LOCKARD.—Died at Long Beach, Cal., Feb. 22, 1900, Ura Lockard, aged about 11 years. She was converted during a series of meetings held at Flagstaff, Ariz., last summer, and requested baptism. She had been in poor health about two years, and at the baptism I took her in my arms, and laid her in the watery grave. The night before she and her mother were to start for California, the church met at their home for the first time to celebrate the ordinances. Ura took part in it all, and spoke with deep feeling. She lived only a few weeks after reaching California, and died with a bright hope. GEO. O. STATES.

Morrill, and the son of Charles H. and Betsey W. Morrill, of Athens, Me. The pioneers of the message found a welcome at the home of his parents in his boyhood days. He has been an efficient and faithful member of the Conference Executive Committee since the organization of the Florida Conference, in 1893. He was also elder of the Seffner church. He leaves a wife and four children, who sorrow not as those who have no hope. The funeral was conducted by the writer. L. H. CRISLER.
WHEELER.—Died at Hallowell, Me., Jan. 8, 1900, my dear mother, Mary A. Wheeler, aged nearly 65 years. For nearly ten years she was an invalid, as a result of nerve injuries sustained by being thrown from a carriage, and by a fall a few years later. About seven years she was totally blind, and about four years entirely helpless. As her constant attendant, I can witness to her Christian resignation, patience, and faith. Much of the time a great sufferer, never did a murmur escape from her lips. “It is all right,” she would say, “God knows best.” Although not a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, she kept the Sabbath for nearly thirteen years. Words of comfort were spoken from John 11:25, 26, by Elder P. B. Osborne. She sleeps in Jesus. MRS. NELLIE M. HASKELL.
