Obituary.

PRICE.—Died, of consumption, at Farmington, Wash., Sept. 30, 1888, Elva L., daughter of Charles and Harriet Price, aged 13 years and 1 month. Elva was a good girl, and had many friends in the Sabbath-school, of which she was an earnest member. Although not belonging to the church, she had voluntarily taken part in family prayers for more than a year before her death. We trust she sleeps in hope, and will meet her friends with rejoicing when the Life-giver comes. J. W. SCOLES.

HIGHBERGER.—Died at Boise City, I. T., June 6, 1889, of inflammation of the bowels, Mrs. Catherine A. Highberger, aged 66 years and 29 days. Sister Highberger came to this place in 1887 an earnest, devoted Christian, a member of the Dunkard Church. But she soon learned that there was more light for her on the Scriptures, and gladly accepted present truth through the labors of Eld. D. T. Fero. Her Christian experience dates back to early life, but her last days were her best, and about two weeks before her death, she said she was very happy, that she had cast all her care on Jesus, and left it there. She leaves an only son, upon whom the blow falls heavily. His wife and four children, and a large circle of friends, also mourn their loss. But we trust she has not long to rest before the voice of the Archangel will call her forth to enjoy the bliss of Heaven. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Gowan (Baptist). D. P.
