A. J. S. Bourdeau Stricken by Lightning
By Editor
THE hearts of all the workers in this office have been made sad by the receipt of the following telegram from Elder A. G. Daniells, dated at Washington, D. C., July 19: "Augustin Bourdeau and Edward Andrews, second son of Charlie Andrews, were killed by lightning to-day under a tree in front of my office. Brother Bourdeau's little girl was thrown to the ground but not killed. She may recover." For a number of years, Brother Bourdeau was connected with our work on the Pacific coast in a leading capacity. Later he returned to the East, engaging himself with the Review and Herald Publishing Company, where he labored with earnestness and success until a few months ago, when he accepted a call to stand at the head of the English Department of our school at South Lancaster, Massachusetts. He was talented, and had a well-trained mind, and a sincere, deep, Christian purpose. In Brother Bourdeau this cause loses a most valuable laborer in the very prime of his life of usefulness. He was widely known, and his wife and three little children will have the warmest sympathy from all connected with the cause that Brother Bourdeau served so faithfully and well. A later dispatch states that Brother Bourdeau's funeral was held in Takoma Park, Washington, July 21, at 2:00 P. M. Edward Andrews is a young grandson of the late J. N. Andrews, who was one of the pioneers in this movement.
