loved to associate. My husband, on being
asked to speak, gave a very helpful talk on
the text, “ Let not your heart be troubled.”

| OBITUARY
McBroom.—Aqu old aud highly respected
resident ot Mambo Island, Manning River, in
the person of Brother John McBroom, passed
away suddeniy at his farm, while performing
the regular routine of necessary duties, prior
to his departure on Sabbath morning to meet
with the newly formed Sabbath school and
company at Moorlands. Daring the last few
months, the deceased with his son and daugh-
ter-in-law studied and accepted present truth,
being baptised but a fortnight ago. The
message won its way into his heart, and be-
came his favourite topic of conversation with
all whom he met, The last words the writer
heard him utter were, with solemn emphasis,
“We must be ready.” Our brother, who was
sixty-four years of age, was laid to rest in the
Coopernook cemetery, His wife, one son,
Brother Vincent McBroom, and one daughter
in Sydney are left to mourn their loss. A
short service was held in the home by the
writer, and the Rev. Davis, the Church of
Engiand minister, assisted at the graveside.
CHAS. J. REYNOLDS.
Havilah.—On Sabbath, April 13, Brother
Eugene Havilah fell asleep in Jesus at the
ripe old age of eighty-six years, He died
loving the message which he accepted more
than thirty-five yeats ago, and for which he
had prayed and given and worked in the con~
sciousness that soon he would see his blessed
Master. Twelve ribbon bookmarks from the
Sabbath School Department bear testimony
to his faithfuiness in that branch of the work,
whilst his Appeal for Missions card sent out
from the sick room testifies to his interest in
the mission field. As one of the pioneers and
steadfast adherents of the Corndale church,
he will be held in everlasting remembrance.
We laid him to rest in the Bexhill cemetery
in the presence of many sorrowing rejatives
and friends. Brother B. Arthur assisted the
writer in the services at the church and at
the graveside. A loving wife, three sons,
and three daughters are left to mourn their
sad loss. To these we extend our sincerest
sympathy. G. F. BOHRINGER,
Robson.—On May 2 our dear Sister Mary
Elizabeth Robson, aged seventy, was laid to
rest in the Cheltenham cemetery, Vic. Sister
Robson accepted present truth at Stawell,
Vic., about twenty-eight years ago, under the
labours of Pastor Robert Hare. She moved
to Western Australia, and with her danghter,
Sister McGregor, attended the Fremantle
church, Two weeks ago she travelled to
Melbourne with the intention of staying with
her daughter, Sister O'Connell of Albury,
but whilst here took a stroke and passed away
without regaining consciousness, To those
who mourn their Joss we express sincere sym.
pathy and lock forward to the coming of the
Prince of Peace and the glorious resurrection.
