NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS
Current Mention
— There are now over 1,000 Protestant churches and missions in France. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the number was only sixty-eight.
— Thirty-six Negro convicts lost their lives on May 16, by the burning of the stockade at the Lucile mines in Alabama. The man who started the fire, hoping to escape, perished with the other victims. Seventy-five convicts were rescued.
— The World's Sunday-school Convention, with 8,000 delegates, representing more than fifty nations, met in Washington, D. C., May 19-24. Twelve thousand church workers listened to the address of welcome, which was given by President Taft in Convention Hall.
— Thirteen men were killed outright, and thirty others seriously injured, by the explosion of seven boilers in the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company's works at Canton, Ohio, on May 17. One hundred men were at work in the buildings at the time of the accident. The cause of the explosion is unknown.
— Cincinnati, Ohio, is to have a $30,000,000 railroad terminal station, which in size will be the third largest in this country. The new Pennsylvania terminal in New York City is the largest, and the Union Station in Washington, D. C., second in size. The new terminal in Cincinnati will differ from these, in that it will be equipped with office buildings, stores, and other space for rental.
— On the morning of May 15, Los Angeles and surrounding territory were visited by a series of earthquake shocks. Dishes were broken, house ornaments thrown down, and the walls of lighter houses cracked. The quake came as a double shock, with a swaying motion, giving a sensation of seasickness. Seismic shocks were also felt near Marseille, France, at midnight on the morning of May 16.
— By an explosion of dynamite on May 18, the rural guard barracks in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, were shattered, 100 persons killed, and as many more injured. Employees of the public works department, assisted by the rural guards, were loading cases of dynamite on wagons for shipment to the government magazines at Havana when the explosion occurred. The district has been placed under martial law.
— The appointment by President Taft of Gov. Charles E. Hughes, of New York, to fill the place on the Supreme Court bench left vacant by the death of Justice Brewer, meets with very general approval, despite the regret, often expressed, “that one so exceptionally equipped for the labors the people wish to have performed is to represent them as a judge rather than as an advocate.” Governor Hughes has won success in the practise of law, as professor of law, and as a lecturer at Cornell University. He first came conspicuously into public notice as counsel in the insurance investigation before the New York legislature in 1905-06. He was elected governor of New York in 1906, and re-elected in 1908. His unselfishness, firmness, and independence in that office have brought him prominently before the people.
— America's latest and greatest fighting machine, the super-dreadnaught “Florida,” was launched at the Brooklyn Navy Yards on the morning of May 12.
— On Wednesday, May 12, the statues of two Polish patriots, Count Pulaski and General Kosciusko, were unveiled in Washington, with appropriate ceremonies. Both these men served bravely and capably in the Revolutionary armies, Pulaski dying of wounds received in an assault on the British lines. The meeting in Washington of the Polish National Alliance, representing more than two million Polish-speaking people in the United States, at the time when the nation thus honored these heroes added interest to the event.

In 1907 he moved to Crook County, Wyoming; but in February of the present year, on account of failing health he returned to Sebeka, Minn. He was a patient sufferer. His hope was bright and his faith strong till the end. The funeral service was held in the Methodist church. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13, to a large congregation of sympathizing friends.
S. A. MUSKIRK.
ROGERS.—Edgar C. Rogers, son of C. D. and Eva A. Rogers, was born in Ilwaco, Wash., Sept. 30, 1888, and grew to manhood in this place. For some years he attended our school at Meadow Glade, Wash., where he was converted, and became a member of the church. Last spring he was graduated from this school, and planned to continue his education at Walla Walla College, but finally postponed going for one year. January 26 he became captain of the “Wanderer,” and began working on the Columbia River. On April 21, while going down the river, he was accidentally thrown into the water, and drowned. His body was recovered, and taken to Ilwaco for burial. The funeral was largely attended, business houses closing for the occasion. The service was conducted by the writer, who spoke from Luke 4:16-18. A father, mother, and two sisters are left to mourn the loss of an only son and brother, who thus early lays down life’s armor to await the call of the Life-giver.

F. I. RICHARDSON.
CHAPMAN.—“Mustered out” from life’s turmoils and conflicts, Oscar A. Chapman, at Battle Creek, Mich., April 30, 1910. As the deceased was the husband of our beloved sister in the Lord, Mrs. Minerva J. Chapman, so long connected with the Review Office as compositor, proof-reader, and editor of the Youth’s Instructor, a biographical sketch seems in place, though the departed never affiliated with any religious body. Mr. Chapman was born in Canandaigua, N. Y., Aug. 1, 1830, so at the time of his demise he was well along in the eightieth year of his life. On March 16, 1864, at Victor, N. Y., he was united in marriage to Miss M. J. Loughborough, sister of Elder J. N. Loughborough. It is a pleasure to add that our now bereaved sister has ever been a most faithful and trusted helpmate to her unconverted husband during their long wedded life. Sometime before the Civil War, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman removed to LaSalle, Ill., and later to Terre Haute, Ind., in both of which places he was engaged in railroad service. Immediately after the war was declared, he entered the naval service of his country, doing valiant duty on board various war-ships connected with the Atlantic and Gulf squadrons. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman came to Battle Creek in 1866, where they have since lived lives of quiet usefulness and appreciated worth. The funeral services were conducted at the residence, under the auspices of the Knights Templars of Battle Creek, according to the wish of the deceased. At the request of the wife, the writer arranged a Scripture lesson and offered prayer. Elder J. M. Wilbur, pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Battle Creek, assisted in the service.
G. W. AMADON.
BURROUGHS.—Died April 27, 1910, at Mineral, Kan., Sister Laura A. Burroughs, aged 58 years, 7 months, and 14 days. She was born at Springfield, Ill., Sept. 13, 1851. In early life she was converted, and lived a consistent Christian life in the Episcopal and Christian churches. Twenty-four years ago she accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith, and was an ardent supporter of it until death. She was married to George H. Burroughs on May 15, 1870. To this union were born thirteen children, seven of whom, with her husband, are living and mourn her death. Besides these, she leaves two brothers, one sister, and five grandchildren. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:13 at the service, which was conducted at the home.
W. H. CLARK.
WORTHEN.—Naomi L. Worthen was born in Charleston, Vt., Dec. 30, 1875, and died of tuberculosis, in Taft, Cal., May 2, 1910. She gave her heart to God in early childhood, and ever sought to live to his glory. She received her educational training at the South Lancaster Academy. After leaving school, she spent some time teaching among the poor of North Carolina, and later taught in Vermont, Canada, and Maine. About three years ago she came to Washington to be near her aged parents. While teaching in the church-school at Seattle in 1908, she contracted a severe cold, which developed into tuberculosis. She was a loving daughter, a helpful sister, and a faithful Christian teacher. The last few months of her life were spent in the mountains near Bakersfield, Cal., in the hope that she might recover. Her remains were brought to her home at Lynden, Wash., where we laid her to rest till the Life-giver shall call her forth. A father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters are left to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:14.
J. W. BOYNTON.
GILLETT.—Matilda S. Youngs was born in Ohio, Aug. 28, 1836. She joined the Christian Church at the age of seventeen. When she was twenty years old, she was married to Edwin R. Gillett; and at twenty-two years of age, through the study of the New Testament, she began the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath alone. Nearly twenty-five years ago Brother and Sister Gillett moved to Graysville, Tenn., where there was at that time none of like faith. Largely through the influence of their godly lives and faithful missionary work, an interest was created; and when the Seventh-day Adventist church of Graysville was organized, they became charter members in it. Brother and Sister Gillett were liberal contributors to the funds that erected the present meeting-house, the school buildings, and the sanitarium in Graysville, cheerfully giving all their means to this cause, which they so truly loved. About eight years ago, feeling that the cause was so well established at Graysville that their help was no longer needed, and both being in impaired health, they moved to New Mexico, and settled at Roswell, where they hoped to improve physically and assist in raising up another church. The church was raised up, but their health did not improve. Brother Gillett fell asleep about two years ago, there to rest until the first resurrection. Since then and until last March, Sister Gillett has lived with relatives in Kansas. Feeling that she was nearing her end, she had a longing desire to spend her last days at Graysville, and be buried by the side of her parents, who died here years ago. The church extended a hearty invitation to her to come, and when, in great feebleness, she reached Graysville, she was so cordially received by the brethren and sisters and old friends that her health seemed for a time to improve. But only for a time. On May 8, 1910, she calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, aged 73 years, 8 months, and 10 days. A brother in Wisconsin and a sister in California, with hundreds of friends and brethren and sisters in Christ, are left to mourn. Remarks on the occasion were made by the writer, from Ps. 116:15.
SMITH SHARP.
TAYLOR.—Died at Fresno, Cal., April 26, 1910, Leslie H. Taylor. He was born at Washington Court House, Ohio, his early life being spent at that place. At the age of twenty-four he was married to Carolyn M. Schott, of Rochester, N. Y. Their married life was one of unbroken happiness. They came to San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 15, 1908, where they accepted the third angel’s message. He was a great sufferer for many years, but he hid it under that pleasant, quiet disposition which made friends of all. He leaves a wife and one child. After the service at the home, a long procession followed the remains to the cemetery, where we laid him to rest to await the coming of the Life-giver at the resurrection of the just.
C. L. TAGGART.
LAYTON.—Charles Utaw Layton was born near Dresden, Ohio, May 30, 1869, and died near Leavittsburg, Ohio, at his parents’ home, April 25, 1910, aged 41 years, 10 months, and 25 days. He was a member of the United Brethren Church before becoming a Seventh-day Adventist, about seventeen years ago. He has tried to live a Christian life ever since. During his last illness his suffering was intense, but he was patient through it all. He leaves to mourn their loss, a loving wife, one daughter, and two sons; also his father, mother, two brothers, and five sisters. The funeral service was largely attended by relatives and friends. Words of comfort were spoken from Isa. 40:18 and Rev. 14:13, by the writer. He rests in hope.
F. E. GIBSON.
PURDON.—Died at the New England Sanitarium at Melrose, Mass., of septicemia, Elder Thomas H. Purdon, aged sixty-eight years and ten months. Elder Purdon was born in Sheffield, England, June 10, 1841, coming to this country when an infant, his parents settling in Vermont, where most of his life was spent. In the fall of 1861 he enlisted in Company B, 12th U. S. Infantry, serving faithfully three years, and taking part in all the heavy engagements of the Army of the Potomac. Three weeks before the time of his enlistment expired, he was taken prisoner, and held for seven months in Libby, Belle Isle, and Salisbury, N. C. He endured intense suffering, and barely lived to return home. In June, 1866, he was married to Electa I. Barton, who, with one daughter, Rowena E. Purdon, survives him. Elder Purdon accepted the Sabbath truth in 1871, and has ever been a loyal adherent to it. In 1885 he took charge of the Rutland city mission, organizing the church at that place, and remaining to the end its beloved pastor. He was president of the Vermont Conference for several years. His later years have been devoted to the cause of religious liberty, in which he took a deep interest. His last sickness was of three weeks’ duration. He was taken to the sanitarium, hoping that his life might be saved, but the Lord willed it otherwise. Though unable to speak for some days before his death, he signified to his wife by a strong pressure of the hand that it was well with him. The Vermont Conference has lost a valued worker and a safe counselor. Many of the believers looked to him as their father in the gospel, and they will form his crown of rejoicing in the great gathering day. The Rutland church greatly mourns the loss of their beloved pastor. The church was filled to the doors with many of the citizens of Rutland who had learned to respect and love him for his very works’ sake. One man said that Brother Purdon’s quiet, consistent life had kept him from losing entire faith in humanity. His unassuming way, coupled with persistent effort, was always productive of precious souls saved for the kingdom. The witness of his life is the best eulogy that could be offered him. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer in the church at Rutland, and Elder W. H. Holden accompanied the funeral train to Bristol, where he performed the final ceremonies as they laid him to rest in the beautiful cemetery to await the call of the great Life-giver.
