A Correction

OUR attention has been called to a mistake in the obituary notice of Theodore Hamm, which appeared in the REVIEW of January 7. It was stated that “a brother,” with other relatives, was left to mourn. The deceased was the only son of Sister Hamm. The closing sentence of the obituary should read: “His untimely death is mourned by a devoted wife, two little daughters, a mother, and one sister.”

CALHOUN.—Flora Esther Calhoun, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Calhoun, was born May 8, 1913, at Fresno, Cal., and died, after a brief illness, on Nov. 13, 1914. She was a child of sweet disposition, and will be greatly missed in her home, as she was the only living child. The sorrowing parents find comfort in the hope of a reunion with their little one in the resurrection morning. N. P. NEILSEN.

LORREN.—William J. Lorren was born April 10, 1843, and died at his home, near Borden Springs, Ala., Nov. 27, 1914. For nineteen years he was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and he fell asleep full of hope and courage. He is survived by his wife, three sons, and one daughter. E. L. MARLEY.

JONES.—Laura E. Jones was burned to death in her home on Dec. 6, 1914. She was 68 years of age. At the time the fire broke out, the neighbors believed that she was not in the house, but her charred body was found in the ruins. Her nearest living relative, a nephew, took charge of the body, and the writer conducted a brief funeral service. JOHN P. GAEDE.

GUY.—Olga Guy was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, May 15, 1859, and died at her home, in St. Cloud, Minn., Dec. 7, 1914. She was married to Fritz Guy on Sept. 7, 1885, and the following year they moved to St. Cloud, Minn. The faithful husband and three sons are left to mourn. Our sister sleeps, awaiting the voice of the Life-giver, which will awaken the righteous dead. A. W. KUEHL.

VINCENT.—Elizabeth Vincent was born in Norwood Township, Knox Co., Ohio, in 1854, and died in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Dec. 12, 1914. During the last twelve years of her life she made her home with Sister Alderman, of Academia. During the last few weeks of her sickness she manifested strong faith in God and in the truth for these times. She fell asleep, we believe, in hope of soon meeting the Life-giver. E. K. SLADE.

BARR.—William J. Barr was born in Napa, Cal., March 9, 1876, and died in Fresno, Cal., Oct. 26, 1914. He was ill for about two years before his death. His wife, his mother, a half brother, and a half sister are left to mourn. Brother Barr was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Fresno, Cal., and fell asleep in the blessed hope. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer. N. P. NEILSEN.

HOPKINS.—Alfred E. Hopkins was born in Indiana in 1851. At the age of thirty-two years he was married to Miss Lillie May Curry. The following year, under the labors of Elder William Covert, he was led to accept present truth. About twelve years ago the family moved to Kansas, and here, in the city of Wichita, Brother Hopkins fell asleep Dec. 11, 1914. His last words were, “Tell the children to meet me in the earth made new.” W. V. DAVIS.
