Mr. Editor:--By order of Presbytery
I send you the following preamble and resolutions for publication:
Whereas, the Charlotte Presbytery has heard with deep regret of the death of our much loved brother, the Rev. Robert U. Dunlap, a young and promising member; one who, by this amiable temper and sweetness of disposition, won the esteem of all with whom he became acquainted; who, by his noble and unflinching Christian bearing, stood forth a living epistle of our holy religion, known and read of all men; an example of fortitude and consecration to his office; while borne down with other and perplexing cares, he never forgot that he was an embassador for God, and his real care as for the souls of his fellow-men.
Resolved, Therefore, that in the death of Brother Dunlap, the Charlotte Presbytery has sustained a severe and irreparable loss, which, while we deeply deplore, we must refer to that kind Providence that rules always all things well to them that love him.
Resolved, That this Presbytery offers its sincere condolence to the bereaved mother and family of our departed brother.
Resolved, That this preamble and these resolutions be spread upon the Minutes of the Presbytery, and that a copy of the same be transmitted to the mother of Brother Dunlap.
A. N. Larkins,
A.
C. Stockard,
Thos. McNeily.
Resolved, That the Presbytery request Rev. A. N. Larkins to prepare a memoir of the Rev. Robert U. Dunlap, for the use and benefit of the Presbytery, as soon as the nature of the case will permit.
A.
A. Wilson, S.C.
