According to the latest news it seems that our sister, Annie Funk, is among those who found a wet grave with the passengers of the illfated "Titanic". She was returning home from India in order to see her sick mother once more. She intended to some on the "Haverford", but must have changed to the "Titanic". god leads us in mysterious ways. We hope to say more about this sad occurrence in next week's issue.

We are very glad to be enabled by the kindness of Bro. U. S. Stauffer of Quakertown, Pa., to bring a good picture of Sister Annie Funk. We also bring the resolution passed by our Eastern Conference, which enables every friend of our dear sister to contribute to a memorial for her.
At the meeting of the Eastern District Conference, held at Zion church, Souderton, Pa., May 5 to 7 the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved that the chairman appoint a committee of three with power to act, to confer with the parents of our lamented sister, Annie Funk, and with the pastor of her home church, to arrange for the erection of a suitable memorial to her memory, in the cemetery where the family has its burial plot. The memorial shall not cost less than seventy-five dollars. The said committee shall devise ways and means to meet the expense of the memorial."
The committee appointed consists of teh brethren Jos. B. Bechtel, Philadelphia, chairman; Wm. M. Gehman, Macungie, Pa. treas.; U. S. Stauffer, Quakertown, Pa., secretary. A subscription list was opened at once and a very substantial sum pledged before adjournment of the conference.
By this notice the committee desires to give all who feel prompted to assist in this worthy cause, an opportunity to do so and will thankfully credit all gifts that will be given. Contributions should be sent to the treasurer of the committee.
