RYDER.—Died at Agnew, Mich., Oct. 5, 1906, Leora, infant daughter of William V. and Cora (Parmiter) Ryder, aged 5 months and 15 days. During a brief visit at the home of Brother Ryder's parents, little Leora was taken sick, and although all the medical skill available was employed, death claimed the little one, and she was laid to rest to await the resurrection, when the angels will, we trust, restore her to the loving arms from which she was so rudely taken. The parents sorrow, but not as those without hope. Text, Matt. 19:14 S. D. HARTWELL.

RUSSELL.—Died at his home near Conewango Valley, N. Y., Sept. 8, 1906, Truman Russell, aged 82 years. Death resulted from heart trouble, from which the deceased had suffered for a year past. Mr. Russell was the father and father-in-law of several ministers of our faith—two sons, Elder E. T. Russell, president of the Central Union Conference, and Elder K. C. Russell, of Washington, D. C., a daughter, Mrs. Lulu Wightman, a licensed minister of the New York Conference, and two sons-in-law, Elder J. B. Stow and the writer. Mr. Russell had been a Sabbath-keeper for a number of years, and was always glad to hear of the progress of present truth, but had never united with one of our churches. During his last illness he drew very near to the Master, earnestly prayed for the forgiveness of his sins, and died, giving every assurance that all was well with his soul. The deceased leaves an aged wife and eight children to mourn their loss. The funeral took place at the home on September 10, conducted by Elder F. Peabody. It was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Interment was in the village cemetery, near Kennedy. John S. Wightman.
