OWENS.—Died at Clearfield, Pa., Dec. 25, 1900, Mr. J. Chester Owens, aged 20 years. Brother Owens was very early in life impressed with the beauties of Christianity, and when only eight years of age made a complete surrender of his young life, which to the time of his death was an exceptionally consistent one. When eighteen, he determined to engage in active work for the salvation of his fellow men, and at once entered the Battle Creek Sanitarium, with his life-work in view. Ill health, however, prevented the accomplishment of his design, and he was forced to return to his home. His disease was soon recognized as consumption, which continued to prey upon his entire system till he quietly fell asleep in Him who is the resurrection and the life. Remarks were made at the funeral by the writer. CHAS. BAIERLE.
