Missionary Murdered in Guiana
By Editor
A despatch from Georgetown, British Guiana, dated September 5, states that "the Rev. E. O. Davis, superintendent of the Guiana Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, has been murdered while proselyting among the natives." The initials seemingly are wrong; it is O. E. Davis, instead of E. O. No particulars are given. In May Brother Davis wrote that he had received a call to visit some Indians about a two months' journey up the Demerara River, where no white man had ever been. This was the last heard from him. The Examiner reports that the message was sent by "the Rev. E. C. Roger, of California." This also is a mistake: the name should be E. C. Boger. This is sad news indeed. We shall be anxious to hear the details of the crime. Our sympathy is with Sister Davis, his wife.
