76 MINISTRY OF REV. MR. CARROLL. when come, that I may " know nothing among you save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." "Affectionately yours, in the bonds of a common Lord, J. HALSTED CARROLL. Messrs. Thomas Horsfall and E. S. Minor, Committee." This cheering intelligence was soon blighted by the receipt of a letter from Mrs. Carroll to one of the Dea- cons, stating, under date of Brooklyn, January 31st, that in consequence of Mr. Carroll's severe indisposi- tion, his physicians had ordered him as far South as he could go, so as to enable him to escape the coming Spring here ; and that the state of his health was such as would prevent his undertaking the duties of a charge for at least six months to come. It was, tliereforc, " with tearful regret, and yet with submis- sion to the mysterious providence creating the neces- sity, that Mr. Carroll must, for your sakes, recall his acceptance, and thus release you from the obligations which his acceptance involved." At a meeting of the Society's Committee, holden on the 1st of February, 1861, the above-mentioned letter was read and considered : — Whereupon, the following Kesolution was unanimously adopted : — " Resoloc.J , Tliat the Conmiittee of the South Church Society have licard with deep regret tlie statements com- municated by IMrs. Carroll, througli Deacon Horsfall, with regard to the impaired licallh of her husband; aiul of the necessity imposed ujxm him by medical advi(!e, to postpone all ])rofessional and pastoral labor for some months to come; and they sym])athize deeply in the regrets expressed by Mr. and Mrs. C. in his consequently being obliged to recall his acceptance of the engagement we had proffered him.
