He was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at North Creek for about forty years, living an exemplary Christian life.

LOUKS.—H. Louks was born in Benton County, Arkansas, Dec. 8, 1844, and died Aug. 22, 1913, in San Joaquin County, California. He was married in 1865 to Lucinda Hollingshead, who passed away about three months ago. Nine children were born to them, of whom six are living. The deceased accepted present truth nine years ago.

ANDREWS.—Myrtle Alice Bristol Andrews was born Oct. 19, 1874, in Michigan. As a child she was very conscientious and of a deep religious spirit. At the age of fourteen she was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Hanover, Mich. She was graduated with honors from the high school at that place, and afterward spent some time in Battle Creek College. She then spent a number of years in Bible work in Michigan, before going to Washington, D. C., where she was engaged in office work with the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It was there that she met Dr. L. L. Andrews. In the spring of 1910 she was employed as the Sabbath-school and Missionary Volunteer secretary of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference. Sept. 30, 1911, she was married to Dr. Andrews, coming to Atlanta immediately. They have given their best efforts to the upbuilding and work of the Atlanta Sanitarium. She died Sept. 1, 1913, at 3:53 P. M., from peritonitis. Sister Andrews leaves a devoted husband, a baby boy one week old, a father, three brothers, one sister, and numerous friends to mourn their loss. In response to a special request by the deceased, the funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder O. Montgomery. The latter part of Ps. 30:5, and the second clause of Matt. 13:28 formed the basis of the words of comfort spoken. Sister Andrews was greatly endeared to all who knew her. As the solemn service was in progress in the Atlanta church, the entire congregation seemed to be completely overcome by the sadness of the occasion. Magnificent floral decorations were lavishly bestowed by friends and sanitarium guests as a last tribute to the deceased. The interment took place in the new cemetery on the outskirts of Atlanta. On a beautiful landscape hill, overlooking the city of Atlanta, the body now rests. Her life of kindness, devotion, and sacrifice culminated in the yielding up of her own life that another might live, fit emblem of the Christ life which was cheerfully sacrificed in order to perpetuate the life and happiness of others. Her firm trust in God to the last, and perfect reconciliation give us the assurance that we shall again meet her when Christ comes to gather his ransomed home. LE ROY T. CRISLER.

WILSON.—Edna Lydia Wilson, daughter of Lewis and Alice Wilson, was born April 24, 1894, in Oakland, Cal., and died July 29, 1913, in Salem, Oregon. For weeks before our recent camp-meeting at Portland she felt impressed to live for Jesus, and at that meeting took her stand publicly. Her Christian experience, though short, was certainly a real one, and had its influence upon her young friends. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder M. H. St. John. JAY J. NETHERY.

FREY.—Mae Hill was born near Charlotte, Mich., Dec. 7, 1870, and died at her home in that city Aug. 31, 1913. All her life she was a believer in the truths held by Seventh-day Adventists. For some time she engaged in canvassing for our books, and she also spent nearly a year in Detroit as a Bible worker. On Nov. 29, 1903, she was married to Phillip C. Frey. During the last two years of her life she suffered much, but was always patient. Her companion, parents, and an adopted daughter are left to mourn. H. G. BAYLEY.

POTTS.—Lydia Tillotson was born in Canandaigua, N. Y., Nov. 8, 1819. Her parents moved to Indiana when she was two and one-half years old. In 1842 she was married to Pastor Samuel Aaron Potts. Four years later the family moved to Wisconsin, later to Indiana, and then returned to Wisconsin in 1858. Sister Potts began the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath in 1864, but it was not until 1872 that she heard the message preached in its fullness and identified herself with our people. After years of residence in the States of Iowa and Washington, she came with her daughter to Portland, Oregon, in 1894, where she was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church until her death, which occurred May 13, 1913. The deceased was a happy, trusting Christian, and gave cheer and courage to all who met her. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:49. JAY J. NETHERY.
