Obituaries

BARNES.—Died in Pittsfield, Me., June 7, 1903, Sophrona L. Barnes, aged 70 years. Sister Barnes accepted present truth about fifty years ago, and has always expressed her faith in the truth with great confidence, although deprived of meeting privileges, and the society of those of like precious faith. She leaves a husband, three sons, and three daughters to mourn their loss. Funeral sermon was given by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:26. P. B. OSBORNE.

Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to a large concourse of sympathizing friends and relatives. W. H. GRANGER.

She joined the Methodist Church at the age of sixteen, and was a consistent member of the same until October, 1894, when she accepted present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Cedar Grove, Tex. She lived a devoted Christian life, and died in the blessed hope of a soon-coming Saviour. She leaves a husband, one son, and two daughters. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Davis. G. E. KING.

CUDDEBACK.—Miss Harriet S. Wolverton Cuddeback died at Conneaut, Ohio, April 15, 1903, aged 63 years, 9 months, 23 days. At the age of fourteen she gave her heart to the Lord, and a little later was received into the Presbyterian Church. It has always been her desire to follow her Master, not afar off, but closely. About ten years ago she heard and gladly accepted the message to prepare for the coming of the Saviour. She has since continued a faithful member of the Conneaut Seventh-day Adventist church. The dear ones left behind sorrow not as others that have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 23:1, 2. A. C. SHANNON.

At the age of thirty-four she was converted and joined the Methodist Church. Six years later, under the labors of Elder W. S. Hyatt, at Mt. Sterling, Wis., she accepted present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventists, with whom she remained till her death. She was the mother of five children, four of whom are now living. She was a true Christian mother, and her last words were those of peaceful trust in her Saviour. Her burial was in the Bedford Cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN.

APT.—Died at Marion, Ohio, June 14, 1903, Laura Apt, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Apt, aged 30 years and 28 days. Although she lingered for some time in a suffering condition, she bore it patiently, and was willing, if God so ordered, to glorify him in revealing his power to keep his children who trust in him even under trials. Brother and Sister Apt have had the sad experience of laying away five of their children, but they, with the son and daughter who remain, have the full assurance, if they continue faithful unto the end, of being a united family in the kingdom of God. We laid Laura to rest in the cemetery at Caledonia, to await the call of the Life-giver. M. C. KIRKENDALL.

Waggoner, and united with the Sandyville church, of which she remained a faithful, consistent member until death. She leaves an aged husband, two sons, six grandchildren, three sisters, three brothers, one of whom is Elder J. H. Morrison, and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder Thomas Jey. J. C. VAN SYOC.

REISH.—Brother Samuel Reish was born in Union County, Pa., Feb. 24, 1826, and died of heart trouble at his home near Leslie, Iowa, June 16, 1903, aged 77 years, 3 months, 20 days. In 1858 he united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, remaining a faithful member till the last. He leaves a wife, five children, twenty-eight grandchildren, sixteen great grandchildren, and many friends to mourn their loss. But we do not need to mourn as those who have no hope, as he sleeps in Jesus, and will come again at the appearing of our Saviour. Memorial services were held in the Christian church at Leslie by the writer, assisted by C. W. Neal. G. A. LARSON.

McCLEARY.—Died at Snyder, O. T., May 31, 1903, of abscess of the liver, Mrs. Laura McCleary, aged 48 years, 7 months, 2 days. In 1880 Sister McCleary and her husband united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Des Moines, Iowa. She remained a firm believer in the third angel's message, and was ever an active and cheerful Christian, and died in the bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. She leaves a husband and eight daughters to mourn the loss of a faithful wife and mother. All but two attended the funeral, which was held at the Otter Creek schoolhouse on June 3. Rev. R. A. Barnes conducted the service. We laid mother to rest to wait only a little while until the Life-giver shall come. MAGGIE GEPFORD.

HENRY.—Departed this life near Charlotte, Mich., May 24, 1903, Ethel E. Henry, aged 28 years and 6 months. She was the only child of Thomas K. and Laura Henry. For years Sister Ethel had been an invalid. She bore her affliction with patience and fortitude, and being fully converted, she was so pleasant and cheerful that it was a pleasure to be associated with her. Her father was laid to rest until the Life-giver appears, just six months before the daughter was entombed. Her mother was her constant companion in her last sickness. Brother and Sister Henry for years did all that loving parents could do to make their afflicted child comfortable. They succeeded well, and were richly repaid as they saw her resigned and happy. Before her death Sister Ethel labored with her friends, that their lives might be consecrated to the Lord. When quite young, she was baptized, and united with the Potterville (Mich.) church. In her decease the church loses a devoted member. She leaves a loving mother, many relatives, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. Funeral service was held Tuesday, May 26, at the family residence. It was largely attended. Words of instruction and comfort were spoken by the writer. S. H. LANE.

The Donation for Australia

By S. H. Lane

THE calls for means to aid the cause are many. We should be very thankful that such is the case; for it is a fact that every call indicates that we are connected with a live, active cause. A dead cause needs nothing, and therefore makes no demands.

The situation in Australia and its needs have been ably set before us. Those who have done so have done their duty in that respect, and it now depends quite largely upon our field workers, those who come in direct contact with the rank and file of our people, to do their part in donating personally, and in encouraging the members in our churches to give liberally. There are so many of our people that when all take part in an enterprise, something is accomplished.

All the workers should read again that which has been written, and energetically and in an interesting way place the facts before the congregation. If a reading is to be read, do not read it without first becoming familiar with it yourself. Our people will give if matters are presented to them in a correct way, and no method is so inspiring and effective as the facts coming from the living agent.

We trust all our ministers and laborers in responsible positions, in connection with church officers, will do all they can to stimulate a large turnout, and make the meetings of July 4 a success. Our country is in a prosperous condition, and the cause is one in all parts of the world; therefore let us lift as we have done many times in the past. We trust the exercises of that Sabbath may be rich in spiritual blessing.

Appeal for the Work in Australia

SISTER WHITE has written an earnest appeal in behalf of the work in Australia, which will be read in all the churches in this country next Sabbath. One sentence sounds the keynote for all efforts in behalf of the extension of this message: “Meet around the cross of Calvary in self-sacrifice and self-denial.”

An Incident

By John N. Quinn

LAST evening, on my return from work at the Office, I related some of the incidents mentioned in Sister Robinson's article on the distress in Australia. I was not a little interested to note what effect it would have upon my children. They began to ask questions as to why God did not send rain and break the drought. I explained as best I could. Then I noticed that a struggle was taking place in the mind of my oldest girl. Asking to be excused from the supper table, she went to her room, and in a short time came down with her savings of several weeks. She had her heart set on a parasol; but with her eyes sparkling, she said, as she counted the money, "Papa, I want to give all this money to the hungry people of Australia." I assured her the Lord would be pleased with her offering, and would bless her. She looks forward to next Sabbath with pleasure, when she will be able to give her all to the needy cause. If those of us who are older would do likewise, the offering for Australia would be large, and God's offering in return would make us rich in the graces of the Holy Spirit. May our hearts be opened both to give and to receive, so the glory of the Lord may cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea.

JOHN N. QUINN.

Another Word in Behalf of Our Brethren Across the Sea

By A. G. Daniells

OUR fathers to whom the great threefold message of Rev. 14: 6-14 was first revealed understood that the movement they were inaugurating was to be worldwide. So sure and certain were they of this, that, though few in numbers, and poor in means, all their plans were laid for the conquest of the world. They personally crossed seas and continents, and established this cause in many countries. Were the same faith and zeal that moved our fathers to control all who are now identified with this movement, a wonderful work would be seen in the world.

Eighteen years ago Brethren Haskell, Corliss, and Israel, with their families and a few other workers, pioneered Australasia. They encountered great obstacles, but in the name of the Lord they conquered. They saw many precious souls accept this truth. The work these pioneers began in that country has never moved backward. It is a living, growing movement to-day. But it still needs help from the home field, and on the fourth of July we shall all have the privilege of extending that help.

Let us remember that Australasia is separated from other continents by thousands of miles of water, which makes it absolutely necessary to have complete organizations and institutions. They must manage and develop the work themselves. This has made it necessary to establish in a few short years in that country what we were many years in developing in America. To my knowledge our brethren in Australasia have paid at least ten thousand dollars in traveling expenses alone, to place their children in our American institutions to give them training for the work they were called to do. But even at this great expense only a very few of the young people could secure the training required, until we established schools, printing plants, and sanitariums in that country.

Let us remember all their needs as we make our fourth-of-July offering. The Lord's good hand is surely over the work there. During the long, terrible drought that has devastated Australasia, our school at Avondale has been spared. A letter recently received from Brother E. W. Farnsworth, contains this statement: “Our school is of the Lord. We have bountiful harvests of all kinds right in the midst of the most distressing drought you ever conceived of, a little green oasis in a vast stretch of desert extending for hundreds of miles, the only green spot in New South Wales, as the Sydney Telegraph said.”

Not once since this school has been established have the crops failed. God has shown that he is still able to spread a table in the wilderness. And yet for our good he calls upon his people in America to aid his needy cause there. This will unite our hearts and interests as they could not be united in any other way. Pledges will be received from those who are not able to do all they desire now. These can be redeemed later.

A. G. DANIELLS.
