WILSON.—Died in Russellville, Ky., July 16, 1906, Amelia J. Wilson, of Wichita, Kan. She lived with her son, John Wilson, in Wichita, and had been from home only two weeks when she died. She accepted present truth in 1886, and loved to talk of Christ's soon coming. She was a devoted mother, and we believe she sleeps in Jesus. She leaves only two children, the son in Kansas, and the writer at Jackson, Tenn. MRS. L. H. HENDERSON.

POMEROY.—Died at Pendleton, Ore., July 23, 1906, Sister M. L. Pomeroy, in the forty-sixth year of her age. About twelve years ago she heard and accepted the third angel's message, and has been faithful and conscientious in living the truth. Although a great sufferer for the last two years of her life, she calmly looked forward to the approaching end. She leaves a husband, one daughter, and two sons to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:13 by the writer. OSCAR HILL.

CROSS.—Died at her home, two miles and a half from Arcadia, Neb., July 10, 1906, Mrs. Nellie Ellen Cross, wife of Philip Cross, aged 35 years, 9 months, and 28 days. Sister Cross was a kind wife and mother, and will be greatly missed in her family, and also in the church. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn their loss. The funeral sermon was preached by Elder Johnson, of Broken Bow; text, Eccl. 7:1-5. We laid her in the Arcadia Cemetery to await the coming of the Master to call his loved ones home. M. A. P.

PALMER.—Died at his home in Bethel, Wis., July 8, 1906, Andrew B. Palmer, aged 51 years. Brother Palmer accepted present truth while living in Minnesota, but at the time of his death was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Mill Creek, Wis. For the last two years he suffered much from stomach trouble, but was patient. He died in the full assurance of faith and the pardoning love of God. He leaves a kind, loving companion, eight children, a mother, and a brother, to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted at Milton Junction, Wis., by the writer. C. W. OLDS.

NICKELL.—Died suddenly at his home in Twisp, Wash., July 24, 1906, of angina pectoris, J. W. Nickell, in his fifty-sixth year. Brother Nickell accepted the third angel's message about three years ago. He was baptized while he and his wife were attending the camp-meeting at Milton, Ore., in May, and from that time his faith was strong and his hope brighter than ever before. He leaves a wife and a number of other relatives to sorrow. Words of comfort were spoken by J. L. Fulton (Christian). He was laid to rest in the Beaver Creek Cemetery until the Life-giver shall call his own. MRS. LEOLA STOVE.

BUSH.—Died at his home in Honolulu, H. I., June 28, 1906, John Edward Bush. Brother Bush was a native of the islands, and under the reign of kings took quite an active part in the government. At one time he was secretary of finance and secretary of the interior, was appointed minister to Samoa, and also for some time was governor of one of the islands. Since the islands have been annexed to the United States, he has been court interpreter in Honolulu. He accepted the advent message many years ago, and was one of the original members of the Honolulu church, which was organized in 1888. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. C. D. M. WILLIAMS.

REID.—Died at his home near Douglas, Mich., July 16, 1906, Robert Reid, aged 79 years, 3 months, and 24 days. At the early age of sixteen he began sailing on the high seas, and later became captain of a vessel. This position was finally given up for the purpose of obeying the truths of the third angel's message. In 1873 he was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Douglas, Mich. For some time he was its deacon, and for years its elder. The large attendance at the funeral gave evidence of the high esteem in which he was held. Assisted by the Congregational minister of Douglas, the writer conducted the funeral, using Heb. 2:9 as the foundation of his remarks. The bereaved family and friends feel their loss keenly, but sorrow not without hope. M. B. MILLER.
