OBITUARIES

BARNES.—C. W. Barnes, was born Jan. 17, 1859, in Robertson County, Tex. He was married to Sarah Ann Mason Dec. 7, 1879. In 1892 he bought a copy of “Bible Readings,” and as a result accepted present truth. He died at his home, near Naples, Tex., Oct. 31, 1916, leaving his wife and seven children to mourn their loss.
ROBERT W. LEACH.
SPEAR.—Horace Mann Spear was born Aug. 21, 1866, in Bauer, Mich., and died in St. Helena, Cal., Nov. 18, 1916. He was married in Battle Creek, Mich., to Miss Myrtle A. Hoyt, where he was for many years connected with the Review and Herald Publishing Association. He afterward was employed at the International Publishing Association, at College View, Nebr., having charge of the bindery. He was a faithful, untiring worker, much devoted to the spread of the message he loved so well, and he died with a bright hope in the resurrection. He leaves his companion, four children, two brothers, and two sisters to mourn their loss.
L. M. SPEAR.

Mrs. Ella May Davis-Thurber

ELLA MAY DAVIS was born July 14, 1882, in Adrian, Mich., and died in Takoma Park, Md., Oct. 28, 1916, aged 34 years, 3 months, and 14 days. She was brought up in the faith, and was converted and baptized at the age of eighteen, while attending school at Mount Vernon Academy, Ohio. In 1902 she was united in marriage to Robert B. Thurber. To them were born four children, three boys and one girl, all of whom are still living.
In the year 1909 Brother and Sister Thurber were called to the mission field, and spent six years laboring in Burma. While there the faithful wife and mother was stricken with a serious tropical disease. As soon as the nature of the malady was determined, the family returned to America, and everything that medical skill and loving care could suggest was done for her recovery. She hovered between life and death for months, suffering greatly, yet always patient and cheerful. Many earnest prayers ascended in her behalf, and she became perfectly resigned to the will of God. To the last her faith and courage in God remained unshaken, and she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. “He giveth his beloved sleep.” The husband and children, her parents, three sisters, and two brothers mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer at the home of her parents, in Adrian, Mich., to which place she was taken after her decease.
W. H. WAKEHAM.

Change of Address

O. R. STAINES, formerly with the Hillcrest School, Nashville, Tenn., is now at Madison, Tenn., and should be addressed at that place.

Requests for Prayer

AN invalid sister in western New York asks our most earnest prayers for restoration to health.
A brother in Montana asks prayer for the healing and conversion of his brother; that his father may be able to overcome the tobacco habit and fully accept the gospel; and that other members of the family may have a deeper Christian experience.

Addresses Wanted

THE church at Clinton, Iowa, is anxious to learn the present address of Mr. H. T. Hohn. Send information to the clerk, Mrs. C. E. Nyberg, 104 Iowa Ave., Clinton, Iowa.
Our Periodical Department is in receipt of money for a year’s subscription to the REVIEW from Mrs. H. J. Pattison, but does not have her address. We should be pleased to hear from her immediately.

Nurses’ Training Course

THERE is opportunity for a limited number of earnest Christian young people to enter the regular three years’ Nurses’ Training Course at the Madison, Wis., Sanitarium, Jan. 1, 1917. Any desiring to enter should send for application blank at once.
P. L. LARSON.

Publications Wanted

THE persons named below desire late, clean copies of our publications, sent postpaid, for use in missionary work. In sending publications care should be exercised to select only such as are free from soil and disfigurement. We have been credibly informed that some who oppose this movement and the truths which it represents answer these requests for literature, and are sending to our brethren and sisters in various parts of the country tracts and papers representing their opposition. Our workers should be careful not to confound this literature with our denominational publications, and thus unwittingly become agents in sending out matter not printed in the interests of the cause of truth.

Improved

YOU will hardly recognize the Signs Magazine when you see the January number. From now on, its size and shape will be the same as the Harvest Ingathering Special. This is the size that so many magazines have adopted, and that has become so popular with the reading public.
Instead of increasing the subscription rates or prices to agents because of the great increase in cost of paper, the number of pages has been reduced. Here are some improvements that you will see: larger, brighter, better-illustrated pages; one size smaller, easily read type; improved, interest-attracting headings; more carefully prepared articles, short of every nonessential. New life is being infused into the Signs Magazine. You will say so when you read the January number.
History does not offer a parallel to the present accumulation of gold in our country. Bible students immediately associate this condition with the prophecies referring to it. That very thing is done in a big, strong, convincing way in the January Signs Magazine, in an article that will make a deep impression on your neighbors if—if you place a copy in their hands.
Another feature is a cleverly written article on the modern speed mania, which you will wish to read a second time. It appears under the heading, “Flipping Life’s Pages.” Others are: “Blowing at the Shrine of Atheism;” “Clinging to Wilted Stems;” “Among ‘Savage Christians’;” “Signing Her Emancipation Papers;” “Belting the Globe with the Message;” “The Hope of All Ages;” “All Six, and the Seventh;” “In the Creator’s Workshop;” “A Substitute for Death.” Every article is a masterpiece. These articles, together with the beautiful cover, depicting coffers bursting from a flood of gold, place this January number in a class by itself. You will surely want some to sell or to give away. Prices as usual: 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents each; 50 or more, 4 cents each. Tell your secretary how many you can use.
