THE CHURCH'S BUSINESS.

RECENT DEATHS
Putnam.


Notice has been received of the death
of Mrs. N. F. Putnam at Salt Lake City,
Utah. She will be remembered IN this
vicinity as the estimable wife of the first
rector of St. Andrews parish and her
memory will ever be cherished by her
friends of those days, as they recall her
many virtues Her indomitable courage
and cheerfuIness, with loyal love for
her family and the church of which her
husband was the devoted and loyal
priest, made her a most efficient coadjut-
or. Although not strong or robust, yet
her family or the church never suffered
from her indifference or ineficiency.
After the death of her husband at Salt
Lake City her life was devoted to the
education of her children. She saw her
daughters happily married and her son,
Graham, firmly established in Salt Lake
City as one of its prominent lawyers.
Such devotion to the family, such loyalty
to the church was never equalled by any
woman, and the immortal crown of a
pure and unsel6sh womanhood has been
surely won by her.

menaces that have ever been known
in the history of nations, the total ex-

small birds cannot last for another
