The Death of Joseph W. Collie
By Editor
We regret to chronicle the death of Joseph W. Collie, a one-time worker in this office, and a good, true friend always of this journal, and, at the time of his death, a special correspondent of the SIGNS in the Rocky Mountain field. He was ever an active, energetic worker, all life and action. A year ago he was president of Ontario Conference, but was forced to leave that field of labor, and went to Colorado, hoping to obtain help. There seemed at first improvement, and it pained and surprised us to learn of his death. We are doubly sad in the loss of a brother and friend, and in the greater loss to the cause of God. Following upon the death of Brethren N. H. Druillard, at Berrien Springs, Mich., and J. H. Watson, in South Africa, the blow falls all the more keenly. “God buries His workmen, but carries on His work.” And so we close ranks, and press forward with renewed courage and zeal.
