Holbrook.—Died at the home of his sister, in Dayton, Tenn., Dec. 24, 1907, Brother Roland Holbrook. He was born in Boston, Mass., May 25, 1887. He was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Lexington, Ky., for nearly six years, and died in hope of meeting his Saviour when he comes. B. T. Walker.

Morrison.—Died at Beatrice, Neb., Dec. 4, 1907, of cancer of the bowels, Jerry L. Morrison, aged 58 years, 11 months, and 15 days. Brother Morrison was a native of Pennsylvania, but had lived in Wisconsin and Iowa and for the last twenty-five years made his home in Nebraska. He was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist faith about fifteen years ago, and became a member of the Beatrice church at its organization. He had suffered much for a year, but was confined to his bed only two months. He was of good courage in the Lord. He leaves a wife, a son, and three daughters, an aged mother, two brothers, and two sisters to mourn their loss. We miss our brother much, but we expect to meet him when Jesus comes. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. E. A. Curtis.

Burke.—Died at Brainard, Minn., Dec. 16, 1907, of internal injuries resulting from a fall about two weeks previously, Mrs. Emma Burke. We laid her to rest beside her husband, who had been buried just two weeks before, in the Henry Cemetery, near Red Lodge, Mont. Two children are left to mourn the loss of both parents. J. C. Foster.

Hundley.—Died at Red Lodge, Mont., Dec. 25, 1907, Mrs. Jennie Hundley. Sister Hundley united with the church at Battle Creek, Mich., about thirteen years ago and has remained faithful until death. For some years she has not been strong but labored on and did all that a loving mother could do to keep her children together and bring them up in the fear of the Lord. J. C. Foster.

Parks.—Died at the home of her daughter, at Flint, Mich., Nov. 14, 1907, Catherine Parks, aged 70 years, 7 months, and 29 days. She was buried at Otter Lake, Mich., where she had lived for the last thirty years. She was a quiet, devoted Christian, beloved by all who knew her. In her death the church has lost a faithful member. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 6:63, a text chosen by the deceased. B. F. Stureman.

Kinney.—Died at his home in Natchez, Wash., Nov. 17, 1907, Brother D. F. Kinney, aged 62 years. At the age of seventeen he started in the Christian life, and ever since has been a faithful follower of the Lord. All who knew him mourn the loss of one who ever stood ready to help in the time of need. We believe that he will awake in the first resurrection. A wife, one son, one daughter, three grandchildren, five brothers, and one sister survive him. E. W. Catlin.

Bodden.—Died in Utila, Spanish Honduras, Dec. 14, 1907, after an illness of three days, Sadie, daughter of Brother and Sister J. A. Bodden, aged fourteen years. She was loved by all who knew her, and was a great help in the home to her semi-invalid mother. Knowing that she was soon to pass away, she asked for prayer. Brother Bodden was among those who accepted the truth here years ago, and is one of the few who have remained faithful. Funeral service was held in the Methodist church, where words of comfort were spoken. C. E. Morgan.

Lamberton.—Died at his home in Marshfield, Vt., Oct. 13, 1907, Henry C. Lamberton, aged 61 years. He accepted present truth in 1878 under the labors of Elder A. S. Hutchins and co-laborers, and lived a consistent Christian life up to the time of his death. During the last few weeks of his illness he was often heard repeating the twenty-third psalm, or portions of it, which seemed especially comforting to him. He was loved and respected by many relatives and friends. Our loved one is laid away to rest until the resurrection of the just, when we believe he will come forth to receive the reward of the faithful. Words of comfort were spoken by Rev. Fiske (Congregationalist). *

Steiner.—Died at his home in Bedford County, near Bedford City, Va., Dec. 26, 1907, of ulcer of the liver, Brother Rudolph Steiner. He was born in Quilebach, Switzerland, in 1867, and came to this country in 1896. Here he learned of the third angel’s message, and in 1901 took a firm stand for the truth, of which he continued to be a staunch supporter until death. He leaves a wife and three small children, and other relatives here and in Switzerland. A large congregation assembled in the M. E. church to pay respects to one they believed to be a true child of God. We confidently expect to meet our brother when the voice of Christ awakens the sleeping saints. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13. L. L. French.
