Resolution passed at a meeting of the Sons of Temperance of Manchester.

At a meeting of the officers and representatives of the twenty-nine divisions under the Manchester Grand Division of the order of the Sons of Temperance, England, in session assembled April 29, 1865, it was—

Unanimously resolved, That this Grand Division expresses its utter abhorrence at the revolting and cowardly assassination of the late President of the United States of America, by which act we feel that America has lost one of its brightest ornaments and our cause one of its noblest champions, and desires to offer our deepest sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and the people of America in the sad and bereaving dispensation under which they have had to groan, and pray that the arm of Omnipotence may surround and sustain them.

Signed on behalf of the Manchester Grand Division:

HENRY HULME, G. W. P.
JOHN HARRISON, G. S.
