“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.
ARMAN.—Died near Merrill, Mich., July 22, 1900, of cholera infantum, Elmer H., son of Edmund and Laura Arman, aged 7 months. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Jer. 31: 15-17. W. H. FALCONER.
AYER.—Brother John S. Ayer, of Minneapolis, Minn., died of consumption, July 22, 1900, aged 46 years. A companion and three children mourn his loss, but not without hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Jer. 29: 11. H. F. PHELPS.

BERRY.—Died at Great Valley, N. Y., Aug. 4, 1900, of cancer, Mrs. P. O. Berry, aged 84 years. Sister Berry accepted present truth sixteen years ago, and was a member of the Ellicottville church at the time of her death. Funeral services were conducted in the Baptist church by the writer. D. A. BALL.
STAPLES.—Myrtle Edith, only daughter of C. H. and M. E. Staples, was born Feb. 1, 1892, at Summit Park, Colo., and died April 9, 1900, at the home of Elder Ellis, Bismarck, N. D., aged 8 years, 2 months, 8 days, of heart-disease, produced by pneumonia. She awaits the coming of the Life-giver. Words of comfort were spoken by Sister Darr, from Matt. 24: 44. MRS. I. G. STEWART.
GOODMAN.—Died at Dunavant, Kan., of heart-disease, Chas. S. Goodman, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Goodman. He had always been a good and obedient son, and had been under the influence of the message from childhood. The funeral services took place at Garrison, Kan., in the Methodist church, where appropriate words were spoken by the writer. ARTHUR E. JOHNSON.
DAVIS.—Died in Farmington, Wash., July 6, 1900, Rebecca Bond Davis, aged 75 years, 6 months, 12 days. Sister Davis accepted the light of present truth about eighteen years ago, under the labors of Elder A. T. Jones, and was faithful unto death. Six of her seven children survive her.

BEDEE.—Passed away at Rowley, Mass., July 27, 1900, Augusta J. Bedee, aged 74 years, 8 months, 12 days. She was a woman of rare breadth of mind and greatness of heart, with charity for all who erred or who were in need. A devoted Christian and a loving mother, she leaves many to mourn. But she sleeps in Jesus, and will awake where there is no more pain, neither sorrow nor crying. MARY A. CRAFTS.
SMITH.—Elizabeth Jane Page was born April 20, 1840, in Illinois, and died in Aberdeen, Wash., July 31, 1900. In early childhood she went with her parents to Utah Territory, where, in 1857, she was united in marriage to Samuel H. Smith, with whom she lived until her death. Sister Smith began her Christian life in the Methodist Church, at about the age of forty; and fifteen years later she accepted present truth, and became connected with the Seventh-day Adventists. Her life as a Christian was consistent and devoted; and she gave much of her time and strength to the care of the sick. During her last illness she had a bright experience, and died in the full assurance of faith. Words of consolation were based upon Paul’s expression of faith recorded in 2 Tim. 4: 7, 8. T. H. STARBUCK.

We enjoyed the “REVIEW Testimony Meeting” in the issue of November 28; and if we may be allowed to speak after meeting, we will say: Just take all the good things that have ever been said or written about the dear old REVIEW, and boil them down thick. You will then have our opinion of it, after being subscribers for it for nearly forty-five years. H. H. AND L. A. BRAMHALL.
