DIMMICK.— Died Jan. 21, 1904, at the home of her father, Henry Grammar, near Libertyville, Iowa, Laura Grammar Dimmick, aged 37 years, 6 months, and 17 days. A husband, two children, a father, a mother, a brother, and three sisters look forward to that happy reunion where there will be no more good-bys and aching hearts. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in the home of her father. She was laid to rest in the Libertyville Cemetery. W. C. HANKINS.

HAMREN.— Died near Wetaskiwin, Alberta, of pneumonia, Sarah Jeanette, youngest child of J. L. and Ida Hamren, aged 16 months and 21 days. Although little Nettie was not permitted to remain long in the home, she was such a bright sunbeam that she will be greatly missed by the sorrowing parents, brothers, and sisters. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Jer. 31:15-17, after which kind friends laid her to rest in the Wetaskiwin Cemetery, which means, in the Cree language, The Hill of Peace. J. W. BOYNTON.

ELLYSON.— Died at Willamina, Ore., Jan. 12, 1904. Etta Blair Ellyson, wife of J. J. Ellyson, aged 42 years and 18 days. She became a member of the Willamina church four years ago, and most of the time since then was Sabbath-school secretary and church librarian. Hers was an unselfish life, her greatest delight being to do good to others. She leaves a husband, father, one brother, and five sisters to mourn their loss, but not without hope. In the absence of a minister, the funeral services were conducted by the writer. J. W. G.

PENGALLY.— Died at Guelph, Ontario, Jan. 17, 1904, of diphtheritic croup, Russell, youngest son of John and Catherine Pengally, aged 10 years and 8 months. On account of the contagious nature of the disease the interment was hastened, and the father, who was away canvassing, was unable to reach home in time for the funeral. Under these sad circumstances, the bereaved parents are sustained by the Christian's hope, and look forward to the resurrection of the just. A few words of comfort were spoken by the writer. G. B. THOMPSON.

GINLEY.— Died in Coopersville, Mich., Jan. 18, 1904. Dr. J. H. Ginley, aged 75 years and 6 months. The deceased accepted present truth in 1855, under the labors of Elder J. B. Frisbie. Thirty-five years ago Dr. Ginley was physician-in-chief of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which was then known as the Health Institute. He afterward conducted a similar institution in LaFayette, Ind., later removing to Coopersville, Mich., where he was a practising physician for twenty-five years. He leaves a widow and three children, one of whom, Mrs. Laura J. Whitgrove, is a Bible worker in England. The funeral was held at his late residence, and the interment took place in the Adventist cemetery in Wright.

WING.— Died at the home of his brother, of cancer of the stomach, David Wing, aged 54 years, 7 months, and 21 days. He was born in Sutton, Quebec, but removed to Kansas in early manhood. Later he moved to Lake County, S. D., where he learned of the precious truth. Three years ago he removed to Alberta, and remained until his health failed, when he went to California. He seemed to improve for a time, and returned home, only to fail again. He left a cheering testimony of his hope and faith in God. His wife, two children, two brothers, two sisters, and many friends mourn their loss. By his request, the writer, assisted by Rev. T. P. Perry (Methodist), preached from the comforting words of 1 Thess. 4:13-18. J. W. BOYNTON.
