Rev. T.W. Pendergrass offered a
preamble and resolution expressive of the feelings of Presbytery
in reference to the death of Rev. Wm. H. Guthrie, which was unanimously
adopted, and is the following:
Whereas, Since the
last meeting of this Presbytery one of our members, Rev. W.H.
Guthrie, has been summoned from his labors to his reward in heaven,
Resolved 1. That his death being sudden and consequently
unexpected, is an enforcement of the admonition, "Be ye also
ready."
2. That his removal from his ____
field of labor, should be regarded by the congregations which
expected his labors as suggestive of a careful inquity as to the
design of Providence in the removal of their under Shepherd; and
should be viewed as a loud call to humiliation and prayer on their
part and that of the Presbytery
3. That we hereby
tender our fraternal sympathy to his bereaved consort and children,
commending to the care of a faithful and covenant keeping God.
4. That as an expression of our esteem of his counsel
as a Presbyter, and his devotion to his sacred calling, a funeral
sermon be delivered to-day by Rev. J.N. Edmiston at 11 oclock
A.M.
