WASHINGTON.—Died in Woodland, Cal., April 2, 1908, Sister Dorothy Washington, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. In 1872 she first heard and accepted the Adventist faith, and was henceforth loyal to the truth. She was always cheerful in life, patient in her suffering, and died in full assurance of having a part in the first resurrection. A number of relatives and a host of friends remain to mourn. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. C. E. LELAND.

EMERY.—Died in Boulder, Colo., Oct. 15, 1907, Gladys I. Emery, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Emery, aged 10 years and 15 days. She was baptized two years ago, uniting with the Boulder church, and although so young, manifested the true worth of a Christian life. F. M. WILCOX.

DOW.—Died in San Diego, Cal., April 6, 1908, Mariam M. Dow, wife of H. A. Dow, aged 50 years, 3 months, and 20 days. She was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Battle Creek, Mich., April 14. The funeral service, held at the home of the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Lucy Kelsey, was conducted by the writer, assisted by M. B. Miller. S. D. HARTWELL.

OSBORNE.—Died at his home in Alaiedon, Mich., April 10, 1908, Brother Leonard Osborne, aged 73 years. He accepted present truth in 1867, and was a faithful member of, and earnest worker in, the church till he died. His unfailing kindness and genuine Christian spirit won for him a host of friends. He is survived by his wife, one son, two brothers, and three sisters. The funeral service was held at the Alaiedon church, which was filled to its utmost capacity. E. K. SLADE.

PENDLEY.—Died at Avinger, Tex., March 24, 1908, from a relapse of pneumonia, Sister Pendley, aged 39 years, 8 months, and 12 days. She had been a faithful Seventh-day Adventist for twenty years. Husband and children are left without her presence and counsels, to press on for a little time, assured that if they are faithful they will soon meet the companion and mother. The new church building was filled with sympathizing friends as the blessed hope was presented with its comforting assurances. We laid her to rest beside a sleeping child in the new cemetery near the Avinger church, March 25. CLARENCE SANTEE.

HARRISON.—Died near Delta, Pa., Feb. 23, 1908, of tuberculosis, Sister Lucretia Harrison, who was born in Pennsylvania, in 1844. While still a young girl, she gave her heart to God, uniting with a First-day Adventist church. Her Christian experience was marked by faithfulness and devotion until the day of her death. The closing weeks of her life were ones of special blessing. The last Sabbath of her life was a day in which her soul seemed full of the peace that passeth understanding; and as she named over her brethren and sisters in prayer, she seemed to feel that her work was done. After the Lord took her own little one, she gave loving and faithful care to three other children in need. Two of these, with her husband, remain to mourn their loss. After a service based on Rev. 14:13, conducted by the writer, we laid her away to rest, confident that if faithful we shall meet her at the first resurrection. B. F. KNEELAND.

BOVEE.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., March 13, 1908, Sister Eliza Waggoner Bovee, aged 75 years, 7 months, and 9 days. She was one of a family of eleven children, of whom five still abide at the present date, one sister being present at the funeral. In early life Sister Waggoner was a school-teacher. At the age of eighteen she was converted; her early experience was a remarkable one, and her later religious life was remarkable in this respect,—that her course was ever onward and upward. In 1858, at Gilboa, Ohio, hearing a course of lectures by Elder M. E. Cornell, she fully accepted the truth. After accepting the views of the Sabbath-keeping Adventists, she labored in the Review and Herald Publishing House for a number of years. Oct. 7, 1862, she was united in marriage to Brother Orrin Primer Bovee, of Mendon, Mich. As the fruit of this union five children were born, three sons and two daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral except one son now residing in Pasadena, Cal. Some three weeks before the end came, our sister was attacked with a complication of diseases, which carried her beyond the reach of human aid. Her departure was calm and peaceful. The funeral service was conducted at the residence, by the writer, where a large number of old friends and neighbors assembled to pay their last respects to the deceased. The interment took place at Mendon, where by the side of her husband she lies awaiting the sound of the trumpet which will call the dead into a life that knows no end. G. W. AMADON.

WATTS.—Died at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. L. Whirry, at McMinnville, Ore., March 8, 1908, Miss Alma Watts, aged 21 years and 7 months. Sister Watts was converted when she was seven years old. About six years ago she, with her parents, embraced the present truth. She was a devoted Christian, earnest in the faith of the soon coming of the Lord. The funeral was held at the Baptist church on Sabbath, March 14. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18, assisted by the pastor of the Baptist church. DANIEL NETTLETON.

McKAY.—Died at her home in Ellicottville, N. Y., March 15, 1908, Sister J. C. McKay. She was born in Genesee County, N. Y., April 8, 1830. In 1879 Elder D. T. Fero held a tent effort in their village, and Brother William Arnold, our well-known bookman, and Mrs. McKay, his mother, accepted the truth. Since that time, she has devoted her life to the message by doing what she could for its advancement. Sister McKay had been poorly since New-Year’s day. She chose John 11:25 as the basis of remarks at her funeral. The little church near her home, which she was instrumental in building, was well filled with acquaintances and friends. Funeral discourse by the writer. H. W. CARR.

LANE.—Died at Montrose, Pa., March 15, 1908, Walter Freeman Lane, aged 31 years, 10 months, and 19 days. Through reading a tract, he began the observance of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath, and later identified himself fully with Seventh-day Adventists. During the last few months of his life, his home was at Binghamton, N. Y., where his association with those of like faith was highly appreciated. He was a printer by trade. His wife died six months before his death, leaving him with the responsibility of caring for small children, and to meet alone the burden of adverse financial circumstances. During his last sickness, physicians thought he might be suffering from appendicitis, but a surgical operation revealed internal abscesses of long standing. He made a most impressive prayer before going on the operating table, and left the unmistakable evidence of acceptance with God, and that it was truly blessed to die in the Lord. L. T. NICOLA.

HEALD.—Thomas T. Heald was born at Wheeling Creek, Ohio, Dec. 10, 1825, and died of old age, April 8, 1908, aged 83 years and 4 months. In 1849 he came overland to California, settled on a farm eight miles down the Russian River. Later on, for a number of years, he lived in Guerneville, where he was engaged in the redwood lumber trade. In 1890 he came to Healdsburg, where he has since resided. Brother Heald was married in 1860, and was the father of six children, three of whom died in childhood. His daughter Amelia died March 2 of the present year. A son, Dr. G. H. Heald, resides in Washington, D. C., and a daughter, Dr. Henrietta Brighouse, resides in Healdsburg. Brother Heald’s early religious experience was with the Presbyterians. On coming to California, as there was no Presbyterian church near him, he joined the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1887, as the result of perusing reading-matter placed in his hands by his son, he accepted the views of Seventh-day Adventists, and took his public stand with us at a camp-meeting held in Oakland in 1887. He has ever been earnest in his influence, and with his means to advance the cause of present truth. He passed quietly to his rest, with firm faith in the God of his salvation. The funeral service was conducted in Healdsburg on April 10, Elder N. C. McClure and the writer officiating. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.

REAMAN.—Died at his home near Sandyville, Warren Co., Iowa, April 16, 1908, of pneumonia, Brother Noah R. Reaman, aged 72 years, 2 months, and 18 days. In 1894 he embraced the doctrines held by Seventh-day Adventists, and died in that faith, though he was not identified with any local church. He suffered intensely during his sickness, but bore it patiently. Comforting words were spoken from Job 14:14, by the writer. M. W. LEWIS.

ROSS.—Died at Titusville, Pa., Feb. 25, 1908, of dropsy and other complications, George Ross, aged nearly eighty-two years. Brother Ross was born in England. Seventeen years ago he accepted the third angel’s message, and has lived during these years a true follower of Christ, looking forward to the glorious appearing of our blessed Saviour. A number of children survive, most of them rejoicing in the truth. Brother Ross was laid to rest by the side of his loved companion at Jefferson, Ohio, to await the call of the Life-giver. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. I. N. WILLIAMS.

WALWORTH.—Died at his home at Hillsdale, Mich., Feb. 20, 1908, of paralysis, Erastus Walworth, aged 79 years, 7 months, and 11 days. Brother Walworth embraced present truth in 1856, under the labors of Elders Bates, Waggoner, and Cornell. He was one of the charter members of the Hillsdale church, and remained faithful unto death. Although a great sufferer from rheumatism, he was patient. His hope in the soon coming of the Lord was bright. We believe that he sleeps in Jesus. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13. C. N. SANDERS.

BUTLER.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., April 3, 1908, Elder T. J. Butler, in the eighty-first year of his age. Elder Butler was born Jan. 18, 1828, near Coshocton, Ohio, and was reared in a Christian home. Early in life he identified himself with the Disciples Church. His higher education was obtained at Oberlin College, where he studied with the ministry in view. Upon finishing his course he took the principalship of the schools of Gilboa, Ohio, and was at the same time superintendent of public instruction for the State. At this time, in 1855, he was married to Lavinia Stout. To them were born seven children, four of whom reached mature age, and with his faithful wife survive him. In 1857 while Elder Butler was engaged in school work, and acting as elder of his church, word came from Elders M. E. Cornell and G. W. Holt that they were coming to that town to proclaim the Sabbath truth. Realizing that he would be called upon to defend the observance of the first day of the week, Brother Butler began at once by study to fortify himself for the expected attack. The result was that before the ministers reached the place, he was observing the seventh-day Sabbath according to the commandment. He then received heartily the truths which accompanied the Sabbath message and began to get ready to proclaim them, which he did with power and acceptance. Early last autumn he removed to Battle Creek, Mich., with the thought of spending the remainder of his days near his daughters, Mrs. A. J. Read, and Mrs. Gail Clements. With his wife and son Charles he spent the winter here. Although Elder Butler was in feeble health, the end came suddenly and unexpectedly after an illness of but two days, caused by uremic poisoning. In his sufferings he gave expression to the inward peace and joy he felt in the Saviour’s love. He claimed a glorious victory, and died happy in Jesus. His faithful life and adherence to what he believed to be right, and his loving devotion to his family, make his memory blessed to his loved ones, who are cheered in their sorrow with the recollection of his godly life, and particularly with his latest and happiest experience. Funeral service was conducted at the residence of Mrs. Clements by Elder L. McCoy. G. C. TENNEY.

Missionary Volunteers and Liberty

It is now proposed that our Missionary Volunteer Societies in every State and Territory take up the work of supplying Liberty to all the business men in their respective communities. Some are doing this already, and the results are good. Let every leader of such societies take up the matter without delay, that there may be one vigorous, united movement throughout the whole country just now, when such a work is so urgently demanded by the crisis before us.

At the recent council it was recommended that Elder E. E. Andross, president of the British Union Conference, remain in this country, inasmuch as the health of Sister Andross demanded an immediate change of climate. She will spend some time recuperating in the West. It was recommended that Elder W. J. Fitzgerald, president of the Columbia Union, take the presidency of the British Union, and that Elder Andross take the presidency of the Columbia Union.

The Burdens Return to Japan

A LETTER from Brother W. D. Burden reports that he and his wife sailed from San Francisco, April 14, for Japan. These workers have been on furlough, and now return to resume work in the Japanese field.

Elder Olsen’s Journey to Tahiti

ELDER O. A. OLSEN, the president of the Australasian Union Conference, who attended the recent council of the General Conference Committee, left Washington last week on his way to San Francisco, from which port he will sail for Tahiti, where he will join some of the island workers in council. Elder Olsen will make brief stops at several places on his way to the Pacific Coast.

Vegetarian Banquet in Washington

A VEGETARIAN banquet was given by the Washington Health Club on Wednesday evening, April 29. Drs. D. H. Kress and Lauretta Kress, of the Washington Sanitarium, were present and spoke of the relation existing between the free use of flesh and disease. This banquet was the first public one given by vegetarians in Washington. Instead of wine, pure water was used in drinking all toasts.

ON April 30 Dr. R. S. Ingersoll and family, and Mrs. S. J. Olney, sailed from New York for Liverpool.

Dr. Ingersoll has been very busily engaged in post-graduate work in Chicago during his stay in America, and now expects to take the examinations in England to secure British qualifications for medical practise.

Porter Appointed to South Africa

THE General Conference Committee has invited Elder R. C. Porter, of the Southwestern Union, to take the presidency of the South African Union Conference, releasing Elder W. S. Hyatt, who has held that position for quite a number of years. Brother and Sister Porter have accepted the appointment to Africa, and expect soon to be on their way to that field. They were advised to go by way of the Pacific, in order to catch a brief glimpse of the work in Honolulu, Fiji, and Australia, the western route being a very direct one to South Africa.

Sunday Closing of Poolrooms

LAST week Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Senate Committee of the District of Columbia, introduced in the Senate a bill to amend the law relating to billiard- and pool-rooms, in which there is a provision that they shall be closed twenty-four hours on Sunday. All incorporated clubs conducting pool tables for profit or for a nominal membership will also be required to close on Sunday. Although only a limited number of persons are affected by the provisions of this bill, it yet involves the same question of making a distinction between Sunday and other days of the week which is found in all Sunday bills.

Growing Orders for Our Magazines

By Editor

SOME large orders have recently been received for our two magazines. One letter from California called for 10,000 copies of the May number of Life and Health, 5,000 copies being for use at the California camp-meeting; and 5,000 copies of the current number of Liberty were also ordered for the same meeting. In addition to this, the Fresno (Cal.) church placed an order for 1,167 copies of Liberty. A number of single orders for 1,000 copies each of the May number of Life and Health and a goodly number of orders of 500 each have come to hand. The first edition of Life and Health for May was 35,000 copies, and it will be necessary to order a second edition at once. The first edition of the present number of Liberty was 50,000 copies. These facts indicate what may be expected when our people make a united effort in behalf of our periodicals.
