the beloved wife of Mr. A. B. Shirley.
In her death a great loan has been sus

in her daily life, adorned tho doctrine
of our Saviour. As a member she was
exceptionally diligent, continuing
faithful to her work until stricken
down. Her life was indeed a noble
one. She bore with all patience her
ailliction. never murmuring, and an
unwavering faith in the Son of God
and His promises truly robbed" death
of its sting and the grave of-its victory.
Whereas, it has pleased God in Hib
infinite wisdom to remove from our
midst an esteemed member. 1 here
fore, he it .
Resolved, That we bear testimony to
her faithfulness as a member of our
Society, to her zeal * >r the welfare of
the Church and to her Christian char
ity.
That we extend onr heartfelt sympa
thy to the bereaved family in the hour
of their affliction.
That these resolutions be entered in
onr minutes and be published in the
Baptist Courier and Tho Intelligencer,
