HENDERSON.—Died at Santa Ana, Cal., Dec. 2, 1907, of quick consumption, Anna May Henderson, aged 34 years. Sister Henderson was baptized June 16, 1888, and labored twelve years in the Review Office, at Battle Creek, Mich. She died as she had lived—full of faith and confidence in God. Her life had been devoted to her parents, who are left to finish the journey childless, but not hopeless. W. M. HEALEY.

RAVEY.—Died at Newburg, Wis., Nov. 12, 1907, of lockjaw, the result of a gunshot wound, Andrew Ravey, aged 53 years, 9 months, and 13 days.

GALVIN.—Died at her home near Rummells, Iowa, of meningitis, Mrs. Bertha May Galvin, aged 24 years, 8 months, and 18 days. Last May Brother and Sister Galvin were baptized, and united with the Des Moines church. She died in the faith, with the blessed assurance of a part in the first resurrection.

TIBBETS.—Died at Tell City, Ind., Nov. 23, 1907, James O. Tibbets. He was born Jan. 19, 1852, and was a member of the Christian Church until 1899, when he accepted present truth under the labors of Elder J. S. Shrock, and became a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was the father of six children, five of whom still survive; also his wife, mother, and two sisters are left to mourn his death. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to a large congregation. U. S. ANDERSON.

DAVIDSON.—Died at her home near Wapakoneta, Ohio, Nov. 18, 1907, of tuberculosis, Ada Maude Davidson, aged 23 years, 8 months, and fourteen days. When about thirteen years old, she was baptized by Elder E. J. Van Horn, and united with the Walnut Grove church, of which she was still a member at the time of her death. She was very patient and resigned to God's will. She leaves a father, mother, two sisters, one brother, and many friends to mourn their loss. We laid her to rest in Elm Grove Cemetery at St. Mary's, to await the call of the Life-giver. LILLIAN LUTZ.

JOHNSTON.—Died suddenly at her home in Boggstown, Ind., Nov. 25, 1907, of apoplexy, Sarah E. Carson Johnston. She was born in 1840, and became a charter member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Boggstown in 1886. She was well known for her kindness of heart, and was in a Bible sense “given to hospitality.” We laid her to rest in the narrow chamber of the dead with the blessed hope of soon meeting her again in the first resurrection. A large number of relatives and friends gathered at the funeral in the church, where words of comfort were spoken by the writer. ARTHUR W. BARTLETT.
