governor, w. S. Hammond, in the
midst OF his usefulness, we, the
Welsh Christian Endeavor of the
state of Minnesota, in convention as

the spirit of humility and resigna-
ton, bow to the will OF our heaven
ly Father and the dispensations of
HIS all-WlSe providence:
and, as an expression of our ap-
probation of the life of our late gov
ernor, we unanimously adopt the fol-
lowing:
BE it resolved
"One-That we render thanks to
Almighty God for the work which
He enabled our late governor to ac-
cOmpliSh during his short term in
office, standing firmly for the right,
irrespective of political affiliations,
and despite the many influences, that
were at work urging him to do other
wise.
"TWo-That- we as state and Chris
tian people have sustained great
loss through his departure at this
time when needing his precious serv-
ice the most, and we were, as if be-
ginning to realize his great worth
"Three-That we, as Christian
workers in appreciation of his sup
port to moral and religious work
within the state, do express our deep
sympathy to his relatives, and that
we order that a copy of these Feso-
lutions be sent to his immediate rel.
atives, and moreover that we spread
these resolutions upon our official
record, and cause copy of the same
to be published in our daily and local
papers. in behalf of the convention,
Rev. John D. Jones, Ottawa.

Ambrose Davies, Minneapolis, COM
