Therefore, be it resolved,

humble submission to Him who is too
wise to err, too loying to be .; unkind.
2nd, That we wij eyer cherish the
memory of his unyielding adherence
to principle his unfliching courage in
the right, his exalted love of truth and
above all the beautiful graces and sub
lime virtues of his manly christian
character.
3rd, That his influence at Boomer
lives after him as an inspiration to ev
ery one that knew him, to a beautiful
christian life.
4th, That; we tender tp his relatives
in this hour of sore; bereavement our
warmest christian sympathies and com
mend them to the tender mercies of
Him who alone can bind up the brok?
en heart, .and who doeth . all things
well. ;-; ' v".
