LEWIS.—Died at Rich Valley, near Emporium, Pa., Gordon Lewis, son of Sister Nettie Lockwood, aged 27 years. While going to his work in the lumber woods, he stumbled and fell, the sharp point of a file in his inside coat pocket penetrating his right lung. He was a vigorous young man, and for some time made light of the wound, which after about three weeks caused death in spite of all that medical skill could do. The funeral was held Sept. 17, 1904, and was largely attended. The writer spoke from 1 Cor. 15:21, 22. C. F. McVAUGH.

LANE.—Died in Charlotte, Mich., Sept. 18, 1904, of long-continued and painful sciatic rheumatism and heart trouble, Elder Luther N. Lane, aged 61 years, 5 months, and 2 days. His first Christian experience was in Ohio, when, in 1867, he became connected with the United Brethren Church. After moving to Michigan in 1870, he accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists, with whom he remained a faithful member until his death. For eighteen years while with his people, he was a zealous and successful worker in the ministry. He leaves his wife, two daughters, and one son to mourn their loss, yet not without hope of meeting again in the kingdom of glory. The funeral was held at his late home. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. I. D. VAN HORN.
