REV. A. S. SHELLY CALLED BY DEATH

The sad message of the passing of Rev. A. S. Shelly, on Thursday, January 5, was received here early this week. Rev. Shelly was widely known among Mennonites, having held responsible positions in the General Conference during various periods of his life. At the time of his death he was Secretary of the Home Mission Board and Editor of the Home Missions department of the Mission Quarterly, a periodical published by the Mission Boards.

Death came to Rev. Shelly after a relatively brief illness. Funeral services were held Tuesday at the West Swamp Mennonite church, Quarkertown [sic Quakertown], Pa., interment also being made at that place.
