Message of Greeting to Dr. Davidson

Text of motion: Message of Greeting to Dr. Davidson from the Upper and Lower Houses of General Synod, London, 1924; Resolved, That this Synod is conscious of a sense of great personal loss in the absence from this session of one of its most honored members, Dr. Leo. H. Davidson, K.C.; Dr. Davidson has been a member of this Synod from the time of its inception and has always taken a prominent part and exercised a strong influence on its decisions. He always stood for the highest ideals and often had to take the unpopular side.; We regret his absence, not only because we lose the benefit of his counsel but more so because we miss one who has gained our sincere respect and affection.; We cherish a hope that we may sometimes even yet have the benefit of his experience and we know that we shall have the help of his sympathy and prayers. And so we pray God to bless our wise old comrade and counsellor and grant to him a happy peaceful Eventide.
