BUNTIN.—Dorothy, only child of Virgil and Berta Buntin, was born Sept. 3, 1902, and died at Lebanon, Ind., March 29, 1914. All through her long illness she was very patient, and manifested childlike faith in God. The writer conducted the funeral service, assisted by Pastor Charmichal of the Presbyterian Church. C. N. Sanders.

WILLETT.—Amelia Willett was a native of Manchester, England. She and her husband came to America in 1907, making their home in Roseburg, Oregon. Sister Willett was led to accept the truths held by Seventh-day Adventists four years ago, as the result of careful Bible study. She remained a consistent member of this church until her death, which occurred March 19, 1914. She was twenty-nine years of age. Her companion, two little girls, and a number of other relatives mourn her untimely death. She sleeps in Jesus, and her loved ones sorrow in hope. J. M. Hopkins.

BOND.—James Monroe Bond, a native of Iowa, died at Healdsburg, Cal., March 22, 1914, at the age of 66 years, 4 months, and 5 days. When he was five years old, his parents crossed the plains to the wilds of Oregon with an ox team. There the child grew to manhood, married, and then moved to central California, where he spent a number of years in farming. During that time he felt that he was called to minister to the sick. Hence, after completing a nurses' course and spending some time in treatment-room work, he entered a San Francisco medical college, from which he was graduated in 1893. He practiced medicine in California until 1906, when, with his son, he opened a sanitarium at Phoenix, Ariz. Dr. Bond continued his practice there until 1911, when he took up the work of chaplain and associate physician in the Healdsburg (Cal.) Medical Home. There he zealously devoted himself to gospel medical work, and more than a score of patients embraced present truth through his ministry. His wife and nine children survive. All his children are engaged in denominational work, Elders Frank and Walter Bond being missionaries in Spain. George W. Rine.

DUNBAR.—Howard Whitcomb Dunbar was born at La Junta, Colo., Oct. 14, 1899, and died at Loma Linda, Cal., March 27, 1914. He bore his long illness patiently, and fell asleep hoping to meet his Saviour in the resurrection morning. He is survived by his mother, grandparents, a brother, and a sister. Luther Warren.

LICK.—Lucy Ann Worden Lick was born in Bristol, N. Y., in 1830, and died at the home of her son near Salem, Oregon, March 31, 1914. At the age of eighteen years she was married to Sherman Lick, and to them were born two sons. Ten years later she was left a widow. For more than forty years the deceased faithfully kept God's commandments, and in the hope of a soon-coming Saviour she fell asleep. The third angel's message came to her through the labors of Elder Isaac Sanborn while she was living in Wisconsin. She is survived by one son, two brothers, and one sister. H. G. Thurston.

ROSE.—Lela Wood was born in Bonacca Island, Honduras, Central America, in 1890, and died in Coxen Hole, Roatan, Honduras, Feb. 21, 1914. She was reared in the truth, and was baptized by Elder E. L. Cardey some eight years ago. She was a consistent Christian, and took an active part in both the young people's society and the general church and missionary work. The deceased was married to Bentley Ross in February, 1912. Besides her companion and infant daughter, her parents, one brother, and five sisters survive. She died in the full assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Christopher Jones.

CROUSE.—W. F. Crouse was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Feb. 11, 1828, and died suddenly at Moline, Kans., Jan. 6, 1914. When he was eight years of age his parents moved to Ohio, where he was converted to God. On May 5, 1850, he was married to Samantha Leake. To them were born seven sons, four of whom are still living. The deceased removed his family to Iowa soon after his marriage, and there accepted the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists. During his long life his faith in the third angel's message never wavered. He was a constant reader of the Review and Herald, and was devoted to the cause he loved. Many were brought into the truth through his labors. In 1896 his companion died, and two years later he was married to Paulina Heligass, who was taken from him in 1911. The funeral service was conducted in the church of which Brother Crouse had been elder for the last twelve years of his life. J. M. Gibbs.
