Another Worker Fallen

By T. E. Bowen

LAST week the sad message was cabled from China announcing the death of Miss Gertrude Thompson, from typhoid. Sister Gertrude went out to China in September, 1910, and with her sister Ida has been conducting a girls' school near Canton.
Her death will come as a severe stroke to the self-sacrificing parents in Wisconsin, who, when they dedicated Gertrude to China, had placed three of their children upon the altar of service in that land. Mrs. J. N. Anderson was the first to go; Ida followed, then Gertrude. On receiving the cable at the Mission Board office, Mrs. Anderson immediately left Washington to break the news to the parents in Wisconsin.
The cause in China suffers great loss in the death of this faithful, devoted sister. T. E. BOWEN.
