Twelve children were born to this union, eleven of whom still live. He accepted present truth ten years ago in northern Kansas, ever living a faithful, devoted life.

Rickard. He sleeps to rise at the call of Jesus. The funeral was held in the Methodist church. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, based on 1 Cor. 15: 21-23. GEO. H. SKINNER.

CARSCALLEN.—George Edward Carscallen was born near Kingston, Ontario, March 10, 1844. He died at his home near Osnabrock, N. D., May 25, 1909, after a long illness. In February, 1908, he had a paralytic stroke, from which he never recovered, but gradually became weaker and more helpless until the end. Father accepted the Sabbath truth in 1892, under the labors of Brother W. B. Hill, and loved it until his death. During his last illness he assured us many times that he was ready to go. He was a very patient sufferer, and we believe he will have a part in the first resurrection. A companion, two sons, one daughter, and two brothers are left to mourn. Arthur, the eldest son, is a missionary in British East Africa. Brother R. Chase, assisted by the Presbyterian pastor, conducted the funeral services. We laid him to rest in the Union Cemetery at Osnabrock, to await the coming of the Life-giver. MARY CARSCALLEN.
