GREENAGE.—Died in Cheswold, Del., Sept. 18, 1905, of consumption, Benjamin Greenage, aged 25 years. Brother Greenage accepted the truth about five years ago. After having run well for a little season, he fell away. But he made a fresh start within the last year, and died in hope, deeply regretting that he had not studied the Word of God more faithfully. Words of comfort were spoken to a large audience from Hosea 13:14. JOHN F. JONES.
WARNER.—Died Oct. 4, 1905, Charles E. Warner, aged 64 years, 3 months, and 24 days. Brother Warner accepted the truths of the third angel's message in Dayton, Ohio, about ten years ago. He will be greatly missed in the home, in the church, and in the neighborhood. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one stepson to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken to a large gathering of sympathizing friends and neighbors at the M. E. church at Windfall, Ind., by the writer. J. C. HARRIS.
PHILLIPS.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 28, 1905, Esta E. Phillips, daughter of A. M. and M. P. Way, in the twenty-fifth year of her age. The immediate cause of her death was lockjaw. She was brought up in the Adventist faith. She had recently shown an especial interest in the message by making donations to aid in some branches of the work. A husband, mother, two brothers, and two sisters now mourn the loss of a loved one, but they are looking forward to the soon coming of Jesus, when there will be a glorious reunion. The church at Pomona was filled with sympathizing friends and relatives. RODERICK S. OWEN.
HAYNES.—Died in Plainfield, N. J., Aug. 11, 1905, of dysentery, Theresa K. Haynes, aged 17 years and 6 months. Tess, as she was familiarly known by all her friends, was converted four years ago under the labors of Elder E. E. Franke in Trenton, N. J., and was baptized by him. Although she was too young to take the course, she had a strong desire to become a nurse, and so have an active part in the work of the third angel's message. Always striving to live a consistent Christian life, in the last few weeks of her short earthly pilgrimage she gave the clearest evidence of her acceptance with God. A father, mother, and four brothers are left to mourn their loss. Words of comfort from Rev. 14:13 were spoken by the writer. C. H. KESLAKE.
HOLMDEN.—Died at Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept. 10, 1905, of tuberculosis, Frederick Holmden, aged 55 years, 2 months, and 25 days. Brother Holmden was born in Boyner, England, and came to this country when eighteen years of age. He first heard present truth preached by Elders Kenyon and Lamson at Greenville, Mich., in 1878, and took his stand with Seventh-day Adventists, uniting with the church at Greenville. He was an active worker for the truth, and with his family labored for a while in the Bay Islands, where he contracted the disease which caused his death. He rests in hope. A wife and two children remain to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 11:25, after which the remains were taken to Greenville, Mich., for burial. M. S. BURNHAM.
STEEN.—Died at Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. 24, 1905, of typhoid fever, Raymond Milton, son of F. B. and Cora Steen, aged 1 year, 8 months, and 25 days. He was sick only a short time; all that loving parents and medical skill could do was done, but he was taken away. We have laid him to rest until the morning of the resurrection, when he will come again from the land of the enemy. The parents and three brothers are left to mourn, but not without hope. The funeral was held at Milton, Ore. A. J. BREED.
FREEZE.—Died at Summerfield, New Brunswick, Sept. 24, 1905, Jane Freeze, in the seventy-second year of her age. Eight years ago Elder Farman called at the home of Sister Freeze's daughter, and there found two true Christians, walking in all the light they had received. He spent the entire afternoon studying the Bible with them, and as a result they both decided to accept the third angel's message; and from that afternoon until the day of her death, Sister Freeze rejoiced in present truth. She gave freely to the cause she loved, and left her all to it at death. She was of a retiring nature, and in harmony with her wish the funeral service was of a very simple character. On the morning of September 26 we laid her to rest, beside her husband, in Forest Hill Cemetery, to await the voice of the Life-giver. W. R. ANDREWS.
ACMOODY.—Died at Madison, Wis., Sept. 24, 1905, Henrietta Beatrice AcMoody, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Parfitt, aged 22 years, 9 months, and 10 days. At the age of eleven years Sister AcMoody was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at New London, Wis. After her marriage she assisted her husband what she could in his evangelistic work. But cruel death has in this event taken from the family to which she belonged, and from the Lord's cause, one who was beloved and useful, yet in the depth of the sorrow there is bright hope expressed in the promise that she will rise again. She leaves a husband, a daughter four months old, a father, a mother, three brothers, six sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. A lesson embodying thought on the Christian's hope was given by the writer in the Seventh-day Adventist church at New London, September 28, to a large number who attended the funeral service. WM. COVERT.
BOOSE.—Died at a hospital in Iowa, Oct. 3, 1905, Sister Johanne E. Boose, nee Jensen, aged 56 years, 1 month, and 9 days. Sister Boose was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and came to the United States in 1877. She was converted in her twenty-second year, and joined the Baptist Church. In 1882 both she and her husband accepted the views held by the Seventh-day Adventists, and she remained a faithful follower of Jesus until her death, which was the result of an operation. Sister Boose was a humble, God-fearing woman, who labored to the utmost of her strength for the good of others. Her hospitality was widely known. She was the mother of eleven children, one son and seven daughters of whom are still living. Her aged mother, one brother, her husband, and the children were present at the funeral. She also had one sister living in Denmark. The funeral took place in a church three miles from her home, which was about seven miles from Exira. The building was too small to accommodate the large audience which assembled on the funeral occasion, and many stood on the outside near the open windows. A procession one mile and a half in length, and containing one hundred and fifty teams, followed the remains to their last resting-place. L. JOHNSON.
