LEET.—Died at Campbellsville, Ky., July 20, 1907, of old age, Isaac Leet, aged 79 years and 7 months. Brother Leet accepted present truth under the labors of Brother and Sister Riley about two years ago, and from that time till his death rejoiced in the third angel’s message, and did what he could to give it to his neighbors. He leaves an aged companion, two sons, one daughter, and many friends, who mourn, but not as those who have no hope. In the absence of one of our ministers, a short service was conducted at the home. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. CHARLES PILE.

In the earlier part of his life, he was a member of the Evangelical Church. In 1874, at the organization of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Rochester, Ind., he was one of its charter members, and remained true to the faith until death. He leaves a large number of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but we sorrow not as do those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:10, 11. DR. WM. HILL.

PENNIMAN.—Died in Woodburn, Ill., July 12, 1907, William Penniman, aged 79 years, 5 months, and 6 days. Brother Penniman was converted at the age of fifteen years, and united with the Christian Church. In 1864 he heard Elder J. H. Waggoner present the points of faith taught by Seventh-day Adventists, and united with that church. Brother Penniman was elected elder of the Woodburn church in the year 1869, and held that office until his death. In 1884 he received ministerial license from the Illinois Conference, but it was a saying of his that he would rather preach to an audience of one, so he spent most of his time canvassing for our literature. He was widely known throughout our ranks by the many articles he wrote for our different papers. Two sons and two daughters survive to mourn the loss of a loving father, but they mourn not as those without hope. His funeral service was held in the Congregational church. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. We laid him to rest by the side of his faithful companion. M. G. HUFFMAN.
