Tribute of Respect.

At a special meeting Of the Fellowship So
clesy, held on Wednesday evening" May 18th, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted, as tribute of respect to the
memory Of their late president, Hon. RICHARD
YEADoS:
To commemorate the virtues OF the dead, to
lnger rondy over the recollections OF past friend
ship, and to drop the tear OF affection over the
graves Of departed loved ones. belong to the finest
FEELINGS OF our nature. Revelation teaches that
we are born to die to be raised again to everlast
ing life, and that our existence here Is only pre-
paratory to that better and nobler state OF being
where there Is no death-when the loved ones,
removed but not lost, shall be reunited, to part no
more forever; and however consoling this may
he, anil most assuredly is, to the stricken heart,
yet nature must be INDUCED in pouring forth her
lamentations in the sad hour OF bereavement.
Nor is this incompatible with the teachings Of
Christianity. Jesus wept over the grave Of his
departed friend, and well may we be permitted to
mingle our tears over the grave Of one whom we
loved and esteemed so much.
Our friend and companion, the head OF our as
ISOLATION for many long years, has been taken
from us by the relentless hand Of death. RICH
ARD YEaDoN, president Of the Fellowship Society,
has presided for the last time over our friendly
and social meetings. He was born on the 23d OF
October 1902; was admitted a member OF the So
ciety March 9TH, 1929. Of which his grandfather
and father, each bearing the same naneas him
self, had been members, the latter having served
two years as president.
The first year after his admission be was elect
ed Junior warden, marked evidence by the
members Of their high appreciation OF his talents
aud ability. In March, 1898, he was elected
senior warden, in which otfice he served until the
death Of the lamented president, Colonel Charles
John Steedman, In 1888, when he was unanimous
ly chosen to supply the vacancy; and from that
time to the hour of his death he filed the respon-
sbe and honorable oflce OF president to which
he was annually reelected, comprising period
OF thlrty.two years.
To say he was devoted to the Society, is to say
but uttle He gave his time, his money, his splen.
did talents, his untirng energy, to the promotion

OF Its interests and the welfare Of the distressed
widows and orphans his deceased brethren was
ever dear to his heart. Indeed. he was always
ready to manifest his sympathy for the afflicted,
and his tender and loving heart delighted to min
lister to the wants OF the destitute. While engaged
in the absorbing and important duties of his pro.
fession, or answering the call of his country by
devoting his energies to the honest and faithful
discharge Of the public trusts committed to him
as legislator, he always found time to answer
the cry OF distress, and 'his hand was open as
day to melting charity"
His brethren OF thelegal profession have spoken
OF his great ability as jurlst; OF his faithfulness
and indelatgable eXertlons as an advocate; OF
his forensic eloquence and legal acumen;.of his
earnest love OF truth and justice; and his pastor
has borne testimony Of bis love for the church OF
his fathers, and Of his zeal In her cause. Let 1t
be ours to bear in mind mis- deeds OF charity and
benevolence; his love for this Society," which ami
mated him to the very close Of q long and honor
able life; how much he added to the social enjoy
ment OF our meetings by his fund Of anecdote,
aud his promotion Of good Fellowship and to
mourn over the loss we have sustained by his de-
mise. Yet "we sorrow not even as others who
have no hope,n but anticipate reunion in anoth-
er and better world, being well assured that
"them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring
with him."
Resolped, unanimously, That by the death Of
the HON. RICHARD YEADoN, the community gene.
rally have lost q learned jurlst. faithful advo.
cate, true patriot and devoted friend to his
country; the widow and orphan kind and mU-
nifcent friend; while the Fellowship Society has
been deprived OF beloved president, who pre-.
sided over their deliberations for generation,
who was entitled to and received the anection
of the members, and whose memory we shall
ever cherish with the proudest recollection.
Resolued, unanimously That page OF the Min
ute Book be dedicated to his memory, and that
the gavels OF the officers and the portrait OF our
deceased president be draped in mourning until
the next anniversary.
Resolved, unanimously, That In token Of our
deep and heartfelt condolenece with his bereaved
widow, a copy Of these resolutions be transmitted
TO her. CAMPBELL DOUGLAS,
Secretary.
