We wish to express the sym– pathy of the editorial staff of this mag·azine, its writers, and subscribers to Mrs. Carl Martin, our circulation manag·er, in the recent death of her husband. Mr. Martin suffered a stroke and died March 25. The fu– neral was held the following Thursday. Beside Mrs. Martin, three sons and several grand– children survive. How precious it is that as Christians we ''sor– row not as they without hope,'' for we know that we shall meet our saved loved ones in the morning 1 • Be assured, Mrs. Mar– tin, of our remembrance. of you and the family at this time.
