Johnson, Oct. 5, 1867, at Cleveland, Ohio, and to this union were born six children, five of whom mourn the loss of a faithful mother. She accepted present truth in 1876, ever remaining a consistent Christian until her death. For many years she was connected with the Sabbath-school work in Battle Creek church, and her greatest joy in life consisted in giving and working for the advancement of the third angel's message. Following the death of her husband in Omaha, Neb., in December, 1907, she came to Petoskey, where she resided until her death. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. E. A. BRISTOL.

BROWN.— Died at Sanitarium, Cal., July 31, 1908, of typhoid fever and complications, Evert A. Brown, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. Although reared in the faith of the Seventh-day Adventist people, he never made an open profession of Christianity until the time of his last illness. However, during the closing hours of his life, he seemed to catch the thought of surrender to God, and his loved ones hope to meet him again. Four sisters and four brothers mourn his loss.

WHALEY.— Fell asleep in Jesus on July 19, 1908, Brother S. P. Whaley, of Marlow, Ala., aged 80 years, 11 months, and 17 days. About four years ago Brother Whaley heard and accepted the third angel's message, and has since observed the Sabbath, and prayed the Lord to send his servant to further instruct and baptize him. At the opportune time God discovered him to the Marlow church of Seventh-day Adventists, and in answer to his request he was baptized July 14, 1908, just three days before his death. Not able to move, he was carried into the waters of Turkey Branch, on a cot, and so baptized. The funeral service was conducted on Sabbath, July 18, 1908, by Albert F. Prieger and Brother R. I. Keate. O. A. PRIEGER.

TIMM.— Drowned, July 18, 1908, while bathing in a pond in San Pasqual, Cal., Walter Timm, sixteen years of age, only surviving son of Lewis and Augusta Timm. Walter had been a helper at our home for several months, and was a bright, cheerful boy, faithful in every duty, and beloved by all who knew him. His heart-broken parents and sister have the sympathy of the surrounding community, far and near, in this distressing bereavement. We fully believe that in the glad day when Jesus comes, he will be restored by angels to the arms of his parents, with the brother and sister who are sleeping. The funeral service was held in the Adventist church at Escondido, Elder Wm. Healey conducting the service. MRS. FLORENCE W. JOHNSON.

Addie was a faithful child, and leaves many friends and relatives to mourn. A private funeral, conducted by the writer, was held at the cemetery at five o'clock on the day she died.

The husband and two children, with other relatives and friends, are left to mourn. H. SHULTZ.

Sister Farrar embraced present truth several years ago, and was a member of the Detroit Seventh-day Adventist church at the time of her death.

There was no indication of the least struggle. He was a member of the Quicksburg church for twenty-eight years. He leaves a wife, three children, and many friends, to mourn.

LAY.— Elizabeth L. Lay, wife of the late Geo. T. Lay, died in Allegan, Mich., June 29, 1908, aged 73 years, 4 months, and 18 days. In her death the Seventh-day Adventist church of Allegan County has lost another of the pioneers of Adventism in that part of the State. Funeral service was conducted by the writer, at her home in Allegan, and then we laid her to rest by the side of her husband in the Monterey Township Cemetery, where rest also Elders Joseph Bates, H. M. Kenyon, and other pioneers of the cause in which we are engaged. May we be ready to meet them when it is finished. A family of children and grandchildren is bereft of a mother whose quiet and amiable life was best known in her own home. M. B. MILLER.
