Death of William Newton Glenn
By Editor
With deep feelings of sadness we record the loss of one of our faithful workers, the oldest and longest with the Pacific Press of any of our office force, William Newton Glenn, associate editor of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. He was taken with a severe chill, Sabbath, November 24, which rapidly developed into pneumonia in one lung. Everything was done that could be done by skilful physicians and intelligent nurses. The crisis of the disease passed safely in one week, and temperature fell to normal, but the extremely weak heart was not strong enough to throw off in the circulation the poisons in the system, and the next day acute jaundice set in and he failed rapidly, falling asleep, near sunset, Sabbath, December 1, in his seventieth year. More of the particulars of his life and service will be given next week. Personally he has been directly associated with us for eighteen years, and we feel his loss greatly, but our heart goes out to the bereaved widow, who, in her feeble health, will feel her loss more keenly and deeply than words can express. May God comfort her heart in this sad hour of sorrow.
