Courier for publication.
Whereas, for the past four years
Rev. T. l.. Smith has served the Wal
halla Baptist church as pastor; and,
| whereas. by his efficient, faithful, de-
voted, earnest and consecrated SER
vice he has rightly won our esteem
and love, and has led many Of our
| members to a more consecrated work
for the Master; and, whereas, he has
given us notice that he must resign
his pastorate here for the purpose of
pursuing course Of study in the
Baptist Seminary at Louisville, KY;
| and, whereas, we desire to give some
| expression Of our appreciation Of the
consecrated work done by him since
his connection with us as pastor:
Now, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Walhalla Bap-
tist church views the departure Of
| Bro. Smith with genuine sorrow and
| regret, and we trust that he may do
| as much good in other fields as he
has done here, and our prayer to the
God who sent him to us is that he
may be- able to bless other fields as
he has blessed US, and that God may
open other fields of usefulness to him
and his consecrated wife, and bless
his work with an abundance of sue
cess to the glory of the Master whom
he so consecratedly serves.
Resolved, further, That a copy Of
these resolutions be furnished to
Bro. Smith and published in the
county paper here and the Baptist
| Courier
