Sister Thula united with the church, Dec. 1, 1894, and had been a faithful worker ever since. Her husband, to whom she was married December last, does not mourn alone, for the silent messenger could scarcely have called one whom we would all miss more. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 23: 4. MALCOLM MACKINTOSH.

CASTBERG.—Christopher Castberg was born in Trondhjem, Norway, May 10, 1855, and died in San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 22, 1902. Brother Castberg followed the sea from an early age until he received the third angel’s message in 1889. He then engaged in editorial work in Battle Creek, Mich., for a time, continuing the same in Christiania, Norway, for seven years. He returned to America in 1899, and did excellent service in the California Conference for two years. Feeling that his wages were not sufficient for his support and the canceling of some debts made in Norway, he took command of a ship. On his first voyage, his vessel was badly damaged in a storm off the California coast, and put into San Francisco Bay. He went to his home the same evening, and greeted his family. The next day he returned to San Francisco to pay off his men, but before fully accomplishing this was taken with severe cramps in the bowels. He was taken to the hospital, and there died the next day at night, from the result of exposure and strain in caring for his crew. He leaves a widow and three children to mourn their untimely loss. Funeral services were conducted in the Oakland church, Sabbath, October 25, by the writer, assisted by Elder J. N. Loughborough. J. O. CORLISS.
