DIED, in San Jose, Cal., March 23, of consumption, Bro. Arthur Boardman, aged 42 years, 6 months, and 23 days.

Bro. Boardman was born in Tompkins Co., N. Y. About five years ago he removed from Lacrosse, Wis., to California, and when the tent was pitched in Santa Clara Valley, he attended regularly. With his companion he embraced the truth, and publicly professed the Christian faith. He was even then obliged to carefully protect himself from the chilly night air, but his interest was so great that he continued to attend to the close of the meetings. He never went to evening meetings much afterward.

Sister Boardman deeply mourns her loss, which is a great one, but not without hope. She has many friends to lament with her.

The funeral was attended by the writer.

J. H. WAGGONER.
