SALISBURY.—Died at Clarks Fork, Idaho, July 25, 1905, of catarrh of the stomach, my father, Myron Salisbury, in his eighty-first year.

Brother Allord's health had been failing for several months previous to his decease, but he was able to attend our camp-meeting recently held at South Stukely, Quebec, where he accepted the message of present truth. He went forward in the ordinance of baptism, and gave clear evidence that even in the eleventh hour he found peace through his Saviour. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. H. E. RICKARD.

JUDD.—Fell asleep in Jesus at Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 23, 1905, in her forty-fourth year, Sister Cora Belle Judd, wife of George E. Judd, cashier of Battle Creek Sanitarium. The deceased was the daughter of Creighton H. and Diana E. Miles. The early years of her life were spent in Vermont. She was brought up in the Adventist faith, and was an earnest, sincere Christian woman. Although very frail physically, she possessed great moral and physical courage, was very tenacious of life, and wished to live for her husband and son. Her gracious manner and womanly dignity, her heartiness and sincerity, were indicative of a true nobility. Her life was ornamented by the meek and quiet spirit, “which is in the sight of God of great price.” In her death she triumphed gloriously, and the Christ life she witnessed in her afflictions, will be cherished by her friends as an imperishable, priceless legacy. E. J. WAGGONER, L. McCoy.

WILLIAMS.—Died at Washington, D. C., Oct. 21, 1905, Clark Williams, aged about 70 years. Brother Williams was born of slave parents in Charlottesville, Va., and never knew a mother's care, she being sold away from him at an early age; of his father also he had no recollection. He became a free man through the proclamation of President Lincoln. Seventeen years ago he moved to Washington, and recently experienced a change of heart, and began the observance of the Sabbath. He was to have been baptized and join the church of which Elder Sheafe is pastor, on the day he died. A widow and four children are left to mourn their loss, but they are comforted with the Christian's hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer at the funeral to a large congregation; text, John 16:22. G. B. THOMPSON.
