Our Fallen Brother

By T. E. Bowen

ALTHOUGH announcement has been made in the Review of the death of Brother Esta Miller, at Shanghai, China, Feb. 19, 1912, it was not possible at that time to insert his picture, for no photograph was at hand. We are glad to present it herewith.

From the last report Brother Miller wrote, we quote the following, as sent by Brother Allum, from China: —

"We opened a street chapel in Hankow, and held meetings daily. In February five were baptized, these being our first converts in the province of Hupeh. In May another out-station was opened at Chang Djang Poo, forty miles inland from Hankow, and now there is a large company of believers in that place. Later, five others were baptized, and a church of sixteen members was organized. Our chapel in Hankow was burned when the city was destroyed. The Lord has greatly blessed in the starting of our work, for which we feel to rejoice."

Brother Allum adds: "In the death of Brother Esta Miller our mission mourns the loss of a worker who was dearly beloved by all who knew him."

Let us pray that the work so well begun by our fallen brother may be carried forward successfully by other consecrated laborers, and many be saved at harvest-time. T. E. BOWEN.
