"Resolved, that we recognize ia him the tjrue friend, a faithful and fearlea minister of Christ, whose labors have been blest of the Lord in our midst In the conversion of many aoula now rejoicing in the Saviour's love. "Resolved, that our prayers and the warmest sympathies of our hearts go with him where be may be called to labor In the vineyard of our Lord, and that, in parting, extend to him tho hand of bletsing bidding him God-speed, praying that the presence of the Holy Spirit may be ever with him, crowning his labors with the conversion of many eouIs, who shall appear as stars in the crown of his rejoicing, when the Lord shall make up his jewels.
