Why do you advocate or even think
we need the street names posted

short but very pleasant association our
pastor, Rev. +. b. Woodland.
Whereas, the intimate relation held
by our deceased pastor with the mem
beers of the board render il proper that
we place on record our appreciation Of
his service as pastor and his merit as
man.
Therefore be it resolved that while
we bow with humble submission to the
will of the most high we do not the less
mourn for our pastor who has been
called from labor to his reward.
Resolved, that in the death of Rev.
Woodland this church has lost a pastor
who was always active and jealous in
help the needy and distress of the

sci and fearless in actions, an honest
and upright man. whose virtues not only
endeared him to the members, but to the
community at large. "
Resolved that this board tender its
heartfelt sympathy to the behaved
family and brother of our deceased pas
tor in this their sad affection and that
we commend them to our heavenly faith
