Pike.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Clayton, near Jamaica, Vt., Oct. 4, 1904, of tuberculous enteritis, my dear wife, Sarah C. Pike, aged 68 years, 5 months, and 28 days. She was a devoted and respected mother in Israel for many years. I think the Sabbath truth was brought to her and her parents by Elder Joseph Bates. She loved the spirit of prophecy, and respected its teachings. Calvin N. Pike.

Briggs.—Died at Princes Town, Trinidad, British West Indies, July 10, 1904, Lindsay Colvin, the only child of Louis J. and Stella E. (Colvin) Briggs, aged 5 years, 6 months, and 7 days. Lindsay was an unusually bright and happy boy, and was loved by all who knew him. He sleeps in Jesus, and we, if faithful, shall clasp him to our hearts again in that near glad day. Louis J. and Stella E. (Colvin) Briggs.

Hill.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Adams Center, N. Y., Nov. 16, 1904, of tuberculosis, Wallace Hill, aged 59 years. He was baptized and united with the Adams Center church of Seventh-day Adventists in 1897, and was held in esteem by all who knew him. He bore his sufferings with patience and confidence in God. His decease is mourned by a devoted Christian wife, two sons, one sister, two brothers, and many friends. The remarks at the funeral were based on Job 14, by Elder White (Methodist). Ida Ford.

Higley.—Emulous Higley, aged 79 years and 9 days, was laid to rest, Nov. 25, 1904, in the Wright (Mich.), cemetery. Brother Higley accepted present truth under the labors of Elder I. D. Van Horn while living on a farm in Muskegon County, Mich., and remained a firm believer of the same for about thirty-five years. He was married to Elizabeth Allen in 1850, and to them were born seven children, only two of whom are still living. Besides these, he leaves an aged companion and many friends to mourn their loss. He died with a firm hope of a part in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 1:18. Gilbert J. Iles.

Kimball.—Lulu, wife of Mr. E. W. Kimball, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Whitelock, was born in Hutchinson, Minn., May 24, 1868, and died at Boulder, Colo., Oct. 29, 1904. Sister Kimball was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist church for a number of years. Her life was quiet and unostentatious. She sought in her own home and among her neighbors and friends to represent the truths she professed. She fell asleep peacefully and quietly, and was laid to rest with full confidence that we would meet her again in the resurrection morning. She leaves a husband, two children, parents, and sisters, besides many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Her funeral was largely attended. Francis M. Wilcox.
