.
3. Resolved. That we have not
the least doubt as to his innocence,
and we accept the decision of the civil
authorities as an undeniable and un-
disputed attestation of his blameless
character.
4. Resolved. That we feel his
misfortunes keenly and deeply SYM
pathize with him for the unjust
humiliation TO which he has been sub
iected
3. Resolved. That we rejoice in
his acquittal.
