Howe.—Atta E. Howe (nee Morrison), wife of Baxter Howe, died in Oakland, Cal., January 5, 1889, aged 27 years, 4 months, and 7 days. She was born in Indiana, and with her parents began to keep the Sabbath of the Lord when she was about ten years of age, and joined the church about five years later. For the last three or four years she was a member of the Oakland Seventh-day Adventist Church, and was employed in the office for a large part of the time, where she gained many friends. About six weeks before her death, and while enjoying good health, she had a new religious experience, and gave herself to the Lord as never before. The change in her was very marked, and she literally rejoiced in the Lord at all times. During her illness, although she suffered much, she seemed to be lifted above the sense of physical pain, and songs and expressions of praise, and prayer for friends, were all that came from her lips. While her many friends keenly feel their bereavement, they have a strong and bright hope which sustains them. By her death, two little ones are left motherless. Words of comfort and exhortation were spoken from Rev. 14:13, to a large congregation of friends, January 6, when she was laid away to await the coming of the Life-giver.
