HOUSE.—Donald Benjamin House, born at Trinway, Ohio, Jan. 27, 1906, died at McCook, Neb., Dec. 2, 1910, aged 4 years, 10 months, and 5 days. He was one of four children of Elder and Mrs. B. L. House. November 18, Donald was taken with scarlet fever, and two weeks later he died. The parents deeply mourn the loss of this dear child, but they find blessed comfort in the Saviour's precious promises. From Luke 18:16, one of the little boy's memory verses, words of comfort were spoken to a company of neighbors and friends. E. L. COOK.

GLASIER.—Died at Horicon, N. Y., Oct. 24, 1910, Ellen P., wife of Edwin R. Glasier, aged seventy-three years. Thirty-six years ago Sister Glasier with her husband accepted the truth under the labors of Elder S. B. Whitney, and united with the North Creek church. Of her it can be truly said that she, being dead, yet speaketh. A large company of friends gathered at the funeral services, which were conducted by Elder Campbell, pastor of the Baptist church near her home. A devoted husband and two daughters are left to feel the loneliness of separation. ELMER M. TYREL.

VERGE.—Died at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Nov. 21, 1910, after an illness of about three months, Brother Thomas Verge, aged sixty-eight years. Brother Verge, who had been a First-day Adventist, accepted the truths of the third angel's message thirteen years ago. By profession he was an artist of no mean order. Besides his widow, he leaves three daughters. The church of which he was a loved and honored member mourns with the family, all of whom are members. November 23, we laid him away to rest until the trump of God awakes those who sleep in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, assisted by Elder T. Black, from 1 Cor. 15:22. L. D. LONGARD.
