WHITELOCK.—Died April 4, 1901, at San Diego, Cal., of pulmonary tuberculosis, Grace D. Spicer Whitelock. She was a great sufferer, but through it all was patient and submissive to the will of God. Her only desire in the great struggle to regain her health was that she might work for Jesus. She loved the medical missionary work, and it was no small disappointment when she had to give it up. The services were held from the Seventh-day Adventist church of San Diego, but owing to the impossibility of getting one of our own ministers, they were conducted by the Congregational minister, who spoke kind and encouraging words to the bereaved friends. F. S. WHITELOCK.
