The Young People's Christian Union, or YPCU, was a Universalist Youth organization founded before 1893. It was superseded by Liberal Religious Youth in 1953, as Unitarianism and Universalism came ever-closer together, but before the official merger in 1961.

The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
No bigger than a mouse;”

The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”

It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
