A RESOLUTION

We, the Session of Third Church, joined by the other officers and members
alike, wish to pay our tribute of love and respect to the memory of Elder
James
B. Hunter who God, in His all-wise Providence, called from the field of
Time to
his eternal reward October 31, 1954.

WHEREAS, Jim for twenty-seven years a member of our fellowship throough
keen interest and desiring to serve as serve he did during crucial periods
in the life of Third church and faithfully representing our church and
session in
Presbytery, Synod and Presbyterian men's Council with genuine devotion so
endearing himself as to earn the honor and respect of all, and

WHEREAS, his death has brought to us a deeper appreciation of his untiring
service and the sense of loss of a genial conscientious church man and a loyal
friend, and

WHEREAS, words prove so feeble an expression of the sympathy we extend to
Mrs. Hunter and her family in their loss of a devoted husband and loving
father, we commend them to our Father that in His Wisdom and Mercy He may
bring them comfort and peace, Therefore, be it resolved

THAT, in the death of James Hunter, Third Church has lost one of god's
noblemen and an humble Christian servant.  And be it further resolved

THAT, these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of Session of the church
and a copy of said resolutions be forwarded to Mrs. Hunter.
