WALL.—Died May 20, 1902, of nervous exhaustion, James Wall, of Knoxville, Iowa, aged 64 years, 1 month, and 20 days. Brother Wall was a charter member of the Knoxville Seventh-day Adventist church, which was organized in 1862, and ever was faithful to his profession. A wife and two children are left to mourn, but not without hope.

W. E. PERRIN.

SANDERS.—Fell asleep at Eau Claire, Wis., June 9, 1902, after six months’ painful suffering from tuberculosis, Elder Wm. Sanders, aged 64 years. He was born in England, and came to this country at the age of seventeen. He fought as a Union soldier in the Civil War. When the third angel’s message reached him, he responded heartily, and engaged to carry the precious message both by word and act. He was a faithful brother in the ministry, and his labors will be greatly missed by the Wisconsin Conference. He leaves a wife and five children, hopeful in the assurance of meeting him in the first resurrection. Funeral services were conducted at Eau Claire by Elder J. B. Scott, and at Moon by the writer, where interment was made in the cemetery on the farm he formerly owned.

CAMPBELL.—Fell asleep June 17, 1902, after a lingering illness, Sister Josephine Campbell. She had been a sufferer for many years, and grew in grace and love for her Lord during this experience. She accepted the faith of the third angel’s message about fifteen years ago. Prayers were offered at the house in New Hampshire, but the funeral was held at Gloucester, Mass., where we laid her away, awaiting the Life-giver’s call.

F. C. GILBERT.

SMITH.—Died in Battle Creek, June 19, 1902, Susannah Sisley Smith, wife of Asahel Smith, aged 59 years. She was born in Tunbridge, England. Her brother, the late Elder John Sisley, had come to America and found this truth. His report of it by correspondence led his mother and her children to follow him to this country about 1864. Sister Smith had, from early childhood, a bright Christian experience, and fell asleep trusting in the Lord. Mother Sisley and two sisters are in Australia, and a brother, W. C. Sisley, is in England. Others of the family and relatives were in Battle Creek as our sister was laid away in Oak Hill Cemetery.
