MACE.—Died on March 12, 1912, Sister Mary C. Mace, at South Lancaster, Mass., in her seventy-third year. Sister Mace accepted the truth nearly forty years ago, under the labors of Elders L. L. Howard and J. N. Andrews, and through all these years she has been a faithful believer in the message. She was always liberal with her means, and gave freely to the cause of God.

ASBURY.—Emeline Asbury died at the home of her daughter in Excelsior Springs, Mo., Feb. 29, 1912. She was born in Tennessee, Jan. 11, 1831, being more than eighty-one years of age at the time of her death. About fourteen years ago Sister Asbury accepted the truths of the third angel's message, and her bright hope in a soon-coming Saviour never wavered. Those who have attended our camp meetings will not soon forget her cheering testimonies of hope and confidence. A large concourse of people attended the funeral service, which was conducted by the writer. A. R. OGDEN.

REINKE.—George W. Reinke met his death by being struck by a falling flagpole at the schoolhouse in East Mendocino, Cal., Feb. 4, 1912. He was helping to raise the pole, when one of the guy-ropes was allowed to slack, and the pole fell, striking him across the shoulders, causing his death almost immediately. Brother Reinke was for a time a faithful employee in the Pacific Press office. He was a devoted member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and respected by all who knew him. He was about twenty-five years of age. He leaves a father, mother, four brothers, and four sisters to mourn his early death. M. C. WILCOX.

BOLANDER.—Charles Bolander was born in Moscow, Idaho, Nov. 20, 1894, and died at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Wash., March 3, 1912, aged 17 years, 3 months, and 13 days. His father, mother, and six brothers survive. During his last illness Charles was thoroughly converted, and while he longed to live, that he might serve his Master, yet he was willing to go. He bore his suffering patiently. The occasion was made especially sad by the absence of the parents, who are traveling in Europe and could not be notified of his serious illness and death. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Prof. A. E. Searns. Words of comfort were spoken from Isa. 40:3-8. WM. T. HILGERT. (Swedish papers please copy)
