Death of Elder G. K. Owen

FURTHER particulars have been received regarding the death of Elder G. K. Owen, of India, in a letter from Elder J. L. Shaw, the superintendent of that field. Brother Owen had been failing for six months. He largely lost his power of digestion and assimilation, and this, with an acute digestive trouble together with his advanced years (74), hastened the end. Brother Owen went out to the mission field eleven years ago. During all this time he never took a vacation from his work, notwithstanding the fact that the Mission Board offered to pay his way back to America. During nearly all the years he spent in India, he labored as a self-supporting missionary; and his humble, peaceful, quiet life exerted an influence for good wherever he worked. He came down to his end prepared to meet his God, and as a shock of grain fully ripened for the harvest. Surely the sympathies of all will go out to Brother and Sister Shaw in their affliction, and to the other mourning relatives and friends in different parts of the world.
