Southern Christian Advocate, August 18, 1870
Tribute of Respect

At a meeting of the Sunday-school at Union Springs, Meriwether co., Ga., May 
29th, 1870, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: 
WHEREAS, It has pleased our heavenly Father to remove from our midst our 
brother J. T. McLaughlin, one of the teachers of this school, we deem it but 
proper that we should give some stated impression of our sympathy for his 
bereaved family, and of the loss the Sabbath-school has sustained in the death 
of one of the most devoted teachers; therefore,
   Resolved 1. That in this sudden dispensation of Providence we are forcibly 
reminded of the uncertainty of life, the certainty of death and the judgment. 
   2. That in the death of J. T. McLaughlin, the Sabbath-school has lost one 
of the most earnest advocates and zealous supporters. 
   3. That we bow in humble submission to the will of our Father in heaven, 
believing that He is too wise to err and too good to do wrong. 
   4. That to the afflicted family we render our heartfelt sympathy in their 
sad bereavement, and would with humble confidence point them for consolation 
to the God of the fatherless and the widow. 
   5. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of the 
deceased, also for publication in the Southern Christian Advocate. 

                                                        DAVID PEAVY, Sup't
