Another Worker Fallen

By T. E. Bowen

TUESDAY morning of last week, a cable from Shanghai announced the sad news of the death of Esta Miller. The cable gave the cause of his death as appendicitis. These words flashed across the sea and came as a shock to all, as no intimation had been given of his illness.

Brother Miller had been in China only a few months since his marriage and return to that field, he and his wife having sailed from San Francisco the latter part of September, 1910. Having acquired the language during his former stay, the brethren in China urged his return, as his help was greatly needed at that time at Chang-sha. They sailed, therefore, a little earlier than they had planned. Up to the time of the revolution, when all our workers were compelled to leave the interior for a place of safety, Brother Miller was doing good service among the Chinese in evangelistic work. His labor is now finished. Other hands must grasp the fallen standard and continue to press the message on into the waiting fields of China.

In this hour of sorrow, the parents, Elder J. O. Miller and his wife, of St. John, New Brunswick, and the wife in China, will have the sympathy and prayers of the brethren and sisters. May God bless and comfort them.
