— The following unusual tragedy is reported in the current issue of the Gospel Herald of Scottdale, Pa.: Brethren Reuben G. Kauffman and Jacob R. Harnish of East Petersburg, Pa., who had left their homes Jan. 11 to spend the winter in Florida, were among the winter victims in that southern state during the recent cold wave that swept the southland. They were found dead in a cottage, having evidently turned on the gas to keep warm. May the comforting grace of God abide with the surviving members of the bereaved families.
