GIBSON.—Died at her home, in Harbor Springs, Mich., Aug. 6, 1902, Mrs. Julia A. Gibson, aged 41 years, 8 months, 29 days. She was a Sabbath keeper all her life. She leaves three children and a brother to mourn her death. She was taken to Wakeman, Ohio, her former home, and buried in the family lot, by the side of her husband, who died in 1899. CECIL C. ABBOTT.

MACE.—Died near Port Republic, Va., Oct. 16, 1902, Carrie Mace, beloved daughter of John H. and Julia Mace, aged 13 years, 10 months, and 8 days. Carrie was loved by all who knew her. She was a firm believer in present truth, and was not ashamed to speak in its favor. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 17:15, to a large congregation of sympathizing friends and neighbors. B. F. PURDHAM.

STICKNEY.—Died in Bath, Me., Nov. 15, 1902, John B. Stickney, aged 63 years. He had been unable to walk without crutches for twenty-one years, but bore his affliction with Christian patience, and in his dying hours made a pathetic plea for his dear ones to meet him in the better world. He accepted present truth about thirty-eight years ago. He leaves a wife, two sons, one daughter, and a large circle of relatives to mourn their loss. Remarks were made at the funeral by the writer, from John 11:23, 24. P. B. OSBORNE.

FARNSWORTH.—Died at North Montpelier, Vt., Nov. 3, 1902, of heart failure, Dr. Cyrus Farnsworth, aged 72 years. Brother Farnsworth was for many years a First-day Adventist. About eighteen years ago he accepted the Sabbath and kindred truths, and remained faithful until death. A wife, a number of children, and other relatives and friends mourn his death, but they sorrow not without hope, as he testified that all was well a few moments before his death. Funeral discourse was delivered by the writer, from John 11:25. J. W. WATT.
