In Memoriam [White]

RESOLUTIONS

PASSED AT A JOINT MEETING OF THE BOARDS OF THE PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION, SANITARIUM AND COLLEGE

Whereas, The Wise Dispenser of all human events has in his providence permitted the removal from our midst by death of our beloved brother, Eld. James White, whose arduous labors in connection with this work from its earliest commencement, to within a few days of his death, have contributed so largely to its development and present prosperity; therefore, IMJW 64.2

Resolved, That in this event our cause has lost one of its most successful and energetic upbuilders, one of its most faithful and ardent supporters, and a wise, sagacious and unselfish counsellor. IMJW 64.3

Resolved, That in the death of one who has been so largely instrumental in their organization and development, our various institutions have sustained a great and irreparable loss. IMJW 64.4

Resolved, That we recognize the special providence of God in having raised up Eld. White for the performance of a specific work, to which he was both by natural and acquired gifts peculiarly adapted; and while we mourn and deeply deplore his removal from the work with which his life has been so closely intertwined, we also recognize the far-seeing wisdom which has placed our institutions and the several branches of our cause upon a foundation so stable as to insure not only a continuance, but an increase of their present prosperity and usefulness. IMJW 64.5

Resolved, That in behalf of the several organizations which we represent, we hereby tender to the family of the deceased, and especially to his bereaved wife, who has been his companion, co-worker, and counsellor in all his labors, our sincere sympathy in this, their hour of deep affliction. IMJW 64.6
