WEBBER.—Died at Berrien Springs, Mich., Oct. 29, 1907, of membranous croup, Royal A. Webber, aged 4 years, 5 months, and 28 days. Words can not express the deep grief we feel over the loss of our dear child, but we mourn not as those who have no hope. Little Royal was a great sufferer during his short illness, but he was very patient. The funeral was conducted by Brother J. G. Lamson, and we laid him to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery, to wait until the Saviour comes. MRS. B. S. WEBBER.

FLOWERS.—Died at Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 31, 1907, Mrs. Mary C. Flowers, aged 69 years.

A husband, three sons, a daughter, and six grandchildren remain to mourn. The funeral was held on the fifty-fourth anniversary of her marriage. Interment took place at Merrimac, Wis. Words of consolation were offered by the writer. M. N. CAMPBELL.

BUTZER.—Died at the home of his brother, Wm. A. Butzer, of Rothbury, Mich., Nov. 20, 1907, of pleura pneumonia and heart trouble, John L. Butzer, son of John A. and Christina C. Butzer, aged 68 years, 7 months, and 10 days. In his twenty-seventh year Brother Butzer accepted his dear Saviour and united with the Baptist Church, of which he was a faithful member until fourteen years ago, when he heard and accepted the third angel’s message, and changed his church connection. He served as elder in Pennsylvania, and later at Rothbury, where he was a member at the time of his death. His counsel and exhortations will be missed by the church. The deceased was a loving and devoted companion, and he leaves a faithful wife, three sons, and many relatives to mourn their loss. The remains were taken to Pennsylvania by the two sons, accompanied by the mother, for interment. Words of comfort were spoken to a large congregation of sympathizing neighbors and friends, from Ps. 115:16, by the writer. W. C. HEBNER.

In 1851 he heard and accepted the third angel’s message, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which he has since been a faithful member. Of his seven children, five are still living, and one of them, Elder W. B. White, occupies a prominent and responsible position in connection with this cause, as president of the North Pacific Union Conference. The funeral service, which was largely attended, was conducted by the writer. M. N. CAMPBELL.

She united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in August, 1902, and remained a faithful member to the day of her death. During the twelve days of the sickness preceding her death, her suffering was intense, but she bore it all with Christian fortitude, being resigned to the will of God. She was a woman of the highest Christian virtues, a faithful, devoted wife. Sister Tuttle closed her short and useful life with bright hopes of immortality when the Life-giver shall come. She leaves a husband, father, mother, five brothers, and three sisters to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 11:25. F. H. HENDERSON.

ROBINSON.—Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Raymond, near Fernwood, N. Y., Nov. 10, 1907, Albert H. Robinson, aged 84 years, 11 months, and 2 days. He was born in Vermont, but early in life came to Oswego County, N. Y., where the greater part of his life was passed. Fifty-six years ago he accepted the truths of the third angel’s message through reading. At the organization of the Mannsville church he connected with it, and was its elder for fifteen years, when he, with others, united with the Pulaski church, of Oswego County, at its organization, with which he remained till his death. In his early life in the message his home was a place of glad welcome to Elder James White and wife, J. N. Andrews, Joseph Bates, J. N. Loughborough, C. W. Sperry, S. W. Rhodes, and to others. His unswerving fidelity to the message and to the Testimonies of the spirit of prophecy are well known to those acquainted with him. He sweetly sleeps in Jesus. He was the father of five children, three of whom survive him. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. J. W. RAYMOND.
