KING.—Died July 20, 1889, of old age and debility, James G. King, aged eighty-three years and five months. He was born in the State of New York. At the age of twenty-five he was converted, and united with the Baptist Church. From New York State he moved to Wisconsin, where, in 1879, we heard the first sermon on the present truth. We searched the Bible to see whether these things were so; and we could not do otherwise than to accept of all the views of Seventh-day Adventists and accordingly joined them.

CATHERINE KING.

WALKER.—Died in Armagh, Ireland, June 12, 1889, Willie Walker, aged 13 years and 1 month. Willie was the only son of Mathew and Elizabeth Walker. He and his only sister, Minnie, were on that fatal excursion train which was wrecked on June 12, and met his death by the accident. Willie's mother accepted the truth under the labors of Elder R. F. Andrews during his visit to Ireland. She has endeavored to train her two children in the way of truth, and last May both of them commenced to observe the Sabbath with her. Since the accident the father has begun the observance of the Sabbath.

Brother Walker writes: "He was fully trusting in Jesus and told his mother and myself that he would meet us in the first resurrection." While the accident was a sad one, yet there is joy when the parents can anticipate a glad reunion in the earth made new.
