PARSONS.—Died at Santa Rosa, Cal., June 22, 1905, of pneumonia, Sister Alta Parsons, wife of Chas. E. Parsons, in her twenty-sixth year. She was a devoted and earnest Christian worker in both the home and the church, and will be greatly missed. Interment took place at Santa Rosa. C. L. TAYLOR.

McWILLIAMS.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. F. Haggard, of Caddon Mills, Tex., May 19, 1905, Mrs. Elizabeth McWilliams, aged 69 years, 5 months, and 18 days. The deceased accepted the third angel’s message about twenty-seven years ago, under the labors of Elder R. M. Kilgore, and has loved and endeavored to obey it ever since. One son and three daughters are left to mourn their loss. MRS. L. L. BEATTY.

WILSON.—Died at his home at Springville, Tenn., June 17, 1905, J. A. Wilson, aged 62 years and 10 months. Brother Wilson began to observe the Sabbath in the fall of 1887, and a few months later became a member of the church at this place. There was no one more prompt at all our services than he. He leaves a wife, two sons, and two daughters to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Words of consolation were spoken from John 11:25. S. G. GRIMES.

HEYRAULT.—Peacefully fell asleep at Emmett, Mich., May 16, 1905, of quick consumption, Jeanna Lucilla, daughter of Louis Francois and Elise Desmarty Heyrault, aged 17 years, 4 months, and 1 day. She had not made an open profession of religion; but in her closing days often expressed the assurance that Christ was her Saviour. She leaves her father and mother, three sisters, and many friends to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at the Tabernacle in Battle Creek. The writer conducted the service. A. C. BOURDEAU.

TUCKER.—Died at the Melrose Sanitarium, June 21, 1905, of heart-disease, Brother Thomas Tillinghast Tucker, of Narragansett Pier, R. I., aged 69 years, 6 months, and 9 days. He was a son of John W. and Sally Tucker, and was born at Charlestown, R. I. He was a man who read and thought much, and after studying the doctrines of the different denominations for twenty years, he united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Curtis Corner, R. I., in 1884, and was an active member in church and conference work until his death. A son and one sister are left to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted by Elder E. E. Miles. Words of comfort were spoken from 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thess. 4:13-18. H. B. TUCKER.

INGELS.—Fell asleep at Washington, D. C., May 17, 1905, Sister Jane Woodward Ingels, aged 68 years, 10 months, 19 days. She had gone with her daughter, Sister Hindson, to attend the General Conference, incidentally visiting friends. A cold was contracted, which developed pneumonia, and although nurses and physicians did their utmost, the disease proved fatal. Sister Ingels was converted and joined the Congregational Church in 1883; later she joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at San Francisco. She was a true Christian, and possessed a strong, beautiful character. She was the mother of five children, four of whom survive her. She had lately purchased a home in Oakland, where her remains were brought, and on May 24 a funeral service was held for the benefit of her friends there. The next day she was laid to rest in beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, beside her husband. Here another short service was held, where the presence of her many friends testified to their regard. D. T. FERO.
