Mr. Carnett's funeral sermon was a tribute to Rev. Mr. Adams Christian faith and character and was based on the text: For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: And not to me, only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy, 4:6, 7 and 8.
He paid high tribute to Mr. Adams as a husband, father, citizen, Christian gentleman and fellow worker in the ministry.
