Inasmuch as it has pleased our heavenly Father in his unfathomable providences and all wise councils to afflict our Church and quarterly conference with the sudden death of our highly esteemed brother and co worker, Jacob W. Nease, of Union Class; therefore,
Resolved, 1. That we deeply mourn our sad affliction in his death, and feel that the Church has lost a firm friend, an able and useful worker, a safe counselor, and a strong financial aid.
2. That while we mourn his death we will humbly bow to the will of Him who doeth all things right, feeling that as Christians His will should be our will. And we will ardently pray that God may raise up one to fill his sphere of usefulness in our Church.
3. That as a church and quarterly conference we tender to Sister Nancy Nease, his bereaved wife, and to H. G. Nease, Sarah Yanker, and Lincoln Nease, his bereaved children, our heart felt sympathies in this their dark hour of affliction, and recommend them to cast their burdens on the Savior in whom the husband and father so often trusted during the many years of his Christian life.
4. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Religious Telescope for publication, and a copy of the same be presented to the family of our deceased brother.
