triumph. Bro. McCarter's many friends sympathize with him in his 
sorrow. The Advocate tenders condolence.

McCARTER.—Mrs. Vennoree McCarter, wife of Rev. J. M. McCarter, 
pastor of the Whitehouse Circuit, East Texas Conference, died at 
the parsonage, in the town of Bullard, Texas, at 12 o'clock 
midnight, May 14, 1896. She had been ill for several months past, 
and death was not unexpected. She endured patiently a long and 
painful illness, and died, as all God's faithful ones have died, 
triumphantly trusting his promises. She was buried in the family 
burying ground at Livingstone, Polk County. To-day we gathered in 
the little church at Bullard, and while we waited the arrival of 
the railway train on which her body was to be borne to its place 
of rest, talked of her beautiful and devoted life and spoke words 
of cheer to our bereaved and broken-hearted brother. Our dead are 
with God.

H. M. DuBOSE.
