Whereas the late Secretary of this Sabbath School Isaac Fleming, has been called by Providence to take his position among the noble defenders of our beloved country on the battle field - there to fight for our peace and protection, and we hope for the establishment of liberty throughout all the land, it is Resolved. That we, the teachers of this school, take much pleasure in recording our high appreciation of the earnest zeal and interest he manifested in the welfare of the school - his quick efficient and mastintations fulfillment of all his duties and his marked punctuality, obliging manners and (humanity) of department at all times. Trained as he has been by Godly parents and identified with the church and school from his infancy, we looked forward with high hopes to his successful career in some other department of life, but God has for the present called him to sterner and more fearful duties, and in his present position he has our hearty sympathy, and shall continue to have our prayers for his safety and souls welfare, trusting that the sweet lessons of Christ's love learned here in more peaceful days, may now by Gods grace keep him from the evils of camp life, solace his heart and stimulate him when called on to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ and move him to deeds of valor, that none but a Christian dare perform.
