MUHN.—Died at the home of her parents, near Moorestown, Mich., Aug. 31, 1906, after an illness of one week, Etta May Muhn, daughter of Adam and Hattie R. Muhn, aged 18 years, 3 months, and 6 days. She was a dutiful girl at home, and was loved by her schoolmates at Cedar Lake, where she had been a student for several years. Some time before her death she gave evidence that she loved her Bible and the Saviour, and we believe she will have part in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to the bereaved family and sympathizing friends. R. J. BELLOWS.

LUND.—Died at the home of his parents in St. Paul, Minn., of diphtheria, Carl Henry Lund, aged 24 years, 9 months, and 28 days. He came to St. Paul one year ago. His parents are not members of any church, but Carl expressed faith in God before his death. He said he had made many mistakes, but had not taken God's name in vain. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. A goodly number of friends and neighbors gathered to show sympathy and give comfort to a loving mother and a kind father, with five remaining sons and daughters, who had recovered from the same dread disease.

He embraced the third angel's message thirty-four years ago, and his faith remained firm to the end, the blessed hope being his comfort during his protracted illness. He leaves a son and six daughters to mourn their loss, his wife having fallen asleep fourteen years ago. Words of comfort were spoken by L. L. French, based upon 1 Thess. 4:13. We laid him to rest in the Evergreen Cemetery to await the return of the Life-giver. F. W. PATTERSON.
