Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Death of the Late George W. Bethune, D.D: Preached in the Third Reformed Dutch Church, Philadelphia, on Sabbath Evening, May 25, 1862
Resolved, That we regard the decease of this eminent servant of God as a public calamity to the Church and the country, both of which he adorned and served with all the vigor of his ripened talents, with the riches of accomplished scholarship, and with the devotion of a truly noble soul.
Resolved, That as a church and congregation, we will ever cherish his me mory as our first pastor, who for twelve years ministered to us in holy things; celebrated for his pulpit eloquence, his pastoral tenderness, his social virtues, and his pious adherence to the good old ways, which he loved to preach, which he defended with unusual ability, and on which he rested his own hope of salvation in life and in death.
Resolved, That in token of our reverence for his worth and services, we hereby request our pastor, the Rev. Dr. Taylor, to prepare and preach a com memorative discourse, at his earliest convenience.
