RESOLUTIONS OF
THANKS ADOPTED

AT a business meeting of the MEM
bers of the Union Baptist church last
evening the following resolutions, re-
garding the resignation of the pastor,
Rev. Frank A. Tolman, were unani-
mously accepted:
Whereas our beloved pastor.
Frank S. Tolman. has rendered his
resignation to the Union Baptist
church of st. Johnsbury.
'aTherefore: Be it resolved, That
though with deep sorrow and regret
we realize our loss, yet as a church
organization we would express our
enthusiastic gratitude to our pastor
for the gift of eight Q fthe best years
of his life to the service of this
church and it's constituency.
,"Be it resolved, That we as a
church. tender our sincere thanks to
him for his very able and parlia-
nentary management effecting the
union of the Free Baptist with this
church, whereby a great and lasting
benefit was secured to the church
and its people.
Re it resolved, That the thanks of
this church and its people, also the
people of the town be heartily ten
dered Dr. Tolman and his family fol.
their splendid zeal exercised during
the past eight years for the better
1nent of conditions in ST. Johnsbury
Through the endeavors of DR.. Toll
man and his family we are today in
the fuller enjoyment of the best
things of life..
BE it resolved, That we state our
appreciation of our pastors work
among the young people, helping
them to attain unto the best and
highest ideals. His influence has
been more comprehensive and far
spreading. even more permanent than
we can at this time fully compre-
bend.
One who never turned his back, but
marched breast forward.
Never doubted clouds would break;
Never dreamed though right were
worsted, wrong would triumph;
Held that we fall to rise, are baffled
to fight better.
"Be it further resolved, That we
show our appreciation of his efforts
by rendering him, with our sincere
thanks for his faithful work among
u.s. our hearty good wishes and best
hopes, for his, success in his new field
of endeavor. Our loss is their gain:
'.And. if. through patient toll we
reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose
may rest,
When we. shall clearly know and un-
> derstand,
I think that we will say God knew
= the best.
sAs tribute of affection we ten
der these resolutions to our pastor
and his family"
