Martindale and the Newnan Presbyterian church having lieen dissolved by Atlanta Presbytery in order that he may remove to another Held of lal>or, the congregation he has served so faithfully for six years, adopts the following resolutions commendatory of his work among this people and expressive of sin cere regret at parting: First: We commend the fidelity of character and earnestness of ef fort, as well as the Godly wisdom and understanding, which have characterized Bro.Martindalc’s ad ministration of the office of under- shepherd of this flock. We feel that at all times his has been a la bor of love in the Master’s vino- yard, and that he has rendered, with commenduhic unselfishness and humbleness of spirit, his best service to every interest of this church, to our great denomina tional causes and to the upbuild ing of the Lord’s kingdom in this city and section of country. As a consecrated and able expounder of the word of God, his efforts have vastly benefltted this congregation and all others who have listened to his scholarly discourses and earnest and loving appeals for the highest type of Ghristian living We con fidently believe the fruits of his unselfish efforts among us will be manifested in years to come in the quickened and uplifted lives of men and women who have enjoyed the privileges of his ministry in this church. •Second: We especiallj appre ciate the efforts of Bro. .Martindale as the leader in the movement which resulted in improving and beautifying our eliurch building; making it one of the most attrac tive houses of worship in this Presbytery. In furthering this work liis counsel, suggestions and labors were largely instrumental in carrying the undertaking to complete success. Third: As he goes from us to li is new field of labor, we feel that his removal is a distinct loss to this church and to Christian ministry ami influences in this city; and we part from him with inexpressible regret; but, believing the hand of the Lord is leading our brother in the path of duty, we bid him go from us—praying God’s richest blessings upon him, upon his fam ily, and upon all his interests and efforts. May our God abundantly reward his labors in a new and promising field and crown his ef forts with approval and success, as he delivers the gospel message for the edification of saints and the salvation of sinners. Fourth: We commend Bro. Martindale and his family to the love and tender care of the con gregation of the Presbyterian church at Courtland, Alabama; knowing the saints there will find in him, its have the Presbyterians of this city, a strong, able, conse crated preacher, a loving and helpful under-shepherd of the flock, and a considerate and faith ful friend. .1.
