HANNA.—Died at Wilsey, Kan., Feb. 22, 1909, of scarlet fever, Fay Hanna, the only child of Dr. and Sister C. E. Hanna, aged six years and six months. Our darling sleeps, but we sorrow not as those who have no hope. On account of the dread disease, there was only a prayer at the grave. MRS. JENNIE VORSE.

LE DUC.—Joseph Lewis, the only child of Brother and Sister Le Duc, of Mankato, Minn., died May 11, 1909, aged 1 year, 9 months, and 13 days. He had been ill for some time, yet through all his suffering he was patient. His parents laid him away, knowing that, if faithful, they will have their little treasure back at the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. A. W. KUEHL.

TORREY.—Died at his home in Pomeroy, Wash., May 7, 1909, of cancer of the bowels, Brother John V. Torrey, aged 48 years, 2 months, 10 days. Brother Torrey was born in Montezuma, Iowa, in 1861. Eleven years ago, with his wife and children, he moved to Pomeroy, where he lived until the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn. Three of the children born to this union are sleeping in the cemetery where we laid him to rest, awaiting the time when the Life-giver shall awake them all to eternal life. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Ps. 17:15. F. M. OLIVER.

BROWN.—Died in Watrousville, Mich., May 6, 1909, Elsie A. Brown. Sister Brown was born in Jasper township, Steuben County, N. Y., Aug. 2, 1860. She accepted present truth when she was twenty-three years old, while attending the academy at Canisteo, N. Y. Soon after, she became a Bible worker, laboring for several years in the missions at Olean, Williamsport, and Philadelphia. In 1893 she entered the training-school for missionary nurses at the Battle Creek (Mich.) Sanitarium. In 1897 Sister Brown was thrown from a street-car in Chicago, sustaining injuries from which she never fully recovered; but in 1899 she went South, and was engaged in mission work for seventeen months in Alabama. Returning from the South, she served as nurse in the sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich., and also at the Washington (D. C.) Sanitarium. She always seemed to delight in ministering to the wants of others. Her only desire was that the Lord might use her for his glory. But she now rests for a season, until the Life-giver comes, when she will come forth clad in immortality. She leaves four brothers, two sisters, and a large number of friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the Methodist minister. She was then placed on board the cars, and taken to Canisteo, N. Y., to be laid by the side of her father and mother. W. H. WILBER.
