d-Wii. .vour committee appoint

upon the death, and to the
memory of Brother Furman T.
Williams.
“We beg leave to submit the
following resolutions.
Resolved Ist. “That God in
his Infinite wisdom has seen fit
to take from our midst by the
hand of death, our dearly be
loved brother and pastor, Fur
man T. Williams, which we can
not understand why it is so, but
we have learned that God
moves in a mysterious way his
wonders to perform.
Resolved 2nd. “That while
we mourn; on account of his
death and departure from us
and this life, we feel that our
heads should bow in humble
submission to the will of him
that knows best, and doeth all
-things well.
Resolved 3rd. “That we the
members of -the Bapist Church
at Roswell, feel and realize our
condition,' that we are without
a keeper, a shepherd has been
taken from the watch, and the
Flock left to wander but we
hope and feel that our loss is
his eternal gain.
Resolved 4th. “That we ex
tend our sympathy and condol
ence to the bereaved widow
caused by this act of providence
in the death of her husband and
loved one, we pray that she
may look to God for protection,
ever keeping in mind his prom
ises to his children, we hope
and pray that she may be en
abled to look beyond this cloud
of -grief -and sorrow, and in
thebght and spiert view the
bright beyond, where friends
do-not part and congregations
do-not adjourn.
“We recommend that these
resolutions be spread upon our
church minutes, and also upon
our record book.
“We also recommend that
these resolutions be printed in
the Milton County Papers, and
also in the Forsyth County Pa
per.
“We also recommend that a
copy of these resolutions be
placed in the possession of the
widow of the deceased Brother.
