HALL.—Died at his home in Hildebran, N. C., of a complication of diseases, Brother Augustus E. Hall, aged 64 years, 8 months, and 8 days. He was for many years a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Mansville, N. Y., but for the past seven years has lived in North Carolina. He died in the faith, and we trust will have the overcomer's reward. A wife and daughter are left to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. ALBERT CAREY.
MOREY.—Edsell, infant son of Brother and Sister E. A. Morey, was born June 25, 1908, and died Sept. 8, 1908, at Wichita, Kan., aged two months and thirteen days. We laid him away in the beautiful Wichita Cemetery to await the coming of the Life-giver to bring him from the land of the enemy. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Jer. 31:15, 16. H. E. KIRK.
CARMAN.—Died of tuberculosis at Riversdale, Jamaica, B. W. I., June 18, 1908, Lector Ethel Carman, aged twenty-eight years. She came with E. C. and Mrs. Cushman to Jamaica, hoping to regain her health, but was disappointed. Her pleasant smile and cheerful words blessed all with whom she came in contact. She longed to live to see the Saviour come, but since that was denied her, she found comfort in the thought of being raised with those who die under the third angel's message. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. She sleeps under the logwood-trees on the school farm. C. B. HUGHES.
WHITMAN.—Died at her home in South Woodstock, Maine, Sept. 7, 1908, of Bright's disease, Sister Mary S. Whitman, aged 69 years, 5 months, and 18 days. Sister Whitman was born in Poland, Maine. In 1856 she married Geo. Whitman, of South Woodstock, where the greater part of her married life has been spent. Twenty-seven years ago the light of present truth came to her, since which time she, with her husband, has been a firm believer in, and a staunch advocate of, the truths of the third angel's message. Firm and unyielding in her devotion to the cause of God, constant and faithful in all her relations in life, and beloved by all who knew her, she peacefully rests under the benediction of Rev. 14:13, awaiting the Life-giver's call to life and immortality. She leaves a husband, three daughters, three brothers, and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18. H. C. GILES.
HODGES.—Died at College View, Neb., Sabbath, July 4, from a second stroke of paralysis, Sister Abbie Hodges, wife of Noah Hodges. Her maiden name was Abbie B. Huntley. She was born at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Oct. 26, 1843. Nov. 20, 1867, she was married to Noah Hodges, and went to his home at Sandyville, Iowa, where they lived until they moved to College View in March, 1891. Her Christian experience began in 1859, when, at sixteen years of age, she embraced the views of Seventh-day Adventists under the labors of Elder M. E. Cornell. From that time to the day of her death her faith never wavered for a moment in loyalty to the Saviour, or in devotion to this cause. In all religious and church work she was intensely active until failing strength made it impossible to carry so many of these burdens as formerly. In Iowa she was interested in tract society work, being district secretary for years. When the family moved to College View, she became a charter member of the College View church, organized in 1891, and was a deaconess in this church until advancing years made it necessary for the duties of this office to be laid aside. Her religion was manifested not simply in official acts and attendance upon church services, but in quiet, kindly ministration to the wants of others. She was, in the language of the Scriptures, “given to hospitality,” and she delighted to entertain the ministers and the brethren and sisters who came to attend meetings at their home in the early days. Sometimes there were as many as forty to care for; but she never complained, no matter how large the company. On the contrary she was always happy in this work. She had a heart full of love for her many friends, and was especially beloved by all of them. Many a weary pilgrim, tired and worn by labors in the gospel field, has found a haven of rest in her home, and has been nursed back to vigor by her gentle hands. The text for the funeral service was Job 5:26. C. C. LEWIS.
