Obituaries

McConnell.—Sister Mollie McConnell, of Anderson, S. C., died at her home, April 1, 1909, of tuberculosis. She accepted present truth in 1908, the first in the city of Anderson to do so. She was bitterly opposed by her family and some of her former church companions, but through it all she meekly and quietly bore her trial until death came. She went to rest with the hope of a part in the first resurrection. Services were conducted by Reverend Boyed, of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. H. B. Gallion.

Snow.—Died in Healdsburg, Cal., April 8, 1909, of tuberculosis, Mary E. Snow, aged 45 years, 4 months, and 3 days. Sister Snow descended from Quaker ancestors. She was born in Wisconsin, but removed with her parents to Iowa, where she gave her heart to Christ while still a young girl. On reaching womanhood, she married Mr. C. T. Snow, and three years later accepted the truths of the third angel's message. Removing to California twenty years ago, she was baptized at a camp-meeting held in Oakland, after which she united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Santa Rosa. They later moved to Sebastopol, Cal., she becoming a charter member of the Seventh-day Adventist church in that place, and continued her connection therewith until her death. Sister Snow's consistent Christian life won for her the respect of the entire community in which she lived, as well as the love and esteem of her brethren and sisters in the church. She was a

devoted wife and mother, and leaves a husband, three sons, and three daughters to mourn their loss. We laid her to rest to await the coming of the Life-giver. Funeral services were held in the Seventh-day Adventist church in Sebastopol, where the writer spoke, from Job 14:1-15, to a large and attentive audience. M. G. Kellogg.

Wilbur.—Died at Carthage, Mo., March 10, 1909, Clarence S. Wilbur, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilbur. Clarence was baptized Feb. 16, 1902, at the age of eleven. From the beginning of his sickness he seemed to realize that he would not get well; and many times said that he was ready to go, and urged those about him to meet him in the kingdom of our Lord. He was always faithful in the payment of tithes and offerings. The cause of death was appendicitis and weak heart. M. Mackintosh.

Voght.—Died at her home in Silverbeach, near Bellingham, Wash., Mrs. Eva C. Voght, aged 41 years, 3 months, and 9 days. Sister Voght was born in Waukegan, Ill., Dec. 22, 1867, and died of cancer of the stomach March 31, 1909. During the last few years of her life, she became acquainted with the third angel's message, and gladly accepted it. She died in the full assurance of faith. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn their loss; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:12, 13. And then we laid her to rest in the beautiful Bay View Cemetery, to await the Life-giver. J. W. Boynton.

Renschler.—Died at Crossfield, Alberta, Canada, April 1, 1909, Andrew Renschler, aged 40 years, 5 months, and 19 days. While driving to market, a distance of thirty-five miles, on a wagon without a box, the team became frightened, and ran, throwing him under the wheel. Death immediately followed. He leaves a wife and two adopted children to mourn their loss. For the past fourteen years Brother Renschler has been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder H. Block and the writer. C. A. Burman.

Loe.—Died at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Avery, near Bowling Green, Ohio, April 6, 1909, Nellie E. Loe (née Boardman), aged 26 years, 8 months, and 6 days. On March 7, 1902, she was united in marriage to Brother C. A. Loe, with whom she shared the joys and sorrows incident to this mortal life till separated by death. Nellie was favored with the advantages of a Christian home from her birth, her parents having previously embraced the message of present truth. When about twelve years of age, she was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of Bowling Green, where she retained her membership, and held the respect, confidence, and love of her brethren, to the end. About two years ago she was threatened with pulmonary trouble, and a change of climate was recommended, with the hope that favorable results would follow. After spending some time in California and Arizona in a fruitless search for health, she returned three months before the end came, to spend her last days among the tried and true friends of her childhood. Here she was tenderly cared for as long as mortal hands could serve her, and fell asleep perfectly resigned to the will of her Saviour and trusting in him to be awakened at the resurrection of the just. She was the youngest child and only daughter of Elder and Mrs. R. A. Boardman, who, with her brother, preceded her to the tomb. During her entire illness, she received the undivided attention and affection of her husband, who mourns his loss, but is comforted with the blessed hope of meeting and greeting her again when Jesus comes. Funeral services were held in the church April 8, at 2 P. M., conducted by the writer. Words of comfort were drawn from the language of Jesus, 'Weep not: she is not dead, but sleepeth,' in Luke 8:52. H. H. Burkholder.

Murphy.—Sister Cornelia Murphy, wife of Elder Thomas Murphy, died April 19, 1909. She was principal of the Vicksburg school for more than two years, under the auspices of the Southern Missionary Society. Sister Murphy's last words to her husband were: 'I am resting in Jesus; all is well.' She was laid to rest in the city cemetery at Vicksburg, after an impressive service in the Seventh-day Adventist church, words of comfort being spoken from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14, by the writer. W. F. Gaskin.

Maryott.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Janesville, Wis., April 18, 1909, Mrs. Henry Maryott, aged 68 years, 6 months, and 4 days. The family were living happily in the truth, when it was God's will that the father should have the blessing of Rev. 14:13. Only five weeks elapsed, and the sorrow-stricken family were called upon to lay the mother to rest also. Ps. 30:5, last clause, was chosen as a means to send some rays of sunshine into hearts darkened by the gloom of the valley of the shadow of death. Four children are left to prepare for the meeting at the morning dawn. May none be left out. W. W. Stebbins.

Wade.—Died in Canon City, Colo., Feb. 14, 1909, Mrs. Margaret Halferty Wade, aged 67 years, 4 months, and 11 days. Sister Wade gave her heart to God in her youth, and united with the Baptist Church. In 1892 she accepted the truths of the message for this time, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she was a faithful member at the time of her death. For more than a year Sister Wade was unable to leave her bed, yet she did not murmur, but committed her all unto him who doeth all things well. Two sons, two daughters, and one stepson are left to mourn, yet not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Sam. 20:3, last clause. B. L. Dieffenbacher.

Guthrie.—Died at Montreal, Canada, Jan. 4, 1909, Earnestine Vashti Guthrie, daughter of Elder and Mrs. William Guthrie, aged 13 years, 11 months, and 11 days. She was buried at Corydon, Pa., Jan. 8, 1909. Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal church at Corydon. Typhoid fever was the cause of her untimely death. She was an earnest Christian girl, and was working hard with her music, getting ready to help her father in his work. By special request the hymn, 'Beautiful Angels Watching Close By,' was sung at her funeral, as it was her favorite hymn. Those left to mourn her death are her father, mother, two brothers, and a large number of other relatives. Words of comfort and consolation were spoken by the writer from John 11:25. F. H. Robbins.

Miller.—Brother M. P. Miller died at his home in Salamanca, N. Y., April 9, 1909, aged thirty years and one month. Brother Miller was left an orphan at a very early age, and his lot fell among those who were very unkind, though claiming to be Christians. Because of these early influences, he came to the conclusion that there was no God to care for the homeless. Having a disposition to succeed in life, he acquired a good education, and during the Spanish-American War saw service in the Philippines as a soldier. There he contracted malarial fever, which ultimately resulted in his death. During the spring of 1906, he heard, read, and joyfully accepted the truth, in which he saw a Father's love. A few months later he was married to Sister M. Belle Leonard, little thinking that in a short time he must take his bed to be tenderly ministered to, for two years, by the one he had taken to care for. All was done that loving hands could do, but the Lord did not see fit to heal him, and we finally had to lay him away to rest 'a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.' He was a most patient sufferer, greatly desiring to help carry the message till Jesus comes, but praying always, 'Thy will be done.' Words of comfort were spoken by Elder F. H. Peabody. Mrs. Mary L. Van Slyke.

Hall.—Eliza Pierce was born in Steuben County, New York, April 6, 1847, and died at her home in Bellingham, Wash., April 8, 1909, of heart failure. She was married in 1864 to Albert Bacon, by whom she had one daughter. About thirty-four years ago she was married to E. S. Hall, by whom she had two daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral service. She accepted the truth and united with the church in Michigan many years ago, and remained faithful until death. She leaves a husband, three daughters, and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. On the funeral occasion, words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from John 11:25. J. W. Boynton.

Gannaway.—Cornelia Brown Gannaway was born in Mississippi, April 15, 1885, and died April 5, 1909. She was married to John Gannaway, May 18, 1904. To this union were born two children; one, a daughter, still survives; and she and her father are left to mourn their loss. Sister Gannaway was converted, and baptized into the third angel's message, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Denver, Colo., in 1904. She lived a consistent Christian life, bearing with gentle patience her long illness—tuberculosis. She sleeps in the hope of the soon-coming Saviour. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Isa. 57:1, 2. He was assisted in the service by Brother W. B. Emery. T. H. Branch.

Schulte.—Brother Herman Schulte was born in Germany in 1834, came to the United States in 1854, and was united in marriage to Mrs. Hahne in 1868. Quite early in life Brother Schulte united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1890 he, together with his family, accepted present truth at New Haven, Mo. Until the time of his death he remained a faithful member of the church, and rejoiced in the hope of seeing his Saviour in the clouds of heaven. February 26 of this present year he came to Keene, Tex., to spend his remaining days with his stepson, Brother William Hahne, with whom he was living at the time of his death, which occurred April 7. His companion and eight children mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13, Elder C. Santee assisting in the services. C. Sorenson.

Gilbert.—Died at Wells, Minn., March 28, 1909, O. A. Gilbert. He was born in Christiansand, Norway, April 5, 1839. When thirty-one years of age, he came to the United States. After a few years' residence in Wisconsin, he moved to Minnesota, where he spent the remaining years of his life. In 1875 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Larson, who, with four daughters and one son, survives his death. Soon after his arrival in the United States, he accepted the truths of the third angel's message, under the labors of Elder J. G. Matteson. Father's chief delight was to hear of the advancement of God's truth, and to aid in its extension; and he fell asleep trusting in the Life-giver. The funeral services, held in the Seventh-day Adventist church at Wells, were conducted by Elder R. A. Underwood. A. C. Gilbert.

Butler.—Mrs. Luvina Butler, widow of Elder T. J. Butler, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Read, near Battle Creek, Mich., on April 17, 1909. She survived her husband only two weeks over a year. Her maiden name was Luvina Stout, and her father's family were among the pioneers of Ohio, living near Coshocton, where she was born and reared. In 1857 she was united in marriage to T. J. Butler, both being members of the Disciple Church. Two years later they embraced the Sabbath of the Lord and kindred truths, and soon were engaged in public labor in behalf of the message for our times. Four of their seven children grew to manhood and womanhood, and were present during the last hours of their mother. Sister Butler remained true to her profession and convictions, and though she desired to live, she fell asleep in full assurance of her Saviour's love. G. C. Tenney.

Signs of the Times Magazine for June, 1909

By Editor

There have been most stirring events during the last month, and some leading men of international fame have made some striking statements concerning them. These events that are so literally fulfilling prophecy are reviewed in Current Topics of the June number of the Signs of the Times magazine, and make that a very important feature.

The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy

M. C. Wilcox shows how the records of old Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt are being brought out to fulfil the Word of God, and to silence the infidels and critics. Ten illustrations help to make this article impressive. The following is a brief description of these illustrations:—

No. 1.—Fragment of a baked clay tablet inscribed with the Babylonian account of the deluge, confirming the Scripture account.

No. 2.—Baked clay cylinder of Nabonidus, one of the kings of Babylon.

No. 3.—Inscription of Hammurabi, the Amraphel of Genesis 14.

No. 4.—One side of the Black Obelisk set up by Shalmaneser II, King of Assyria, to record the victories of the thirty-one military expeditions of his reign.

No. 5.—A cylinder of Cyrus inscribed with an account of the capture of the city of Babylon, confirming the record in the book of Daniel.

No. 6.—A portion of a stele of Pharaoh Mer Neptah, mentioning Israel in Egypt.

No. 7.—A bas-relief of Sargon II, and the capture of Samaria.

No. 8.—Clay cylinder of Sennacherib, confirming the story of Sennacherib’s invasion as recorded in 2 Kings 18:13-15.

No. 9.—An inscribed cylinder of Nebuchadnezzar, referring to his restoration of the tower of Babel and the building of the edifices in Babylon. See Dan. 4:29, 30.

No. 10.—A record which mentions the death of Belshazzar, confirming the account of Daniel 5.

Following this excellent article by Elder Wilcox, we have one from Mrs. E. G. White, on the “Sufferings of Christ in Gethsemane;” another from George McCready Price, telling the “Story of Creation as Revealed in the Bible;” a Bible Reading by Elder J. O. Corliss; and other general articles of no less importance.

Subscription Price

Single copy, 10 cents; 1 to 25 copies, 5 cents a copy; 25 to 500 copies, 4 cents a copy; 500 to 1,000 copies, 3½ cents a copy. Agents wanted in every city and town. Address your tract society, or Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Cal.

The San Francisco Ship Mission

By Chas. W. Peter

THIS branch of the Master's harvest-field is in need of the following:—

Between thirty and fifty metal reading-racks, to cost from $1 to $1.50 each. These will be placed in cabins of steamers, some on new steamers, and others where the old ones have been taken down while painting, and destroyed.

Seven sets of the most important of our books are being made up to place in the libraries of seven important steamers plying between San Francisco and other points. Part of these books are on hand. One sister has donated eighteen books, with the proviso that they be placed on the ships soon. Other books have been sent from San Jose and Eureka. Do what you can now, so these books can be placed soon. There are some more battle-ships we want to supply with sets of our books.

BACK numbers of the Signs of the Times can be bought at a low price, and Bible Training School for nine dollars per one thousand copies. Churches and missionary societies are requested to furnish these at this low figure, to be placed for free distribution on the ships. Clubs of the Weekly Signs are wanted. These new, up-to-date Signs are placed in the first-class cabins of Oriental liners, and in the staterooms of the officers of the transport service. I am in sore need of these clubs coming weekly. Will you assist in this?

A folding organ is also needed in holding meetings on the sailing vessels in the stream.

I will here thank all those who have sent reading-matter for this work. Your assistance and your prayers are requested in this important branch of the work. Mail should be addressed to me at 1454 Pomona Ave., Fruitvale, Cal. Freight should be prepaid, and labeled Melrose, Cal.

CHAS. W. PETER.

General Conference News and Youth’s Instructor Growth

Quite a proportion of the delegates to the General Conference from foreign fields had arrived when this paper went to press, and the number was being increased daily. Among those from the home field who reached Washington last week were Sister E. G. White and Brother W. C. White, who had spent about three weeks on the journey from California, stopping at Loma Linda, Cal.; Huntsville, Ala.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Asheville, N. C. Sister White spoke at those places, and was naturally somewhat weary on arriving here, but she is now feeling quite well. A restful home has been provided for her in Elder G. A. Irwin’s new house, near the large meeting tent.

The volume of business on the Youth’s Instructor during March was the largest in its history, showing a gain of $1,895.55 over the amount of business done during the corresponding month one year ago. This increase is largely the result of the campaign with the Temperance number.

General Conference Reports

By Editor

ARTICLES of unusual length, and we think of corresponding importance, compel us to extend the Editorial department to seven pages this week. The publication of the address of the president, and the report of the secretary of the General Conference, and the list of delegates, makes it necessary to omit some of the general matter this week. During the next month the REVIEW will give as full a report of the General Conference as the space will permit, the usual departments being temporarily discontinued.

ONCE more we urge our readers to supply themselves with the full reports of the General Conference which will be published in the General Conference Bulletin. The proceedings of the Conference will be found valuable not only for present reading, but for future reference. Order direct from the General Conference Office. Price, fifty cents.

Protestant Magazine Subscriptions

By Editor

IN one day last week, three hundred cash subscriptions to the Protestant Magazine were received at this Office, in addition to orders which were sent through tract societies. The first copy of the magazine is now being sent to the subscribers, and we hope it will fulfil their expectations concerning it.

Dr. Ingersoll Passes British Medical Examinations

WE are glad to learn from London that Dr. R. S. Ingersoll has successfully passed the examinations in that city for the British medical degree. His friends feel that he is to be congratulated on meeting the requirements in so short a time, after having been out of school work in the busy practise of the India mission field for ten years. He has been invited to join the medical staff of the Washington Sanitarium.

June Number of Life and Health

By Editor

ALL current orders for Life and Health must now be filled with the June number, as the orders for the May issue received up to May 6 called for more than the entire edition of 40,000 copies. The June number is now ready for delivery. It is even more attractive than the May issue. We are printing 50,000 copies for the edition, and will without doubt be obliged to print a large second edition.

God’s Protecting Care for Mission Workers

Reports of the last four years show that no ordained worker has died on our mission fields. As the message has been extended to the more remote and less healthful portions of the earth, God has exercised a particular care over his servants. This demonstrates that when our workers will co-operate with God and his laws, seeking by his guidance to conserve the life and health which he gives them, they may confidently expect his protecting care in extending the proclamation of the message to every land.

Visiting Brethren in Washington Churches

VISITING brethren occupied three of the pulpits of the churches in Washington and Takoma Park last Sabbath. Elder W. H. Meredith, the president of the South England Conference, spoke in the chapel of the Foreign Mission Seminary; Elder W. A. Westworth, the president of the Southeastern Union Conference, at the Takoma church; and Elder W. C. White at the Memorial church. Collections were taken in all the churches for the benefit of the sanitariums for the colored people at Nashville and Huntsville, and a liberal amount was contributed.

The Best Mission Field in the World

“I HAVE the best mission field in the world.” This is the sentiment expressed by Elder D. C. Babcock, who has charge of our work on the West African Coast, justly termed on account of its deadly climate, the “white man’s grave.” Brother Babcock for the most part has enjoyed excellent health, and feels confident that if the recruits supplied to the field in the future will go gladly and hopefully, with confidence in God and using proper precautions for the preservation of health, there is no reason why they likewise should not work as freely in Africa as in any other mission field. Our mental and spiritual attitude toward difficult propositions determines in a large measure our success or failure.

The Nature and Cure of Disease

From the Good Health Publishing Company, of Watford, England, there comes to us a copy of an attractive booklet with the title, “The Nature and Cure of Disease,” by Dr. A. B. Olsen, superintendent of the Caterham Sanitarium. The general scope of this publication is indicated by the closing paragraph:—

From this brief but comprehensive consideration of the subject, we trust it will be clear to every reader that disease and premature death are the result, mainly, of careless habits of life and lustful indulgence, while good health and long life are the legitimate fruit of careful personal hygiene, wise sanitary precautions, simple and wholesome living, and a brave, virtuous life.

This booklet is a specimen of good typographical work, which commends the contents to the attention of the reader.

A Caution

By William Ambrose Spicer

WE caution church officers or members against requests for church lists from unauthorized persons, who call for names and addresses only to circular the churches with opposition literature. A union conference president writes that a certain man in Washington has been requesting names and addresses from some in his field, in order to supply a little sheet which seems the organ of the recent apostasy of disorganization and general attack upon the message. Our correspondent writes: “The letter that I have seen conveys the idea that if the record of names can be stolen, it will be little trouble.” Similar methods have been suggested in former factional movements, which have left their wreckage of souls all along the way. Only let not our church officers unwittingly help such a cause along by giving heed to requests simply because they come from Washington.

W. A. SPICER, Secretary.
