BROWNLEE.—Died at her home near Fessenden, N. D., July 9, Sarah Elizabeth Brownlee (née Taylor), aged 62 years and 11 months. She was married to Mr. Brownlee in 1863, and five children, with their father, survive to mourn their loss. About forty years ago she was converted, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Maiden Rock, Wis., remaining faithful until the end. During the last four years she suffered much, having passed through an operation and several strokes of paralysis, the last of which caused her death. The large congregation of friends and acquaintances present testified to the esteem in which she was held in the community in which she lived. The service was conducted in the Congregational church, by the writer, who based his remarks upon Rom. 8: 28 and other scriptures. F. G. SPECHT.

APPLEGATE.—Died at his home in Eagletown, Ind., May 14, 1908, of acute pneumonia, our dear father, Dr. Andrew J. Applegate, aged 80 years and 9 days. Father was converted in early life, and united with the Missionary Baptist Church. About twenty-six years ago he accepted the Sabbath message, and later united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Noblesville, Ind., of which he was a member until death. Father was a firm believer in, and lover of, the truths of the third angel's message. We mourn our loss; but we leave him in the loving care of our dear Lord, in hope of the glorious first resurrection. Father was graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine, at Louisville, Ky., and his aim was to do good to all in the fear and love of God. Funeral service was conducted by Elder Luzerne Thompson.
