One of the Little Ones

Under date of April 16, Sister E. T. Nowlen, secretary of the Central American Conference, wrote from Belize, British Honduras:—

My precious little Marjorie fell asleep in Jesus this morning, after an attack of fever. Mr. Nowlen and Elder Cardey were both away in Guatemala. O, how I need your prayers!

We know these stricken parents will have the prayers of all in this sad loss, as they are battling for the truth in a dark and unhealthful region. The message came during the General Conference Committee Council, and a resolution of sympathy was sent on to Brother and Sister Nowlen. Marjorie, their only child, save two by adoption, was at the recent camp-meeting in the Bay Islands, a bright, happy little girl of seven or eight, who loved her Saviour. We thank God for the presence of the children in the mission fields, and we count little Marjorie as among that faithful band of missionaries who have fallen in the work of carrying this message to all the world. May God comfort the father and mother. We must continually give of our means to carry the message to other lands; but what are money gifts compared with the price that must be paid in lives laid down in service?
