BROOKS.—George Brooks was born near Uniontown, Pa., Jan. 19, 1827, and died near Bay City, Oregon, Nov. 10, 1912. The last forty-three years of his life he was a firm believer in the third angel's message, and fell asleep with a bright hope of life beyond the tomb. His wife, three daughters, and a son survive. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, after which our brother was laid to rest, to await the glad morn when Jesus will call forth his sleeping children. ADOLPH JOHNSON.
MARTIN.—Died at her home in Berkeley, Cal., Sept. 26, 1912, Helen Turpin Martin, aged 19 years, 7 months, and 6 days. Death came very suddenly, but was not unexpected by those who knew her condition. She united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the age of twelve, and was a consistent Christian till the day of her death. Helen was a quiet, unassuming girl. She was a very efficient church organist, and took part in the service the Sabbath before she died. She leaves a mother and a brother to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by Elder J. O. Corliss in the presence of a large circle of sorrowing friends. A. J. SANDERSON.
BROWN.—Mrs. Eliza Ann Brown was born Feb. 27, 1845, and peacefully fell asleep Nov. 21, 1912. She spent her childhood days in eastern Ohio. At the age of thirteen, with her parents, she embraced the truths of the third angel's message during a course of meetings conducted by Elder M. E. Cornell, in a country schoolhouse. From that time she dearly loved the glorious hope of a soon-coming Saviour. April 7, 1867, Sister Eliza was joined in marriage to Brother Severre E. Brown. To this union were born four sons and six daughters. Two sons and four daughters survive their mother, also two adopted sons. All members of the family living were present at the funeral. This was a great comfort to the aged father. Of Sister Brown it may truthfully be said: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. . . . Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." The funeral services were conducted Sabbath morning before a very large concourse of people. J. W. CHRISTIAN.
