Camden, N. J.
To the Presiding Elder and Members of the Quarterly Conference of Macedonia A. M. E. Church:
Whereas, The New Jersey Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church will hold its annual session at Trenton April 20; and
Whereas, Another year’s faithful service of our pastor, Rev. A. H. Newton, will expire; and
Whereas, His Christian deportment and liberal views, his gentlemanly and agreeable qualities have endeared him to us; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the Macedonia Quarterly Conference, do, for his two years of earnest labor in the upbuilding and finishing of our church and increasing our membership, tender him our heartiest thanks; and
Resolved, That in this he has our heartiest regard and the good wishes of the members of the Quarterly Conference, and we sincerely hope that his future may be as bright and prosperous as he may hope or desire, and we also pray that the Bishop may return him to us for another year.
