C. D. and C. L. HALL.
LYNDHOLM.—Died at South Bend, Minn., June 4, 1905, of kidney trouble, Brother John Lyndholm, aged 69 years. Several years ago Brother Lyndholm accepted the truths of the message, to which he was loyal until death. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 30: 5, last clause.

C. C. LEWIS.
MORRISON.—Died at Charlotte, Mich., May 25, 1905, of apoplexy, Henry Morrison, aged 90 years, 4 months, and 13 days. When a young man, he started in the Christian life, and united with the Methodist Church. In the year 1881 he heard and accepted the doctrines and faith of the Seventh-day Adventists. He had a bright experience a few hours before death, which brought peace and blessing to all in the home. He leaves an aged infirm companion, an only daughter, and one sister to mourn their loss.
I. D. VAN HORN.
GREENE.—Died at Ashaway, R. I., May 24, 1905, my mother, Mrs. Nancy M. Greene, aged 73 years, 2 months, and 11 days. She was not ill at the time of her death, but passed quietly away while sitting sewing. She accepted the third angel’s message thirty-eight years ago, and has ever been a firm believer in, and a staunch upholder of, the truth she loved so well. Her life was one of sacrifice and unselfish love for others. At the funeral services G. E. Fifield spoke encouraging words to the relatives and friends from 2 Cor. 5: 1.
JAMES B. GREENE.
COOPER.—Died at the home of his son, Dr. O. R. Cooper, Banfield, Mich., June 12, 1905, Samuel Winter Cooper, Jr., aged 66 years, 4 months, and 13 days. Brother Cooper united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Battle Creek, Mich., nearly thirty years ago, and lived a consistent Christian life. He was a good neighbor, a kind and loving husband and father. For twenty-four years he was in the employ of the Review and Herald Publishing Co. He is survived by his wife and only child, the son at whose home he passed away. Two years ago he had a very severe illness with heart-disease which was the immediate cause of his death. Sister Cooper is the oldest daughter of the late Elder J. B. Frisbie. The funeral services were held at Battle Creek, being conducted by the writer, and burial was made in Oak Hill Cemetery. The last few weeks of Brother Cooper’s life were marked by increasing faith and trust in the Lord. We believe he rests in hope of a part in the first resurrection.
G. W. MORSE.
HUNSAKER.—Died in San Francisco, Cal., May 29, 1905, Mrs. Mary Waite Hunsaker, aged 65 years, 9 months, and 20 days. She was a devoted Christian for more than thirty years and during the last few years of her life was a believer in the third angel’s message, having been led to accept present truth by reading the Bible and other literature. She leaves to mourn her death a devoted husband and four sons and two daughters. Words of comfort were spoken from Ps. 17: 15.
CHARLES N. MILLER.
WILSON.—Died suddenly at his home near McKinley, Coos Co., Ore., June 8, 1905, of congestion of the lungs, E. L. Wilson, aged 68 years. Brother Wilson was a member of the Gravelford church of Seventh-day Adventists. His loyalty to the truth and the high esteem of all his neighbors are unfailing evidences of what the church and the neighborhood have lost. He has no relatives in this State so far as known, and much uncertainty exists as to the whereabouts of his kindred. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Brother O. S. Coleman; text, Isa. 57: 1.
W. H. BUNCH.
FORD.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. L. Aldrich, Hickory Corners, Mich., June 12, 1905, of pneumonia, Mrs. Ada J. Ford, aged 49 years, 11 months, and 10 days. She was a believer in the faith of the third angel’s message for many years, and was a member of the Burlington, Mich., Seventh-day Adventist church. Her life was one of much trial and suffering. Her peace was made with God, and she died trusting the Saviour. Two daughters, both married, mourn the loss of a loving mother. “The Master is come and calleth for thee,” was the text of the funeral discourse, given by the writer.
G. W. MORSE.
SHAFFER.—Died in Vallejo, Cal., June 3, 1905, Angelia Shaffer, aged 55 years and 6 months. She had walked in the truth about eighteen years. She came lately from San Luis Obispo County seeking restoration to health. When the attending physician gave her up, at her request the instruction in James was followed in submission to God’s will. The Spirit of God rested down richly and shouts of glory and triumph sprang from her lips. She rallied to greet the loved ones, and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus just at the close of the Sabbath. A husband, three sons, and a daughter are left to sorrow in hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer.
JESSE D. RICE.
KELLOGG.—Died at Greenfield, Mass., May 30, 1905, Sarah E., wife of Brother Arthur S. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich., aged 50 years, 11 months, and 9 days. Brother and Sister Kellogg and his aged father were spending a few weeks in Massachusetts, visiting relatives, when Sister Kellogg was taken ill with appendicitis. Since early life Sister Kellogg was a devoted, consistent Christian. She was a deaconess in the Battle Creek church at the time of her death. She was a firm believer in the truths of the third angel’s message, and died in the full triumph of faith. In returning to Battle Creek for burial a stop was made at Flint, Mich., the birthplace of the deceased, where, on June 2, a short service was held with the relatives and friends. The next day, Sabbath, the funeral was held at the Tabernacle in Battle Creek, and interment was made in Oak Hill Cemetery. In accordance with a request made by Sister Kellogg just before she died, the writer conducted the service.

Death of Elder D. T. Bourdeau
By Editor
In this number will be found the last of the reports and papers presented at the recent General Conference, and we shall return next week to our usual make-up. We are gratified by the assurances received from brethren in the field that the plan of reporting the conference in the REVIEW has proved generally satisfactory to our people. We know that the meeting was reported faithfully, and just as fully as our increased space would permit, and we have taken pleasure in doing this without additional cost to our regular subscribers.
The following telegram, sent from Grand Rapids, Mich., on Friday, was received by Elder A. G. Daniells last Sabbath morning:—
Father died to-day in bright hope. Funeral Sunday, at Tabernacle.
PATIENCE S. BOURDEAU.
Thus death has claimed another of those faithful ministers of the Word who has long been connected with this advent movement, Elder D. T. Bourdeau. This announcement will cause sincere sorrow to many of our readers who have known and loved Brother Bourdeau. A sketch of the life and labors of the deceased will appear in our next issue.
An Appeal for Nashville
By Editor
IN last week's issue of the REVIEW, Elder George I. Butler, the president of the Southern Union Conference, made a full statement concerning the providential circumstances which have made it possible to secure a good church building in the city of Nashville, Tenn., at a price far below the actual cost of the property; and in harmony with the recommendation of the General Conference Committee an appeal was made for donations in order to provide the required amount, five thousand dollars. Having visited Nashville several times, and being personally acquainted with the conditions under which our brethren have been placed as far as a house of worship is concerned, and also having some knowledge of the local financial situation, we are prepared to unite heartily in the appeal to our brethren and sisters throughout the field to render the needed assistance. We know that many of our churches in the different States have no suitable house of worship, and that it would be quite natural to reason that they should provide for their own needs first, but we ask all to consider the necessity of having this cause properly represented in such centers of influence as Nashville, and to remember that it is by occupying just such strategic positions that the whole work is most rapidly advanced. If we all delayed making any donations to this cause until our own needs were all supplied, the amount available for sending the message to needy fields would be greatly reduced, and we ourselves would lose the blessing which comes from self-sacrifice. The growth of our work and the burden laid upon us to proclaim this message speedily in every land demand constant calls for means, but this is an encouraging feature of this movement. If nothing were being done, there would be no necessity of appealing for funds. We appreciate the fact that our people have realized this, and that they have responded heroically to the calls for help, and this inspires confidence that they will not turn a deaf ear to this urgent appeal from the South. The whole amount must be paid by the first of October, and prompt action is therefore necessary. Donations may be sent to the treasurer of the General Conference, or to the Southern Publishing Association, 1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn. In either case be sure to state the purpose for which the donation is intended.
Daniells Travels to Europe
LAST Sunday evening Elder A. G. Daniells left Washington for New York City, expecting to sail from there on the 4th inst. for Europe, to attend the later camp-meetings and general meetings in the General European Conference. The first of these meetings will be the Latin Union Conference at Gland, Switzerland, July 11-16. Elder Daniells plans to return to America in September.
Holser Returns to Switzerland
Mrs. E. N. Holser has accepted an invitation to return to the work in Switzerland, and, accompanied by her daughter Olive, she sailed from New York on Tuesday of this week. Sister Holser's acquaintance with the language and customs of the country, acquired by a long residence there before the death of her husband, Elder H. P. Holser, gives her a great advantage in taking up the work in that field.
Sunday Law Attempt in France
The report on the nineteenth page from Brother John Vuilleumier, the editor of the French Signs of the Times, relating to the attempt to pass a Sunday law in the French Chamber of Deputies, is of special interest. It illustrates the benefit of having witnesses for the truth in every country, and especially in the centers of influence. Every effort to exalt the false sabbath should thus be made an opportunity to present the truth.
Views of the Holy Land
By Editor
WE have desired to make such a use of our first page as to both please and benefit our readers. Some have been kind enough to say that they have obtained new views of the connection between the natural and the spiritual by the nature scenes and the accompanying interpretations which have appeared from time to time. Others have expressed their satisfaction when the first page was used to set prominently before the people the law of God and the plain teaching of the Scripture concerning the Sabbath. Still others have made different suggestions as to the most profitable use of this space. It is evident that no one plan would suit all classes of our readers, but we hope by varying the matter to satisfy as many as possible. We begin this week the publication of a series of views of scenery in the holy land, accompanied by a brief historical statement. Those who wish to preserve these pictures can thus provide themselves with views of many places whose names have been made familiar to them by frequent mention in the Scriptures. The present series will probably include from ten to fifteen views.
Correction on Christ’s Object Lessons Receipts
IN the report of the Atlantic Union Conference which appeared in the REVIEW of June 15, it was stated that the cash received on the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” had amounted to $43,537.48. This was a mistake; the correct amount is $32,537.48. We regret this error, which was no fault of the writer of the report.
Washington, D. C
By J. S. Washburn
THE famous emancipation monument, a picture of which was published on the first page of the REVIEW of June 8, is situated in one of the pleasantest parks of Washington, Lincoln Park. Within two minutes' walk of this park and in the sight of the monument a tent has been erected in southeast Washington, where, thus far, but very little if any work has been done in the way of holding meetings. This is a very pleasant, homelike part of the city, with an excellent class of people. Our first meeting was held on Thursday evening, June 29, and the prospect for a successful series of meetings is very encouraging. We ask our brethren and sisters to pray that the Lord may do a great spiritual work here in Washington. He has greatly blessed in providing means for the building up of his institutions. Now we pray that he may still more significantly manifest the power of the truth of the third angel's message to convert and to save.
The Washington fund at the end of last week had reached the amount of $105,247.37. We pray that every reader of the REVIEW may realize the importance of quickly providing the means to build our publishing house here in this city. Remember that not one cent of the Washington fund up to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars has been applied to the building of the Review and Herald office. If every subscriber to the REVIEW would send one dollar at once for this purpose, the fund would be immediately supplied, and there are certainly those who would be glad to do more than this to make up for those who do not feel able to give even so small an amount. We believe the work is only fairly begun in this city. The fact that the great peace conference between Japan and Russia is to be held here will bring Washington before the eyes of the world. More than ever before, Washington is becoming a city that is set upon an hill. May the light shine here with true and clear radiance. J. S. WASHBURN.
