Skcoxd, That we will always cherish the many noble nualities of our friend Mack, feeling that his presence among us and his beautiful christian life have been an example that we can never forget. A ml while his memory will ever linger with us we will strive to follow in his footsteps with the hope that we will meet him in that heavenly liome where he is now at rest and happy in our .Saviour's love Ti*iki>, That we extend to his beloved mother and br- ners our heart felt sympathy with a copy of these resolutions trusting that tiod will draw very near them and comfort them in their bei reavement. e i.i.i K fit Aid, i l'l SCKNKV WAI.KI'I', .. . ? ... v... v ( ommittee.
