lect made the air mild and genial about them. That their 

 tactful wisdom and eloquence with unflagging zeal and faith 

 carried an influence of rare power among their many friends. 



Resolved — That their memory is deeply engraved on 

 the hearts of many who have shared in deep sorrow and 

 have been partakers of their ministrations and love. That 

 their death has caused a void, which many years of patient 

 waiting will find unfilled. 



Resolved — That we extend our sympathy to their re- 

 spective families in this hour of their affliction and grief.

OF REV. O. S. BUTLER. 



He has gone from our midst and we miss him, 



He was ever a counselor true, 

 Ready to give of his service 



Whatever was needed to do. 



His cheer and his hearty rejoinder 



Won friends to him everywhere, 

 And many the homes that delighted 



With him their best comfort to share. 



He sorrowed with those who were mourning, — 



His tenderness, who can forget? 

 Ah ! many a heart that is aching 



Will long for his sympathy yet. 



His trust and his faith let us cherish 



For it entered within the veil, 

 And God who is ruler forever 

 Will never his children fail.
