Resolution.
The following resolution has been
prepared by order of the Quarterly
Official Board of the James Street church
at its regular meeting on Feb. 10th,
1898
Resolved that the members of this Quart-
erly Official Board desire to place on record
their deep sense of the loss sustained by the
death of Bro: Richard Pickard, and also
their high appreciation of his many sterling
qualities.
Bro, Pickard was conyerted to Goll
through the instrumentality of this church
and, at once became an active member of
its ranks, and very soon took a useful place'
among its ranks. He has long held the of
Ace of stew ardand trustee. In these and
other positions, his influence foe good was
very marked.
His words were few, pointed and influen-
tial. His attitude,was etrer kind and tend-
ing . to peace, His contributions to' the',
church funds were free and generous. The.
needy found in him a ready friend. As a
citizen he was highly ,esteemed. As a
btainess'man the community had Confidence
in his integrity.
We hereby extend to Mrs. Pickard, and
family our sympathy in their bereave-
ment. Their loss was sudden and heavy,
but they cah rejoice in the assurance `'that
their loss' was to the departed a welcome',
a " Weil done " and a " Crown for lite."
