SHEAR.—Mrs. Lucinda S. Shear died at the home of her niece, in Battle Creek, Mich., Aug. 31, 1913, at the age of nearly ninety years. The funeral service was conducted by Elder H. Nicola, and the remains were brought to Quincy, her old home, for burial. The deceased accepted the third angel's message under the labors of Elder I. D. Van Horn more than forty years ago, and from that time until her death was a faithful Christian. Her heart was always open to the needs of the cause of God, to which she was a very liberal giver. O. S. THOMPSON.

VESEY.—Viola Gray Vesey was born at Asheville, N. C., May 18, 1891, and died at College Place, Wash., Aug. 28, 1913. She was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church about ten years ago, and greatly desired to live, that she might devote her life to the Master's service. However, she was resigned to the will of God. The writer conducted the funeral service, assisted by Elder O. A. Johnson. W. W. STEWARD.

LUSADDER.—Mildred Lusadder, eight years of age, daughter of Mrs. May Lusadder, of Orlando, Fla., died July 24, 1913. Little Mildred delighted in the Sabbath-school, and all through her serious illness her desire was to have God's Word read, and to listen to the Bible stories. As the bereaved mother lays to rest the last one of her family, the Christian's hope is her comfort. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. W. H. HECKMAN.

LEONARD.—Martha M. Leonard was born in Ohio, Nov. 23, 1848, and died in Longmont, Colo., Aug. 29, 1913. Sister Leonard became a Seventh-day Adventist thirty years ago, while residing in Dakota. About four years ago her health began to fail, and a year later she came to Colorado. Her husband and children are comforted with the assurance that she sleeps in "the blessed hope." The funeral services were conducted by the writer. M. A. ALTMAN.

ABBEY.—T. Jefferson Abbey was born in Ontario County, New York, May 29, 1834, and died Sept. 2, 1913. He came to Michigan in 1853, and ten years later was united in marriage with Miss Zilpa Gillett, who survives him. Five years ago the deceased left his farm and came to live with his daughter. He embraced present truth twenty-five years ago, and remained a firm believer in the same to the day of his death. Besides his wife and daughter, two brothers and three sisters are left to mourn. W. E. VIDETO.

MANGOLD.—Cenovia Corina Mangold was born in Concordia, Entre Rios, Argentina, South America, Oct. 28, 1888, and died of yellow fever in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Aug. 10, 1913, aged 24 years, 9 months, and 12 days. She was ill only a few days and her suffering was intense, but she bore it with great patience and fell asleep with the hope of soon living in that land where death and suffering will be no more. Her husband, Elder S. Mangold, superintendent of the Ecuador Mission, and four children are left to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 21:3-5 by Pastor Zoilo Irigoyen, of the British Bible Society in Guayaquil. JOHN OSBORNE.

JEYS.—Died Aug. 12, 1913, at the home of his daughter near Grant, Nebr., our dear father, George Jeys. He was born in England Sept. 6, 1839, and was therefore at the time of his death nearly eighty-three years of age. He came to America in 1850, and moved to Iowa in 1854, where he resided for over fifty years. The last years of his life were spent at the home of his daughter, where he died. Father was married to R. Annie James, March 30, 1862. His companion, four sons, and two daughters survive. In 1860 he heard Moses Hull preach on the law of God. Later he attended meetings held by B. F. Snook, and at that time fully accepted the truths we hold as a people. Those were pioneer days of the message, and he was one of the first to receive the truth in Warren County, Iowa. During his lifetime he was sometimes harassed with doubts as to his own acceptance with God, but in the evening of his life, though his physical strength was waning, his grasp on God grew stronger, his fears melted away, and he died in the triumph of the Christian's hope. While our hearts are sad, we rejoice in the hope of the glorious gathering so soon to come. T. H. JEYS.

HOLLINGER.—Daniel Hollinger was born in Germany, Feb. 15, 1833, and died in Doty, Wash., Sept. 2, 1913. For about forty years he was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one daughter to mourn. The writer spoke words of comfort from Rev. 14:15. C. E. KNOX.

BISHOP.—Joseph Alvin Bishop was born at Sarasota, Fla., Sept. 8, 1908. He was accidentally killed Aug. 1, 1913, by the explosion of a kerosene can, at his home in Longboat, Fla. Little Joseph had a sweet disposition and is greatly missed by his parents, Brother and Sister Joseph Andreas Bishop, four brothers, and a sister, besides many relatives and friends. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. W. H. HECKMAN.

ROSE.—Cora A. Miller was born in Rockwood, Wayne Co., Mich., Feb. 24, 1858. She was married to R. Rose in 1877, and to this union one child was born. The deceased united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Battle Creek, Mich., in 1897. She was a firm believer in the truths which we as a people hold, and always exerted a helpful influence at home and in the church. The last three years of her life were spent at Sanitarium, Cal., where she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, Sept. 12, 1913. She rests in the St. Helena cemetery, awaiting the voice of the Life-giver. W. C. WHITE.

LEE.—Harry A. Lee died in the twenty-fourth year of his age, Sept. 14, 1913, in Chicago, Ill., as a result of a motorcycle accident. In the newspaper account of his death it was said, "He died to save another." While driving his motorcycle at a high rate of speed, he turned his machine quickly, in order to avoid hitting an aged man who was crossing the street, and as a result was violently thrown from the machine. He never regained consciousness. At the funeral service words of comfort were spoken by the writer from James 4:14, Elder M. H. Serns and H. P. Waldo assisting in the service. Brother Lee embraced the truth during the series of meetings which were held last winter in Chicago, and proved to be a devoted Christian and a faithful church-member to the day of his death. His case was a sad one indeed, as he had no living relatives. He was reared in a Roman Catholic orphanage and was a member of that church until the third angel's message found him. We are confident that we shall meet him in the resurrection morning. K. C. RUSSELL.
