WARNER.— Died at Miami, Fla., Dec. 8, 1911, Dr. Jekiel W. Warner, aged 85 years, 10 months, and 2 days. Dr. Warner was born in Canfield, Ohio, Feb. 5, 1827. At the age of seventeen he began the study of medicine, continuing in the medical profession until the year 1900. His services were much prized as a physician, as is evidenced by letters from old patients. Eleven years ago, becoming incapacitated by reason of age, he gave up his practise. A little over a year ago one of our canvassers sold him a copy of “Bible Footlights,” from which he learned the truth, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Miami about four months before his death. He fought a good fight, and we believe now rests in hope of Christ’s soon coming. The funeral was conducted by the writer on December 9. Text, Isa. 57: 1, 2. R. W. PARMELE.
