CRAIG.—Died at his home in Hamlin, N. Y., March 19, 1904, Stephen B. Craig, aged 85 years. Brother Craig was highly esteemed in his community for his piety, unselfish devotion to those in need, and for his hospitality. His record in the church is one of faithfulness, liberally contributing to its support, and active in all its interests. Adopting the belief of the prophetic fulfilment in 1843-’44, he walked in all the light which shone upon his path from time to time, readily accepting the preaching of the messages, the law, and the Sabbath, proving his devotion by a “well-ordered life,” and a trust which only a pure faith can bring. For many years, almost since its organization in 1862, Brother Craig has served the Parma (N. Y.) church in the capacity of elder or deacon. His last illness was of short duration. A severe attack of la grippe in his enfeebled condition proved fatal. His wife, one son, and one adopted son survive him. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Bishop (Baptist). *
