Death of Elder J. G. Matteson

The sad news comes to us that one of our oldest and most faithful laborers in both the English and Scandinavian field, and one of our ofttimes contributors to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Elder J. G. Matteson, is dead. The cause was tuberculosis. He died at Santa Monica, Cal., early Monday morning, March 30. He was especially instrumental in opening up the work in Scandinavia, is the author of several works in that language, and until his death held a place on the editorial staff, we believe, of both our American and European Scandinavian journals. But he sleeps in Jesus. His relatives have our heartfelt sympathy.
