COOL.— Died in Hartland, Maine, March 28, 1915, Charles Cool, at the age of nearly ninety years. The deceased was a member of the Hartland church at the time of his death; and although for some time he had been unable to meet with the brethren and sisters in worship, yet his faith in the message remained firm, and we trust he will have a part in the first resurrection.
