CUSHING.—Died at the Knowlton (Quebec) Sanitarium, Oct. 25, 1903, of tuberculosis, my dear sister, Laura E. Cushing. She was born March 10, 1863, in Harford, Quebec, and was converted and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the age of nineteen. Soon after a severe attack of typhoid fever, followed by hemorrhages from the lungs, left her far from the blooming, healthy girl it had found her. Of her courage, love, and zeal for the Master and the cause she loved, those can testify who know of her earnest labors in the cause of present truth, in Upper and Lower Canada, Wyoming, and Colorado. She was a true friend, loving sister and daughter. Her parents, two sisters, and two brothers mourn their loss, but with the comforting assurance that she is numbered among the blessed dead who die in the Lord, and whose works follow them. FLORA E. HAMON.
