LOCHERY.—George C. Lochery, son of William and Matilda Lochery, fell asleep on the morning of March 7, 1912, in Tynemouth Creek, New Brunswick.

The writer conducted the funeral service, speaking words of comfort from John 12:24. J. O. MILLER.
SWAIN.—George Francis Swain was born in Chicago, Ill., Oct. 10, 1899, and while skating on Lake Michigan was drowned Feb. 17, 1912, aged 12 years, 4 months, and 7 days. For several years George had been a faithful attendant at our church-school, and his teacher spoke very highly of his sterling qualities. His death was a terrible blow to his parents, but they mourn in the hope of the resurrection morning. The writer preached the funeral sermon. CHAS. T. EVERSON.
DEUSCHLE.—William M. Deuschle was born Sept. 11, 1881, in Chillicothe, Ohio, and died at his home in Columbus, Ohio, March 13, 1912, aged 30 years, 6 months, and 2 days. Being of a religious nature, he took great pleasure in attending church service, and was secretary of the young people's society at the time of his death. He will be greatly missed in the church as well as in his home. His father, mother, two brothers, two sisters, and a large circle of friends mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral service from 1 Thess. 4:16, 17. JOHN FRANCIS OLMSTED.
BOOTH.—Betsy Emiline Bebee, wife of William R. Booth, was born in the province of Quebec seventy-eight years ago, and died at the home of her daughter, Feb. 9, 1912. Sister Booth was a Methodist in early life, but when she heard the truths of the third angel's message she did not hesitate to obey. She was among the first in the province to begin the observance of the Sabbath, and became a charter member of the South Stukely church. She remained faithful to her pledge of membership until her death. Her husband, three sons, and one daughter are left to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken from Matt. 11:28-30 by Elder O. K. Butler. W. J. TANNER.
TERRY.—Mary E. Young was born in Indiana, Sept. 20, 1841. She was married to James C. Terry in 1866, and died at her home in Grafton, Ill., Feb. 11, 1912, being more than threescore years and ten. Sister Terry accepted present truth when she was eighteen years of age, and for fifty years lived isolated from those of like precious faith. Three years ago she united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., but early last summer returned to her home in Illinois. The sweet savor of her life has influenced many for good, and she sleeps in the blessed hope. Funeral services were conducted by Evangelist Davis, of the Baptist Church, no Adventist minister being available. M. A. ALTMAN.
