In childhood she united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and continued a faithful member until her death. Her life was a beautiful one. She was a dutiful daughter, a loving wife, a patient mother, an earnest Christian. By her death a tender tie is broken, but her loved ones are comforted by the many promises to the faithful believers. A few days before her death, they buried an infant son. A dear little girl is left to mourn with her father and with the parents of the deceased. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. WATSON ZIEGLER.

KIER.— Died at Spring Valley, S. D., May 1, 1905, of heart failure, Sister Minnie D. Kier, wife of Brother N. C. Kier. Sister Kier was born in Denmark, and came to this country in 1874. Three years later the truth of the third angel's message was brought to the home of her parents, and with them she accepted it. She was baptized and joined the Swan Lake church, of which she was a faithful and beloved member until death. Last January her health began to fail rapidly, and she went to the Nebraska Sanitarium, but the doctor gave no encouragement. All that loving hands could do was done for her, but she was beyond the power of human skill. Her hope of soon seeing Jesus was bright till the last. She leaves a devoted husband and six loving children, besides her aged parents, five brothers, and two sisters, and a large circle of friends, to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Services were held at the house and at the church by the writer. J. W. CHRISTIAN.
