Obituaries: Martha Johnson, Stephen Hickok, and Mary Ann Coon

Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.

Johnson.—Died at Batesville, Ark., Sept. 5, 1902, Sister Martha Johnson. The deceased was born April 29, 1854. In the summer of 1901 the third angel’s message was preached at Batesville, and she and her husband took their stand for the truth. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, Ps. 116:15 being presented as a token of love and comfort. Urbanus Bender.

Hickok.—Stephen W. Hickok was born Feb. 4, 1831, in Allegany Co., N. Y., and died of disease of the throat, Aug. 13, 1902, at his home, near Gravenhurst, Ontario. Previously to 1863 Brother Hickok was a member of the Seventh-day Baptist denomination, since then a zealous believer in the third angel’s message. The last eleven years were spent in the canvassing work, until within a few weeks of his death. His faithful companion and three sons survive him. Remarks were made on the occasion of his funeral from 2 Tim. 4:7, 8, by the writer. F. W. Morse.

Coon.—Died at Lincklaen Center, N. Y., Sept. 7, 1902, Sister Mary Ann Coon. Sister Coon was afflicted with a tumor, but bore her suffering without murmuring. She has always observed the Bible Sabbath, first as a Seventh-day Baptist, and later as a Seventh-day Adventist. Her life was that of a consistent Christian. A husband, four children, and many other relatives and friends mourn their loss. Remarks were made at the funeral by the writer; text, John 14:1–3, a scripture of her own selection. G. B. Thompson.

Meeks.—Allen Meeks died at his home, near Star of the West, Ark., Sept. 5, 1902. He lacked five days of being 74 years old. He came to this country when he was a young man. About twenty-eight years ago he received a knowledge of present truth through reading. He took a prominent part in church work, and knew what it was to be persecuted for righteousness’ sake, being one of those who suffered under the Sunday law in this State, being indicted twice. He leaves five children to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Job 19:25. A. E. Field.

Morris.—Fell asleep in Jesus at the home of her father, in Newberg, Ore., Aug. 19, 1902, my dear sister-in-law, Sara M. Morris, aged 24 years, 9 months, and 8 days. Her death was caused by consumption. Five months ago she accepted Christ as her Saviour, from which time she lived a consistent Christian life. She leaves a father, two brothers, and other relatives, but we sorrow not as others who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by Rev. Bruellette (Presbyterian) from Rev. 14:13. Mrs. W. H. Morris.

Benson.—Died in Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 23, 1902, after a long and painful illness of tuberculosis and chronic diarrhea, Mrs. Bell Benson. She gave her heart to the Lord and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1889. She died in full faith of a soon-coming Saviour. Funeral services were held by the writer. A. C. Shannon.

Walsworth.—Died at Adams Center, N. Y., Sept. 8, 1902, Samuel N. Walsworth, aged 80 years. In 1862, through the labors of Elders J. N. Andrews and M. E. Cornell, he accepted the truths of the third angel’s message, becoming a charter member of the Adams Center church. His consistent life has ever been a living testimony of an indwelling Saviour. The coming of the Lord was his joy. An aged sister and other relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. The writer presented the Christian’s hope at the funeral, using as a text 2 Tim. 4:6–8. G. B. Thompson.

Workers Leaving America for Foreign Fields

QUITE a number of workers are now leaving America for other fields. Brother and Sister W. H. Wakeham and four children, of Ohio, left New York for London on Wednesday of last week. They will go on to Hamburg, and from there to Egypt, which will be Brother Wakeham’s field of labor. On Wednesday, October 1, another party will sail from New York. It will include Brother and Sister Carl Jensen and Sister Myrtle Asay, of Iowa, and Brother and Sister J. Nethery, of Nebraska, who go to England, Sister Cora Blodgett, of Nebraska, who goes to Natal, South Africa, and Brother B. L. Morse, of Nebraska, who goes to France. Five days later another party will sail from Vancouver for the Orient. It will consist of the Doctors Lockwood, recently of the Portland (Oregon) Sanitarium, for Japan, the first medical workers to go to that field, and Brother and Sister E. H. Wilbur, of Iowa, for China. We rejoice that re-enforcements are thus going to the front, and we pray that they may be brought safely to their various destinations, and greatly blessed in their work.

Another Company of Missionaries

By Arthur G. Daniells

DURING the past few weeks a great wave of blessing has swept over many of our camp grounds, as the needs of foreign fields have been presented to the people. Such a response has never before been witnessed in this denomination.

At the Nebraska camp meeting three hundred earnest, devoted young people deliberately, and without excitement, consecrated themselves to the missionary work in home and foreign fields. From among the many volunteers in several States a company of devoted young people has been made up for England and Europe. Some are to enter the canvassing work in England, others will attend the Bible school in London, and enter the canvassing, or Bible work later.

The next company to be sent will sail in October, and we need the money to pay their traveling expenses. The cost will be from seventy-five dollars to one hundred and twenty-five dollars for each person. We need at least twelve hundred dollars right away to meet these expenses, and we urgently request our lay brethren and our conferences to help us what they can.

We suggest that conferences which are able to do so send us from twenty-five to one hundred dollars each toward this account. Schools and churches might unite in making up a contribution, and there are hundreds of our people who will doubtless esteem it a privilege to help send these missionaries to needy fields.

God is working with his people, and turning their hearts toward distant lands. Strong young men and women are consecrating their lives to the service. Who will help us by contributing toward their traveling expenses?

Send all contributions to the Mission Board, 267 West Main St., Battle Creek, Mich.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Semiannual Offering for the Haskell and James White Homes

SABBATH, October 4, is the day for the semiannual offering to the Haskell and James White Homes. Will the church and Sabbath-school officers kindly make the announcement on the preceding Sabbath, September 27, and call attention to the October issue of the Haskell Home Appeal? It will be mailed to REVIEW subscribers, and will contain items concerning the Homes, and articles of interest to mothers.

Illinois Conference Divided into Northern and Southern

At the recent camp meeting in Illinois the State was divided into two conferences by a line running east and west between Peoria and Springfield. These conferences will be known as the Northern Illinois Conference and the Southern Illinois Conference. Brother Allen Moon was elected president of the Northern Conference, which will have a membership of about eleven hundred, and a tithe of about ten thousand dollars. Brother S. H. Lane was elected president of the Southern Conference, which will have a membership of about six hundred, and a tithe of about four thousand dollars.

Our Special Number of the Scandinavian Papers

By C. A. Thorp

IN the State of Iowa our people have taken hold in earnest to help in circulating these excellent numbers. They have sent us an order for ten thousand copies, and the prospect is that they will use many more. On a certain Sabbath a collection will be taken up throughout the State, and a special season of prayer will be participated in for the success of this work.

At the camp meetings in Wisconsin and Michigan this matter was brought to the attention of the whole congregation, and quite an interest was aroused and assistance promised. Already we have received a number of orders from different localities as a result of this, and we hope that none will forget to fulfill their promises, but that all will send in their orders soon.

This is encouraging, and such assistance in this good work is very much appreciated. May we not hear from others? We expect to have these numbers ready the first week in October. The name of the Danish-Norwegian paper is Evangeliets Sendebud (Gospel Messenger), and of the Swedish Sions Väktare (Zions Watchman).

C. A. THORP.

Daniells, Palmer, and Prescott to Attend Camp Meetings

BRETHREN A. G. DANIELLS, E. R. Palmer, and W. W. Prescott will attend the Kansas State camp meeting, which opens this week. Brethren Daniells and Palmer will then attend the California camp meeting.

Why We Should Study Daniel and Revelation

By Editor

WE invite special attention to this week's study in the gospel message on page 4. It is the first of two or three articles which will deal directly with the question why we ought to study and teach the books of Daniel and Revelation.

American Medical Missionary College Opens Eighth Year

The first term of the eighth year of the American Medical Missionary College opens on Wednesday of this week. It is expected that there will be about twenty in the freshman class.

Omissions from the Michigan Conference Report

By Editor

WE have omitted from the report of the Michigan Conference, found on page 19, such information as was given in the partial report of the meeting published in our issue of September 9. The two reports taken together cover the ground quite fully.

Is Your Home Under New Management?

By David Paulson

A WRETCHED excuse for a home is worse than a saloon, brothel, or gambling den; for it constantly tends to drive some members of such a family to frequent these places.

If the Lord has already had an opportunity to make your home a small heaven on earth, then he will certainly use you to co-operate tactfully and tenderly with him in bringing other homes under a new and divine management, so that this sign can truthfully be hung out, “This home has changed hands.”

We must have better homes before we can expect to have better churches and institutions. It is the recognition of this fact that has led us to make the October Life Boat a special home and purity number. Such experienced workers as A. T. Jones, Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Kellogg, Mrs. W. S. Sadler, Miss Fannie Emmel, and others will contribute helpful articles on true home making, which will undoubtedly be used of God to elevate and transform thousands of the homes that this number will enter.

Will you send us the names and addresses, and a two-cent stamp for each name, of all those homes in your community that you feel impressed should receive this number of The Life Boat, and also order a liberal quantity to supply personally to others? When they have read it, the majority of them will thank you for the interest that you have taken in their behalf, and that will open the way for you to do them still greater good. We may do a world of good in our respective communities. Pray over this matter, and then do as the Lord may direct you. Address The Life Boat, 28 Thirty-third Place, Chicago, Ill.

DAVID PAULSON.
