NEVADA/CALIFORWIA INTERSTATE — Missiowary BAPTIST CONVENTION ING. June 16, 2009 Resolution _. When one has given his life for a good cause, bestowing freely and unselfishly his talent, influence, and time for the betterment of the community in which he lives, touching all phases of the religious, social, and civic life of the people, death is momentous. We pause here today, to pay our last respects to our departed friend, associate, and neighbor, who departed this life Wednesday, June 10, 2009. We can say, without fear or contradiction that in the passing of Pastor Willie Davis, a pure sweet soul is at rest. A full day’s work finished, being weary of the burdens of life, the God whom he served so devotedly sent down from the shinning courts of glory a beautiful glorified messenger with orders to release from its suffering, decaying body, racked with pain and agony, a Christian spirit, a sanctified soul that has long been imprisoned in its house of clay and caused a sleep of which only God knows the awakening. How carefully then should we live, knowing that some day we too, must pay the debt that Pastor Davis has paid. We are living in a world where solemn shadows are continually falling upon our pathway; shadows that teach us the insecurity of all temporal blessings and warn us that here, there is no abiding stay. The death of Pastor Willie Davis again emphasizes that none beings. Again we are reminded that the way of man leads Master here shall not tary in the grave, but shall be led gently “Friend after friend Who hath not lost a is superior to the last call, which is common to all through the grave, and they who walk with the on into the land of light and beauty. departs. friend? There is no union here of heart, That finds not here an end.” Our beloved friend has fallen in life’s battle, acknowledged the supremacy of death, yielded to a victory that no one can resist, and entered upon a complete rest. It was decreed in the beginning,’ all must die”, but we shall rise from death to everlasting life if we are faithful unto death in the cause of Christ. | Therefore, be it resolved, that we share every sorrow of the bereaved family and extend to them our deepest sympathy, and that we stand always ready to welcome them to the cross, for earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be given to the family and a copy be sent to the press for publication.
