Reorganization of Relief Society

Sister Clarissa S. Williams has been President of the Relief Society for a number of years. Her husband was sick for a year or two prior to his death, and her own health has not been first-class. It has, therefore, been decided by the Council of the First Presidency and Twelve, after consultation with Sister Williams and with her approval, to release her from this position with our thanks, love and blessings. ¶

This action also involves the release of her counselors, Sisters Jennie B. Knight and Louise Y. Robison, and as the new president wishes Sister Amy Brown Lyman to be her first counselor, it also involves her release as secretary and treasurer of the organization. ¶

These good sisters carry our love and blessings for the splendid labors that they have performed. ¶

(The congregation then indicated their approval of this action by unanimous vote.) ¶
