McCLURE.— Died in Seattle, Wash., July 18, 1906, Mrs. Rebecca McClure, aged 56 years and 4 months. She became a member of the Marshalltown (Iowa) Seventh-day Adventist church about sixteen years ago. About four years ago she united with the church at Portland, Ore. Her husband, H. B. McClure, died one year ago. She leaves six children, besides brothers and sisters. She told me to tell her brothers and sisters that she died in faith, and would meet them in the resurrection. Her last wish expressed was that the Lord's work might prosper.

MIEL.— Died at her home in Greenville, Mich., Aug. 21, 1906, of heart-disease, Sister Cinderella Janette Miel, née Gilmore, aged 62 years, 2 months, and 15 days. Sister Miel and her husband heard and gladly accepted the third angel's message in Red Cloud, Neb., and became members of the church in that place at its organization. In 1900 they moved to Michigan, but her health, which had failed in Nebraska, did not improve in Michigan. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, and was held at the family residence, where a large number of relatives and friends were assembled. The remains were placed in the Sydney Center Cemetery.

BEATTY.— Died at her home in Oakland, Cal., July 11, 1906, Mrs. Mary Beatty, aged 66 years and 11 days. Sister Beatty was born in Ireland, and at a very early age gave her heart to the Lord, uniting with the Presbyterian Church. About twenty-five years ago she was led to see the light of present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Oakland, in which church she ever remained a consistent and helpful member. A large number of friends and relatives regret their loss in her death. Four sons and two daughters treasure the memory of the devoted and consistent life of the mother who has been taken from them. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:13.

ISAAC.— Died at College View, Neb., July 30, 1906, of consumption, Mrs. Mary Isaac, wife of Elder John Isaac, aged 36 years, 7 months, and 5 days. Sister Isaac accepted present truth in the winter of 1892 under the labors of Elder S. S. Shrock, in Kansas. She dearly loved this precious faith, and greatly longed for the coming of the Saviour. She was fully surrendered to the will of her Father in heaven, willing to live or die as he saw best. Her last words to her husband were, “Be sure to meet me in the morning of the first resurrection, and bring Alonzo with you,” referring to their three-year-old son. Her husband and friends are comforted with the thought that she sleeps in Jesus. On the funeral occasion words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13-17.
