Death of Elder B. C. Haak

By cable dispatch from Buenos Aires, South America, the sad intelligence comes of the loss of another burden bearer in the missionary service. A year ago Elder B. C. Haak, of Minnesota, was called to the presidency of the Argentine Conference, our largest conference in the South American field. Now the cable brings the brief word that Elder Haak has died of typhoid fever. The sympathy of all our people, we know, will be with the bereaved wife and little ones in Argentina, and with the members of the family in this country. Our South American brethren rejoiced greatly at the arrival of Elder Haak, and from time to time he sent us most encouraging messages as to the progress of the work, referring repeatedly to his joy in the service as he saw the special outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the believers among the churches of the conference. His death will be a sore loss to the work in South America. We can only pray God to raise up laborers for his harvest field to strengthen the hands of the brethren as they seek to fill in this gap in the missionary lines, and to hasten the time of glad reunion in the kingdom of God.
