Elder E. H. Wilbur

By George Harlow

EDWIN HYMES WILBUR was born April 2, 1869, and died May 1, 1914. When quite young he accepted Christ as his Saviour, and his life was spent in spreading the third angel's message. He was married to Miss Susan Haskell, July 21, 1902, and soon after the wedding Brother and Sister Wilbur sailed for China, arriving there Oct. 28, 1902, where they devoted their lives to the work of winning souls for the Master.

For several years Brother Wilbur's heart gave him much concern, he many times being so weak as to have fainting spells. Still he bore this affliction with great fortitude, until compelled by exhaustion to lay down his work, in Pakhoi, where he was sick for but two days, and quietly went to rest to await the call of the Life-giver.

Brother Wilbur dearly loved the advent truth, and laid down his armor in hope of seeing his Master soon. He leaves a wife and two children, father, brothers, and sister to mourn. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. E. Hipwell, of the English Episcopal Church, assisted by Mr. Pun, the Chinese evangelist of our mission.
