Resolutions adopted by the First Baptist
Church, July 18, 1918:
Whereas, our pastor, Rev. j. Wilbor
Richardson, has decided after prayerful
and careful consideration that it is best
for him to move to another State and has
rendered his resignation as pastor of this
church: therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the
First Baptist Church, Belfast, deeply re-
gret the parting of our ways and tender
to him our most hearty good wishes and
assure him of our loving interest in his
future work We feel that in his going
the church loses preacher of excep-
itonal ability and eloquence, a man of
rare courtesy, upright in all his ways, a
Christian gentleman.
We are thankful to our Heavenly Father
for the additions to our church member
ship and for all the blessings which we
have received during Brother Richard
sons pastorate
We bid both Mr. and Mrs. Richardson
God-speed and pray earnestly that God
will bless them abundantly, that they
may soon find a new home, dear friends
and place of large service.
