FUNG.—Mrs. Edith Orchid Fung was born in New York, April 29, 1888, and died in Hongkong, China, April 15, 1914. When she was quite young, she came to China with her father, Mr. Der A. Wing, who settled in Macau. After spending some years here, she was married to Edward Mow Fung. One child, a little girl, was born to them. In 1912 Mrs. Fung became interested in the advent message through Brother S. A. Nagel's efforts to spread the truth in Hongkong. About one year later, or in 1913, she joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She bore her long illness with great patience. She died in hope of the resurrection. Her husband and child, father and mother, brothers and sisters, are left to mourn. The funeral services were conducted in the cemetery chapel by the writer. George Harlow.

NASH.—Died at Long Lake, Minn., June 23, 1914, George Robert Nash, son of Leon and May Brown Nash, aged 17 months. Little George was the sunshine of the home, and his sudden death came as a great shock to his parents, but they are comforted in their hour of bereavement by the Christian's hope. Geo. M. Brown.

BUHALTS.—Charles Theodore Buhalts was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, Nov. 18, 1835, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. J. Boyd, near Huntsville, Ala., April 27, 1914. In 1865 he was married to Marie Christiana Hammann. To them were born eleven children, nine of whom are living. The second son, Elder C. J. Buhalts, is president of the West Texas Conference. Brother Buhalts was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He first became acquainted with the doctrines held by this people through the preaching of Brethren C. M. Gardner and B. E. Nicola, at West Grove, Iowa, in 1894. Becoming convinced of the truthfulness of the message, he hastened to obey. He was ever faithful to the truth he had espoused. Hoping to be benefited by a change from the rigorous cold of the Dakotas, he came to Huntsville, Ala., in January, 1913, where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Boyd. His faith was firm to the end. We hope to meet him in the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by the writer. T. H. Jeys.

LEGG.—James Milton Legg died at Waldron, Ill., June 9, aged nearly eighty-nine years. He was born in Kentucky, and moved to Indiana when young. In 1847 he was married to Louisa M. Harden, who passed away nine years ago. Seven children were born to them, six of whom survive. In 1852 he moved near to Kankakee, where he afterward resided, except for a short time spent in California. Brother Legg received present truth forty years ago, under the labors of Elder T. M. Stewart, who held a series of meetings in his district, known as Leggtown. He witnessed the falling of the stars in 1833, and was ever after impressed that it was a warning that the end of the world is near. The blessed hope of Christ's returning was his constant joy. He hoped to live to see the Lord come. He leaves a good record, and was beloved by old and young. Brother Legg was a faithful attendant at the Sabbath meetings. He lived beyond the allotted time of man, but we trust his extra days were to the honor and glory of God. The funeral services were based upon John 6:44. G. E. Langdon.
