“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus. TORREY.— James Glenn, son of Brother and Sister John Torrey, was killed by a runaway team, near Pomeroy, Wash., July 9, 1902, aged 9 years, 20 days. His body was so badly mangled that he died in a few hours after the accident occurred. We believe we shall meet him in the first resurrection. MOSES HUNT. ENOCH.— Died at Portland, Ore., May 31, 1902, Lilford Augustus Enoch, aged 17 years. Lilford had just finished the ministerial course at Walla Walla College, when he was taken with brain fever, as the result of overstudy and an attack of la grippe. He was brought to the Portland Sanitarium, but died soon after. He was an earnest Christian, and had consecrated his life to the Master’s work. His mourning relatives and friends are comforted to know that they may, if faithful, soon meet him again. MRS. H. ROGERS. LUCAS.— Sister Maria G. Lucas attended Union College in 1892, was converted, and became an earnest Christian. In 1896 her health failed, also her mental faculties. She remained in this condition until death relieved her, at the age of 29. She had been a mental patient at the State Hospital, Yankton, S. D., for some time. She was removed to Elk Point, the home of her parents. The funeral was held July 24, 1902. By request the writer spoke from Rev. 14:13. J. H. ROGERS. WORTH.— Died from drowning in the Calumet River, at Harvey, Ill., July 13, 1902, Ira R. Worth. He was born at Palmer, Ill., July 23, 1881. His father’s family accepted the truths of the third angel’s message in 1887, and he was well acquainted with its principles. Although the nature of his demise made it impossible for any one to converse with him during his last moments, yet we cherish the fond hope of meeting him in the first resurrection. He was highly esteemed by all his acquaintances and fellow workmen. He leaves a wife, a mother, three brothers, and four sisters to mourn his departure. Funeral exercises were conducted by Elder N. W. Kauble, speaking from 1 Peter 1:24, 25, after which the body was interred in Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago. E. G. BENNETT.
