RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to remove

from our midst our beloved pastor and brother, Rev. C. M. Rollins,

Rolesville Baptist Church and community have sustained an

irreparable loss.

Therefore be it resolved:

1. That we will bow in humble submission to God's will,

knowing that our loss is his eternal gain.

2. That while we miss his pleasant face and helpful

sermons, we must say, Thy will, not ours, be done.

3. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the

Biblical Recorder, one to his family, and one

be put on our church record.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

We, the members of the Students' Ministerial Class of Wake

Forest College, desire in this way publicly to express a sense

of our loss in the recent sudden death of Crawford M. Rollins.

He was pure and lovely in his life, gentle in his manners,

on terms of good fellowship with all, sympathetic, a big brother

to the weak, and sharing the joys of the strong; respecting

others and respected of them; in all things manifesting the

Spirit of his Lord and Saviour.

We shall always cherish his memory since his life and con­

versation were such as to quicken others to higher thinking and

holier living, while to his younger brothers in the ministry he

was always warmhearted and helpful.

To his wife and daughter, father and mother, and other

relatives, we extend our sympathy.

RAYMOND LONG, C. E. BAKER J.B. BLANKS.

. We were grieved to learn last week that Rev. c. N. Rollins,

a ministerial student at Wake Forest who had been seriously in­

jured in an automobile wreck, hed died at Rex Hospital a short

time after the accident. Crossing the railroad track in his car

he failed to see an approaching fast train on the Seaboard and

was struck by it. Professor Paschal advises us that Brother

Rollins was one of the most popular students at Wake Forest. He

was pastor of several churches and all of them were devoted to

him. He leaves a wife and one daughter.
