Whereas, In the providence of our
Heavenly Father our esteemed friend,
co-laborer and prekbyter, J. L. Dean, of
Opelika, has been removed by death
from our church and his earthly service;
we, as a Presbytery, deem it both
appropriate and due that some record
be made of our great esteem for Brother
Dean as a man, a noble Christian and
an earnest, faithful and efficient laborer
for the advancement of Christ's kingdom.
He loved his church with a devotion
that was life-long, and gave the
best of his Tare gifts and great energy
to her service. This great service extended
to every part of our beloved Zlon.
He was from time to time a member
and officer of each of our church courts,
from the session to the General Assemblv.
He was an active, earnest and

While tell these labors made him
known and esteemed throughout our
Church, hts personal worth and lovable
character were esteemed more as we
nporoach his own Presbytery, his own
town and his own church; and those
must love him most and appreciate him
highest who have had the great pleasure
of seeing and sharing his home and seeing
him as a friend, a father and a husband.
We. as a Prestovterv, commend his

Master, to all his brethren and conresbvters.
and we would commend his
bereaved family to the love and mercy,

We recommend that a copy of this
appreciation of Brother Dean be incorporated
in the iMinutes of this Presbytery,
a copy sent to the family and also
furnished to our Church papers.
