Westworth.—Died in Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 5, 1905, of a painful aneurism of the abdominal aorta, Sister Catharine Westworth, aged 59 years. Several years ago she rowed a boat against a strong current until something gave way in her left side. This was the beginning of serious trouble. The last sixteen weeks of her life were days of intense suffering. She was most tenderly cared for by her daughter-in-law, and all that medical skill could do was done to give relief, but with little success. She was an earnest worker for the Lord and his cause. Her peace was fully made with God. Her husband, and two sons, Elder W. A. and Robert F. Westworth, are left to follow her example of faithfulness. Words of comfort were spoken from 2 Tim. 1:12, last clause. G. D. Ballou.

Meilecke.—Died at his home, eight miles east of Ulen, Minn., Aug. 6, 1905, Frederick Meilecke, aged 66 years and 6 months. He was born in the Province of Brattenberg, Germany, Feb. 2, 1839, and came to America in 1852. He accepted present truth eighteen years ago under the labors of Elder L. R. Conradi. He was united in marriage with Dorothy Doehring, and to them were born four sons and four daughters. While they sorrow, it is with assurance that he sleeps in Jesus, awaiting the trumpet call.

Brother Everett Tichenor accepted present truth in 1901, and rejoiced in the same till death, which came by drowning while crossing Swan River in company with Mrs. J. M. and Mrs. O. E. Pogue and his two sisters, Goldie and Edith. While endeavoring to save the lives of the others, he lost his own. Goldie and Edith were bright, affectionate girls, who will be greatly missed in the family circle. Father, mother, brothers, and sisters are left to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 11:23-25. J. F. Pogue.

Pease.—Died at the home of his son George Pease, in Reno, Mo., of catarrh of the bladder, May 30, 1905, James Pease, aged 85 years and 4 months. Father had been a sufferer for two years, but the last two weeks had no pain, and passed away without a struggle. We laid him away in the Ozark Mountains to rest until the Life-giver comes. Forty years ago he accepted present truth under the labors of Washington Morse, at Deerfield, Minn., and was ever a faithful observer of the Sabbath. For sixteen years he was elder of the Bridgewater, S. D., church. His words of counsel and advice will be missed in the home and in the church. The funeral service was conducted by Brethren Cole and Downs. Mrs. Geo. W. Pease.

Orcutt.—Died at his home in Kent City, Mich., June 19, 1905, of heart failure, Samuel Orcutt, aged 84 years, 11 months, and 23 days. In October, 1861, he enlisted in the United States service and went to fight his country's battles. Soon after the close of the war, he came to Michigan and settled in Tyrone Township, Kent County, on a new farm, where he lived twenty-five years, and in the autumn of 1869 moved to Kent City. He and his wife were among the first in that place to accept the message of the soon coming of the Saviour and kindred truths in the summer of 1888. By his death a tender tie is broken, but his wife, one brother, and many friends are comforted by the Master's promises. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. W. D. Parkhurst.

Brooks.—Died in National Home, Milwaukee, Wis., July 25, 1905, of heart-disease and dropsy, David B. Brooks, aged 79 years. Brother Brooks went through the 1844 movement, but did not see the light of the third angel's message until a number of years later when a fellow comrade in the Home carefully and faithfully presented the truth to him, which he accepted with gladness of heart. He was not only an esteemed servant of his country, but was a faithful soldier of the cross, and his testimony just before death was full of joy and courage and a blessed hope of soon meeting his Lord. In early life he and an only brother were deprived of their parents, and were adopted by different families. This brother, Brother F. T. Wales, still survives. The burial took place in the cemetery near the National Home, the writer officiating. R. T. Dowsett.

The August Missionary Review

A VARIETY of articles fill the August number of The Missionary Review of the World. Perhaps the most interest ing is that on “Obstacles to Christian Missions in China,” by a native Chinese Christian. There are a number of articles on Africa, dealing with the “Distribution of Missionary Forces,” “Lourenco Marques Country,” “Angola,” and “Negro Missions.” Other subjects treated are “Evangelistic Effort Among the Young,” “The Caravan Mission to French Gypsies,” “The Gospel in Brazil,” “The Signs of the Times in India,” “The Williamstown Band,” etc.

Souvenir Book of Michigan Home for Girls

THE “Souvenir Book,” of the Michigan Home for Girls is an interesting publication issued in the interest of a good work. The Home is under the management of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. McKee, who are well known to many of the readers of the REVIEW. It is located seven miles from Grand Rapids, Mich., on a farm of forty acres which was provided for this purpose in a providential manner. The following information concerning this worthy institution will be of interest: “The young women who are received are not required to pay for the privileges they enjoy. The officers and managers receive no salaries. The Home, however, is industrial—all work. Pure air, exercise, out-of-door life, healthful surroundings, and wholesome food are remedial agents which God can always bless for moral and physical renovation. He has blessed them here in a marked manner. The Home has sheltered twenty-eight girls. Two of these are honorably married. Five are at home with their parents. Six are in honorable employment at service. Four are missionaries. Two have been sent away as incorrigible. At present there are nine at the Home. Thirty have been refused for lack of room.” Contributions for the support of this work will be thankfully received. Address Michigan Home for Girls, 14 Worden St., Grand Rapids, Mich.

The Mission Board’s Sabbath Readings

THE MISSION BOARD last week sent out the second Sabbath missionary reading for September. No church should omit the use of these programs. The readings are now printed in slightly larger type and a more readable form.

Duncombe Hall Training College

By Editor

WE have watched with peculiar interest the growth of Duncombe Hall Training College, which was established in London in 1901, and whose calendar for 1905-06 is just received. For four years it has conducted its work in rented buildings, in the meantime gathering funds from donations and the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” for the purpose of providing suitable buildings and further equipment. During this period it has incurred no debt for operating expenses, a record which is worthy of consideration by some of our institutions in this country. This training-school has been a great blessing to the work in the British Union Conference, and we are confident that its influence will be even more marked in the future.

An Appeal for Review and Leaflet Work

By Editor

“We invite the immediate co-operation of every Seventh-day Adventist, at least to this extent: first, sign for the REVIEW AND HERALD now, if you are not a subscriber. Do not wait to be asked. Second, send for one pound of The Signs of the Times Leaflets, and pass them out from house to house among your neighbors, beginning with number one, and thus give at least twenty families in your vicinity sixteen of these bright, pointed readings, covering the most important features of our faith.”

The preceding paragraph is quoted from an article written by the secretary of the General Conference Publishing Committee which appears in this number on page 17. Every one who desires a part in the great work to be done during these autumn and winter months should read this article, and lay definite plans for work in harmony with these suggestions.

Christian Education at Washington Training College

The following paragraph from the announcement of the Washington Training College will indicate the attitude of the institution upon the question of a proper education:—

The development of the highest type of moral character and a preparation for the most efficient service for God and humanity are the most worthy aims in education. Courses of study should be planned, and methods of instruction should be determined, with primary reference to these aims. This is Christian education. It means the harmonious development of all the powers of the being,—physical, mental, and moral,—and a training of all these powers in the actual experience of service. The result of such an education should be seen in young men and women possessing good health and knowing how to preserve it, having minds stored with the facts and principles acquired by earnest application and experience in their use; and revealing in the life, loyalty to God and his truth, and intelligent devotion to his service. Such an education will prepare workmen who will show themselves approved unto God, and who need not to be ashamed.

A copy of the announcement can be secured by addressing the president, Prof. J. W. Lawhead, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

Life and Health for September

THE leading article in Life and Health for September is “Flesh as Food.” This is by Mrs. E. G. White, and in a clear, sensible manner it answers the questions which are usually asked. “The Baby Girl” speaks of what it means to mother and to father when they receive the word, “It’s a girl,” and outlines the hopes and plans of each for the future welfare of the newcomer. “How Shall We Preserve Our Children Pure?” by Dr. Harriet S. Maxson, is another article which every parent should read. In addition to the articles mentioned, there is a wealth of other good things in this issue of the journal, and its edition of fifteen thousand copies should be sold out long before the month is over. Single copy, 5 cents. In quantities of 25 or more copies to one address, 2½ cents a copy. Address Life and Health, Washington, D. C.

Funds for the South

By J. S. Washburn

THE amount received here in Washington for the Southern fund up to date is $185.65. This does not include all that has been sent directly to Nashville. This is reported in the Watchman of August 22, and up to that time there had been received on the Nashville church building fund $627.75. As the church is now paid for, these donations will be applied to other needs in the South. We are glad to see our brethren and sisters turning their attention at once to the great need of the Southern work. We trust the donations will rapidly increase, and that next week we may be able to head our list with a donation of from one hundred to one thousand dollars.

Amount previously reported ..$143 15 T. J. Sutherland ............ 5 00 Leroy Knott .................. 1 00 Mrs. H. Rathburn ............ 1 00 Wm. Clayton ................. 1 00 Miss L. M.
