 The Rector, Wardens, and Vestry of Grace Church, Stafford Springs, Connecticut; meeting on Saturday, October IA. 1922, desire to record a memorial to Frank Louis Smith, M. D., a COmmunieant and Vestryman of Grace Church. Whereas it has pleased God to take out of this world the soul of our de- ceased brother, Frank Louis Smith; we recommend him to the mercy of God, and we pray that in their be- reavement, his family may have the consolation and Presence of the Holy Spirit. We desire to record our ap- preciation of his many years of faith ful service to our Church, especially during the early history of our Parish, and to express our conviction that our present assured position in this community is due in part to his self sacrificing aid and the personal in fiuence of his life.
 Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes, and that a copy be sent to Alice Jane Smith, his wife, the Connecticut Churchman, and the Stafford Press.
