The Young People's Christian Association, which he had founded, have
spread the following resolutions of respect upon their minutes:

"_Whereas_, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler and Architect of the
Universe to remove from our Association our beloved and estimable
brother and Corresponding Secretary D. W. Anderson, whose
Christian life was a beacon light, for all associated with him to
follow, being humble, patient, forbearing, and forgiving,
Therefore,

"_Resolved_, That in his death we have lost an humble and true
Christian, possessing the same prominent characteristics which
distinguished the Saviour of Mankind, doing good whenever he
believed he was serving his Heavenly Master, administering to the
poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, binding up the
wounds of those offended, and laboring zealously for the
salvation of souls, but while we feel the severe stroke of death
that has stricken down one of our best members, we bow humbly to
the will of Divine Providence, 'who doeth all things well,'
believing that He has summoned our brother to dwell with Him in
peace and happiness and to join the Army that is continually
singing praises to Him who rules both the Heavens and the earth,
so we cheerfully bow and acknowledge that our loss is his eternal
gain.

"_Resolved_, That we tender to his bereaved family our sincere
and Christian sympathy in this their hour of bereavement, and
pray that He who has promised to be a Husband to the Widow, and a
Father to the Fatherless, may keep and protect them.

"_Resolved_, That a copy of these resolutions be engrossed and
sent to the family of our deceased brother, and that the same be
entered upon the records of the Association."
