Death of Elder E. H. Wilbur

By Editor

SAD news comes by cable from Shanghai. Under date of May 2 the General Conference received a code message which, translated, reads: “Wilbur died yesterday. Cannot give any particulars.” This means that our fellow laborer, Elder E. H. Wilbur, has fallen at his post. He and his family were located in Pakhoi, in the southernmost part of Kwang-tung Province, on the Gulf of Tonking. We know that the sympathy and prayers of all our readers will be with Sister Wilbur and the children, and with the parents and relatives in this country. It will be some weeks before particulars of this sad loss will be received. Elder Wilbur was a faithful and devoted missionary, and loved the people among whom he labored.
