Death of Mrs. Delia A. Thompson

By Editor

ON Sabbath morning, May 2, Mrs. Delia A. Thompson, wife of Elder George B. Thompson, was stricken by death. While she was in a serious condition for several days following an operation, the friends of Sister Thompson were hoping for and expecting her recovery. This sudden overturning of our hopes came as a fearful shock to Brother Thompson and to all who knew his faithful companion. Sister Thompson was an efficient helper in the work of the church and Sabbath school, and holds a very tender place in the hearts of all who knew her. Our sympathy and prayers are with Brother Thompson in this time of his great bereavement, knowing that the burdens which he bears in connection with this message will be greater now that the one who has helped him bear them has been taken from him. The funeral services were held in the Takoma Park church, and were conducted by Elder A. G. Daniells, assisted by Elders W. A. Spicer, W. T. Knox, and F. M. Wilcox. While we sorrow with Brother Thompson over the loss of his companion, we are glad to be able to testify to the beautiful life and godly example of the one thus taken, who now sleeps in Jesus.
