CORRECTION.—In the obituary notice of Brother William Butterbaugh, printed in the issue of June 22, it was stated that the deceased first heard the doctrines of the third angel’s message at Riverside, Iowa, in 1844. The date should have been 1884.

WAGER.—Died at the Otter Lake (Mich.) Sanitarium, June 9, 1905, of gangrene, Mrs. Melvina Wager, aged 66 years, 2 months, and 27 days. For many years she had been a faithful observer of the Sabbath, and a member of the Hazelton (Mich.) church. Although a constant sufferer during the last two years, she bore it all with Christian fortitude, and was resigned to God’s will. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder J. L. Edgar; text, 1 Thess. 4:13. B. F. STURMAN.

JENKINS.—Died in Ontario, Cal., May 20, 1905, of consumption, Edward Drummond Jenkins, aged 27 years, 3 months, and 13 days. He spent most of his life at Waterville, Maine, where he was graduated with honors from Colby College in 1900. His health began to fail in 1899, and in 1902 he went to Boulder, Colo. Receiving no benefit here, he, with Sister Edna Kilbourne as nurse, went to Indio, Cal., and five months later to Ontario, Cal. At an early age he was converted and joined the Congregational Church. As the result of the consistent Christian life of Sister Kilbourne, he accepted the truths taught by Seventh-day Adventists, and peacefully fell asleep with bright hope in the first resurrection, interment taking place at his home in Waterville, Maine. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by P. P. Adams and the Congregational minister. E. H. ADAMS.

MORTON.—Beula Dell, daughter of Brother R. A. Morton, of San Jose, Cal., died June 3, 1905, aged 6 years. Little Beula was a child of rare sweetness, and although so young loved the Sabbath-school lessons, and took delight in attending the school. Sabbath evening, referring to herself and her twin sister, she said, “To-morrow is our birth-day,” but in the lengthening shadows of that day she fell asleep to awaken in the unending glory of immortality in the kingdom of God. The sorrowing parents and friends are comforted with the blessed hope. D. T. FERO.

REA.—Died at her home in Chicago, Ill., June 21, 1905, Mary M. Rea, my dear wife, aged 41 years, 10 months, and 14 days. Together we accepted the truths taught by Seventh-day Adventists at a camp-meeting held in Kalamazoo, Mich., during the year 1889. She had a kind and amiable disposition, and always made many friends wherever she lived. She was a faithful attendant at Sabbath-school and church. She passed away very peacefully, trusting in Jesus. An aged mother, two sisters, and five brothers survive her. Funeral services were conducted at the house and church by Elder Luther Warren; text, 1 Thess. 4:13, 14. LINCOLN A. REA.

LOVEJOY.—Fell asleep in Jesus, near Bloomfield, Neb., June 11, 1905, Brother Lovejoy, aged 34 years and 9 months. He had been afflicted with arthritis deformans for nearly four years. He accepted the truth under the labors of Elder G. H. Smith and Brother Finster, in 1900, and remained faithful in the third angel’s message. By his death a tender tie was broken, but his loved ones are comforted with the many promises to the faithful believers. His companion and a little son and daughter and other relatives are left to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. J. W. BEAMS.

DACONS.—Died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sarah Dacons, Battle Creek, Mich., June 16, 1905, Mrs. Catherine Dacons, aged 88 years, 10 months, and 2 days. Neuralgia of the heart was the immediate cause of her death. She was an active, zealous, and exemplary Christian for almost her entire life. For more than forty years she had been a Seventh-day Adventist, and was a member of the Grand Rapids (Mich.) church at the time of her death. She is survived by one daughter, three sons, and a large circle of relatives and friends. She came to her end like a sheaf of perfectly ripened grain, ready for the garner. She sleeps in hope. The funeral discourse was given by the writer from John 14:1-3, by request. G. W. MORSE.

MORROW.—Died at his home in Ligonier, Ind., June 3, 1905, Francis Morrow, aged 84 years, 1 month, and 28 days. Brother Morrow was born in Ireland, and came to New York at the age of sixteen. He went with his family to Iowa when about thirty years old. In that State he accepted the truths of the third angel’s message in 1858. Present truth has always been dear to him. He advocated it in his home and in the church with zeal and enthusiasm. He moved as a pioneer to Kansas in 1869, and assisted in starting the work in that field. He leaves a wife and five children and many other friends and relatives to mourn their loss. He was the father of Elder James A. Morrow, who has been a missionary many years in the West Indies, but at present is laboring in the Bermuda Islands. The funeral sermon was preached by the writer from Job 5:26. JOHN W. COVERT.
