The following resolutions were
adopted and forwarded to Messrs. Chapman
and Alexander: The Presbyterian
Ministers' Association of Richmond, Manchester,
and vicinity take pleasure in expressing
their high appreciation of the
series of meetings held in our city from
January 6-24, 1909, by Messrs. Chapman
and Alexander and their assistants. In
the services conducted by these brethren,
" and attended by thousands of our people,
the truth of the Holy Scriptures was
magnified, the Gospel of the crtffcified
Savior was proclaimed in simplicity and
power, the Holy Spirit was honored, the
ministry was exalted, and the Church of
God was mightily presented before the
community and greatly strengthened.
We feel that untold good has come to our
city in the salvation of the ungodly, in
the confirmation of saints, in the elevation
of the tone of piety, in the quickening
of moral sentiment, in the demonstration
r?f tnp nrnpHpnl nnitv nf hnliowm-o
in Christ, and the development of the latent
energies of the Church. God has
heard the prayers of his people and
blessed their united efforts under the
leadership of his honored servants who
came to us in the love of the Spirit and
wrought so industriously for our
spiritual welfare. We believe that
their labors will prove to be a benediction
to any community, and we earnestly
invoke the blessing of God upon them as
they go everywhere preaching the Gospel
of his Son.
