clock. This union mourns the loss
of another earnest christian worker,
in the death of Mrs. B. F. Tower,
who has been an active member since
the union first started. She has
been vice president since the first
year, and at the time of her death
was superintendent of evangelistic

saith the spirit, that they rest from
their labors and their works do fol-
