The ranks of the Chelsea W. c. T. u.
have been broken for the fourth time by
the death angel, aud one whom we had
learned to love as a sister has gone where
there is no more girding on of armor, no
more need Of a badge for they are all one
in Christ Jesus. just before our Flower
Mission day Dune 81 the day set apart for
bringing JOY and gladness to the weary
sufferer and to the prisoner, Sister Aman-
da A. Young, our Flower Mission Supt.,
was released from long continued suffer-
ing, and from the letters of earth life to
dwell forevermore in her Savior's pres
ence. OF the loveliness of Sister Young's
character too much cannot be said. Very
quiet and unpretending, she was most full
| ly appreciated by those who knew her
longest and best. For the two years pre-
vious to her final yielding to long stand
/ ing disease, she shared the home of the
writer, constant sufferer, even then but
so brave and CHEEKY that her presence was
never depressing. Indeed amid the sharp
est pain or the continual WEAKNESS that is
most discouraging, | have never heard a
some bright and cheering word for those
whose hearts were aching for her. On
Thanksgiving day 1889 she went from our
home to that of her father and very soon
became partially paralyzed in her lower
limbs and for many months was almost
wholly confined to her bed. A wheel
chair added to her comfort in the last few
months and the uneeasing endeayors OF
her loved ones seemed to be bringing re-
ward in increased vigor and power, until
a few weeks before the end, when sudden
and rapid failure batfied love and skill and
left the loving caretakers with empty
hands and aching hearts. For four years
Sister Young was the faithful and hard
working See. OF Orange Co. w. c. T. U.
In the face of almost insurmountable diff
ficulties she gathered the workers from
near and from far for our most interesting
and helpful Institutes, and through this
work has endeared herself to wide circle
of white ribboners. The Union was we'll
represented at the last loving service, fur
nishing the flowers, one piece composed
of pure lilies of the valley being hung up
on the empty chair. AT the next regular
meeting OF the Union the following reso-
buttons were passed:
WHEREAS, God in his all wise provi- |
dence has removed from our visible pres /
ence our worthy and highly esteemed sis /
ter, Amanda A. Young, II seems highly /
fitting that we make some record OF our |
appreciation Of her worth and pay some /
tribute to her memory, therefore be il re- |
solved,
LIST, That in the death Of our sister, our
Union has lost one of its best and most /
honored members, loss that has cast a +
dark shadow over all our hearts, that |
nothing but the Christians faith can nit /
igate or dispel.
End, That we bear our heartfelt testi
mony to our deceased sisters excellence /
and virtue, to her exalted Christian char
acter, to her kind spirit as friend and to /
her answering integrity in the cause of
right.
3rd, That while we deeply feel and [
mourn her loss, we will fondly cherish
her memory and endeavor to initiate her
virtues and profit by her example.
4th, That we tender our sincere sympa-
thy to our sisters sorely afflicted father,
mother and sisters and offer fervent pray
ers for their support and comfort in this
time of bereavement.
9Th, That our Cor. Sec. be instructed to
forward a copy of the above resolutions to
The family of the deceased sister and also
to the CHELSEA HERALD for publication
and that the Rec. Sec. have copy insert
ed in our book of record. L. c. II.

iions which brought the pleasant after
noon toa close. Two names were added
to our membership.
