Death of Pastor Henry P. Holser.
We sadly chronicle the death of a devoted laborer of God, a noble, intelligent, companionable man, an able minister of the Word, gifted also with the pen, as many readers of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES can bear witness. For many years Brother Holser had general charge of our European mission work, residing much of his time in Switzerland. He traveled repeatedly through Southern and Eastern Europe, and Asia Minor, and everywhere left fruit of his labors. Our readers will remember his sketches from the Holy Land and his “Jottings,” published at irregular intervals in this paper, until failing health compelled him to lay down the pen. We wonder now why so useful, so young a man, is called from the work and the conflict; but God knows. “He ‘buries His workmen, but carries on His work.’” Brother Holser died at Carson City, Colo., September 11, of consumption. Our sincere sympathies are extended to the sorrowing relatives.
