Obituaries

LEWIS.— Carrie L. Lewis was born in Iowa, Oct. 28, 1870; died at her home in Umatilla County, Ore., May 14, 1909. About twenty-five years ago she was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Boulder, Colo. Since coming to Oregon she has belonged to the Milton church. During her last illness, her confidence was in God. She asked for the prayers of his people, that if it was his will she might live to bring up her children. A husband, four children, a mother, two sisters, and other relatives mourn their loss, but are confident that she sleeps in Jesus. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Ps. 17: 15: “I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” OSCAR HILL.

VAN VRANKEN.— Catherine Van Vranken died at the home of her daughter, Mattie Jane Austin, where she had lived for over seven years. Mother Van Vranken was born in Germany, July 26, 1827, and fell asleep April 29, 1909. She came to America at about the age of fourteen, and was married to Wm. L. Foster, Sept. 19, 1865. She gave her heart to God in her early girlhood, and became a member of the United Brethren Church. She gladly accepted present truth in 1879, and was much loved by every one forming her acquaintance. She leaves two daughters. Mother was buried in the Moore (Mo.) Cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Pettibone of the United Brethren Church. He spoke words of comfort from Psalm 90 and Revelation 14. D. R. AUSTIN.

HEWITT.— Frank Hewitt was born at Upper Alton, Ill., July 26, 1861; and died of pulmonary tuberculosis at his home in Ontario, Cal., March 17, 1909. Brother Hewitt was converted, and with his wife united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Pasadena, Cal., about twenty years ago. From the beginning of his Christian experience, a deep sense of his obligation to God and to his fellow men characterized his life. In his death his family have lost a kind and loving husband and father, and the church a loyal, faithful member. He leaves a wife, two children, and one sister. We laid him to rest, with the assurance that he will awake in the resurrection morning. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder J. A. Burden. E. E. ANDROSS.

CLARK.— John Clark died at Carson City, Mich., April 5, 1909, at the age of 87 years, 3 months, and 17 days. The immediate cause of his death was Bright’s disease, from which he had suffered the last few years of his life. Brother Clark was born in Northampton, Mass., Dec. 18, 1821. In May, 1836, with his parents, three brothers, and two sisters he moved to Wood County, Ohio. April 2, 1856, he married Lucy E. Taplin. Three sons were born to them. His wife and two sons survive. In 1887 he moved to Hastings, Mich., and in 1902 came to Carson City, the present home of Sister Clark and one of their sons. From 1842 until 1875 he was a successful school-teacher. He has been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist church for fifty years. His delight was in Sabbath-school work, serving for many years as a superintendent. A large number of relatives and friends were present at the funeral services, mourning their loss, but not as those “without hope.” Brother Clark was esteemed as a Christian wherever he was known. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. J. W. HOFSTRA.

HANSEN.— Brother Peter Hansen, of Maple Valley, Wis., was born May 6, 1832, at Stahl, Denmark. In the land of his nativity he married Maren Isaacson. Five children were born to them, two boys and three girls. In religious belief he was a Lutheran until 1885, when he heard and accepted the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists. Five years ago he was baptized at the Oshkosh camp-meeting, and joined the church at Underhill. He was a faithful member until the time of his death, which occurred May 9, 1909. The cause of his death was heart failure. His wife died about five years ago. Two sons and two daughters are now living to mourn their loss. Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased, by the writer; text, Job 14: 10-15. H. W. REED.

VILE.— James Vile was born in Chittlehampton, Devonshire, England, Nov. 13, 1825, and died of general debility due to old age, at his home in Waukon, Iowa, May 3, 1909, at the age of 83 years, 5 months, 20 days. He and his wife heard the third angel’s message preached by Elder J. N. Andrews, and in December, 1861, were enrolled as charter members of the Waukon church of Seventh-day Adventists. All who knew him are unanimous in the assertion that he was a true, honest, upright man, a dependable friend and good neighbor. His was a quiet life and little known outside the sphere of daily duties. He leaves an aged wife, a daughter, a son, and other relatives to mourn. The funeral was conducted by the writer at the Waukon church, using for a Scripture text 2 Sam. 14: 14. R. E. BURKE.

McCALLIN.— Mrs. C. A. McCallin died at Plainfield, Wis., of old age and heart trouble, May 13, 1909. She was born March 6, 1839, at Portageville, N. Y. When three years of age, she, with her parents, moved to Illinois, and later to Wisconsin, where, in 1853, she was married to Joseph Douglas, who died in 1859. To this union was born one son. In 1863 she was married to Francis Roberson, who died in January, 1895. They were the parents of three daughters. In 1899 she was married to Henry McCallin, of Plainfield, Wis. He was laid to rest Jan. 1, 1906, leaving her alone in her old age. She embraced the truth of the third angel’s message about forty years ago under the labors of Elder I. Sanborn and Brother Downer, who held a series of meetings at Plainfield, Wis. She remained faithful in the message, and died in the blessed hope of a part in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. F. F. PETERSEN.

LANE.— Mrs. Elenor E. Lane, wife of Brother P. P. Lane died at her home in Worcester, Mass., of embolism with heart failure, aged sixty-four years and four months. Sister Lane, with her husband, embraced the third angel’s message about twelve years ago, and was faithful and loyal to the end. Her faith in God and this message was firm till the last. Her life was one of unselfishness, always ministering to the needs of others. For years she visited the Sumner Street jail, taking part in many of their weekly meetings, and distributing literature. It truly can be said that she fell asleep in Jesus. Sister Lane was born in Boylston, Mass., the daughter of Levi L. and Caroline E. Flagg. Besides her husband, she leaves two daughters and one son, all of Worcester. At the funeral the writer spoke words of comfort to a large gathering, assisted by Dr. Drew, pastor of the Old South Congregational church. The body was taken to Boylston for burial. CHARLES F. ULRICH.

VREELAND.— Lulu Vreeland was born in Wichita, Kan., Aug. 16, 1899, and died at Graysville, Tenn., May 11, 1909. At the early age of seven she was baptized by Elder R. M. Kilgore, and always lived a devoted Christian life, and was a faithful member of the Missionary Volunteer Society. Poor health compelled her to discontinue her nurses’ course at the sanitarium. For the last four weeks of her life she was able to communicate only by writing. The requests that her faith might not fail, and that she might have a peaceful hour in which to depart, were both granted. Her father was absent, attending the General Conference at Washington. Within thirty minutes of her death she was able to write him a farewell message, and also one to her mother and two sisters who were present, and to one absent married sister; she then calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to a large company of sympathizing friends, from Ps. 116: 15. SMITH SHARP.

Council Meeting at Mount Vernon

LAST week Elder A. G. Daniells visited Mount Vernon, Ohio, to attend a council meeting of the Columbia Union Conference Committee.

Death of Brother A. R. Henry

A COMMUNICATION received from Battle Creek, Mich., last week announced the death of Brother A. R. Henry after a sickness of about three weeks. Every means which medical skill could suggest was employed in his behalf, but without success, and he passed away on Sabbath, June ’26, after hovering between life and death for two or three days. Brother Henry was prominently connected with our work for many years, during which time he held various offices of trust, and was intimately associated with the management of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. His wife and children have our sympathy in this sad affliction that has come to them.

Northern Illinois Camp-Meeting Postponed

THE Northern Illinois camp-meeting, formerly announced for Dwight, July 8-18, is postponed, owing to inability to secure a location.

Missionary Maps of the World

The Turkish Revolution

Workers Sent to Europe and Persia

ACCOMPANYING the party returning to the German Union Conference, we understand, Brethren Henry Dirksen and Frank F. Oster, both of Walla Walla College, sailed last month for Europe, Brother Dirksen to work in the German field, Brother Oster, after a little time at Friedensau, to go on toward Persia as the objective point. We have never yet entered that land.

Brother Raymond Sails for India

THIS week Brother F. O. Raymond, of the Washington Branch Sanitarium, left Washington for New York, to sail for India. He pays his own transportation to the field in this time of shortage, and thus hastens on, the first recruit to India since the Conference. A farewell service for Brother Raymond was held at the Memorial Church the evening after the Sabbath.

Securing Protestant Magazine Subscriptions

Brother G. C. Hoskin, secretary of the Iowa Tract Society, has just sent us two lists containing eighty-three yearly subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine. He informs us that Brother John Manuel secured sixty-five of these and Brother J. E. Shively eighteen. Please note the ease with which they secured them: “These brethren have not been saving up these names for a time, as might be supposed, but they simply went out among their neighbors and friends and secured the subscriptions in a very few hours’ work.” Will you not go and do likewise among your neighbors and friends? There are many thousands of honest Protestants who will be glad to welcome to their homes such a quarterly as the Protestant Magazine.
