Rev. James Barrett.
The Baptist Church, Round Lick, Wilson county, Tenn., unanimously
adopted the following resolutions, prepared by J. Organ, D. Young, J. S.
Womack and J. W. Bryan, on the resignation of the beloved pastor, Bro.
Jas. Barrett, May 25th, on account of protracted illness:
1st. Resolved that it is with deep regret that we part with the pastoral
services of our brother; endeared to us by a faithful and successful
ministry of nearly four years, and whose labors were characterized by
piety, diligence, fidelity, sympathy and tenderness, resulting in much
good to our church and community.
2d.  That in parting from us, he and his family, bear with them the
confidence, love and affection of this church.
3d.  That we commend him and his family to the favor, care and
protection of Almighty God, whose favor is life, and whose loving
kindness is better than life.
4th.  That we pray that the great Head of the church (if consistent with
His will) may soon restore our afflicted and much beloved brother to
health, that his pious and efficient labors may be long retained in the
world.
