Resolutions af Respect.

Whereas: We have learned of the sudden death of Bro. John Conley who was a devoted Chris tian, and has been a member of our Sunday School for some time and always has been present when possible for him to be. He always had a kind and encour- aging word for the children when he met them; and when he could not attend Sunday School he would feel so interest ed in the children's advancement in the heavenly kingdom, he Wolud inquire of those whom he met about our progress.
 And while we feel that his presence shall be missed by all who knew him, we cannot help but think that he has gone to that heavenly home where sor- TOW, pain and temptation is not known. For the Lord has prom ised to take care of His children.
 To his dear old mother, broth CTS and sisters we send our sym Dathy and hope and pray that each of you may so live in this life that you may meet dear Bro- John in that heavenly home where all may live forever and forever.
 Therefore be it resolved: by this, the South Methodist Sun- day School, that acopy of the a. bove be spread on the minutes and that a copy be sent to the family of Bro. John Conley.
