LEE.—Marjore Gertrude Lee, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lee, died near Bayard, Neb., Aug. 30, 1909, aged eight months and ten days. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. Text, Ps. 146:5. W. F. SURBER.

TOWN.—Mrs. Mary Town died Aug. 20, 1909, aged fifty-seven years. She was united in marriage to Geo. H. Town, of Belmont, N. Y. To them were born eight children, of whom only four survive to mourn with the father. Funeral services were conducted at the home, near Medina, N. Y., and were largely attended by sorrowing friends and neighbors. The writer based his remarks on 1 Cor. 15:22. While the mother is gone, and the home is saddened, yet in Christ there is comfort for every heart. Jesus is soon coming, and then will he give life more abundantly. So we sorrow not as those who have no hope. J. F. PIPER.

BEADLE.—Mrs. Louise Richards Beadle was born in Lowville, N. Y., in January, 1838, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ruby Litchfield, near Barton Landing, Vt., Sept. 2, 1909, in the seventy-second year of her age. She, with her parents, moved to Michigan in 1858, living in Duplain for a number of years, where she heard and accepted the teachings of Seventh-day Adventists in 1868. Sister Beadle was a devoted member of the church, serving as librarian many years, and she died with a well-grounded hope in the resurrection of the just. Two daughters and one son survive her, and cherish the faith and hope in which the mother died. A goodly number of friends in the neighborhood met with the relatives of the deceased at the funeral, Sabbath, September 4, who listened attentively to words spoken from Rev. 14:13. E. E. GARDNER.

MILLER.—Sister Nancy Miller, wife of Brother Albert Miller, died at her home near Lapeer, Mich., Aug. 23, 1909, after a severe illness of many weeks. She was a patient sufferer. Sister Miller was born in Hamburg, N. Y., in the year 1853. Some years ago she accepted the third angel's message, and was a faithful follower of Christ for some time. For the last few years she had fallen away, but still continued to keep the Sabbath. A few weeks before her death she became reconciled again to God, and passed away with a bright hope of coming forth in the first resurrection. She leaves to mourn, a husband, six sons, and one daughter. The funeral service was held in the Lapeer Seventh-day Adventist church, words of comfort being spoken by Elder E. R. Lauda, based upon Rom. 5:12. The remains were laid to rest in Stiles Cemetery. A. V. MORRISON.

JOHNSON.—Mrs. Mary Jane Johnson fell asleep in Jesus in Worcester, Vt., July 7, 1909, at the age of eighty-five years. Her religious experience began when, at the age of sixteen, she joined the Baptist Church. In 1840 she became a consistent member of the Congregational Church. Sister Johnson loved her Saviour, and wished to obey him; and as she saw new light after a thorough study, she accepted the views held by Seventh-day Adventists about 1867. She became quite deaf when young, and the last few years of her life she was blind; but she bore her great affliction with patience. We trust that at the glorious appearing of our Saviour, when the sleeping saints will be awakened and come forth in immortal bloom, our sister will receive the fulfilment of the promise, “The eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.” The funeral service was conducted by Mrs. Myrtie Holt.
