Brother Church accepted present truth in 1873. He was for a time first elder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at St. Helena, and served as elder in other churches as long as his health would permit. He was loved by all who knew him, for his consistent Christian life. In 1876 he was married to Mrs. H. M. Saunders. His wife, two sons, one brother, and two sisters survive him.

The third angel's message came to him in Sierra Leone in 1907, and he at once accepted it, and entered upon the work of warning this world of the coming judgments. His efforts were very successful. He assisted in raising up the little company at Waterloo, and for the last two years of his life labored on the Gold Coast. Aside from his relatives in Jamaica, he leaves a wife and a nephew in Sierra Leone, who mourn his death. We are assured that he rests in Jesus. D. C. BABCOCK.

COMBS.—Died at Longmont, Colo., March 13, 1912, my beloved wife, Nettie Bell Combs. She was born June 10, 1858, and came to Iowa in 1867 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James M. Payne. The family settled near Adel, and there resided for many years. At an early age she gave her heart to the Saviour, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Adel, and till her death she was a devoted, consistent Christian. We were married Jan. 1, 1880, and for thirty-two years we journeyed side by side along the pathway of life. She was a faithful and indulgent wife and mother. To us were born two daughters, who still survive. For many years she was a patient sufferer, and though her afflictions were many, no word of complaint passed her lips. About eight years ago we moved to Des Moines, thinking that her health would be better when she got away from the drudgery of the farm. Last September she went to Colorado to spend the winter with her daughter Mrs. Mable McKibben. She enjoyed the exhilarating air and balmy sunshine of her new home, and seemed happy and contented. But the all-wise Father, who knoweth the end from the beginning, saw fit to take my loved one away. Her remains were brought back to her old home in Iowa, and were laid to rest March 17. The funeral service was conducted by Pastor W. D. Parkhurst. M. C. COMBS.

Lecture on Liquor Traffic and Auditing Meeting

LAST Thursday evening, May 16, the students of the Foreign Mission Seminary and Washington Sanitarium listened to a lecture from Hon. Richmond P. Hobson, a member of the House of Representatives from Alabama, on "The Great Destroyer." Captain Hobson dealt with the evils of the liquor traffic in a very clear and forcible manner. He showed from history the relation of this evil to the rise and fall of nations, and from the researches of science its effect upon the human organism. Intensely interesting and truly startling statistics and graphic illustrations made the lecture replete with interest throughout. This lecture can be obtained in printed form by application to Hon. Richmond P. Hobson, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.

THERE is being held in Takoma Park, D. C., this week a meeting of union conference and institutional auditors and accountants. Over thirty brethren representing the American union conferences and several leading institutions are in attendance. The object of the gathering is to secure improved and uniform methods in this important branch of our work.

Henry F. Brown Goes to Spain

By Editor

BROTHER HENRY F. BROWN, who has been connected with the Spanish book work in Mexico for some time, sailed from Mexico for Spain, May 9, to assist in the book work in that needy field.

W. A. Spicer in Brazil

The latest word from Brother W. A. Spicer was sent from Porto Alegre, Brazil, March 29, at the close of a general meeting at that place. From there he was going to Rio de Janeiro. He reports good meetings with the believers at every place, although in Paraguay, especially, it was very hot and dry.

The Oberg Family Returns to Korea

Brother H. A. Oberg, secretary and treasurer of the Korean Mission, came home on a short furlough at the close of the general meeting in Shanghai. Recently he was united in marriage to Miss Graham, of Seattle, Wash. The first of May Brother and Sister Oberg sailed from San Francisco for Korea, where together they enter upon their work with hope and courage.

Fosters Return from Japan

By Editor

LAST week word was received at the Mission Board of the return of Brother and Sister W. L. Foster, from Japan, made necessary by the failing health of Sister Foster. They went to Japan about four years ago. Having acquired the language, which is very difficult, makes their leaving at this time a serious loss to the field.

Bible Readings in Fijian

By Editor

WE have just received an attractive little volume of Bible readings in the Fijian language, prepared by Elder J. E. Fulton. This work has thirty-eight Bible readings, thirty-five illustrations, and several diagrams, making a book of one hundred twenty-six pages. We are glad to welcome this book to our denominational literature.

Western Canadian Union Address Changed

By Editor

A letter received from Elder H. S. Shaw, president of the Western Canadian Union Conference, calls attention to the recent change made in the office address of that union. All mail intended for this union conference or its officers should now be sent to Box 244, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is hoped that all correspondents will make note of this change.

Institute of City Evangelists

By Editor

LAST week there was held in Takoma Park an institute of city evangelists and religious liberty secretaries. Prominent workers representing these departments, numbering over forty, were in attendance from the Atlantic and Columbia Union Conferences. Elder A. G. Daniells conducted the institute for the city workers, and Elder W. W. Prescott had in charge the institute for religious liberty workers. As these earnest workers came together and related their experiences, compared their methods, and told each other of what the Lord was doing for them and what they were seeking to do for him, they found special blessing in the gathering. Many interesting questions were discussed. A fuller report will be given in the REVIEW later.

Death of King Frederick VIII

The Danish nation, as well as several courts of Europe, has been thrown into mourning through the death of King Frederick VIII. This monarch ascended the throne on the death of his father, Jan. 29, 1906. He was noted for his simplicity and was greatly beloved by his subjects. He is brother to the king of Greece, father to the ruler of Norway, and brother to the empress of Russia. He is succeeded by his son, who was proclaimed king under the name of Christian X, the people mingling their joy at the accession of the new king with their sorrow for the one who had passed away.

Remarkable Recovery in Bolivia

Word from Brother F. A. Stahl states that when he reached La Paz, Bolivia, from the conference, he found his wife beyond human help. For two weeks she had recognized no one, and did not know him when he reached her bedside. He writes:

"All hope had been given up. The two doctors—Dr. Foster, an American, and Dr. Stocker, a German—had nothing to say to me by way of encouragement. They had done all they could. Dr. Foster's wife had helped nurse her. All La Paz seemed to be in sorrow over her; missionaries, railroad and mining people, came to inquire about her,—she had helped so many of these people when she was well. But I had faith in God, as the brethren at the conference had prayed for her, and I could trust God in this dark time. He heard and answered; for she was soon up and around. People all say that her recovery is truly remarkable. I give God the glory, for to him belongs all the praise."

A Missionary Printer for Korea

By E. R. Palmer

IN response to a call from Korea for a printer to take charge of their mission printing-office, Brother Frank Mills has been selected by the Mission Board, and has accepted the call.

For several years Brother Mills has been connected with the Review and Herald Office and the Foreign Mission Seminary, where his devotion to duty and faithfulness in service have given promise of a life of usefulness.

In making this appointment, the General Conference Committee requested that Brother Mills remain with the Review and Herald Office for six months, and be given special opportunity to prepare for the responsibilities which will rest upon him in Korea.

We greatly rejoice in the privilege of cooperating with the General Conference in this way. It is in harmony with our policy. We believe such calls will increase as the work advances. We shall make a place in our office for as many young people as we can use, in order that many may be in training for responsible positions as missionary printers, bookkeepers, and tract society secretaries, both in the home and in the foreign field.

E. R. PALMER.
