That we bow in submission to him who doeth all things well. { Secpnd. That in the hour of trial < we tender to Mrs. Ehrhardt and other j members of the family our heartfelt j sympathy. , Third. That we will ever cherish the memory of his strong personality, 1 faith, church love and loyalty. < Fourth. That we commend his j unwavering service; his close attendance to all church service; his liber- 1 ality toward every call of the church ] for home and abroad; his deep interest and work in the Sunday-school, ( as a most noble example to the young . of our pastorate. ;; Fifth. That these resolutions be; spread upon our minutes, and that | copies be sent to the Lutheran Church . Visitor, The Bamberg Herald, and the Bamberg County Times for publi-; cation. i, P. E.
