Our sovereign Lord, Jesus Christ, has called our beloved Editor, Paul J. Loizeaux, home to Himself. After 50 years of labor in service to the Lord and His people, the armor and the pilgrim staff are laid down.

Thirty-seven years ago our beloved brother began to publish "The Messenger of Peace" which has been going out monthly ever since. Largely written by him, in the early years especially, he edited it to the end of his life, as well as "Help and Food," of which he had been editor for the last 12 years. Now his labor is finished, his race is ended, the good fight has been fought, the rest of God and the joy of his Lord is entered, awaiting the day when "the Lord, the righteous Judge," shall render to each one as his work has been.

Our brother, Mr. Ridout, is writing a brief history of our beloved departed brother's life and labors, which we had hoped to print as the November number of Help and Food, but more time being needed than at first anticipated, it will appear, God willing, as the December number.

That the Lord may sustain the work laid down by our brother, and keep it true to Himself and helpful to the saints, is our most earnest desire, for which we ask the prayers of the saints who have profited by these publications. T. O. L.

"Farewell, mortality,-Jesus is mine!
Welcome, eternity,- Jesus is mine!
Welcome, O loved and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Saviour's breast,-Jesus is mine! "
