E. HARRIS, Secretary. A SISTER requests prayer for a family in Cuba who are passing through great financial perplexity as a result of accepting the truth. From Arkansas a sister writes asking our prayers for healing. She is greatly afflicted. The Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium Training School for Nurses offers splendid opportunities for our young men and women to prepare themselves for more efficient service in the cause of Christ and humanity. The instruction given includes all the branches of nursing taught in the modern training school, both theoretical and practical. Being a large institution, the practical training is not limited to any one branch of our work, and the nurse receives a wide and varied experience in general, hospital, and surgical nursing. To assist those whose financial circumstances may be a handicap to taking the nurses' course, our sanitarium has so arranged that nurses entering the course receive a small remuneration each month in excess of expenses during the first year, the second and third years the remuneration being more than the first year. Our sanitarium is beautifully situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. We have a delightful summer and winter climate. Write for nurses' catalogue.

JOBST.—On the morning of April 8, 1914, our hearts were deeply grieved to learn that our beloved friend and brother, Charlie Jobst, had been suddenly killed by contact with a live electric wire while doing some repairing at Ensley, near Birmingham, Ala. He was taken away in the prime of life. Because of his kind and unselfish disposition, Brother Jobst was greatly beloved by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, a widowed mother, two brothers, and a sister, who deeply mourn their loss. We all greatly miss him, but we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Services were conducted by Elder S. D. Hartwell and the writer. MRS. J. H. THOMPSON
By Mrs. J. H. Thompson

In 1858 she was married to Clinton Palmer, who died several years ago at Clark, N. Dak. To them four children were born, of whom only one son survives. Sister Palmer's Christian experience began in early life, and seven years ago, under the labors of Elder C. A. Hansen, she accepted the truth held by Seventh-day Adventists, and joined the Quincy church, continuing faithful to the last. Her life was devoted to unselfish service for others. She was of a cheerful disposition, and during her long illness bore her afflictions with patience and resignation. Pastor Horton (Baptist) conducted the funeral services. EDW. A. PIPER

By Claude E. Eldridge
YOUNG.— Roy Arthur Young was born Feb. 27, 1890, in Pueblo, Colo., and died June 10, 1914, near Pitkin, Colo. In 1909 he was married to Miss Ida Ivy, who, with their infant son, survives. Brother Young was killed by the falling of a tree upon him in the timber where he had recently obtained work in order to be able to keep the Sabbath. He had been baptized only a few weeks before, but his Christian experience was fragrant with the grace of God. We expect he will come forth in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken from Isa. 57:1. STEMPLE WHITE
By STEMPLE WHITE
KELSEY.—Calvin Kelsey was born in Ohio, Sept. 5, 1834, and died near Morse, Wis., May 29, 1914. He accepted present truth in 1853 through the personal labors of Brother Washington Morse, and throughout his long career was faithful to the glorious gospel message. For several years in the early days of Minnesota he was quite prominently connected with the conference work, and was a generous giver to the cause of present truth. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, and our brother was laid to rest beneath the shade of the pines, to await the summons of the Life-giver at the glorious dawning of the swiftly coming morn. MRS. ANNIE SUFFIC OOL

GRUELL.—Died at Colorado Springs, Colo., June 23, 1914, Sister Minerva Gruell, aged 59 years, 8 months, and 22 days. Sister Gruell was born in Miami County, Indiana. She, with her family, moved to Colorado in 1877, and for the last fourteen years they have resided in Colorado Springs. She accepted the truths of the third angel's message one year ago, as the result of Bible readings, and was taken into church fellowship about four months ago; but being an invalid, she never had the pleasure of meeting with us. She fell asleep in the blessed hope of meeting the soon-coming Saviour in peace. Words of comfort were spoken to an attentive audience, based on John 11:11; 5:28, and first part of verse 29; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; and kindred scriptures. KILLEN.—Ida Mabel Creasey was born in Wisconsin, March 6, 1877. When eight years old she was baptized by Elder Isaac Sanborn. With her parents she went to North Carolina in 1894. She was married to W. L. Killen in 1895, and with her husband she labored to extend the knowledge of present truth. In 1911 Elder Killen moved his family to Idaho, where he was conference field missionary agent. After a short but severe illness Sister Killen died in the Canyon Hospital, in Caldwell, June 19, 1914. The funeral was conducted by the writer in the Caldwell Seventh-day Adventist church, assisted by Elder A. C. Bird and Brother T. L. Copeland. Amid the profusion of flowers brought in by the many friends, she was laid to rest to await the call of the Life-giver. A husband, one son, four daughters, an aged father and mother, two brothers, and one sister mourn their loss, but they are comforted by the many precious promises of God.
J. J. NETHERY. SCHUSTER.—Naomi, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Schuster, died at their home in Jackson, Mich., June 29, 1914, aged 7 months and 22 days. The hope of the resurrection brings comfort to the sorrowing parents. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. Text, Ps. 30:5. D. P. Wood. RAYNER.— Francis Rayner was born in Montgomery County, Maryland, Oct. 4, 1834, and died near Tracy, Cal., June 11, 1914. Brother Rayner came to California in 1861. About four years ago he accepted Christ and the third angel’s message, and from that time was true to his profession, being ready to meet the summons to rest. Two children, a son and a daughter, both in the message, also two brothers and one sister, survive him.
D. T. Fero. HAYFORTH.— John Hayforth was born in the State of New York, Jan. 2, 1831, and died at the home of his daughter, in Adrian, Mich., June 26, 1914. In 1861 he was married to Amanda Coon.

Fifteen children were born to them, four of whom are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. She with her husband accepted present truth under the labors of Elder G. E. Langdon about nineteen years ago. The funeral service was conducted by the writer in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, where our sister was laid to rest to await the call of the Life-giver. Briggs and Laing
By D. P. Wood; C. V. Starr
BRIGGS.— Mary Lycock was born in Hector, N. Y., July 31, 1825, and died at the home of her grandson, in Jackson, Mich., June 21, 1914. She with her parents came to Michigan in 1835. In 1847 she was married to Chas. S. Briggs, and about the year 1867 they accepted present truth. In 1890 he fell asleep. Sister Briggs's life was one of unselfish effort to help others, and we laid her to rest, feeling assured that she will come forth on the morn of the first resurrection. She leaves a large circle of relatives and friends, who deeply mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. Text, Ps. 116:15.
D. P. Wood. LAING.— Wellcome Winfred Laing was born near Bethlehem, Iowa, Aug. 1, 1893, and fell peacefully asleep June 24, 1914. Six years ago he was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Hagerman, N. Mex. Becoming discouraged, for a portion of these years his life did not show a full consecration to the service of God. But on his last Sabbath he fully submitted all to his Saviour. He then called relatives to his bedside and pleaded with them to accept the Saviour, whom he had found precious to his soul. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Methodist church. A very large concourse of people gathered to express their sympathy in this hour of sorrow, and to listen to words of comfort from 2 Sam. 14:14. We laid him to rest in the cemetery west of town. While our hearts are filled with sorrow, we expect to meet him when the Life-giver comes.
C. V. Starr. ANDERSEN.—Miss Lena Antoinette Andersen was born at Norland, Norway, March 27, 1867, and died at National City, Cal., June 27, 1914. Her birthplace was in almost the extreme northern part of Norway, in the land of the midnight sun. Here she spent her early life, and here she accepted Christianity and became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the age of twenty. Three years later she came to America with Elder O. A. Olsen, and was graduated from the nurses' course at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in 1893. During her training she spent some time in slum work in the city of Chicago, where she contracted tuberculosis, to which disease she has, after a fight of twenty-one years, fallen a victim. After graduation, she returned with one of her classmates to Norway, where she started the treatment room work in the city of Christiania. Here she labored for five years. Broken in health, she returned to Battle Creek, and later went to Boulder, Colo., where she lived for six years, working a part of that time in the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium. About five years ago she came to the Paradise Valley Sanitarium. For a time she was much improved in health, but later she began to fail, and during the past year was confined to her bed. She was a great sufferer, but was upheld by an unwavering trust in God. Her last few months of life were especially marked by a spirit of complete consecration. She bowed in perfect resignation to the Master's will, and died with a bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. Her eternal reward awaits her on that day. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in San Diego. About fifty of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium family were present, the nurses in attendance being in full uniform. A. C. ANDERSON

SHIELDS.—Carol L. Shields was born in Cass County, Missouri, Dec. 31, 1893, and died in Austin, Mo., July 1, 1914. He was converted about five years ago, and united with the Baptist Church. Carol was always kind and obedient to his widowed mother, and what he could earn he shared with her. During the last week of his illness he promised the Lord that he would henceforth keep the Sabbath day holy. He was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him. His mother, two sisters, and a number of relatives and friends are left to mourn, but not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 14: 1, 2. Wagner
By C. D. M. WILLIAMS.
WAGNER.—Reuel Spray Wagner was born March 12, 1898, near Fairmont, Nebr., and died June 5, 1914, at Phoenix, Ariz. Reuel was brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and from childhood was a follower of the Saviour. He was baptized when only nine years of age, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Perry, Okla. A few months ago the family moved to Phoenix so that they might place their children in the church school. Reuel was very anxious to prepare himself for work in the Master's vineyard. During his short stay among us his consistent Christian life was a source of help to our young people. The father, mother, sister, and two brothers deeply feel the loss of their loved one; but the God of all comfort is with them and will keep them in this their hour of trial. C. D. M. WILLIAMS. FREELAND.—Mrs. Pauline Gilbert Freeland was born near Post Burwell, Ontario, Canada, May 13, 1847, and died at Atlanta, Nebr., May 23, 1914. She with her parents moved to Jackson County, Michigan, when she was thirteen years of age. At the age of twenty she was married to William Freeland. In 1880 they moved to Rock Falls, Nebr., where they lived until four years ago, when they moved to Atlanta. To them were born four children, two sons and two daughters, of whom only one son, with the husband and father, is left to mourn. The last year of her life was one of suffering, but she bore all patiently to the very last. She gave her heart to God while young, and walked in the light that came to her. She united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1906, in which faith she now sleeps in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, assisted by E. G. McDaniel, pastor of the M. E. Church. G. W. MORSE
By G. W. Morse
HICKOK.— Mary A. Hickok, née Baker, was born May 31, 1836, at Rodman, Jefferson Co., N. Y., and died June 11, 1914, at Miami, Fla. In 1854 she was married to Stephen W. Hickok, who died about twelve years ago. To them were born four children, one daughter and three sons, the daughter dying when a child. Of Sister Hickok's immediate relatives, she leaves one brother and one sister. Our beloved sister led an unusually active life, not only in the matter of home duties, but also as regards religious, social, and philanthropic affairs. Her services and labors of love were incessant, and characterized by a remarkable spirit of self-abnegation. Hers was a life of the purest of motives, and she always sought the good and comfort of others in preference to her own. Before the year 1863 she was a Seventh-day Baptist, but for the last fifty years of her life she was a consistent believer in the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists, and will be fondly remembered by hundreds of our ministers and laborers for her faithful and efficient ministrations in their behalf. In church, Sabbath school, and missionary services, Sister Hickok was ever an active, exemplary, and efficient participant. The Lord abundantly sustained her, and she was a remarkable example of patience and resignation during her great sufferings, her only wish being that the Lord's will be done. She died in the glorious triumphs of the Christian faith, and rests with bright hope of a part in the resurrection of the just. Funeral service was conducted by Elder W. E. White, of Miami. H. W. COTTRELL
By H. W. Cottrell
CUTLER.— Geo. E. Cutler was born in Washington, Mich., July 5, 1845, and died at his home in Dallas, Oregon, June 23, 1914. He was converted and united with the Seventh-day Adventists at the age of twenty-five years, and was associated with this people at the time of his decease. He was elder of the Dallas church for fourteen consecutive years, and was one of the most prominent business men of the city, having lived in or near it since 1891. In 1879 he was united in second marriage to Miss Alice Crocket, of Michigan, who, with a daughter, a son from the former marriage, and five grandchildren, survives. He rests. His works follow him. He passed peacefully away in the unwavering hope of the call of the Master to an endless life. May the surviving ones be comforted with that comfort which Christ alone can impart. The funeral services were conducted at his residence, attended by a large concourse of citizens and near relatives. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, Elder Starbuck assisting in the services. HITTLE.—Mrs. Phoebe Hittle was born in Missouri, Dec. 11, 1856, and died May 26, 1914. In 1893 she gave her heart to God and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and from that time until she passed away she was a conscientious Christian. She fell asleep in full hope of a part in the first resurrection. While in her teens she obtained a liberal education, which fitted her for the public places she occupied. A number of years she was postmistress, and in addition to this, many were the eyes that eagerly watched the news journals for the intelligent, spicy articles that frequently came from her fruitful pen. Much of her useful life was spent in public-school teaching; and while training the youthful minds of her pupils in the branches of learning that would fit them for useful service as citizens, she did not forget their spiritual needs, but conducted Sunday schools and Sabbath schools, in which she instructed them in the way of salvation. She leaves a son and a large circle of friends to mourn the loss of a loving mother, a good neighbor, and a compassionate nurse in times of sickness. The funeral was conducted by the writer, assisted by the Methodist minister of Valentine. Services were held in the Presbyterian church, where words of comfort were spoken from Rom. 16: 2; and amid a large crowd of sympathizers we laid her to rest in the city of the dead, at Valentine, Nebr., to await the call of her Master.

By D. E. LINDSEY.
EGGELSTON.— Hiram Eggelston was born at Brandy Camp, Pa., in 1833, and died at Norwalk, Ohio, July 4, 1914. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. The wife of the deceased has been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for many years.
D. E. LINDSEY. DECKER.—Mrs. Lottie Decker, of Newberg, Oregon, was born in New Brunswick, Canada, Nov. 29, 1845, her age at death being 68 years, 6 months, and 12 days. When about ten years old she came to Minnesota with her parents, and in 1864 was married to Mr. Lyman H. Decker. To this union were born six daughters and one son, five of whom are living to mourn the loss of a loving Christian mother. Soon after their marriage she and her husband accepted present truth. From that time she was a faithful, earnest worker in the church. In 1889 the family came to Oregon, where three years later Brother Decker fell asleep in Jesus. While relatives and friends mourn, yet we believe our sister sleeps to awake with her husband at the call of Jesus on the resurrection day.
E. W. CATLIN. MRS. BELLE EMERSON
By Mrs. Belle Emerson
BARRETT.— Lucretia Hill was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, Sept. 15, 1840, and died at her home, near Pawnee, Okla., May 13, 1914. Nov. 3, 1861, she was married to Phillip Barrett at Huntington, Ind. To this union were born eight children. Father and mother moved to Iowa in 1870, removing to Kansas two years later. Mother at that time was a devoted member of the United Brethren Church. She accepted the third angel's message in the fall of 1875, under the labors of Elders Smith Sharp and C. F. Stevens. She struggled through many difficulties to rear her family in the truth, and every child has professed Christ in this message. When her children were small, she would gather them in some appropriate place for prayer at the going down of the sun Friday and Sabbath evenings. Our mother's heart was continually reaching out to help the needy, and she had the care of motherless children even to the day of her death. She passed away without a struggle. Thus dear mother has gone to her grave to sleep until the resurrection morning, when the voice of our Lord shall call the faithful from their bed of clay. There is left to mourn their loss, her husband, six children, and one sister. THE NEW BEREAN LIBRARY

REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSN., Washington, D. C.
ORDER OF YOUR TRACT SOCIETY In this age of research, history and the Bible should be found side by side on the table of every student of the times. We are not only “making history,” but discovering it. The translations made from tablets, rolls, and statues exhumed from mounds, tombs, and buried cities, corroborate and supplement the records found in the Holy Scriptures. In “The Hand of God in History” the discoveries of the archeologist are made to emphasize the statements of Holy Writ; history is shown to have fulfilled the predictions of the prophet; and the testimony of astronomy is given on the side of history and prophecy. Much historical information is given in connection with the description of the prophetic periods of the Scriptures; the development of Christianity by eras is outlined; and the advent message is described as the finale of earth’s history, and the means of disseminating it as providential. The book has about 250 pages, and is bound in two styles. By Fannie Dickerson Chase “Good manners are best conserved by every-day usage.” If you are preparing for a life of usefulness; if you are endeavoring to make your influence count for most in good society, then you should study the new book “Good Form and Social Ethics.” Whatever his educational advantages have been, the pastor will appreciate the chapter entitled “The Minister.” To the one whose preliminary training has been limited, or whose early environment was unfavorable, “Good Form” is invaluable. Over thirty pages of the book are devoted to a chapter to “The Gentleman,” the contents of which are indicated by the subheads:— Practical Jokes
