— Referring to the recent death of Rev. C. Z. Yoder of Wayne Co., Ohio, a correspondent of the Belleville Times of Belleville, Pa., makes the following comment in a recent issue: "We were very sorry to learn of the death of C. Z. Yoder of Wayne Co., Ohio. He is well remembered here by a lot of people who attended that early morning service before breakfast at the Mennonite conference held here this past summer. The 94-year old patriarch seemed healthy and strong at that time. His inspiring leadership, and hearty singing of "We Will Work Till Jesus Comes", will be remembered by us as long as we live. We hoped he could live to be 100 years old, but his work was done.
