Whereas, God in His all wise Provi
dence has taken to himself Mr. I^orenzo
D. Lorenz, an elder for many years in
the Central Presbyterian church of
Washington, D. C., and
Whereas, In his death the session and
church have suffered a great loss,

That we record our high esteem and
affection for him as a man, as a citizen,
as an elder, and as a Christian.
Second, That we bear testimony to
y
THE PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SO
his sterling Christian character, his constant
courtesy, his generous friendship,
and his simple faith.
Third, That we witness to his fidelity
in the office of elder, and to his faithful
service as a member of the church.
Fourth, That we thank God for the
testimony of this noble life.
Fifth, That we extend to the family
the deep sympathy of the session and
the congregation.
Sixih, That these resolutions be spread

For the session:
James H. Taylor, Moderator.

ROY BROWN ESTES.
At Watkinsville, S. C.

DR. J. A. JAMES.
Dr. J. A. James was reared in Williamsburg
Countv from tinvhnnrt liavlnir
been born at Statesburg, S. C., in 1829,
and left an orphan while young. He
connected himself with the Presbyterian
church at an eany age. and was for
many years a ruling elder in Indiautown
church, which is one of . the oldest
churches in eastern South Carolina. In
1884 he removed to Cheraw, S. C., and
connected himself with the church tnere,
and was elected and installed an elder
in May, 1886, and for the rest of his life
was one of the strong spiritual forces
in the church. His devoted and skiiful
service rendered to the sick of the community
gave him an entrance into the
hearts and homes of the community to
a degree enjoyed by few. and his endiv
walk and faithful preaching of the Word
by both precept and example was the"
means of giving him a striking influence
in the community during the active years
of his life here for the physical and spiritual
good of the community.
With faith strong and hope undimmed,
after exceeding his "three score and ten,'
he crossed quietly over the River, Novemuer
23, 1908, to join his beloved wife
who nad preceeded him. His earnest and
pious example, his child-like faith, and
sunny character are missed by all his
associates.
Be it resolved, therefore, by the Session
of Cberaw Presbyterian church:
1. That in the death of Dr. J. A.
James, this church and this community
and the church at large, have suffered
a loss, which is keenly felt and which
will not easily be repaired.
2. That his example of loving service
to his fellow man and his God are
commended to those who remain, as
worthy of emulation.
3. That the sympathy of this Session
is extended to the oereaved family.
4. That a page in the Minute book
be inscribed to his memory.
5. That his memorial be published in
the Presbyterian of the South and Cheraw
Chronicle.
By order of Session.
